ps im new to magic and this forum

Hey, you might want to swing over to the introduction forum to give an official ... introduction...

Anyways, I'm pretty sure there were threads made on the topic already. Using fanning powder is a quick fix, but the better thing to do is to just buy a new deck. Which is why it's better to not buy expensive E decks. Personally, I use 2 dollar studs

I would just get a new deck, thats also why I don't buy expensive decks. I have a deck of tallys that Im too afraid to use because they'll wear out haha.

do people still use Talc ???

The best way is to get a cheap brick of bike decks, simply break out another one and throw the old one away or use it for torn and restored effects.

You could try putting the deck in the fridge for a couple of hours. Depending on how greasy it is, it might crisp up for a while, but basically, the lesson is not to use expensive performance decks to learn on.

Fridge may not be such a good idea, as it can be quite humid in them. Although it may make the cards better for a short period of time it will wreck them in the long run.

That's what I thought too, but when I tried it, I had no problems. I think the real problem is that he's learning magic with an expensive deck instead of some cheap bikes or wads.

Yeah, if its just for when you're practicing it may be worth trying to get your hands on a couple of packs of bicycle seconds. They handle exactly the same as a normal deck and usually only have one or two irregularities. Cheap too

The best thing you could do is as said above- buy cheap bikes and you can batter them cards as much as you like then open a new deck when you need to.

If you really want to use the ghost deck then buy another deck and save them for performances.

i tried the fridge before, it worked fine, but if i put it in too long it ruins them afterwards, but i got it just right and it's better
