Review: Get yourself a deck - Ive heard about Theory 11 being a luxury deck and the first thought was what the heck is that. But as soon as you touch and feel the card in your hand you know exactly what they mean. The art is good, but most everyone who makes decks of cards whats their art to be the best quality. But the feel and texture of the cards themselves tells you exactly what they mean when they say luxury deck. The value for the money is acceptable. They’re pretty much the perfect playing card deck.
Review: Great on handling - Cards have a very nice handling and a pretty design, better in design than the white edition in my opinion. I mainly use them for cardistry so they move very smoothly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 3 questions:  if anyone knows, what does the ag stand for?  are these poker size or regular playing card size?  are these only for magic?**
A: The AG stands for Artist Guild.  These are poker.  They are a deck of cards that you play with, not just for magic.

**Q: Can you create a custom design that I can copyright. I am planning on purchasing thousands of decks.**
A: Sure, feel free to contact us.

**Q: Is it plastic or paper?**
A: They are Not pure plastic cards.  These are Bicycle style VERY HIGH quality playing cards. So that does make them paper but coated.  You want these cards.

**Q: Is the box that these cards come in grooved? As in can I feel the texture on the box?**
A: The box is not grooved. It’s a standard box.  The cards are great cards. I play bridge with them.
