$30 for a black/white back with standard faces and a boring tuck... Gilding does not make this deck that valuable...

A deck of card made for cardistry... but gilding makes it completely unusable for most cardistry.

That's what I thought, but refrained from posting, because I'm no expert cardist and would hate to be wr-wr-wr... Wr-wr-wr... Wong...serubi wrote:A deck of card made for cardistry... but gilding makes it completely unusable for most cardistry.

Don't know it's just me or some of UC members share the same feelings... When I see the phrase 'art of cardistry' I almost lost all my interest..

I'm just not interested in "cardistry" decks. I mean, the ones that are labelled as such. It's good for the industry to appeal to more customers, but when you're aiming for one facet, then you're losing a target audience.akicer wrote:Don't know it's just me or some of UC members share the same feelings...

I mean, first and foremost, playing cards were created as one of the world's first 'games'. If a deck doesn't appeal to that history then it's lost my focus. I'm all-for decks that are functional for cardistry, but ones that it's the primary target, blah...

I don't mind them being on the market, and I've even bought 1 or 2 that I felt were worth it. But even as somewhat of a cardist, I do feel like they're missing something vital. Part of what drew me to playing cards in the first place, and the reason it's such a unique type of media, is the combination of art/design and usability/playability. Very few other types of art achieves this level of functionality while still maintaining the broad design potential; from paintings hanging on the wall to that weird piece of furniture that looks nice but is rarely used.TwoPieceFeed wrote:I'm just not interested in "cardistry" decks.

"Cardistry decks" are still quite functional, but much less so (can't be played with or used for magic), and they also lose a fair amount of design elements (mainly courts).
