Hey guys, I just got my SS from T11 in the mail today, and I've had the chance to play around with them, so here are my thoughts.
Backs
They are very... busy. Maybe a bit too busy for my tastes, but I'm not complaining. There are subtle differences between Lions and the original SS, which include a more detailed lion and the absence of a border around the design.
4/5
Faces
The majority of the court cards are modeled after people in David's life, including himself. his girlfriend, and his mom. I'm not sure who the others are. The redesigned Ace of Spades is very nice looking, and the image inside the spade is both a women and a lion. Check out the product page for a picture. I received a blue deck, so it came with a card that has the back on one side and the box image on the other. I'm trying to figure out an effect I can do with it. Hmm...
5/5
Handling
Cardistry
The cards are a bit slippery at first, but very soft. You barely have to break them in. Nice...
They hold together fairly well, and fans and spreads are nice. No visible clumping yet. They faro very well out of the box, as well.
4/5
Magic
Oooo. The cards are very very thin, so they are ideal for magic. DLs look great, and I've been able to perform all of my favorites without mishap.
Overall
I like these cards very much. They are a bit pricey, but if the price drops after the official release I'll definitely pick up a few more. Overall, these are great cards. Good work David.
