I find that it would be in Theory 11's best interest to produce various color versions of their custom decks. As a professional performer, one thing that I want in my show is consistency. I do not want to be showing three or four different backed decks to my audience throughout a single table show, and because of this, I am very limited to the cards I use when I perform.
Because I perform effects such as Chicago Opener, color changing deck, Malone meets Marlo, etc... I am required to use decks of different color, but which have identical faces. Now the Bee Stingers have identical faces to the Cents and Guards (AoSpades and jokers aside), but that leaves a Black / Black situation and I want to avoid that.
I quite like the new faces/ pips/ court cards on the Sentinels, and would love to perform with them, but again, there are no decks that match the faces, thus I will never use them in my close up show (a pity).
As the decks stand now at T11, I feel that the T11 decks will never truly be able to break into the professional set unless some red / blue decks hit the market. Or perhaps with the Sentinels, a goldish colored back Sentinel could work quite well. If those were available, I would definitely opt to use them in my close up show.
But again right now, they will remain a practice deck and I believe that is a hurdle/ wall/ obstacle that T11 has created for itself.
