First I want to give a big thanks to Kevin Reylek from NY Magic Project for sending me a couple White Arrco decks!
And I apologize in advance that I am not very good at written reviews.

Box: The box is like the other Arrco decks except that it is black and white. The side says, "PREMIUM FINISH  MADE IN THE USA" (It is Magic Finish)
The bottom of the box has "NYMP" and the link to the new arrco website.

Stock and Finish:  It has Magic Finish and 325 Stock which sounds nice. But for some reason the deck has some sort of texture to it. I may just have to break in the cards more. The stock is pretty soft which I like.

Feel: The deck feels ok. Yea, just ok. Its not something that I would go ranting about. But its not bad at all.

Springs, Fans, Dribbles: This is where the White Arrco deck excels. The springs and dribbles are excellent and feel very nice! Fans on the other hand, aren't too nice. The design seems to only show on a few cards when I fan it and the fans aren't as nice as some other decks. Fans showing the front are decent as well... some of the cards don't show well.

Design: This is my first Arrco deck. I really like the back design... it is very elegant and detailed! The number cards are very nice too... the pips are kind of rounded which I like. Court cards... I don't like them. They're similar to, if not the  same ones as the crown decks.

Other: The deck comes in a certain stack. I don't know what stack it is.
And the deck comes with 2 double backers!

Overall: I give it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
Its pretty good after you use it for a few minutes. So, I definitely recommend you all pick some of these up!
You'll really enjoy them! And for you collectors, they're limited, so pick em up!

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them!

If the stack is like Ace of Clubs,4of Hearts,7of Spades,10 of Diamonds.....then its SiStebbins.
If not then most likely its Juan Tamarize Stack.
Currently waiting for those decks being released :
- Seasons [Primavera / Seronda]  / Aether [Vortex] / Bicycle [Actuators] / Mana [Oracle] / The Blue Crown - [Altruism] / Encarded [Tendril]

Thanks for the review Evan!  Since you just got the cards today, I'd love to hear a "progressive" review as you break the cards in.  One thing I've found with this stock/finish combo is that they feel and handle even better after a little break-in period.  I must say, my experience with fans on this deck (and any other decks with the Magic Finish) are the exact opposite of what you mention.  I find it to be great for fanning.
 
The faces are standard Arrco faces, and yes, they're the same as what you'd find on the Crown decks (except for the Ace of Spades and Jokers, of course!)
 
The stack is related to the Tamariz Mnemonica stack, but it is not in Mnemonica.  As far as I know, this is the first deck to ever come in this particular order.
 
The cards will be available at Midnight EST tonight at www.arrcocards.com (the site is not live yet, so there's nothing to see for now!)

These will not be available on the regular NYMP site, we will only be posting them on the arrcocards.com site (and thebluecrown.com as well!)

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

  • Facebook:
Looks like after 4.5 hours on sale through both sites, the Arrco site still has 3,296 left while Blue Crown sold out in about a half-hour.  I'm guessing BC had either 1,000 or 1,500; probably just 1,000.

Wish I would have known about the bonus deals from Arrcocards.com before buying with BC...   :(

Then again, Blue Crown has their whopper of a holiday giveaway as well!
