What's with these decks

[pimbo]

So i was on a magic shop site and i saw a "Black Spider Deck".
So what is the deal with all these decks, like Vintage, Black Tiger, Black Spider, Black Scorpion, Ghost, Shadow Masters etc.
Like why do they have to make so many decks with so many different looks?

[Hoax]

Why do women put on make-up? Why do they make themself pretty before they go out? Why do we decorate for certain holidays?


Do you got your answer now?:)

There are a lot of cool decks, but I like the normal bicycle deck the best.

Why not make so many decks with different looks?

[Jferkin]

why? People will get bored with em... Its like saying why not just wear blue jeans and a white teeshirt everyday all day for the rest of your life... They make em cause they look nice....Gives diffrent style... instead of being plain...And they make em cause they sell... Say the ghost deck was first spiecal deck ever(it isnt) and it didnt sell... THey would stop making and trying to sell em most likely.....They are selling so they make em because it's just another way to get some cash...

It just disturbs me that there are so many different decks.They just want to make the decks look cool so people will buy them.But really the decks aren't any better than regular decks.

So does it disturb you that there are some many different kinds of shoes?

[Hoax]

lol.. They do make quite a lot of pointless ones though..

[pimbo]

Why are most decks like BLACK <insert animal name here>.Why is there only one happy colored rainbow deck?I want to see White Pillow deck and Red Strawberry deck!
And most are almost the same just with a different animal name no it or in different color.

I really dont see why it matters that there are different decks.

[pimbo]

1) It destroys the environment.
2) Kills Pandas And Other cool animals.
3) Confuses people.
4) Is pointless.

[magic123]

Because people like more than one choice.

[Daniel Heidemann]

1) It destroys the environment.
That has nothing to do with the different decks. Its the number of deck that matters.
No it has nothing to say.

2) Kills Pandas And Other cool animals.

yes, its so sad.

3) Confuses people.

Only you my friend ;)

4) Is pointless.

Why?

.....And so does going on a computer, doesn't it? Unless you are using some sort of wind-up computer or something.

I personally see where you are coming from, there are so many black decks...But, it's no big deal. Why black decks? Maybe white decks stain too easily? What's wrong with black? Do you have something against black things?
And there is a white pillow deck, it's called the blank deck. And, I am not sure about a red strawberry deck, there is a red deck....LINK (http://www.magic.org/store/images/THEREDECK2.jpg)

Um, I guess, people just like change, I am sure you can pursue your rant about most things, why are cars different colours? Why can't all the cars be the same? That way no one will be jealous of each other, because everyone would be the same. You have a good point, continue pursuing your argument. Good luck.

If there is a new deck and they hype it up and people buy it because it looks cool, then later they are going to make more because it sells so good.To make cards they cut down forests and forest is the home for animals like pandas, monekeys and rare animals.
It is pointless to make so many different decks because they aren't any better than regular decks.They just have a different look, but everything else is the same.
For all I know my computer could be using solar power.
Using a the internet is more environment friendly than handing out flyers.
It is better to go on the street and tell people to not buy these decks but the
word won't reach far.

[Hoax]

oh..my..god...




You're worried about that making cards is destroying the forrests. You really got a narrowed mind man..

[pimbo]

Not only that but also the other things I said.

[Hoax]

Who the fuck gives a damn rat ass about it? A deck of cards is vital for you as a magician. And it's MY life so don't mess with it:)

[dankai]

What I don't appreciate is the way our pockets are raped with the cost of a new gaff deck. Like the WH DC Ultragaff for $30 freaking dollars. WTF?? Thank goodness I know how to make my own gaffs if I need to. Then each single DVD (three total) that goes with that particular gaff deck showing how to use it $30 bucks each!

Ridiculous IMO.

Well I guess you need to stop performing your TnR (http://www.learnmagictricks.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21261) because its destroing the rain forest.

[Moa]

omg yeah i also believe that all E and T11 decks are the thief's of the environment :eek: not...
shore they don't really serve any purpose. but destroying the environment?
i wouldn't worrying about U.P.C shopping down the rain forest. especially when they right now moving back there factory's to US.

so long as the Chines col factory's are up and going theres not so mush we can do to change the situation.
i should know, i live in Sweden believe we where the most environment friendly country in 2008. But its still getting warmer and warmer. US and China are the countrys that really can make any differences. Cards ust don't do that mush of a difference, airplanes, trucks, factory's do.

so get your facts right before you post next time.

OMG! Pimbo?!?! How could you!?!?
I can't believe you could encourage such an act!
That's just horrible! I have never ever practiced nor performed a TnR effect, seriously, I live in a place where there are no bicycle decks, so I have to treat my cards with a lot of care.
Even if you have never performed a TnR you are encouraging it.

Hhmmm, are handing out flyers more destructive to the environment then the internet? Are you sure? What if the flyers have been recycled?
Lets think, internet normaly requires some sort of computer which most likely requires electricity. Most electricity is made at power stations that use coal and many power stations produce toxic gases like carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide (which causes acid rain), that isn't too good for the environment.

I say, you use word of mouth. Stop wasting time on the computer and start knocking on doors in your country and tell them what you think, do this for about a year straight and I can assure you that word of mouth spreads.


So, yea, all that being said. Just, um, yea. You'll have to ask someone else for a better explanation.

[Hoax]

ehm.. this is retarded.. like you sean.. HAHAHH



It has gone from the black tiger deck to how to save the environment and how to svae the rain forrests.. WTF??

[Jferkin]

[ntroberts]

This thread made me laugh. Thanks LMT! :D

[pimbo]

I am not doing a TnR because i can't make the gimmick and i have only peformed a TnR only 1 time.
You are right about the computer, so I will stop using it.
Bye this is my last day on a computer.

[Moa]

ehm what the... :confused:
haha this thread is so weird.
