Has anybody managed to employ the most promising but just very recently published deck from Strange Attractor Press yet and happened to obtain any curious or unusual results?

purplepiepete,
My reply will not be too exciting as the short answer is: I have not (acquired the deck, that is).
As I look for ordering options, I seem to only find the book, Lost Envoy (which looks to be incredible). I can't seem to find the deck itself even on the Strange Attractor website.
If you have a decent link to an ordering option for the US, I'd be interested.
Hope someone with the deck will reply to your inquiry!

The only thing I have been able to find is a kickstarter via strangeattractor

It may be a case of me being dense but I do not see any way to order a deck from the link provided. It appears to be a closed kickstarter page with promise of shipment to happen last year.
After purplepiepete's initial post, I really want a deck from which to report some of those curious experiences!

I will join you in the combined gravitational field of extreme density... A colleague mentioned she had got the deck this way, but had ordered it last year. Thats all I have found, maybe it will open up to more orders soon!

It is my understanding that once the backers of the Kickstarter project have had their orders filled, there may the possibility of ordering remaining stock. Let's see…

It appears as if I may have jumped the gun on this a little and that there are currently less decks in public circulation than I thought there were.
Since there are 2,048 backers, and assuming the large majority of these only want to purchase the one, it implies a print run of 3,000 - or at least 2,500 - leaving some amount in the hundreds over. Originally, the information was that any extra decks, once the backers had all been accounted for, would be released for the availability of the wider public through the SAP website. However the most recent word would seem to suggest that this isn't any longer the case for some reason, at least for the present.
It therefore looks as if tales of high strangeness, or at least of curious and unusual phenomena, will have to wait for the time being (including yours, Kyle!)
PS/NB: Incidentally, as of writing I am still waiting for my own deck to arrive so am unable to comment on any such myself. The price of the deck, a hardback (second) edition of Lost Envoy, plus a few bits and pieces of 'limited' ephemera such as postcards, tote bag, enamel badge etc, came to £91 altogether (including shipping from overseas).

I would hope that, in the not so distant future, we might find this deck available to the larger (non-backing) public. Maybe US Games would pick it up? After all, they have published many niche decks over the years (including the Baseball Tarot, I believe!) Stuart Kaplan would want to see Spare's deck widely available, that's for sure! Attachments:
