I'm so torn. I agree with the quote above. As a beginner I got such a buzz from ordering different coloured decks (my wife thought I had lost the plot - "And look at these darling - they're, like, YELLOW!") but I don't really use them as people would assume they were trick decks. I have enough trouble with people assuming I'm using trick decks even when I'm not (OK - *sometimes* I am).
There's then the argument about using them for practice decks only to keep things "fresh" but I don't even seem to bother with them for that purpose anymore and so have about 12 decks of multicoloured cards sitting doing nothing.
At least these would not look *too* suspicious as they have ordinary faces. Maybe we forget that anything apart from red or blue bikes can make us wary whereas the vast majority of the people we're performing to wouldn't think "Hey - they're not red/blue-backed bikes - what's going on?".
In terms of the money though for around the same amount you could buy a lovely gimmicked effect like "Developmental" from Magicbox, which would open up a new effect that you wouldn't achieve with a standard deck.
Still I might just buy them anyway. C.U.P.S. and all that.
