Deck didnt have the charisma like Rae, Meth, Ghost or even ODB. I dont know if his first joint was supposed to drop before Cuban Linx, but I think RZA new and chose the correct order to drop that string of first solo albums. Meth and ODB were the stars with Rae and Ghost following them.
I think the biggest problem is he didn't get a fully produced Rza solo album. He didn't stand out as much as Meth or Dirty from the beginning, but I'd say people knew him as well as Rae and Ghost because of strong verses on Protect Your Neck and Cream. OB4CL and Ironman is what really brought Rae and Ghost into the limelight more. Deck never got that.

His original album produced by RZA was destroyed in that basement flood right?
Yep. Apparently, it was dope too. Of course that's just what they say, but Rza was batting 1000 back then so I believe them. I think it's safe to say we missed out on something great.
