These cards are awesome and they last a really long time, I definitely recommend them.
Luke • Australia • 04/08/13
This deck is amazing! I was hesitant to open them because they look great on my shelf but I'm glad I did!
Daniel Lenton • United Kingdom • 04/08/13
Beautiful simplistic design, a great variation of the original monarchs and the handling is just brilliant. Very durable playing cards. I love them.
Chuck • Montana • 03/23/13
Gorgeous deck! I use it for a deck color change all the time. Pair it with regular Monarch's or any other deck for that matter for a great effect. They handle great and are elegant and simple.
Steve • Washington DC • 03/19/13
Very classy and very smooth cards.
Jay • Ohio • 03/17/13
Stunning black and white details. I believe these are even superior in elegance to the original Monarchs (and that, I might add, says a whole lot). Pick up some now, or later, because t11 is awesome enough to make these gems unlimited. Don't let that stop you, though. A brick of these, and you'll be entranced! No regrets.
Salim Abdul Rashid • Singapore • 03/16/13
These decks are astounding. Everything from the seal to the design screams "high quality". Best part, there's no "limited edition" nonsense so I can open as many decks as I want knowing full well that they won't be out of print anytime soon.
Get a brick. You won't regret it.
Tommy • Arizona • 03/13/13
These types of decks always live up to everyone's expectations and it's no different here! Amazing! Truly brilliant! Thank you theory11!
James Barbour • Virginia • 03/12/13
Amazing, first place! In second place are the regular monarchs!
Dylan • Canada • 02/24/13
Beautiful deck! The Quality is great! The design is elegant and pretty. I especially love the red seal on the box. Love them!
Sérgio Sousa • Portugal • 02/20/13
A deck that will live in the shadow of the White Monarchs! But in my opinion, this one is better. The combination of colors work better in this one! The quality and finish - well, it's t11 deck, it's all there!
Stephen Milano • New Mexico • 02/08/13
I really like the simple elegance of this deck. It handles, for me, smooth as butter. Another good job...
Andre Kay • Jakarta • 02/07/13
Beautiful deck. Smooth as silk with a unique design.
The Alv • Spain • 02/07/13
The one word to describe these cards is: Elegant.
In my humble opinion, they are much more so than the original Monarchs, because the backs give more the sensation on "being all-white with some markings" as opposed to "having a white border".
The box is superb, so elegant, embossed, and the red sticker is the perfect simple touch.
The Jokers are subtle and drawn in very fine golden ink. Very classy.
Definitely my new favorite go-to high-end deck.
David Beasley • Greenwood, IN • 01/28/13
The back designs of these cards are great!! Box is very elegant. Another amazing deck.
Nam • USA • 01/25/13
In my opinion, this deck is better than the Monarchs.
Yes, the new Monarchs have thinner borders but this one is amazing.
The white Monarchs are limited and rare and these resemble them so much. The only difference is they're unlimited and at a nice price.
THey feel amazing. This is a theory11 deck so you know it's going to be great. The design is elegant.
Not much I can say about these. They're just that great.
Finix chan • Malaysia • 01/20/13
The design is awesome!! I dare say that it is the world's finest playing cards!
Wyatt • Aus • 01/08/13
Probably the best edition of the Monarchs, except for the White ones. The black back design on white background looks superb.
Hong • London • 12/28/12
Beautiful deck. Worth the price. Grab it while you can.
Vivek • India • 12/17/12
Most royal deck on t11. If you couldn't get your hands on the extremely limited White Monarchs, here is your chance to lay your hands on the unlimited Silver Monarchs. Love 'em.
Anna • USA • 12/14/12
This deck is called Monarchs because they make you feel like royalty. They look great and feel great too!
David • Maryland, U.S.A. • 12/11/12
This deck is probably my second favorite deck of all time after Split Spades. First, there is the box: Wow. Coolest box in my collection, hands down. For handling, I think that this represents T11 quality with the stock that is not too thin or too thick. The slick lasts long enough before fading. For the design, I have always thought of white as a very elegant color. I was so thankful when I saw that this deck was being released in silver, as I was not able to get gold monarchs. I think that the faces go fine with the back. I am not sure why people believe otherwise. In conclusion, this deck is beast.
