honestly it ended up being a bit too daunting for me to try and figure out which decks I bought this year actually came out this year (I started collecting back in March 2012, so every deck I own I bought this year). Seemed like more effort than I was willing to put in. I did have some ideas on what to vote for some categories but ended up not doing it. I think alex's idea for a poll in each category would see a lot more votes turn out. Say 5-6 decks for 4-5 categories or something like that, and maybe the option to "write-in" a deck if it wasn't included in the poll.

anyone have information on a specific or near-specific release date? I need to save up some money either way but it would be nice to know

I'd be willing to pay for some opened decks if you put up a list

the first two extras are not all that great. It's fairly easy to learn the pirouette from any youtube tutorial, and the rubix opener is pretty  meh. Squeeze is an excellent cut and one of my favorites, and if you aren't able to learn it from the somewhat poor tutorials online, the video will probably be able to teach you well. I was able to learn it without much difficulty from free videos, but I'm sure the video by the virts is much better for learning. Definitely worth picking up for any flourisher/cardist

here's a cool add on to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOSNzcOLNuo

I'd eat a klondike bar for one of those decks

I'm aware of that but I doubt that's the case

my order came in yesterday for 4 decks. Angel_Magic was very easy to work out an order with, and the decks were in perfect condition. Shipping was also very quick. Great seller!

ah, my mistake. still hope people post what they got itt though

I generally prefer bee stock (the casino grade kind, I know some "bee" decks use standard stock) for flourishing because it's a bit stiffer and the cards stay in packets a bit better. The deck I use more than any other for practicing flourishes and cardistry is the T11 titanium bee decks, for the reasons mentioned above. It just happened to be the deck that felt the best but I've noticed that standard bee decks usually stick together better and not bend as much as standard bicycle stock. just my opinion, but you can try it for yourself since you can get a bee deck for pretty cheap (~2 bucks from T11, ~3 bucks at any convenience store or walmart or whatever)

Standard stock works well enough though, it's not like it's a huge difference but it's noticeable enough to me that any serious cardistry practice I do is with standard bees or the titanium bee deck

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a rip off, but I can't help but think that most people are going to end up massively overpaying for a bunch of decks, and end up with 1 semi-rare deck not worth the cost. Of course they put in the picture a JN, a game of death deck, a red jaqk, etc etc, but I doubt even getting a brick would give you a decent chance at getting a rare deck, especially at only 6 bucks per deck when the DOTM club is closer to 10 bucks per deck.

"fools gold", maybe?

I...I....live in Taiwan...

You have a White Moth deck or two you are willing to give up for a small fee. 

I have 2 White Moth decks. If someone here wants one or two White Moth, I will buy the deck(s) for him and charge the actual fee that I pay. I can only do this for only one person here.


However, after comparing the prices on eBay, I don't think buying the deck via me will save much money. (the price of the deck and the local shipping fee from the seller to me is approx. $12.5 in total, and you can find it's $14.99 on eBay. I don't think there is much difference)

+6 dollars shipping for eBay, so it's actually significantly cheaper to do it the other way

I'd argue that my subtle, dry humor is often lost on people here, through no fault of my own
