 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey today, we're gonna look at the citizens deck from Theory 11. Alright, so what is the citizens deck? What's the inspiration for it? The citizen playing cards? They are probably the most intricate breathtaking playing cards that Theory 11 has put out to date. These cards were illustrated by a gentleman named Kevin Cantrell and every aspect has been handcrafted with relentless unrivaled attention to detail. You're gonna see gold foil, hot stamping and bronze foil just around the tuck case alone, and I think that the design is very eye-catching, very elegant, and very sophisticated. So you can see all of that foil all around this tuck case. It just wraps all the way around. It's very beautiful. Theory 11, man, if you can say anything about them, they know how to make a really attractive tuck case. Man, some of the my most favorite tuck cases are from Theory 11. The front of the tuck case says citizens right there in the center. Up at the top it says premium playing cards, and then it says Theory 11, and then it also says e-pluribus unum. One side of the tuck case says produced in the USA. The other side says citizens. The bottom has a little bit of ad copy about Theory 11. The top says citizens. There was a custom tuck seal that went across here and down, but I ripped mine off because it didn't stick very well to the foiling. It didn't adhere very well to the box. I just took mine off. The back design is not the back design of the cards. It's actually an ace pip there with the all-seeing eye, and then these concentric circles that are kind of pulsating away from it. The tongue flap has the C logo for citizens, and then you have that gold foil on the inside tiny flaps, and then on the inside of the tuck case. Look at that shimmer. It's really, really beautiful. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards are printed from the United States playing card company, and they are done on their casino grade stock. They do have a modern cut and air cushion emboss, and if you'd like to learn more about stock, cut, or finish, you can click the link below in the description. A lot of people are always going to ask me how these cards feel and how they handle. The best thing I can do is give you a scientific measurement. I can put these into a caliper. What I do is I take 10 cards. 10 cards my standard, and I put that into a caliper, and then I measure that for you so that you can compare it against other decks or maybe other playing cards that you've held, or maybe that you've owned in the past. 10 of these cards come to 2.90. 2.90 is a casino grade stock. Somewhere between 280 and 3.0, 285-ish is United States playing card company's new, thinner casino stock. 2.90, they're going to feel like the denim deck from Dan and Dave. They'll feel like the Grinders deck, or the Artifice deck, or the Draconian deck. The back design, as you can see, is very beautiful. It's done in those same colors that you kind of saw from the tuck case. Kind of that muted brown and black. You have a normal, medium-sized poker border around the edges. And then it does have the three concentric circles that you kind of recognize from maybe a bicycle deck or a tally-ho deck. So on the top and bottom you have the spade there, you have a circle there in the center. And then a lot of the extras is just linework, graphs, and frames. With this deck you'll get two extra cards. You're going to get an ad card and a double backer, which is great for magic. Also with this deck you'll get two original jokers, thus a citizen across the middle. And it's just a big, beautiful graphic. You're also going to notice a Latin phrase, both on the jokers and on the back of the cards. It's a Latin phrase, al dente, fotuna, yavat. That means fortune favors the brave. Your ace of spades is also very large and exploited. It's that same copper coloring. Again you're going to see the citizens logo there in the center. Your pips and indice cards will all be completely standard, instantly recognizable, making them perfect for gameplay, magic, and flourishing. Your court cards are also going to be standard bicycle courts. However they have been recolored you're going to have blacks, deep reds, and again that gold stamped foil.
