Playing Card Designs - What do YOU Like?

[Bryant_Tsu]

Today I was looking over my collection and noticed that most of my decks have intricate designs. I guess as a collector, cardist, and magician I prefer intricate designs. There are some common design aspects in card backs: intricate designs and simple designs, line art and geometric art, polychrome and monochrome. What design combinations appeal to you?

As far as aesthetic goes; the less crazy and intricate, the better.

I prefer to use Bicycle blanks.

Intricate Designs, Symbolism, "Mystical", Whimsical.. more on that line. i live for when the faces have been altered and it;s not just the standard "Bicycle Faces,Pips etc" colors: Purples, Black,Grey's, Darker Greens,Teals, Pinks..

I like it when the face cards aren't the standard ones. So decks where only the AoS is custom are usually a slight disappointment.

Standard faces is a must for me. beyond that i generally prefer solid colors and less intricate designs. And borders, borders are important.
