Tonight's championship title fight pits two solid athletes, known for solid performance combined with good looks, style and grace!!
In this corner, weighing in at three deck colors, the classy, the elegant, HOPC VERVE deck!
And in this corner, weighing in at four different color combinations, the sharp and controversial, THEORY11 MONARCHS!
OK, you two, I want a clean fight out there - no hitting below the cellophane pull-strip! Take your corners and get ready...
DING-DING-DING!
Don't forget, people - there's a door prize to be won if you vote and back up your vote with a comment! See the "How to Play" sticky topic at the top of this board for details!

Verve, much classier imo. I could see this deck being used in some high end event.
-
This is another one that I'm torn over. I love the faces on the Verves, but while the first back was great, the second was OK and the third was generally not liked as much. Monarchs got a terrible rep when they came out because of all the hype and the last-minute color-scheme switch, and they have recolored standard USPC faces. But the Monarchs have a great AoS and twin jokers, along with a cool-looking back - and absolutely no one denies that the box is a thing of beauty.
I wanna say Verve, but I have to say Monarchs.
-
You have GOT to be kidding me... No contest - Monarchs.
They trump Verve easily. Monarchs have beautifully balanced handling and look absolutely amazing. Top 5 decks ever. Verve, Meh, it got tackier with each edition. That yellow... *shiver.

The Verve deck has a lovely simple yet elegant design that no one could pass up, The handling and the looks combined makes a great deck for a classy event.
Verve all the way

I wish there was one of these contests where I owned both decks so I cans try to give a good comparison. But still.....
Monarchs get my vote! I love the whole design of the deck, from the tuck to the courts. I love how they feel in my hands, and the smell you get from a fresh deck!

Bro - there's a sticky topic on the list for submitting SUGGESTIONS, and no one has submitted any! What the hell are you waiting for? :))

Monarchs. Simple and sweet, awesome handling. Verve are too tacky in my opinion, and they are a fairly average deck in terms of handling.
-
Well, it's clear who won this match - Monarchs by a TKO.
The comment winner today is - Joshua Robinson! This is Josh's second time as a winner, making him the third two-timer in a row... We might need to fix that somehow...
New battle coming in mere moments...
...and it's ready!
