  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
I would like to see both decks printed with EPCC.

Amen to that :D

I think Erik is trying to keep fans of both USPCC and EPCC (and LPCC) happy... but unfortunately, the EPCC fans will have a limit on the number of decks they can buy.

I'd be up for a brick of the EPCC Buskers... but i doubt such a pledge option will be available.

As for the USPCC Buskers, no doubt that the design is nice... but I really would prefer the nice design on nice materials.

I'll be pledging for the highest tier where i can get only EPCC Buskers... but if each EPCC deck is bundled with a USPCC deck, then I'm out.

Um, I'm betting that if enough of you nice folks whispered in Erik Mana's ear about wanting that Exclusive deck in mass quantities, he might consider making it a larger release.  More cards to pre-sell does mean more cash lining the pockets...

Actually I will be interested to get 1 of each from USPCC and EPCC, and do side by side comparison.

To be honest I don't really understand yet why people are saying expert and legends has better finish than USPC. I have heretic and four beasts decks and I see there is a big difference on the finish when compared to any other UPSC cards.

To have buskers deck printed by both company, probably then I can do Apple to Apple comparison better.

Preferred finishes/coatings have a lot to do with who has those preferences.  It's an individual thing.

I really like the durability of expert and legends, but I do find them stiffer and requires lots more effort to spring and riffle shuffle.

However I am not sure is it because they have thicker stock than normal UPSC stocks.

Not thicker - stiffer.  There's a difference...

For the earlier decks in particular, there was a bit of a breaking-in period needed, but even out of the box they handle great in general.  They get better with age and they're highly durable - they're good "working-man's decks."

To me, the edges of EPCC/LPCC cards feel better than USPCC cards.  Also, every card is perfectly centered.  Lately, a lot of my USPCC decks have arrived with horrible registration.
