Second Edition Guardians

[Eddie]

He wants to hate them more because he works for Ellusionist (he is also an administrator on the E forums). Well RJ I'm glad for your honesty. I have an open mind on these so I may pick them up, however I agree they will be hard to beat Shadow Masters. I have a brick of 12 Shadow Masters and a few decks I got for free from the holiday promotion over there. I'll see though.

Yes I know he "works" for E. But E and T11 are not competitors... My guess is RJ is just being a poor sport.

He isn't being a poor sport at all. Just stated his views

I got mine in the mail today. I opened a deck and was surprised at how good they feel! They fan perfectly and the art work is stunning! I love how the court cards are slightly faded as well! The only thing that i can say bad against them is the ad card in the box. I thought i had won prize 11 of the holiday contest...

Hahaha...I see what you mean

The ad card is pretty damn awesome though.

One question really quick.
Is there any differences to the looks between the 1st and 2nd Edition Guardians?
And if so what are they?
Thanks in advance!

The second editions are darker and look shinier and glossier (but not too glossy!)
If you're talking about the box, the new one is smaller and has a darker color to it.

I just wanted to post once again recounting my feelings towards the 2nd edition Guardians.

I've been using the exact same deck of Bicycle Guardians that I was using when I made my first post in this thread and they still are fanning beautifully, and holding together quite well. The edges of this deck is pretty grey in color still due to hand residue and whatnot.

I know what you might be thinking..."Oh, he probably doesn't handle his cards very often." Well, I do. I practice off and on through out the day, and if I had to estimate the amount of time they are in my hands I'd have to say close to four hours or so. All I have to do to take care of them is make sure that my hands aren't riddled with grease or other foriegn objects (food and whatnot) and put them in the porper clip when not in use.

I too will have to give these a 4.9/5.0

I've had the same thing happen with my decks of Guardians, the only real downside to that is that if you take a dupe from a deck that you don't use as much, it sticks out in the dirty deck.

Thanks for the review! Yeah I was sort of worried about the Guardians because of the Air Cushion Finish (I guess I'm just spoiled to E's UV500 and I was really wondering if they would be any better than normal bikes. Glad to know that they are. By the way, when did they stop selling the 1st edition and start selling the 2nd?
