Most people just use the artwork from their computer. You can order a test deck for $250 I think is what it costs and use that if you want a video of it. You can make a profit on Kickstarter. Look at the Blue Fontaines... over $67,000 raised from Kickstarter alone!??!?! A lot of people that sell cards on there though only make a few thousand dollars (if they are lucky). These people typically make their profit by selling their cards after the Kickstarter on websites. That is actually the entire goal of Kickstarter... It is not there to have you sell items and make a profit (though very possible that you will). It is there to help you kick start your work. In other words use it to raise the $7,000 needed to make the cards, and the rest of your money comes from selling the cards after.

why is it so much money to get a test deck made and what would be an good goal to set for the kick starter. and what would happen if i do not reach this goal and dose the uspcc ship the cards or do i have to. also how long would it take for the cards to be finish and shiped out to all the backers

Again, you can direct all your questions right to the USPCC. It's not cheap to make the templates and print out just one deck. They sell them in rolls (2500+ decks) at a time to make it work their time. Not to be rude, but I do need to be straightforward... Are you sure you are ready to create a deck? It seems like you really are not even close to prepared and it looks like you don't even understand how Kickstarter works to begin with...

your more then likely right but it not something im planing to do right away. i think it would take a at least 2 years just so i can
understand how the process works and that i can make the cards and get it done as smoothly as possible i also have to come up with the cards and how they look. thank you for all the help and hopefully in a few years i can get these cards made

Yeah, I'm still working on a design for a deck I am trying to make to raise money for a charity (almost identical to the idea of T11's Charity:Water decks). I started it a year ago in July and hopefully I can get the Kickstarter up and going by next month. It's a long tedious process and I don't even know if I'll be able to pull it off. The best thing you can do it email the USPCC and they will send you a packet with all the information you need. Pretty much if I can't raise the money needed to make the cards from Kickstarter (about $7,000) then they won't be made :(
