Becouse there has been threads about how many decks you have i was wondeing how long intill you need a new one.

I use cards until they aren't cards anymore...

My first deck (bicycle ghosts) lasted me about 6 months, of daily use. This was just when I was a beginner. I roughly go through a deck in 2 months now, with roughly 3 hours of use a day.

I flourish a lot and can tend to go through a deck in a week or so. That's with daily use of up to at least 2 hours.

And also I agree with Eugene.......

I use my decks so freaking quickly, about a deck every 2 days.

I go through decks like water. If I can have a spectator sign a card for an effect, I have them do it. I go through a deck about every two-three days. How long do they last? Psh... As long as I can spread 'em, they're still good.

You know when a deck is old by the edges lol i used a deck for 2 months then left it aside and then another for 3 months. The colour difference was crazy....

I feel really bad hearing all your guys' deck use hours...I don't do justice to my cards. I only use them half an hour a day because of everything else going on in my life such as AP's and state level soccer... =( I go through a deck every few months? Jeez. My vipers did last me a long time, and then when they were through six months later I used them for throwing cards (very nice !)

Well, it's different for everyone, and it really depends on what you personal preference is.

For me, I hate the feeling of and old, worn out deck, so I frequently get new cards. I would say about every 2 weeks or so, sometimes even less. It really depends.

I read in Card College that it largely depends on the hands. If the hands are dry by nature, the cards last longer. If the hands get moist and sweaty very fast, then the cards will get worn out faster. The author even says that when he was before his mid-twenties he could use 3-4 decks a week, where he now only uses 1 per month, because the natural condition of his hands changed with time.

It really depends, most decks last me about a month. Unless I've been watching the Trilogy then the time decreases quite a bit.