Jamie • USA • 12/11/12
This deck is an awesome sequel to the original monarchs. The box is simply gorgeous! The cards handle great, but it would have been cool to have something different from the usual t11 court cards.
Apple • California • 12/09/12
Very elegant. However, I think there should be a little more color. They look a bit boring.
Rich • TX • 12/09/12
These are simply stunning cards. They feel nice and handle well!
Austin • Michigan • 12/02/12
These cards are beautiful, yes. However, their performance is simply good. They are exaggerated a whole lot in these reviews. They handle well, but not quite as well as people say. The cards have a whole lot more silver on them in the pictures than they do in real life. I would, however, buy these again if I wasn't buying a different deck.
Jay Sands • UK • 12/01/12
A great and beautiful deck. It stands up to it's name.
Mr R • Portugal • 11/27/12
The box has a wonderful design on the back. These cards are luxurious and an amazing piece of art. These are the world's finest playing cards.
Wen Loong • Malaysia • 11/19/12
These cards really look like the rare White Monarchs. Amazing deck of cards.
Daniel • Sweden • 11/19/12
These cards are very good. I love the handling, design and box. I wish I could get the White Monarchs too.
Pain • Australia • 11/17/12
Awesome deck of cards that handles amazingly. Love the design on the box.
Craig • Melbourne • 11/12/12
Such a sweet deck. I think they'll never see a performance for fear of dirtying those pristine white edges.
Such beautiful handling and the box is so nicely embossed. I think T11 should have invested in a gold or white seal, the red stands out too much.
Metis • Portugal • 11/11/12
This is the best deck ever made. The cards handle very well, they have a great stock and finish. Awesome design in the box and in the cards too.
Patto • Portugal • 11/08/12
These cards are the best cards ever. The box is amazing too. It's a great piece of art!
HL • Tokyo • 10/31/12
Monarch series are the best designed decks ever! The tuck box is awesome. The theme of the deck reminds me of the middle-earth. I'm really glad that T11 released the Silver Monarch because this will let me use the decks in everyday situations without worrying that they would sell out like the white ones.
Luke • GA • 10/27/12
THE best deck of cards I have ever handled. I was so sad I missed my chance to get White Monarchs, but I like these better! So I got 13. ;D
Hanif • Kuala Lumpur • 10/21/12
The handing of this deck is amazing. It's been a month now and it still handles great. The design is stunning. Now I have to order more for my poker friends. Damn it!
Brandon • Canada • 10/20/12
An amazing deck - beautifully detailed. If you enjoyed the detail of the limited edition Monarchs, then it's almost a crime to call the Silver Edition unlimited. These cards are a perfect companion to their golden brothers and a must have for any card collector. They also fan and spread wonderfully and are an excellent addition to any magician or card sharp's decks. Very pleased with this deck.
Harry • GB • 10/19/12
This deck is one of the best handling decks on the market to date. This is because theory11 has used as least amount of ink as possible on the back design. Even though they have not used a lot of ink, the back design is still beautiful and elegant. My only criticism about this deck is that the red seal does not match much the white and silver box but still - 5 stars!
Bryan C. • Sydney • 10/17/12
Such an underrated, beautiful deck. The silver ink matches the simple pattern design well and it just accentuates the deck's timeless appeal. I have found that adult audiences actually prefer this sort of design and this really helps with one's presentation. A must have!
Wei • NYC • 10/16/12
When I saw the pic of these posted on facebook, I knew I had to get these. I passed on the regular Monarch because I felt the color of the back didn't match the box, but the handling was great. Now the silver monarch is exactly what I was looking for! Great cards to practice and perform.
Jamie • Seattle • 10/14/12
A great deck!! I wish the faces were custom but this deck still amazes me in the quality and design department, recommended!
Brian • USA • 10/14/12
Awesome deck! Just don't try to peel off the seal. It will make your beautiful white box look like somebody sneezed on it.
Noah • Indiana, USA • 10/11/12
I was dissapointed that the faces of these cards did not change. The golden faces from the original Monarchs does not go well with the silver that these cards are accented with.
James • Australia • 10/11/12
This beautiful counterpart to the original Monarchs has elegant and smooth aesthetics accompanied by exceptional, balanced handling. My favourite deck, draped in white.
FluffyKitten • NYC • 10/08/12
I heard so much about this deck, I had to buy it. The box is metallic and embossed with silver foil. I was disappointed that the cards themselves feather and the regular faces. Plus no metallic inks on the backs.
