What is the best looking card box in your opinion. For me it's the "White Lions" decks, although I don't own any.

I agree the White Lions tuck box is awesome. Also, although I do no have the Fantastique deck in hand yet, from the pictures that have been shown, I am also a big fan of its tuck box. From the pictures of the Monarch, I do quite like that design as well, but I don't think I like as much as the other two mentioned.

Three that pop to mind for me are Deck One, Sentinels and Fantastique. All have lovely details in their own way.

From what I've seen, the box for Ellusionist's Infinity deck looks amazing. But for already existing decks, I would have to say Artifice.

It's a tough call but I think I prefer the Smoke and Mirrors V6s tuck box to any of the others I have.

Well guys, for me there's an easy winner.

Far and beyond the rest of them...

The Seasons decks









These decks are amazing.  And I love the way you can put them together to make different patterns.

can't wait till they go on sale!

I completely forgot about the Seasons box art. I retract my previous statements and completely agree with CBJ on this ( although, the White Lions and Fantastique are pretty awesome). These tuck boxes are so unique with the multi design aspect to them and the art itself is beautiful. I am really looking forward to the launch of these decks.

First off kudos to loldudex2 for this thread. I think its an interesting question to pose and makes for a great discussion.

My top three...
1. Monarch
2. Sentinels
3. White Lions

and honorable mention to Seasons for their creative genius and awesome box design. I love patterns with the boxes.

Another box I am really looking forward to is the "Infinity Deck" by Ellusionist! Not sure what they have in store, but the teasers have looked great!

Besides the seasons box, I like the sentinels, guardians, and the 1800 series boxes. They look amazing.

The aging on the 1800's deck is pretty cool.

So can we agree that the best looking box is a tie between the Monarchs, and Seasons?
