Madison Rounders (2014 Edition)

Why are you posting the same link 3 times with different names? Are you spamming on Madison's behalf?

The acts of a true fanboy ! Let the down rep begin !!

I'm a fan of NOTHING and NO ONE. I admire and support the work of others, period. I represent myself and no one else.

Maybe your right about posting 3 different projects with the same link.

Guys, Madison talks about three different decks in the video so he made a thread so you can talk about each of the three different decks. Could he have made one, sure, but I'm sure once more comes out about these we will want to have different threads for them.

Yeah, agreed. Three decks, three topics. Whenever we combine decks into a single topic, it tends to get confusing.

And I'm getting a little tired and bored of COMBINING new topics with pre-existing topics about the SAME THING because someone couldn't be bothered to check first... Plus it would help to spell "Madison" correctly...

These should still have borders. I believe it's just a color change with a different tuck box design. Pretty sure I know the direction Madison is going. He cant complain about people imitating him, if he is going imitate. Better him then anyone else, I suppose. I'm still going to want some.

The fire burns.

I personally have no idea what is going to be different in this latest version of the Rounders, other than the box.

I've not really cared for the red, blue, and brown variations, because I'm not a big fan of new editions which have nothing more than a change in colour.

And as much as the Madison decks have been totally done to death by Ellusionist, I'm still keeping an open mind towards this one, until more details/photos are revealed. If it is something like a different stock/finish and/or a significant upgrade to the design, then it may end up being pretty cool after all.

My guess would be the new Rounders are inverse in colours (black where it's white, and white were it's black) or maybe it's a black and silver for the back design. That way it would fit with the classy/elegant tuckbox.

It's not inverse. Look at the other back designs of Rounders tuck boxes. What you see on the box of this version is the back design. Just like past versions of Rounders, these will have borders even though the box does not display the border.

Most who like Madison's taste in playing cards are really going to like this.

I reckon it's pretty cool.

HolyJJ · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2014, 12:07:32 PM »

Turns out to be a borderless version.

I prefer borderless decks... and so finally, a Madison deck that i like!

Card Player · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2014, 12:59:43 PM »

It's different. I will give them that. Its a minimalist version of Madison Players. I cant help but have that Artifice Tundra feeling. I'm waiting for the Ghost Pip reveal? (Sarcasm)

Shebhnt · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2014, 02:14:34 PM »

I actually really like that back, I know that it is probably as minimal as you can get but all I can think of is how well that would hide a lot of different moves and tricks.

What would someone like DM need to hide?

Shebhnt · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2014, 03:28:59 PM »

Actually I think with this kind of design most people think that you can't hide anything. They don't realize that all that white is going to make it much harder to spot the edge of cards.

New Joker, "Best Yet"

I don't agree. This is a step back from the amazingly unique Dealers joker.

These are available to black club. I bought a brick!

Tuck box design was explained. Last in the series.

Shebhnt · « **Reply #21 on:** April 22, 2014, 06:02:25 PM »

Not in the "club", so I'll just have to wait till tomorrow when they release it.

MrMollusk · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2014, 12:06:35 AM »

Well, they're out now.

I have to admit, I never liked the Madison courts. I love the Magician courts that CARC and David Blaine use sometimes, but it seems more like a vanity deck when Madison used his version.

Still a nice deck. I like the box and the mostly blank back, but I think this is a pass for me.

Card Player · « **Reply #23 on:** April 26, 2014, 07:46:10 AM »

Having digested the new White Rounders deck, I'm able to now objectively collect my thoughts.

I applaud Madison for wanting to take risks. The edge to edge, yet bordered white back is a brilliant concept. Madison's insight behind the design is vital to the understanding and appreciation of this deck. However, knowing there were risks about its design the insight came too late or lack thereof. The inconsistency of the design screws with every person who ever bought a Rounders deck. You have the 4 rounders decks and then you have what will inevitably become the pimple on the ass of Madison playing cards (White Rounders). An annoying blemish. It's a Frankindeck (black tuck, silver foil, only a back design on one side of the tuck, white cards w/ black logo, a joker never used before).

I feel like too many people are involved in Madison projects. Its evident in this example and the Madison Gamblers. Ellusionist always makes quality cards and this will be no exception. The crowning glory to Madison Rounders it is not.

I do like the tuck and all white back on these, so 2 for the collection. I don't know If I would have jumped on board if I had any of the previous versions though. These will be my 1st Rounders decks.

I still think the Dealers and Players are my favorites.

That's interesting. It's usually the other way around. Own the first 4 have to buy the 5th.

God bless collectors!

M+Dealers are a traditional borderless deck, I like those much better. Probably still my favorite D+M deck

M_O, I'm happy that you enjoy making reviews so much, but please keep them in the Deck Reviews board.

Keep your posts relevant. The topic is about the new, white Madison Rounders. You mention you like the Madison Dealers better in comparison. Without explaining why, it can look to some like you were attempting to promote your YouTube channel in an inappropriate place. So please tell us your reasons for liking the Dealers better in comparison to the white Rounders. The video alone won't cut it, because the video review of the Dealers was made before the white Rounders were released, thus it provides no comparison between the two decks.
