It doesn't looks bad but its expensive, plastic coated, and a poker deck. I'll pass on this one. It just doesn't interest me.
First, ALL paper decks are plastic coated. The laminates used are all types of plastic.
Second, this isn't even plastic-coated - it's PLASTIC, of the same material as the Bicycle Prestige deck.
I think I see why this deck is so costly. The Prestige deck wasn't made at the USPC plant - they had it done at the Fournier plant in Vitoria, Spain. They did the same thing for the Karnival Death Heads deck - very costly, but it's a worthwhile deck; I own it and carry it all the time. I just wish it wasn't jumbo index and had more customizing, but as a deck of cards, it's solid and hard to ruin. They'll faro great, just don't fan them!
I like the design. It's unique, but he hasn't strayed too far off the path of familiarity. No poker pro would touch these with a ten-foot pole, but I can see a bunch of college-aged guys laying these down on poker night. And the back design, what little I could see of it, was actually intriguing.
I'm in wait-and-see mode on this deck. His rewards are kind of costly, but the deck does have potential.
