Thanks for the nomination Tom!

And to prove we aren't biased over here at Expert we want to nominate the Aquila Limited Edition by Kardify and Ade Suryana, produced by Legends PCC. I have to say the tuck on this deck is absolutely the gold standard at this time!

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
If I had to pick only 2, the ones that standout to me the most this year...

David Blaine's "Gatorbacks"

Kings & Crooks "Empire Bloodline"

Sorry, you don't have to pick just two.  You have to pick JUST ONE!

Thank you everyone for your nominations!!!
Just note if you pick 3-10 decks your first nomination will be the one that counts.
Also if the deck is yet to be released, the vote can only count if it is released in 2014.

Ideally, you should select just ONE deck to nominate.  We're picking the best, not the best two, the best three, the best four, etc.

Nominations HAVE TO BE SECONDED to be legit!  People can second as many decks as they like.

I just wanted to take a moment on behalf of the Aquila Team to thank everyone who supported the deck. It's nice to be in the company of other amazing decks, but I really wanted to thank Lawrence from LPCC for making what we saw in our heads become something real, and I also want to thank Bill Kalush from EPCC for his support and help behind the scenes. We couldn't have done this without them.

On a personal note, I want to thank Ade and his crew at 3 of Clubs, Ade is amazingly talented and I can't wait to work with him again, also a shout out to my partner in crime at Kardify, Ivan Choe, I couldn't ask for a better person to work with on this project or Kardify.

Aquila was truly a collaborative effort and we're all thankful for everyone who backed the project and helped support us along the way.
