So with the slowness of the discourse over the couple of days im coming up with a top that i think will be fun.

So this is going to be a little bit of a quiz testing your knowledge on playing cards.

Okay question 1: Name as many stock as you can.

Question 2: Name as many finishes as you can

Question 3: Name as many decks as you can that have the magic finish.

Thats all for today guys.

You can throw in foreign stuff, as long as you say what deck has the stock and finish you state.

Thats all for today guys.

There is also the "Imperial finish" on Mr. Mysterio's "Emperor" deck. The stock is totally wack too.

They're pretty bad :/
The finish is an air cushion like, but it has no spreading ability at all. The stock is pretty thin with no snap or thickness. Its in this begginer magic box sold at barnes

The little book it comes with has a pretty cool story about the amazing Mr. Mysterio but I think its fiction. Never heard of him till I bought this.

Fan and racer is all I can think of  :)
