Trick decks in viper format

Postby archimage » Jun 7th, '07, 02:17



The thing about this that begs the question is.....Why?!

Black decks and viper decks are hard enough to pass as fair decks. There are books that address how to handle spectators to convince them otherwise. Why now would you make a deck that already looks like a trick deck into a trick deck?

talk about baffling!

Heh... I've said it before and I'll say it again. I've NEVER been called out for a black deck being a trick deck. Or a white deck for that matter. When I do memory demonstrations, I might get accused of iusing a trick RED or BLUE deck, but never have I been called out on a black deck.

Interestingly enough, to date, the only black deck I own is a Svengali deck, but I only use it to sell other Sven decks to unsuspecting little kids...

Ciao,
Rob

Because there are more than plenty of people that will buy them - it's as simple as that! :lol:

Because the person that designs trick decks is a mystery wrapped in an riddle and stuffed into an enigma.

Who knows? :D
