Both. If it were gameplay, I'd be all-in on the players. Art, all-in on the prints.
For me, it's always been about both. Bicycles and framed paintings do just fine on their own, but custom cards are playable, usable beauty we can interact with in ways that we don't with others artistic mediums and that strikes a much deeper chord than a single-faceted trinket.

In terms of quality and handling, WJPC is now third after USPCC and Cartamundi. Chinese printed EPCC decks are much worse and look so cheap!
COULD NOT AGREE MORE ABOUT EPCC. The look is fine to my eyes, but the handling leaves MUCH to be desired.
Anyway, most of you are buying Lotrek, and you know that his deck's handling even worse than NPCC. So what is the reason for all this "I-need-good-handling" drama?
Trust me, in a blind test, any recent WJPC deck is almost USPCC quality.
lol I remember the first time I unwrapped a Lotrek deck, I seriously thought the seller had sold me a knock-off version. If you go back through my post history, I'm pretty sure I posted on the Arabesque thread asking if the deck was plastic
But I disagree on WJPC vs USPCC handling. I perform magic, so on the off-chance you don't, maybe we have different priorities with regards to how a deck handles, but it's night and day to me. With different printers, I always play with riffle shuffles, passes, table cuts and deals to see if it holds up to USPCC and WJPC has not for me. It could be that I learned all my stuff playing with bikes and bees and that my fingers are touch-sensitive to those, but WJPC it just doesn't cut it imo.
