Great review!  You are definitely a high quality contributor that is a welcome addition to the ranks of video reviewers on youtube!

One thing I didn't quite catch was at around 5 minutes in, where you mentioned a Skull & Bones deck that you said had a similar feel to the Stoics deck with its JN Finish.

What was the exact name of that deck you were referring to?  And who printed it, and what finish does that particular deck claim to use?

Black/Gold Skull and Bones v.2 cards with classic faces and JN finish come in a beautiful high-quality art paper tuck box with foiling.

I'm thinking this is what The Wake was talking about....

The JN Finish is one of two experimental stocks that Expert PCC came out with in an effort to replicate the handling and feel of classic playing card decks.  The JN Finish stock is meant to replicate the qualities of the famous "Jerry's Nugget" decks of 1970.

If there's anyone out there who could reproduce the feel and handling of a classic deck, it would be Expert PCC and Bill Kalush.  The man knows his stuff.
