I thought I'd stop by and say hey. I've been a member here for a little bit and just haven't introduced myself. I started out collecting playing cards about two years ago. Then, about a year ago I got into cardistry and been pretty focused on flourishing ever since.

Guardians are one of my "go-to" decks; nice style, identical jokers, subtle one-way marking.  In an interview, Jonathan Bayme states it was the company's first deck.

The guardians are a good deck. I use them to practice new flourishes.

I used to use just the USPC version for impromptu performances, until I realized that the T11 v2 deck was the same price...  :))  Now I use either.

Welcome to the Discourse (did you know In the first sense-usage i.e. semantics and discourse analysis, the word "discourse" is studied in corpus linguistics?) It's true....
