I can also attest to the fact that they have hit upon a great combination here. Their latest products are extremely good, with some facets that (unfortunately) USPCC has not been able to reach yet. The art registration and edge quality is simply superb, there is no other way to state it. I riffled through an Exquisite and the art does not move at all. Not a hair. It is the way it should be, frankly, and very refreshing. Compared to my latest Deco deck, it's disheartening as a designer to look at them side by side.
While I'm not an expert cardist the handling on the latest decks is extremely good IMO. While the cards feel a little different from my USPCC decks, I think they are the equal in cut-ability, fan-ability and stock snappiness. (As an aside, I compared a 54-card stack of Exquisite to my of Bee Casino Deco and Deco is 3 cards thicker.) I'm very impressed on the whole.
As Chris said, the new pack jackets are very nice. While not a true card clip in the sense that it will squeeze your cards flat, if you are looking for a slim way to put a deck in your pocket and keep it flawless, you really can't beat them. The material feels great to the hand and is seriously strong. I tried to rip an edge and couldn't.
I know that CARC is somewhat of a smaller player compared to the hype-machines of T11 and D&D but Conjuring Arts are exploring new things and I find that very exciting. I'm considerably more jazzed about this stuff than something like the "nice but predictable" releases like a new JAQK color.
