There's plenty of room for a Best Poker Deck award once we dump one of the MANY cardistry categories!

Tbh, a lot of "best" decks aren't necessarily very good for playing with. Heretic (which won last year), comes to mind. I suggested it, as might be a nice way to recognize decks that may have sacrificed some artistry for playability. *shrugs*montecarlojoe wrote:When 95% are playable poker decks it kinda seems redundant...
I agree. There are very few decks on the current US market (that most of use collect anyway) that you cannot play poker with. In fact, unless you're buying a deck for play in another country OR a tarot deck, what's the purpose of buying a deck you can't play poker with? IMHO don't like that category AT ALL as it barely, if at all, limits the amount of decks that could be voted for. Seems awfully redundant to me.sinjin7 wrote:To me, it seems the most "playable" decks are decks with standard courts and pips just because they're the most recognizable.
And what exactly would be non-poker decks? It would appear only tarot decks would qualify, and how many of those come out in any given year? Even the Heckadeck, as odd as it is, can actually be used for poker.

As before, I won't be confirming each vote that I receive, only punting them into my secondary Inbox folder named "2016DechOfTheYear". I don't vote, so I do go through them looking for anything that might require us to DQ your vote(s) for one or more category, and notify you if I see something.montecarlojoe wrote:Voting is now open - voting closes midnight on Feb 18th.
Good luck everyone!
