My point about red artifice v2 is that I can]t imagine how ugly it would be with white boarder, not that it`s hard to get.

o shoot. sorry. i just read some of the people talking about how long their mothers waited to get the cards for them. i didnt mean to get off topic
have you heard the word???

Not any red deck. We just mean the red artifice deck would look bad with a border.

sorry, i meant artifice i was just being lazy. I don't see who red artifice would like bad as a border. they would probably look odd just like the blues do, but no different.
have you heard the word???

I think the borders kinda "destroy" the look of the cards, they look so mystical and everything (the box, the faces, the Ace of spades) looked so perfect together and the white border doesn't look so good on the box

I think the emerald artifice will look nice with the border. But I like them all best without the border.

I am magician, but I love v1.
I don't really use those outstanding looking deck for magic.
I draw out too much suspicious.

Honestly I prefer the borderless V1 version of the deck. It looked more complete and elegant in my opinion.

Stumbled across this review.

Oh I can't stand deckreview. He sounds so bored when he reviews and he dissed the Arcane deck.  >:(

i think its nice but not as nice as v1 also if you listen to their last podcast they said they are making an emerald green artifice which i think would be amazingly nice
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I understand why they did it but  I think they ruined an awesome deck by doing so.

I think the option of having both versions is nice. I don't believe they should call it a "v2."

I think these days the words "v2" or "fifth edition" are thrown around carelessly.

I believe a bordered version was a must for their core magician demographic. They listened to the largest complaint and within a few months fixed the problem that many people had. Still, the card industry needs a serious overhaul of semantics.

I'd call it Artifice v1.1.

Having a border on playing cards allows magicians to use reversed cards in the deck and they are not easily spotted. If you use a deck where there are no borders, then the reversed card is easily distinguishable compared to the rest of the cards in the deck. Given that most of Ellusionists customer base is magicians, it makes sense for them to sell a deck that provides the option for many more card magic effects by having a border on the cards.

Hope that answers your question  :D

haha ok i understand already so you have a deck and a reversed card then you go through the deck slowly showing only the borders then the person would think it is a normal deck of card without knowing the reversed card because of the borders hiding it ..lol am i right?
