Fultons Gunsmoke

[Honeybee]

Read this insulting copy
If Brad "pulled out all the stops on these"
and they have been 'a decade in the making'
Then he should have given it away a decade ago

I like the backs but nowhere else do I see any effort

[Strag]

Did he really make a big deal out of Pantone inks?? PANTONE INKS?????? OMG the hype has just jumped the shark.

[kevork]

I've realized he writes about each deck in the exact same way. Hype hype hype.

I do like the tuck, especially the color.

[Strag]

I just don't see what is so "western asthetic" about this deck. Lazy lazy lazy.

I should have given a link so people can see more

It's only a matter of time until one of his decks cures cancer.

As always, the “self entitled OG designer” strikes again

Oh well, guess there’s no cure to his superiority complex…

As long there are people who still hypnotized by his hype BS, third parties that fed on his “innocence”, artists that still willing to produce for him (poor Kowaleski and Jeff Trish), get support by the Buck Twins who carried him from the start, he will continue to produce decks: keep raking those Franklins with his “colored palette gildings” and “precious signature” until he removes his sunglasses and fedora hat

So he sort of copied the Studs Design and also named the colour Studs Blue ..... This deck randomly popped on IG and for a second I thought someone bought rights to reprint Studs ,only to find its Fultons making a back design which is sort of copy of Studs back

To the "King of Hype BSing" (talking about the producer, of course):
You CALLED yourself "the OG Designer", yet your latest deck is somewhat so CLOSE to the OG Studs? And you have the audacity to use the words "Studs Blue" to describe the color of your deck?

While Kowaleski illustrated Gumsoke for his highness, IF there's a mention like: "it is based from Studs Playing Cards", MAYBE, just MAYBE there won't be the backlash and protest he deserved, but WELP.... NOTHING ever beats his BS-ing.

[Honeybee]

Maybe he is 'teasing' acknowledgement as his first email referred to "Stud Blue" and today's email asks "Do you know what deck I am speaking of?" (I am guessing the answer is Stud but I may be wrong)

I have also attached a pic of Gunsmoke's back for comparison with Z's pic of the Stud back

[Honeybee]

This deck could have been so much better.
I am not talking about the lack of Westernization but what is actually presented
Little things like the words 'Trade Mark' on the Spade on the tuck
Brad loves the jokers but what are the rattlesnakes sitting on? I can picture much better drawn rattlesnake jokers

[laitostarr777]

The Jokers, from what I am looking at, is… a rattlesnake head in a crystal ball on a block pedestal.

Meh, I don’t know: his highness is always the king of BS

That's the culmination of his passion for Western Heritage, which is near and dear to his heart and 10 yrs stewing in his mind? (I assume 10 years in the making means that's when he got his 1st thought about it) If that's the truth, then Brad's got the passion of a near-comatose 90 yr old. (no offense meant to near-comatose 90 yr olds)

JR's LotR deck series or even Frank Frazetta is a far better example of passion and being near and dear to his heart. Plus he charged much lower to share his fandom with everyone.

Heck, even Vanishing Inc did a Western deck so much better 6 years ago, in 2019, with their Dead Man's deck (read about Joshua Jay's thoughts behind this deck here.

[laitostarr777]

At this rate, we can all agree that "the OG Designer" simply depending on hype BSing to sell his decks...

Feel sorry for those content creators who frequents promoting the decks for him.
