Another New Deck - Green Phoenix

[vmagic]

Just got an email this morning from card-shark.de and they have a new deck out now - the Green Phoenix Deck.



Celebrate our first release of our Phoenix Deck brand in an odd colour.

With a great contrasting green back design and the regular Phoenix face with all the hidden features of Phoenix you will receive a first class deck in highest US Playing Card Quality. The deck is not marked but has a oneway design on the backs and faces like all decks of the Phoenix brand, making this the perfect choice for magicians.

As this is only a limited run and therefore the price per deck has to be higher, we decided to offer you a volume pricing, the more you order, the less you pay per deck!

Get them now before they sell quickly, only 3000 decks printed!

If only they could post picture of the deck.

Why is a one way back perfect for magicians again? Could have sworn it was the opposite...oh well

These look just OK in my opinion. Nothing more. I find the green too pale. I will be getting one, but just one, no more.

Haha! An auction for an unseen deck with a "picture" from what appears to be movie quotes. Somethings isn't right...obviously!

And I thought the blue one was "pale". I'm going to wait to see what these look like. I have a feeling the color might be something close to key lime green...a color that I'm not very fond of.

Well quite obviously I have failed as a business person. If that deck is on eBay at $124 each, with a run of 3000, that means that I should have sold each Tendril deck for $74.40.

Man, what a moron I am. I could have made over $370,000 of that one run! I am so fail.

I see no standard aces this time around but the double backer is a nice addition.

An obvious, easily-spotted one-way back, bad.
A subtle, easy-to-read, hard-to-chance-upon one-way back, good.


The Phoenix design employs the subtle version.  It's also located at the cards' side edges, making it easy to see in a spread or a fan.


I'm a fan of Phoenix decks, but I'm still wrapping my head around this one.  I might pass.
