Question says it all.

My favorite custom deck are either the Artifice (V1) or the gargoyles.

That may change soon though, if you know what i mean.

I'm really looking forward to Lance Miller's Actuators and Russell's Americana deck looks sweet.

Can't say I actually like the looks of any of the recent custom decks. They are all seemingly cheaply designed (recolorations and whatnot).

The last truly amazing deck for me was the DeckOne from Homer Liwag. Those cards were gorgeous.

artifice, all crown decks (for some reason the backs really catch my eye), and the white lions. the simplicity of the white lions backs really appeals to me, and the jokers in the deck are pretty dang cool.
have you heard the word???

Yea the actuators do look amazing, watching him draw the court cards over the last couple of days was amazing, you should do a live-stream design type thing like that

Also i love the brimstone deck and all but i have fear about any deck that looks like it has age to it after how *eyes rolling* well the 1800's handle.

lots of little tid bits in there.


so to my understanding, because i do not own one, the secret weapon deck is all aces. hence why it was called the "secret weapon" deck.

Yeah the Secret Weapon "deck" has an awesome history but is it really a deck? It's a whole bunch of Aces of Spades.

You can screw up and you will always get the ace of spades.

ya i guess you really can't call it a deck, but it is always nice to know a little about the history of playing cards. If i had the money to get my hands on one of the original decks i would for sure buy it to have in my collection

yea what im doing right now is getting vortex decks. then getting a brick when i get more money. maybe find some thumb tips somewhere before novemeber if i can find them somewhere. then get pure smoke and some of there decks then an secret weapon deck. IDK if i should open it if i get it though. i want to just to look at it but that would lower the value.

for some odd reason though i feel like the court cards images are a bit smaller. i haven't compared them yet so it couldve just been that i haven't handled an artifice deck in awhile.

My favorite deck is the 1800 series by ellusionist because I think it is very beautiful. Arcane is also delightful.

Otherwise white centurions because its the best deck you can buy!

I agree with you on that one Phantom. I was given an 1800 series deck from a friend and have tried it out a few times but just do not like how it feels. The design is quite cool, and lots of people I know have commented about how it looks but I rarely ever use the deck because it feels......odd.

Yeah that is pretty much the jist of it. It looks sick but kinda feels like the way it looks. :/

I think it's already out, if you request performance coating you can get performance coating, if not you will get either air cushion or performance coating.

how do you request it?

There's not currently a way to request Performance finish over there standard, but keep this in mind,  They reprinted because they were low on the old stock pile of decks.  Your chances are good if your order one.

It won't feel much difference.
But the UV500 is said to be better
