The flexible, durable card stock and premium finish ensure that the decks handle like a dream.

just helping you answer your own question ;)

I guess that doesn't give an actual stock name, so thats 1/2 the answer

I know the finish is Magic Finish but I don't know the stock for sure.

I'd guess it's the Aristocrat version being used in Tally Ho decks.

Variations in temperature and humidity can make the same stock handle completely differently. Both the Aristocrat and Tally Ho decks are made from Aristocrat stock, but they handle quite differently. There was another recent deck that was made from a new variant of Aristocrat, too - can't remember which one, but I think it was mentioned here somewhere.
