That clown king might be too scary for me

Nice European Comic style art. Definitely one of the better Bicycle branded deck designs out there.

You can get eb's of either one of the decks but not both??

These scream AI-generated art to me. It's getting harder to tell nowadays, but some of the details in the hair and clothes don't make sense and wouldn't be drawn like that by a real artist. Combined with there being no artist listed, these get a pass from me.

I think you might be right on the AI. I have a friend that plays with AI. He looks in real life kind of like the king of diamonds and I swear I have seen somerhing he has done that looks almost identical to that card.

I kind of like the images except for maybe the plain tucks but what is keeping me from backing is the tier options and pricing. Not too expensive in general but too much for what it is imo.

The artwork looks a bit too much like mobile game artwork for my taste so I will have to pass. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times, but I, too, am skeptical about the artwork source. It may be legitimate, but it's a huge pet peeve of mine not to see who the artist is. Also, the courts and back design highlight a very large skill gap, so I have to wonder if they were done by two different people.

Also, 200 uncut sheets? That's.......a lot.

I agree. I had a similar feeling with War of Realms. The drawings were nice but seemed too much like they were taken from a comic book or something else and so they seemed out of place on playing cards.
I like the images from both aforementioned decks but to me there is something odd about them.
