Guardians Playing Cards

Came as described. Packaging was well done. Still have it after and over a year of purchase and the deck is well managed and plays super well. Trimming is always going to fade on black decks but that should be expected when buying a black deck. Good price and fun to play.

I added these cards as an afterthought along with another order (ironically I had just placed an order direct from Theory11 (the Guardians' original designer) without a glance at these cards). In the future - these will be the front and center product. The box is is dark and mysterious, and looks good. However, the dual English/French text and the advertising back (instead of an image of the back of the cards) is kind of ugly, though nearly all standard Bicycle-brand decks have advertising backs now. The cards are gorgeous. The Guardian back is slightly reminiscent of the original, class Rider Back. However, these cards are edgy, dark and mysterious, while still being elegant. The Ace of Spades is breathtaking, and is quite possibly the most attractive Ace I've ever seen in a deck of cards, tying only with the Artifice Deck's Ace. They perform great, at least out of the box. I suspect that they will wear/age either the same or slightly better (i.e. last longer) than plain Rider Back/Standard decks. They fan better than any deck in my collection except my Viper Tally-Ho (UV500 Air-Flow edition), and even then the Guardians give that deck, which is almost twice as expensive as this one, a run for its money. Overall - the Guardians are fun to look at, easy to perform with, and are reasonably priced, making them a great choice for a performance deck.

Very, very satisfied with this product. I'm a first time buyer from amazon and I was happy with this product. Awesome cards, very slick and smooth. amazing fan and spreads, nice shuffling, easy deal, perfect for magic tricks! I recommend these cards for anyone looking for a deck of cards that they want to pull out to impress a few friends with. I DO NOT recommend these cards for someone looking for a deck of cards that has every face card redesigned around guardian. but however the color scheme has changed. The reds are darker, very nice touch. The ace is amazing, and I am personally a lover of the joker cards in any deck. The Jockers are centered around the min design. Please keep in mind that these cards are very nice and deserve to be taken care of! any set of cards can last 6 months with continuous use. if you want to practice shuffling with these cards, but two decks. Constant riffle shuffling and bridging will cause any deck to bend out of shape in weeks ( I'm well aware that a lot of people know this, I'm letting the rookies know)

This deck of Bicycle playing cards has reached my expectations. The quality is better then the standard bicycle playing cards and these guardians playing cards can be handled better. I think that this deck of playing cards is perfect for amateur magicians because as i said, the cards can be handled very good. Also I enjoy very much the design. The drawing on the back is really impressive. The only thing that I was disappointed about was that there weren't any cards special for magic tricks such as double back cards or stuff like that. Anyway it is worth its money and I recommend it to everyone who knows how to recognize quality.

Ok, I have many different card decks and I have to say this is the absolute coolest one I have! the angel designs and theme is VERY cool! I have a dragonback deck and that doesn't compare to this deck at all! Aside from the super amazing design, these are just regular playing cards and so they start off really stiff and hard to shuffle, but once they are broken in, they become your best friend. I highly recommend this deck to anyone who wants a unique deck instead of those boring old everyday riderback cards. I use these cards to play lots of games, but I recommend these cards to people who play nertz. This is about as unique as you can get and really helps in nertz! I think this is a GREAT deck and those in search of a card deck should buy it NOW!

Most of my life I have restricted myself to using cheap cards from dollar stores and similar sort of places. This is the first time I have purchased better cards and good heavens, what a difference it is!!! I have no idea how they make this thing called "air-flow" technology, but I can swear that it is awesome. initially i had trouble holding the cards in had because they were so smooth. Every time i went to shuffle, they would just fly out all over the place. Then i slowly got accustomed to them and the whole process of shuffles is now just effortless. I have even learned different types of shuffles from youtube and surprised myself by actually performing them smoothly !!! They are very nicely made, no doubt about that. The interesting part is the finish and the look-so elegant. Go ahead and buy a pack, you won't regret it.

I got this cards for my nephew because he asked for some Magical Gathering card games for his brithday I got him this cards and he said I was not too good at cards getting. I told him these cards are very nice and you can do magic tricks with them or play Go Fish and Rummy but he said that is not the point he was getting at. He gave me the cards back and I have built some nice card houses on my table with them so that is why I am giving them 5 stars up. They are very cool looking stack of cards and sometimes I think my nephew needs to get with the pogram.

Great quality, great back design and a beautifuly amazing ace of spades. The red color is darker than the one of regular decks and the face cards have grey replacing that ugly bright yellow that is common on playing cards. The black box is very pretty too and when you take this out of your pocket for either a magic trick or just for playing a game with friends you surely will make an impact and draw people's attention without having to do anything at all.

Ottimo prodotto, inizialmente mi sembravano troppo leggere, ma questione di abitudine non di robustezza, infatti dopo mesi di utilizzo la qualità della plastica molto buona. Consigliato e regalo apprezzatissimo

Encore un paquet et un jeu de cartes merveilleux qui nous plonge dans un autre univers. Un vrai plaisir à regarder, à mélanger, à distribuer, à jouer et à faire des tours de magie. Encore encore.
