Purple Wynns?

I noticed that not too long ago an individual held a charity water contest for a purple Wynns deck. Is there something special about it? Is it rare or valuable? What about other Wynns colors such as green or black. I know that the brown edition is valuable in the card collecting community, I just wanted to know because I saw some at my local magic shop and am debating if it is worth adding to my collection or not.
Thanks for any info you have,
-Bryant

There were (to my knowledge) a total of 3 colors of the Wynn deck that were legitimately printed - Red, Blue (Purple), and Brown. The Red and Blue versions were the more common, easier to find versions. Brown was harder to find, and theory11 picked up a large lot of them and offered them here. The Purple version is called Blue by some people, Violet by others, Purple by others, but those are the same decks.

The Common Colors

Beyond these two colors, and the Brown version, there aren't legitimate other colors in this design that I am aware of. I have seen Green in fakes, and I have seen Black in fakes. I do believe that other colors exist in the newer designs, but not in this older design.

Wynns were once thought by some people to be the next Jerry's Nugget deck. The bright, solid color with a simple logo makes sense for that, these cards look great for flourishing. They also handle well. That said, there isn't so much more than that. They aren't super unique, they are really just above average. They were also discontinued, and were harder to obtain than many decks.

I hope this helps!

I figured I'd buy a black deck just for fun. The print date says May 18 06. The cards feel good (not like a knockoff), the design is sharp (no ink smudges or misalignment), and it handles well. If it is a fake I must say it is THE best fake ever! Very interesting to say the least. Thanks for the help!
