Innocence Holographic Edition
🕑 Added 2022-07-28 16:55:33 +0000 UTCFirst things first - if everything works out the way I envision, the Innocence holo deck will be the deck for my next Kickstarter campaign. Most likely this fall.
It's been almost a year since I talked about the Innocence holo deck idea for the first time in this post. Quite a few things have changed since then.
I had to part with my original idea and look for a new company to produce this deck with me. Of course my first thought was USPCC. They inspected the back design and told me that the dots would be too thin for their MetalLuxe foil. I should make the whole design a bit thicker. I don't think I need to mention that changing my artwork just to fit their specifications is absolutely not an option for me. This put USPCC out of the running.
There are still a lot of contingencies but the Innocence holo deck will have the same finish and stock like the Black Polyanthas. So you'll be able to check out the card quality very soon.
I'm currently working on getting the prototye decks done. Ten prototype decks cost around $600. Quite a lot money but I also wanna make sure that the holo effect really looks powerful on the back. There is a small chance that it doesn't work at all as I imagine it. Then I would have to say goodbye to the Innocence holo idea. So let's hope for the best.
I love the silver paper inside of the Cold Foil Hotel tuck box so much that it was no question for me to use holographic paper inside the Innocence tuck box. Discreet from outside and in your face when you open the tuck :D
The court cards, Ace of Spades and the Jokers will also get holo foil. So there will be cold foil on both sides. I want to replace the grey color on the courts with holo foil. As you can see on the render, it could look pretty extreme. Another reason why I need the prototypes first.
I'm thinking about making 2-3 prototype decks available for you. More about it in the next few weeks.
Let me know what you think and thanks for reading.
Much love
Daniel

The reason for the Dondorf prototypes was a different one and the deck was printed by MPC. So I knew the final deck is going to be a lot better. There is a small chance, if everything is right, that you can't tell at the end which Innocence deck is the prototype and which one is the final deck. But I need the prototypes to really check out the details. There could be a lot mistakes and I don't want to sell 100 imperfect decks. I also don't want to sell 100 perfect decks if you can't see a difference at the end to the final deck 😃

Would it lower the cost per deck on the prototypes if you opened it up for us to buy more like on the Dondorf deck
Martijn van de Kant
That sounds awesome man! They look amazing and can't wait to see how the prototypes will turn out!

Ok.. complete whole brick material then, no doubt 😅😂 thanks Daniel
Daniel Schneider
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Speaking of brick… I wanna do a magnetic half brick box for this deck. Expensive af again but this deck deserves it :D

I'm afraid I might sound exaggerated.. but I'm also sure that many here will feel like myself. You can't stop breaking my top 5 favourite decks' list every time you release something, can you? 😊 Innocence was already a top for me, and this version could be the second 'whole brick' purchase in my life.. what a beauty!

True but holo would look sooooo good. I mean the gold would too but I think we all would all rather have the holo lol
Dwayne Dibley
Count me in :)
Zach Calametti
Absolutely beautiful! I would definitely pick up a prototype if given the chance... excited to see how it turns out! =)
Daniel Schneider
If holo doesn't work I know gold foil definitely works 🌝
Jay Dubb
I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed and pray this idea comes to reality but meets all of your specifications and stipulations. I love the innocence deck and putting some shine on it will only make me like them that much more!
