RS has been doing some great decks in the last year. As long as they do not bomb the cards I am sure I will be in for it. I am happy to see another premium deck by them.
It is a bit overlapping as I have not recieved the 666 decks yet, but I have no reason to distrust RS or the campaign on this.

I wouldn't call sweet baby cheezos yet, but definitely the best Riffle Shuffle deck yet. Price and features are great. Artwork could be a little more intricate instead of the modern, less detailed look but that's subjective.
Even though they could have gone a bit more deep on the design of the court cards but still a top job. I think this is what everyone expects from T11 but it never happens. Now, others have started taking the inspiration from t11 tuckboxes while giving the cards a better custom design depth. Kudos to Kevin and Riffle Shuffle team.
I have to say that the more I look at that weathered tuck box, the more I feel the urge to get it. Has someone used such raw, uneven, card board before for a tuck box? Looks pretty unique.
How did I miss this? I see the name Riffle Shuffle everywhere and I hadn't realised they were actually a quality producer. Will have to keep an eye out in future.
I actually really like the "blue" tuckcase for the modern version. It's a super dark navy blue, very similar to the blue monarchs in that it's basically black in any lighting condition other than but bright white light. The weathered version is really awesome too with the texture. If Riffle Shuffle is the fast food company of playing cards, this one at least an Olive Garden or better, maybe even like a Cheesecake Factory.
The tucks are magical for these two decks. I personally just felt that the cute baby blue of the modern edition contrasts with the tuck in a strange way, I was indeed expecting it to be like that. but I think it's just the brightness vs the darkness of the tuck. Still real pretty overall.

We live to die or rather we are dying to live.
At first I lumped this company together with the likes of Bocopo or Elite, but not any more. Now they are really growing on me with their premium decks. T11 would have done these for $9.95 though. Their pricing themselves at Art of Play level but they're not quite there yet. But they are on their way. The 666 deck is amazing.
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
