Is it true that these cards handle super good? The price is very high but I am very curious. Just not $250 curious.   :'(

I don't know about the handling, but the reason of that price is that this deck were printed only 1100 decks, which is really rare.

I would assume that they handle the same way the normal Centurion decks do. Besides the colour difference, I don't think they changed the finish or the stock of the cards. They are just expensive, as Phantom mentioned, because there were not many printed.

Was there ever a time when the WC were sold openly? This deck has always intrigued me and I would love to add one to my collection. Such a simple design (especially the tuck box) and people go gorillas over it.

Yeah. Theory11 were selling it for $4.95 according to there page.

I wishs I was into cards at that time  :'(

Anyways I was snooping around forums and found this as an interesting read

You can find these decks cheaper than $250.

I would also wait for their Christmas promotion, which might include a WC reward.  That's how I ended up with mine.

Good luck

Yeah we'll wait and see what theory11 does  :D

So did you ever try the WC cards? I heard they r godly from one person, but on reviews from youtube I hear they r pretty ordinary.

I haven't opened mine, but I would imagine they feel and handle just like the original black Centurions, and the Guardians.

I'm not aware of this deck getting any special finish.

And, if someone from T11 is reading this... I think a red variation of this deck would be amazing!

I'm not sure of a christmas promotion but the black friday promotion was if you spent $25 you got a brown wynn, and if you spent $50 you got a white centurion or vice versa.

It's pretty freaking cheap! I wasn't really into cards that much last year, so I didn't do it, but on Black Friday, for 12 hours onlyif you spent over $25 you got a free Brown Wynn, and for $50 you got a Brown Wynn and a White Centurion.

I took advantage of last years promo.  I spent over $50, and received a Brown Wynn AND a White Centurions.
The deal was too good to pass up, and I actually regret not making 2-3 more purchases to get the same deal

All I can say is WOW. I will 100% be making a purchase or 2 if they decide to run the same promo or something similar. There is no way in hell I could pass that one up.

My plan is to make a $50 order on T11 to get the White Centurion. And then make a huge order from Ellusionist with all their new decks and limited decks and more!

I'm not sure they will do the black friday again.
Because they might run out of the decks, cause the hugh order.

If that is the case and they are worried about running out of decks, that would just mean that we would need to act quicker than we may have already planned. If it is like last time, we will need to spend money in order to get the rare decks, so they may not sell out as fast as if they were sold as single units.

Well because there are only 1100 decks its possible they might make the purchase reward pretty high to get these. I'm sure quite a bit were sold last black friday if it was for customers who spent $50. $50 is not that much.

I hope to hell that they do not sell them outright. That would be a cluster funk to go down in the history books. I do not have a Brown Wynn not a WC...both would be very nice in my collection. I am just crossing my fingers to see the WC in some kind of promo. That is how I got my GA and I could not be happier!!!

i have none of those but if they run it where you get one when you buy so much i want it to be in my price range but im betting if it was then everyone could get them.

The link for last years sale announcement still works!

I forgot that not only did you get the free decks...  they gave you 25% OFF your purchase! What a sale it was!



Here's the link to the sale announcement:

Hopefully this year will be just as good!
