my lions are my practice deck.
ive had them since september, and they literally take a beating. they got wet, dropped ice cream on a few cards and i consitently drop them on my lovely floor everytime i try and do that god forsakened jackson 5. (insert long rant about how hard it is over here, specially Madonna.)
Anywho, im giving my black lions a rest. they're feeling quite soft recently actually, not as snappy, not as stiff. bad for some stuff (multi packet flourishes) , good for some stuff. (Le paull spreads, under pressure)
Lions are quite sturdy, im buying a few more of those.
Edit: note that they're the first pack of split spade lions that i bought, and im in love with em =]
