I have a very different idea of "Insanely Awesome Decks " I guess.

Aptombstone · « **Reply #2 on:** July 07, 2014, 02:48:25 PM »

if the gold deck was made of real gold then they'd have 1 sufficient nomination

just using the term "insanely awesome" even cheapens a couple of the decks I like on that list
but it's just clickbait, i guess...

Agree, I saw this list when I first got into collecting and found just a few, even now that I'm expanding more than I thought I can say I only have 6 on this list and will NEVER want more than 10 of them. Meh and meh for the most part.

Number 26 was probably the most painful.

God, the handling....

Rob Wright · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2014, 10:31:42 PM »

Wow!
I think I have 2 or 3 of them, just 1 other I wouldn't mind having.
Not 1 of these decks would I have put on an Insanely Awesome lists.

Will W. · « **Reply #6 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:35:23 AM »

I have 5 of the 30 decks and I wouldn't label any of them awesome by no stretch of the imagination, either.

Leif · « **Reply #7 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:36:16 AM »

Ok, people, having seen that list, I can't help but thinking that we could compile a far, far more accurate list ourselves. So, what are YOUR "Insanely Awesome" decks?

That's a good idea, but I think we should make a SINGLE, overall, group approved list of "insanely awesome" decks.
Everyone can nominate decks they believe belong on the list and those (already user nominated) which they feel do not, or is that complicated?
Maybe lower the number to 10 insanely awesome "Forum Approved" decks?
This wouldn't necessarily be "Our 10 Favorite Decks" but rather decks we can agree are indeed "insanely awesome."

Sher143 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:17:54 AM »

Top three (which I nominate, if we're going that route): Venexiana Gold, Aurum Laser Cut, and the Ultimate Deck

Mydnyghte · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:23:48 AM »

I think the link is broken, I clicked it and got lied to.
Neat decks, yes. Awesome decks, no. Insanely awesome decks, ______! no.

Aptombstone · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:50:35 AM »

Might as well nominate my own: Seasons Playing Cards (if we can nominate the set, if I had to choose one, Platinum Seronda), Original Virts, and Silver Split Spades (i've only owned silver, but maybe there's a better color?)

John B. · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2014, 11:13:43 AM »

I agree with what you guys said about the decks not being that awesome. I saw it and was disappointed but felt you all need to see it. my entries in the top 10 forum approved list would be zenith. infinity (just because of the case indention thing), and I could probably think of a few others but its early here so I will come back later.

_Daniel_ · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:03:50 PM »

Only really like the look of 27 and the Harry Potter ones merely down to the nostalgia effect!

D. Dorn · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2014, 05:55:59 PM »

2 years ago, I might have agreed on some of them. I've since become much better educated. I do want to find one of those insanely hard-to-read Black on Black decks, though...and the Fraggle Rock deck is pretty cool.

Another nominee for the "real" top 30:

Uusi Pagan

Don Boyer · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:58:10 PM »

Continue making nominations. Friday I'll make a poll and we can vote on them, three votes per person.

Rob Wright · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2014, 10:24:30 PM »

Three that haven't been nominated yet I think.
No particular order

FED 52- this deck blew up KS and started a business for Jackson w/ several successful projects since.

Blue Blood- A true awesome deck from Uusi (and my white wale). Again the start of several successful projects. Wish they were doing more than 6

Curator by Emmanuel Jose- Transformation at it's best. 52 transformation with one theme. Very clever- can't wait for Sawdust & Delicious

John B. · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2014, 11:42:39 PM »

Black tiger - if just for the fact that it was one of (if not the) first legit custom decks?

DarkDerp · « **Reply #18 on:** July 09, 2014, 01:38:57 AM »

Your not a true magician until you convincingly pull off a trick including a farro shuffle and a card palm with deck #23

Quote

For my next trick ill use this ordinary deck of cards.

Leif · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2014, 09:01:24 AM »

I hope Rick's Origins will be insanely awesome. But in the meantime I have a few nominations:

Jackson mentioned some decks by an, Hungarian? artist. One of those was at the very least awesome.

Oops, I see that Emmanuel Jose and Pagan already been mentioned.

I'll update if I come up with someone else.

shadowkat · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2014, 10:56:16 AM »

I will nominate Tendril, and second the nomination for Seasons (I am partial to the V2 because I prefer silver to gold).

PurpleIce · « **Reply #21 on:** July 10, 2014, 01:25:04 AM »

I would go for aurum laser cut/deco personalised cut for tuck. Requiem and uusi blue blood for design/theme.

Keep up the nominations. I've added a few. As don said we all will get three votes on the pole, so I would say that means you can nominate more than 3.

I'd list the sets separately - Gold and Platinum. Though subtle, there are enough differences between them.

Nominate as many as you like. You'll still get just three votes, though.
