I'd like to nominate the David Blaine Green gatorbacks for best tuck box.

And not the black ones with the silver alligator?  :))

As they're essentially the same, your nominating the Gatorbacks, not just a single color of them.  It's like me nominating the Blue Crown deck but not the Red or Green Crowns.

Please remember, everyone - nominations must be SECONDED.

Fair enough. I'd like to nominate the gatorbacks regardless of them being black or green. I do however think that it makes a difference. The tuck boxes are different, all be it just the colour of the gator. I preferred the green gatorbacks tuck compared to the black gatorback tuck.
I just really liked the green colour of the gator and thought it added an extra pop to the deck.
Having said that, I think that either are worthy of an entrance to the best tuck case of 2014.
Hopefully someone will second my nomination.

The Independence Limited Editions. Its beautiful, has a numbered hand-signed belly band printed on both sides, velum wrapper with seal, embossed with great art, great slogan 'Don't Tread on Me', and unique tuck with wrap-around door with tongue. Printed on both sides, with the inside a diptych between the Continental and Crown version.

I also think there is a difference, as in the green gators make the tuck stand out more compared to the silver/black ones.

Does the metal gears on Dale Mathis 3D Mechanized Deck count? If it does, i would like to nominate that.

The difference lies only in the color of a single element - if photographed in black and white, they'd look nearly the same.

Gatorbacks

D&D Gold Private Reserve

Mana No.3 Sybil tucks.

PICK ONE.

Yes, and it WOULD count as a different deck from the non-mechanical one.  Why?  Because there's an actual, tangible difference that's more than simply a color change on the box.

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
D&D Private reserve.

I absolutely love the inner foil and this was the first deck I have come across personally with the angled box lid that I think looks really slick.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

We nominate the Aquila Limited edition deck by Kardify, Ade Suryana and produced by Lawrence Sullivan of Legends PCC. I know it hasn't been seen yet but it is far and away the finest production values for a tuck yet released by anyone, anywhere.

That will be just fine, as long as it delivers this year.

That's pretty intense praise on the LE Aquillas considering what's come out this year. Excited to get my Aquillas soon.  :D

Hard choices here with 52+J slipcase, Gnostic Rose Gold, LUXX, Tenebre Rosso, and Zenith. Not to leave out the overlooked and gorgeous tuck for Boardwalk Papers. Little black dress truck of Unbranded Double Blacks, and Moriartys. The very slick Ornates as well. The Prohibition series looks like it's going to have some sharp tucks as well. Then there's another pretty amazing tuck due to hit later this month too.. RUN!

No way I choose one yet hahaha.

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.
