After reading the posted reviews I thought I found the next "Gold Seal" deck Richard Turner sold on
his website. However, when my package arrived I opened a pack and discovered these are nothing close
to the 5-Star reviews past posters have praised.
I immediately learned these decks are not
cut in the traditional fashion and thus they do not faro easily. In fact, the halves do not weave
and when pressed together, the cards act as if they are stuck together.
I ordered these
decks from another Magic seller's site and expressed my concern the decks were not as advertised. I
received a quick reply and was informed Phoenix recently reprinted their decks.
I ordered
two decks from Penquin hoping they had a better batch; however, these decks are of the same lack of
quality than the decks reviewed on this site. The almost $6.00 cost per deck is definitely not worth
it.
If you're considering this particular deck, know as of this writing (July 1, 2023) you
will probably not receive the deck of cards the other 5-star posters are praising.
