Musings and Thoughts

This is a page for thoughts and musings specific to Playing Cards. Usually negative, rarely incorrect. Although these are currently my own thoughts, I hope to build this list with the help of the wonderful Playing Card Community.


1) A misaligned deck is an instant poop deck.

2) I can enjoy NOCs and still admit they are lazy and boring.

3) A deck that can't fan is Coronation Street without Les Battersby (i.e. pointless).

4) If you break the seal with your thumb, two hours detention.

5) Do people enjoy faro'ing a gilded deck?

6) Top three magicians: Blaine, Penn & Teller, DMC

7) Top 3 Cardistry Decks: Virtuoso FW 2017 by The Virts, Broken Borders 2020 by NDO, Superfly Royale by Gemini

8) Top 3 EPCC Decks: Jetsetter Black, Green Chameleons by Asi Wind, Exquisite Bolder

9) Three decks I like but hate myself for doing so: Fontaine Chinatown, Cherry Casino V3 Aqua, LotusInHand Contra Ventus


If you have any playing card musings, please DM on Instagram @thedeckstock, and I will be happy to add your annoyance or random thought to the list.
