Default Karnival Decks are In!

Hello Everyone,

We just received our order of Bicycle : Karnival playing cards in today. I briefly touched base with these cards and here are my observing:



Pros
  • Detailed backs
  • Detailed jokers & ace of spade
  • Subtle one-way back design
  • Great air-cushion finish which works fantastically for fans
  • Solid stock
  • Display of "7 of spades" integrated within the barcode
  • Fantastic price!
Cons
  • Cards feel very similar to standard bikes but with a little thicker stock
  • The cards are white, they seem to get dirty quickly, even with the cleanest of hands.
  • Standard faces on all cards. The style of the face/stock cards never changed, same color scheme and same style.
Price: $6.99 - MSRP - $7.99
Quality:7/10
Style:Death
Color:White/Black

My only large observation was that after handling this deck after some time the back of the cards sometimes looked similar to clubs/spade cards and almost confused me.

However these are fantastic cards and at a very competitive price. I will be shipping two of these decks off to Lyle for a video review, as well as myself creating one.

So keep your eyes peeled folks, they will be up in the ExoMagic shop in no time! Once we have out shipping-calculator situated out we will be in business!
