So MPC is back to their old handling decks? They certainly look like throwaway coasters.

Will be curious to see just what finish they plan to use with the recycled card stock.

Now live.
The courts seem pretty interesting, but I think it will be a pass for me this time.
I am trying to be more selective nowadays.

To align with MPC’s aim in reducing their carbon footprint, to use more environmentally friendly paper stock, with this deck, we introduce to you a new card stock which is made from more sustainable sources. This new card stock is called E27 Eco-Herbage and is made from grass and the leafy part of plants. The paper contains a natural brown tint to it with clearly visible fibers.
...
A perfect blend of water-based finishing is applied to the cards to ensure 3 things - that it brings out the artwork, it protects the artwork from friction and that the cards handle smoothly.
...
What’s more, the tuck box is created from the same sustainable card stock material, which for name sake is called the T27 which you can find on our MPC website when creating your own decks

blah blah blah green, climate, save the earth, whatever. i could care less about all that. $16 is too expensive for this deck period.

16 bucks for a custom drawn deck isn’t bad for me.

Yeah, while the artwork isn't for me it is clear a lot of work went into this deck. T11 aside, you can't get a fully custom deck for less than $15 these days anyway.

I follow STL's shining example and reduce my environmental footprint on this campaign to zero emission. Glad I could help; thank me later @MPC.

These fan and shuffle much better than I expected - the cards are also lighter than a regular deck

I really like the rustic, distressed look of the cards.

hsbc's photos paired with SoCal offers should be banned!

I have these cards too. They're really nice. MPC truly did a great job with these. Top to bottom it's a great deck. They handle surprisingly well too as hsbc had said.

I'm a big fan of the paper type for this deck
Re: Castle Playing Cards (w/ new E27 stock) by MPC [KS April 26 2022]

Agreed. I found the paper type to be perfect for this deck and gives it an aged feel.
