idk what I think of the look of it but I will get 2 and I am going to get 3 blood blades and 1 BloodMetal.


I really hope the cards don`t have the same theme as the deck.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

The Blades handle wonderfully, no doubt about that, but so does literally every other USPCC deck with the Magic/embossed finish with Aristocrat stock.

Blades decks use Magic finish and aristocrat stock?

IMO, Blades is not Aristocrat stock, not that good. But Blades uses Magic Finish and it's the 2nd deck that was applied this new finish. Or more accurately, it uses early (experiemental) Magic Finish.

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. :(

The Gold Arcane deck was the first Magic Finish deck.  At the time the finish was called Performance Coating and E liked that name so much that they kept it after USPC changed the name and started calling it Magic Finish.  The Gold Arcanes were the "beta test" deck to see how the finish performed.  The rest is history...

According to Russel, the Brimstone deck was the first deck on the market to use magic finish.

The first deck to use the magic finish was the Gold Arcanes. The first deck to state it on the box was Russel's Brimstone's.

Technically, Gold Arcanes never made it to market - E never sold them, just gave them as premiums.  And the Gargoyles were on the market earlier than Brimstones, yes?  But, as you stated, they didn't indicate on the box that they had Magic Finish or any other kind of finish, so I guess Russ' deck was first.

Ehhhh, I think I will pass.  If the card backs are the same as the front of the card box.  Its not my style.  Unless this is the whole point of the April fools deck.  To have an ugly box and then have totally stunning cards inside.  Thats just my honest opinion.

The only reason I'm getting one is because I plan on picking up the variety package or whatever it is. The teaser aren't that great but who knows whats on the inside!! I also am glad that it is fully custom so I guess it's a plus getting it in the combo package.

Those look neat, but I think something about these cards will be innovative or weird.

This is just my opinion, but that is one ugly box! Its not visually appealing at all!

Other news about this deck is that, "The USPC has finished printing the April Fools Deck and they are ready to ship. They printed a little more than what we had originally ordered but still under 3000 decks. We won't make these again either. Hope you all have fun with them!" - De'vo

Hey, what was that supposed to mean? Are you a native english speaker?
I personally will get 1 just for the purpose of collection, and maybe a second one if they handle great. I find the box very eerie. Too much in my opinion. JMO

As many. You guys know, I LOVE quirky decks. Art is the biggest factor for me, ad with such great handling this deck is a must get for me. I plan on getting a few for personal use. I just hope this deck isn't all hype, and actually brings something new to the table.

A four color back seems pretty nice too, since my deck that has the most color on the back is probably my red artifice, and I like colorful things that will catch my eyes during fans.
I LIKE MAILBOXES!

Oh boy, can of worms... I'm not guna get into the whole story but the basics are.... Devo's been around for years in the card manipulation field and was part of the movement that separated card manipulation from Magic and One of the founders of XCM... xtreme card manipulation. This was years before the term Cardistry appeared  there's also copyright issues which I'm not going into here! but that's the basics
