I first got into magic after buying a simple red Bicycle from my local Target. I collect cards based on four (but usually two) key aspects. Here is what I look for in a deck of cards:
1. Handling: Since I practice some simple cardistry to enhance my magic routines, cards that spread well and handle nicely are a must
2. Aesthetics: While this is heavily based on personal opinion I believe that the deck you use builds on your performance and can tell others a little about yourself.
Less important and more of a personal opinion:
3. Price: For certain tricks (that involve making your own gaffed cards) I prefer the cheapest deck out there (Rider Backs), For other (non-gimmicked) routines I prefer fancy designer cards (for the reasons above).
4. Collectors Value: As a collector I like to own rare decks to use on special occasions or just for collecting. If there are unique aspects of a certain deck I am usually interested in at least looking at it.
I wanted what you look for and/or what are your top ten favorites.
