...and the point I made about trusting a designer's review of his own deck still holds. The list is HIGHLY subjective, and for better or worse, I own some of the very decks I listed. But it's no more or less subjective than a designer's thoughts about his own little 56-cards-and-a-box work of art.
I never objected against the statement about a designer's review on his own product. Though what could he say otherwise? Put down his own deck and ask everyone not to get it? He's just trying to make his product sell better (though I'm sure it will without his own review).
It's rather disingenuous to call it a review. It's an ad.
