Title: Cards for Birthday/Christmas
Post by: JoaquinWilmot on November 03, 2011, 08:03:36 PM
Hello there, it's been a long time since I've posted here, and I wanted to know what cards I should get for my birthday and christmas.

My budget here is in the $200-$250 (and if some magical thing happens, possibly $300), so price is not much of an issue here. I am looking for the nicest, most praised, and awesome cards. Make sure that none of these decks cost more than $20, because I'm looking to buy quite a few of the kinds you suggest me.

Many thanks in advance
Joaquin

Well, for a start I would look at The Fantastique Deck by Dan & Dave. They are only selling so many. They haven't sold out yet, but I'm sure they will sometime soon. From the pictures I've seen it looks like a beautiful deck.

If I think of any other good decks I'll let you know  :)

Oh and Happy Birthday by the way!!

Thanks, even though my birthday isn't until December 21! Anyways, I'll look into it, and I'll see if I'll like it or not :)

I have
>Bicycle Ghost
>T11 Sentinels
>T11 D1IE
>A ton of Rider Backs
>De'vo's Blades, Midnight Edition
>Bicycle Fashion Deck
>Ghost Gaff
>Bicycle Breast Cancer Deck
>Aviators
>Bee Club Specials

May not seem like a lot, but I don't buy many decks, just decks I am accustomed to. I have to say though, the Ghost deck is by far my favorite.

Sentinels handling is bad.

Hahaha, I know how you feel. I hate the f'ing deck, it sucks. It lasts for a day at most. I also hate the stock and finish it was printed on, not to mention how OFF CENTERED THE CARDS WERE. The back design was leaning about 1/4-1/2 inch to one side.

I didnt find the handling all that bad honestly. I heard that many people did, but they didnt give me much trouble. I do agree that others out there may handle better, but I didnt think this deck was as bad as everybody said

Personally, it could be my slightly biased opinion on Theory 11. I don't like them too much, it just seems like they price everything too high, and that it isn't very creative :/

I hate it sooo much! All theory11 talks about is how great it is but its actually TERRIBLE! Sure it look nice but the box looks better than the cards!  I love T11 but that deck is just horrible
