Hey guys! I got a back in black bundle from ellusionist.com, so here's my review.
Black Ghost Second Edition
Box: When I first saw the box, I thought it looked really cool! It has the ghost ace of spades on the front, and the card back design on the back. It also has a cool jack of diamonds bar code reveal.
Look: I like the look of these cards. The backs are smoky, and a little bit mysterious. The fronts are the same as the regular ghost deck only in reverse color. All red pips have a little white outline which looks really good. The jokers are especially nice, and one of them has a jack of spades reveal on it.
Feel: To be honest, I dislike the feel of this deck. The cards clump easily, and the edges are rough. Only get this deck for the looks. The feel just doesn't do it for me.
I give these cards a 6/10
Black Tiger Deck (red pips)
Box: It's OK. It's kind of ordinary, with nothing really special about it. The only cool thing on it is the tiger on the front.
Look: These look cool! I like the fact that they're black-light sensitive. The only thing I don't like (and this is a minor dislike,) is that the look is a little bit too basic. Other than that, though, these look cool.
Feel: OK, here's where I get positive. These feel great. I don't know what it is, but I didn't have to break these cards in at all. They had smooth edges right out of the box, and they fan perfectly every time. I don't know why, but I heard that the red pip deck has the UV500 airflow finish and the white pip deck has just regular air-cushion finish. I might be wrong, though. However, the UV500 finish feels really good!
I give these cards a 9/10
Shadow Masters Deck
Box: When I first saw the box, I fell in love with it instantly. The shadow made it look so cool. Basically it has the shadow ace of spades on the front, which really got my attention.
Look: Wow. That's all I have to say. These cards look incredible in a photo, and look even more incredible in person. There is so much detail on these cards, that I just enjoy looking at them.
Feel: Another wow. I have never felt a deck that feels this good. The edges are a little rough at first, but all you need to do is break them in and they feel fantastic! The fans are perfect every time and look great because of the black. I highly recommend these cards!
I give these cards a 10/10.
Over all, I give this bundle a 9/10 (because of the black ghost deck.) I recommend it!
