As much as KWP likes to use EPCC, these cards do not look like they'll handle (and they don't irl anyways). Massive let-down since every higher tier deck gets this EPCC treatment. It feels like laminated cardboard.

Yeah, they were sort of clumpy when I fanned them :?

But that's exactly what the deck is, isn't it? Pieces of fancy cardboard laminated with holo foil? :lol:

However I do believe what JR is doing with EPCC's foil is still relatively new. Here's hoping that EPCC and JR can find a finish which goes well with the stock and foil that'll make future decks glide better.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do recall JR saying something about the handling when he released the LT 2 decks. Anyone know if JR is actually looking into improving the finish to go with the foil?

I got the standard deck In the mail the other day, ill say this they look nice.... that's about it lol I'm far from knowing how to handle cards but just the way they felt in my hands seemed kinda cheap? I guess I'll say that but they look nice😂
