Räpylätassus TOP 150 decks list

by Räpylätassu
Okay so, this is my TOP 150 decks list. To be qualifed to the list, the deck needs to be in my possesion, so I have not put any decks in the list that I will get in the future, but I don't currently have. Also different colors of the same deck are qualifed as one deck, as well as different versions if they are somewhat similar. So for example I qualify all the Seasons decks as a one deck on the list. Hive and Hive 2 are different. As I get more and more decks, I will update the list as I get them. This list is also not set in stone, my preferenceses change often. One thing that does not change is that I love great design and that is the biggest factor for me, I don't care if the deck does not handle perfectly if it does look good. Let's get to it.

I might have to make this TOP 150 soon as some really great decks do not fit here anymore... DONE.

This list used to be only for 52 card poker sized decks with traditional tuck boxes. Now I have updated the list for all of my decks, and every kind of deck is now eligble for this list.

Memento Mori will most likely end up on the list too as soon as I will update it.

I do hope that new edition has foil on the backs :) Oh and if you manage to do the velvet tuck but with silk instead of velvet I will most likely lock myself to a closet and start to scream out of the level of hype.

Will be glad to have one more deck in your list. It's honor to see our decks in top lists of our customers.
Branle... We are working on name... Almost finished but not sure yet...
Foil - yes you are right)
You got nice idea about silk, unfortunately there are no such cardboard... at least we don't know about it... however we are working on cool box... will post updates once we finish prototype

You accidentally left off your NEO: ULTRA and other Montenzi decks. Or, maybe your new NEO decks haven't arrived yet?

BTW, I do love this list. I've toyed with the idea of posting one of my own. Still not sure. But, it's a fun exercise to contemplate.

Not arrived yet, I have one Neo: Ultra (Sunset Box) coming in soon, I do not own other montenzi decks. And please, do post your own list! One fun idea could also be to post in tiers: Tier 1 (the Best of the Best) Tier 2 (Amazing decks) Tier 3 (Great decks) Tier 4 (Good decks) or something like that. That way the updating is much easier, you wouldn't have to change the numbers on all of them everytime, just slap the decks in the tiers you want.

Please also check TwoPieces TOP 75, it does not get enough attention :D

I don't have them yet. If I can get them by a trade, sure. I can get a new job, I will buy them with the first paycheck. I am getting some tax returns in early September, I am able to buy some decks then. Also Sherman is returning soon to the States and he will ship me some decks I have bought and shipped to his house in California, maybe I can afford to buy something extra of him.

Helluva list, Roope. That House of the Rising Spade - Cartomancer deck is so incredible. It tops my list as well. I was lucky enough to get my hands on Lorenzo's Gemini set as well. Those tuck boxes are so soft! Like velvet, lol.
Great list, though I think Anubis/Osiris is a tad low :D
