Well, first of all the pictures appear slightly more orange than the cards themselves...they are an impressive red.

At first they felt stiff and heavy but I was soon able to adjust after using thin crushed stock in my elites. The design is quite well executed, and apart from the stunning backs, everyone seems to appreciate the traditional faces.

I only have four of the black and gold version of these, and hope to get more, along with a few more reds. They are my go-to decks when at the community halls, and they are robust enough to last through a heavy evening.

I only wish they came with a double backer.
