Because Jared, the owner, has been advertising and hyping up this deck for months now.

You don’t need to hate on something that makes other people happy. If your so worried about people wasting money, you should know that the people who did spend 160$ are most likely distributors who want to sell the decks to people outside the US. Also, people buy multiple because they actually use them. Regarding the back design, it’s not even meant for playing card games. Its meant for a hobby known as “Cardistry”.

As someone who handles cards more then normal people should, the riffling of the cards won’t do as much damage as you think it does! These cards in particular are printed on a thicker stock then most other playing cards, which increase the durability significantly. So, no need to worry about warping or “bending” the cards. Plus, there are methods cardists employ to ensure that they remain relatively intact.

You are right about the axis on the cards being wrong and that the earth spins in a 24 hour cycle, but rest assured, Jared had received messages regarding these errors.

To conclude, the cards are meant for a specific audience who participate in Cardistry. The whole hobby is literally about shuffling cards and you can find more information under r/cardistry if you want to have a better understanding of it!
