UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Let's play pretend.

You have unlimited financial resources. You're the last playing card collector on Earth. You own every deck that's ever been printed. Your collection starts on fire, and for whatever reason, you only have the time to save ONE deck. The financial value means nothing.

What is the 1 deck that you save?

Right now it would be a toss up between Golden Oath, Nouveau Perle, Omnia Suprema, or one of the Turnstile Alice in Wonderlands (what? I love them!), which ever is within reach.

In a couple of months it'll be my Grid Series Three First Backer Edition

Gemini Noctis.

Kinda the one I was thinking.

This and the Heretic deck I don't have just yet.

Gemini Experimental, the one received so dearly.

Lorenzo’s HoTRS although Noctis and Arabesque come close joint second.

No.17 Crown Edition

Gatekeeper #1.

Gemini Noctis or Heretic Noctis? The argument can be made for either, I think.

I didn't realise the Gemini Noctis was so desirable, mine certainly didn't come to mind right away. For me it's between Arabesque and HotRS Cartomancer in essentially a dead tie.

Everything about the deck is elegant. The touch of foil on the back, the courts, and especially the pips.

It's received the most compliments of any deck I've played poker/cards with among non-collectors.

Heretic Noctis for me.

In this scenario I would have already obtained my White Whale: Arabesque. That's the one I'd keep, though it would pain me to lose my House of the Rising Spade set and my Anubis/Osiris, among others.

Tough. Think I’d go with Uusi Pagan. Which is probably my favorite deck of all time.

Honorable mentions: federal 52 silver, HotRS gatekeeper and one I’m about to review shortly which I think you guys will love

I think I would take my NPCCD 2018 deck.

at the moment i would go with my dinged manifesto deck by uncommon beat as it would also provide some reading material .....

I'm gonna go with Aurum by Paul

My sentimental choice would be my beat up gilded green Alladin deck. I bought it in Thailand while in college back in '89 because it was printed in my hometown of Cincinnati.

My artistic choice would be House of the Rising Spade.

In the end, sentiment would win out over art appreciation.

My N. Silva Christmas deck would be the first I'd chuck on the blaze to keep me warm.

As a fellow Cincinnatian, please allow me to greet you in the traditional manner:

What high school did you go to?

I would save my Prism Night deck. Not the best deck ever, but it is the deck my daughter got for me as a gift.

Loveland-Hurst. How about you? And: Skyline or Gold Star?

Loveland?! Man, Loveland ain't Cincy.

Walnut Hills and Skyline, respectively.

Yeah, but when you live in Loveland, you spend all your time in Cincy.

Easy pic - Fontaine x Ripndips.

The infantile humor of the cards and the ad card with "Get a job! there is no money in flipping cards!" would make me smile every time and would help me to cope with the loss of all the other great decks.

My psychologist would agree. But the best part of being insane - you don't f**king care!
