Title says it all, which deck do you love more?

Legends 1 meaning the first version. 1.5 meaning the recent Black and other test versions.

Sorry, John, I tweaked your poll a bit - Lawrence Sullivan himself is calling the new Legends "version 2" rather than something like "version 1.5".

This I have to think on.  New Legends has great performance, but original Legends has all those bonus features.

Voting for my favorite was like pulling teeth.  :-[

The new legends are so insanely cool. The seal, the cut in the box, the standard courts, it's all fantastic. The back design also looks AWESOME in black.

But in the end, I had to go with the originals. The original deck had so many reveals, I could create a full mentalism trick just using the deck's features. Not to mention the hidden one-way back and marking system.

The card player in me likes the newer deck and so would the cardist.  But I have practically no skill at flourishes yet, and the magician in me loves the originals (even better if I can get a pack stripped)!  The bonus features were just too tempting and the performance really improved nicely over time.
