About last week i bought a few decks from theroy11(Sentinels,monarchs, artisans) a few day after they arrived all of them got warped. i saw online a few methods of unwarping cards such as the fridge method but that didn't work. I found the front to back faro method and that worked really good but again the decks got warped (i store them in a cool dry place) The faro method works good but since i have alot of decks it gets very tedious. I really don't want to spend money to stop the warp (like clips and stuff) and textbooks didn't work. so if anyone has a quick simple way to unwarp cards that does not ruin decks and does not cost money can u please respond.

Cards warp, it's not unusual. Depending on where you live, it may be unavoidable. High humidity areas and/or high heat areas just warp cards. If you're not going to spend money, there's not a lot you can do that you haven't already seemed to have done.
You can often find those silica packets when you buy electronics or leather. They pull the moisture out of the air. Rice can do the same thing, but you'd have to store the decks completely covered in rice, which is not practical. Otherwise you need to store them under a lot of heavy flat things.

I live in a hot, humid area too. I used to stack heavy book and bricks on them, but that got annoying. I still find it best to turn half the deck face down, do faros, riffles, spring, le paul spreads etc, anything that will bend the cards a bit. Eventually they'll straighten out.
Reverse one half, perfect faro, then stack stuff. It is tedious, but living in Houston means this problem happens for me pretty often. I usually just wait until I have a couple of warped decks and do this to all of them at once. leave them for a few days, and they are fine.
You can get large bags of silica gel for less than £7 on Amazon in the UK, not sure about elsewhere, but they work a treat. Prevention rather than cure is always a better way (I know it's a bit late).
I agree. But alas, we often don't know the environment will warp cards until we go to pick up the deck and find it warped.
