I'm wondering, is there a one way back for this deck? I've been looking and all I can think of is that the cards aren't centered perfectly and one side of the border is thicker than the other.

Differing widths of the border is not intentional and just a byproduct of the cards shifting when they were cut. This happens to every deck to some degree and is not part of the design.

I first noticed this with my Black Tigers and I actually used it for tricks - no one ever figured out how it worked as no one else notices such tiny details like difference in width of the borders :P
But anyone else know anything about the Sultan Treasury backs?

Well, Ellusionist has finally chimed in on how many Treasury decks were printed...

Half the run is depleted!

Thanks CBJ.   I'm sure a lot of us have been wondering about this.   We now have an answer.

I'm glad they were straightforward with it. They'll probably use them for promotional purposes but I don't think they'll have the same value as previous 5000 run decks they've done.

Hey guys!

Before you read any further, please notice that English is not my first language, so..  ::)

Anyway! I wanted to hear you guys about the Sultan Treasury deck by Ellusionist.. I have read the thread about The Sultan Republic deck, but not about this.. Treasury! :)

It is a limited deck, but I am not sure about how limited it is. At first it seems to be a limited run for 2500 decks, BUT... look at this quote from Ellusionist: "ONLY 2500 AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE" or "At this stage, only 2500 will be released for sale to the public.". They don't really tell anything about how many decks actually are produced, but only that 2500 are public available. What do you think?

Also, what are your thoughts about this deck? After going through the thread about the Sultan Republic Deck, I felt that most of you guys are rather disappointed.. but what about this limited deck? Is got another theme to it IMO. When I see the deck, I am thinking about something old, antique, rare, Arabian or something like that! Let me hear what you guys think about this!  :D

Also, have you bought any of these? I got three ::)

Again, sorry for bad English.. I am doing my best :-\

Hi there, and welcome to the forums. It's great that you're posting a thread so soon, but I believe you're 26 days late on the information:

http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/sultan-treasury-playing-cards/

Anyways I'll let Don deal with the rest mate.

Yeah.. I know I'm late, but I used the search function and didn't find anything, IDK.. maybe I misspelled something in my search, my bad!  :)

I'm sorry for re-posting about the deck.. I did use the search function and did not find anything about the deck, so I guess I misspelled or someting like that.. anyway, that can happen to anyone :)

It's all good mate ;) I've got a deck and it's pretty nice to use and looks very different.

Sold out, or simply not available?  They opened up sales for the first 2,500, but they still have another 2,500, if I'm not mistaken.

Okay then, hopefully I can get them along with some regulars before the Holiday season ends.

They're probably planning to use the rest as a premium deck - buy X, get a deck.  Good luck.
