Rebel playing cards
I got my 1st deck of rebels last week as a late birthday present from my brother. I have been testing them out after breaking them in and I have something to say. These cards feel amazing! First however I will start with the beginning, the box...Simply put the box is amazing. The foil on the seal and the suits is outstanding and the embossed artwork gives this box an amazing feel. However because it is so nice it makes it hard for me to want to carry them in a pocket. The seal is wonderfully done. The inside looks wonderful as well the soft red contrast makes the box look and feel regal...apart from anything else I have seen....and now the cards. The edges are smooth and clean. The design is inspiring, breathtaking, i could go on. The cards fan quite well and I could spring them right out of the box with no trouble at all. Sybil cutting, revolution cuts, regardless of what I did they worked amazingly. Also as a side note for anyone who does Bone Ho's Mannequin, it looks amazing with this deck as well as the Hindu tornado. I will be buying more of these as time goes by. The best thing of all...THEY AREN"T LIMITED EDITION...at least to my knowledge. anyway I hope you find this helpful if you want more info just post a reply. Also I would love imput on these from anyone who owns them.

I absolutely love the Rebels. What appeals most to me as a cardist is the fact that the deck is soft and almost broken in to my liking right out of the box. The thin borders also help with the overall visual aesthetic of cardistry and it's a rare thing to see in a playing card deck. Dimitri, MJ, and I really beat these cards up when we were shooting the trailer in the 108+ degree flatbed in Nevada but they did great.

Oh yeah I'm working on Genesis between shifts at work and these things are going pure torture but they still feel great. The only thing I cant bring myself to do is the one handed shuffle...it bows them and then from what i have seen I cant get them to bow back. Hopefully gonna get some more before too long. SO glad to see Theory11 going over the top and showing us all what limits cards can push

The way the rebels feel are fantastic. It's the same thing I like about the Sentinals. Such a nice smooth feel to the cards like Andrei mentioned. I wish the monarchs felt that good too. My only disikeis the United States Capitol Building in the design. It doesn't really mean much to those outside the US. But the rest of the design is great, including the very well done box! But people have a very quizzical look when they ask about the building and I tell them what building it is.
