Just a preliminary note.
I've got one of every deck of cards Ellusionist carries. I've got a deck of Guardians. And I've got a couple commodity decks from local stores. I'm awaiting the delivery of one last deck, a pack of Aviators (spent two hours driving all over creation before just ordering over the internet from a place in North Carolina), so I can sit down and compare all of them side by side - thirteen decks in all.
Currently, I'm most impressed by the Guardians. I've been left rather cold by E's Bicycle Masters, even the Shadow Masters... but the vintage 1800s have a surprisingly distinct feel. I'm not really sure how much I like them yet. Or, indeed, if I like them. They're more weird than anything right now.
I'm going to spend some more time with these decks before I post complete reviews. I expect to have the Aviators by the end of the week.
