I took some pictures of my custom and regular decks the other day. Guess I'm gonna put some of my favorite ones up here to be featured.

Massa Casino Decks

Definitely one of my favorite decks. It looks damn awesome when fanning or even spreading. The case is simply beautiful with its abstract English-wallpaper style design printed in shiny gold ink. The cards scream sophistication with its golden-gilded back and classy front.

Black Tiger (Ellusionist) Deck

A pretty common deck. It is visually different from many decks sold around the island though. It is all black and the pips are white and red. Fans and spreads are nice as well. Probably the best material and finish for general XCM or magic.

Non-usual looks may cause the audience to be suspicious of the cards though.

Karnival

Mmm. Mmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

So damn lovely.

Propaganda

One of the only military style decks in circulation, the Propaganda deck by Theory 11 boasts an impressive counternance. The decks look great when spread or fanned. The cards feel abit too thin however making it harder for manipulators.

The royals are designed with the Theory 11's signature style, red and grey with darker overtones compared to USPCC's yellowish ones. The finish feels great, however the thick waxy finish on them could warp if exposed to the wrong conditions.

Bicycle Rider Backs

Who could ever forget this old gem? The classic bicycle rider back is one of the most recognisable cards in America. Its great for general manipulation as well as playing use.

One of the great loved decks of all time.

Massa Decks

Probably the most beautiful deck in the world.
I got one today and I am ecstatic about it. It handles really beautifully. The gold-gilded pattern on it is simply superb and the feeling is oh-so-heavenly.

It is currently out of production however and it is getting rarer and rarer daily. I have some that I am willing to sell however. Please contact me if anyone is interested in obtaining one for their personal collection.

"And She Was Gone"
By Ginger Foutley
from the season 3 episode

She chose to walk alone
Though others wondered why
Refused to look before her,
Kept eyes cast upwards,
Towards the sky.

She didn't have companions
No need for earthly things.
Only wanted freedom,
From what she felt were
Puppet strings.

She longed to be a bird. That she might fly away.
She pitied every blade of grass
For planted they would stay.

She longed to be a flame,
That brightly danced alone.
Felt jealous of the steam
That made the air its only home.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

Some say she wished too hard.
Some say she wished too long.
But we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone.

The trees, they say stood witness.
The sky refused to tell.
But someone who had seen it said
The story played out well.

She spread her arms out wide.
Breathed in the break of dawn.
She just let go of all she held...

And then she was gone.