Maren • Miami • 10/07/12
I love these cards as they handle incredibly due to the lack of ink on the back. My one complaint is that the faces and colors just don't feel like they match the back. They've also become my main performing deck and people will actually compliment me on them. If you don't have some I would really suggest it.
Keegan • Singapore • 10/07/12
I saw them and I was in utter disbelief! This is why theory11 triumphs every other magic site. It's because they truly care about their customers. You have no idea how upset I was when I missed my shot to get the white monarchs. But this definitely makes up for it. Just bought 6 of them! Money well spent :D
Baden.J • Europe • 09/28/12
These cards handle amazingly and the box is so detailed!
J.W. • New York • 09/26/12
I remember the amount of time and effort I put into trying to get the White Monarchs, and I almost lost hope in T11. I believe, however, they have not only absolutely redeemed themselves, but raised the bar. These are so elegant, and because of the low amount of ink, they don't clump up. This deck handles and looks suave as hell, and I abolutely love it.
Hunter • New York • 09/26/12
If you liked White Monarchs, you'll love these! I'm a big fan of white decks and this is the first time I've seen silver foiling on a white deck. It's beautiful.
azzkikncardz • Philippines • 09/24/12
"The World’s Finest Playing Cards” is an understatement. A must have. :)
Boris Stainoff • NYC • 09/23/12
"The beauty, elegance, and regal quality of Monarchs. An instant masterpiece. Now available in unlimited silver edition." Well Said. Beautiful Deck!
Jackson • Earth • 09/22/12
These are even better than the White Monarchs!!
Nathan Tomkins • England • 09/22/12
These cards are amazing. They are so smooth in my hands. If you dont have a deck of these, buy one now, or maybe two.
Aaron Lam • California • 09/22/12
I missed the White Monarchs and was excited when these came out. I ordered two right away and was not disappointed.
Arman • United States • 09/22/12
These cards are seriously awesome! I think it's great that Theory11 is trying really hard to make sure every customer is happy and the Silver Monarchs are just that. If you missed out on the original White Monarchs, these are definitely a great alternative. With very little ink on the backs of the cards, the deck handles very smoothly and fans like a dream. It also looks elegant and sleek which looks great! This deck along side with the original Monarchs could be combined to create an awesome color changing deck! Overall, you should get it!
Jessica • Dennison, OH • 09/21/12
Awesome is what I want to say.
Johnny B. • Athens • 09/21/12
With this deck you can easily complete the trilogy of White-Blue-Silver Monarch decks. A combination that ROCKS in every case! Just Perfect!
Bee • USA • 09/21/12
Just beautiful. Both in looks and handling.
trideag • California • 09/21/12
Just got these in the mail. Seriously, T11 takes care of their fans/customers like none other. If you missed out on the White Monarchs - this is your moment to get what I think to be their equal and at a fraction of what if would cost you to acquire the White version somewhere else. I have a few White Monarchs and love these just the same. Beautiful cards, amazing price and handle like all T11 decks do... PERFECT.
Eric Stevens • Spokane, WA • 09/16/12
As stated by Walter, these are indeed the purest cards I've ever owned. Though the box design displays some slight differences from the original Monarchs, they only add to the beauty, not take away. They feel so smooth and clean that I'm almost afraid to use them. HOWEVER, they WILL be used, so thanks t11. Buy now.
Jonathan Lewis • Barrington, Rhode Island • 09/12/12
These are amazing and extremely well crafted with endless possibilities. It's by far my top three most favorite decks of all time.
Lewis • Scotland • 09/10/12
They look amazing.
Walter White • New Mexico • 09/06/12
This are the purest playing cards I've ever came across, and trust me I know pure.
Simon • Chicago, IL • 09/03/12
Beautiful! So elegant, simple, and sleek. I was only able to get ONE deck of the Gold Monarchs, so when I heard about this new Silver Edition, I nearly fell out of my seat!
They look incredible. The silver foil accents the pure white stock, and I think the black and white back design is stunning. Five stars from me!
Daryl Chew • Singapore • 09/02/12
Even I don't own this deck but I can tell it's going be awesome. Good job.
A. Divico • Italy • 09/01/12
Wonderful!
