I got the email newsletter that Ellusionist sends out and they had a picture of their new Arcane deck which in and of itself is pretty sweet looking but I am really intrigued by the statement about being a new type of card stock and/or finish.
Team Ellusionist on September 14th, 2009 4:44 pm No. This deck is printed on a special stock. We worked with USPC and imported one of the finest stocks they were able to find on the market. The USPC press foreman claimed that it was superior to Aristocrat, Bee, and Casino grade stocks offered at US Playing Card. We affectionately call it the “Aurora” stock. Not available anywhere else in the world. The look, feel, glide, spring, toughness and elegance of this stock is unprecedented. Click here to view attached image. |

I got to see some really good pictures of these...and they look pretty good! I going to pick up a few decks of these for sure. The only thing is, its a white and black deck, which is not bad but..

Yea I probably will get one maybe just for my collection but cant see using them regularly. I wonder if the "special stock" means more $

I've been privy to behind the scenes on this deck for about a year now. Artwork is awesome, but then I'm a designer so I go for stuff like that. Really nice job by the guys designing it. Had not heard about this special stock but whatever. I'll be picking some up purely cos' I collect cards...have never really figured out why...ha.
As for the price, as far as I know they'll be around the same price as all the others E sells...but again, I do not know and I also never look at prices when I buy stuff as I make a pretty good living and if I want something I just go ahead and buy it. Well...if my girlfriend hasn't got to the account before me of course. Stéph |

I got see and play with these cards. They handle pretty nicee, and the jokers are sick! There are 1 or 2 things I don't like with the deck, but overall I will pick up one of each!
(Like the whites better!) |

They look and feel awesome, my only issue is people asking me if they are regular cards.

Here is a photo of my white ones
The flourish is 3P by Jonas Haglund. The cards handle pretty well to be honest, I'm still in the process of breaking them in though... So far so good. |

If I buy them it will be only for my collection. Personally I don't like to use this kind of black/white cards. Just don't seems natural.

I love the way these look. Well done, Ellusionist.

For those of you who are interested, we published a podcast interview with General Manager Jason Brumbalow, who talked at length about the development of the cards, from a midnight sketch five years ago to Brumbalow watching several unfit decks get destroyed at USPC. He answers some questions about the card stock (although they are not very pointed questions -- the interviewer was WAY too biased, in my opinion) and tells you all you wanted to know about dot gain and ink saturation. Fun times!
Anyway, the podcast is right here.
