First of all, I do have this deck. I just got it with a friend's order.

I give this 4 stars because it is a well crafted product, but it has some big issues.

The Good:
-fantastic marking system.
-tons of effects and routines can be done with this. It should really be seen as a utility device.
-lots of tutorial time with the best definitely being Ian Rowland's part.
-beautiful overall design on the front and back.

The Bad:
-for the price, 2 decks should have been provided. No ifs or buts. 28 cards for $40?? Infinity deck is cheaper and has 52 cards. I see a lot of Evoke simps commenting on other reviews. Guys, have some self-respect.
-These should have been PLASTIC. As good as the cards are, I cannot gig confidently with them because they will 100% be destroyed upon first use. Eclipse ESP cards are plastic. These should have been too.
-As long as the tutorial is, most of it is complete filler. Cards across? ACR? C'mon.
-Some of the emotion cards should have been renamed. Yuck, Zest, Xenophobia? Spectators are intelligent and many will detect something is off.

Overall, I am happy with these because they encourage me to be creative. However, there are some big issues that prevent it from ultimately becoming a worker.
