As I dont have the v3 smoke I can only speak for the mirror. Does any of your mirror expand till it is almost impossible to take it out and put it into box? Might is already like that out of the box. :( it seems fine for the other versions.
-
I have an unopened box of mirrors V3 and the box already looks like the cards were squeezed in tight.
-
Is it the same for the smoke?
-
That sounds weird. Did you take out the ad cards?
-
Nope. The only ad cards are the black AoS and the double backer right? Btw it was already like that out of the box.

Try a deck press, or the poor man's alternative, a pile of heavy books. It sounds like your cards might be absorbing moisture and expanding. A little fanning powder might help as a desiccant.

Will try putting it under a pile of heavy books and hopefully check back in a week with good news. Btw does anyone have a v3 smoke for sale at a reasonable price for sale or trade?

I just found this earlier.

By the way, you should create a thread on the sale section, not here.

Actually, this is a very common issue with Smoke & Mirror trilogy (V1-3). I can tell from having my hands on multiple sets that brand new, the decks barely fits inside of the boxes, let alone after some usage. Taking out the extra cards should help but then the question is.. where to keep those? Deck pressing (like with the books) does help but not all that much.
Is it actually impossible to get them back in or is it just very tight?

when it goes in, it is very difficult to take it out. i took out the black AoS and the double backer already. it fits normally now. but where to put them, its an s&m not some alibaba deck. lol.

Then investing in a real deck press and not just some heavy books will help. It's something like this:

or like this:

I'd be surprised if a similar product didn't exist in a magic shop in Europe, closer to you and less costly to ship.
