I don't like the full bleed aspects on the back and the aces are pretty lackluster but other than that it's not bad. IDK... as unique and different as all CPC decks are they have a weird way of all looking somewhat alike to me for some unknown reason. For $11 I'll have to think about this one.

At least each card is 'aged' uniquely, not the same like someone's Lightning deck (Bocobo?).
Move on, nothing to see here.

I actually kinda like pretty much everything about this deck. The tuck is kinda nice, the back is kinda nice, the ageing effect is kinda nice, the larged out courts are kinda nice although standard. The aces are really nice.

Only problem: Kinda nice won't cut it anymore. I might get one someday. Maybebaby.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Alright. Alright. Alright! I'm getting this deck. Tuck looks nicely designed with not too little and not too much detail. It has a big Bicycle logo. Standard courts but the aged look is cool and still playable. Back design gets a pass. This is one of those good 8 out of 40 decks they put out.

Has there ever been a CPC deck that hasn't ever not been made? They fund most of the time and if not, the deck is still created afterwards.
