I always thought Lance Miller's Gargoyles were the second. We all know the first: Gold Arcanes.
Were all of De'vo's Blades made with Magic Finish?
Actually I don't know which deck is the first one. Many of my friends are his fans, but not all of them can read English, so I noticed every message issued by de'vo before and after he released the Blades. I remember well he mentioned the Blades used a new finish from USPC and it's the 2nd deck, but still don't know which one is the first.
The stock of Blades is somewhat soft if compared to XCMers/cadists' all time favorite deck, Tally Ho. However,
"we are talking about playing cards, not dick" said de'vo
From May to Oct last year, I focused on other interests and didn't pay attention to playing cards, so I don't have any deck released within that period, such as other editions of Blades, TBC decks, E Artifice decks, etc.
