  • This is it. 2020 was a crazy year, and it also produced some crazy decks. With ALL of the decks out there, which one wins out?? This was a hard list to make of course, so let me know how I did!

    Thank you for the top 14. I really enjoy your in depth reviews of decks. I can go back to view again if I forget any details to tell people who are confused to why I started collecting them. With your help I can make them more interesting to them.

    Amazing Top 10 Tim!! 💯 There's so many decks that came out that ranking them is difficult. But what you laid out, i can totally agree with you. 💯

      Thanks, Frank! It’s a tough list to make for sure, but I’m happy with the list. It’s been a great year for cards and I think 2021 is lining up to be even better!

    I don't know too many decks that came out this year, so this list helped! My favourite releases were the arrowdynamix decks by Kevin Ho

    great list. culturae animalis is one of my all-time favs, and crypt is possibly my #1 release in 2020 as well (thanks for honoring the no-show agreement!) KWP of course, and I agree of those 2 selections (if you have to pick 2). I did not realize the cards of skotos were so lovely, will have to pick up! Hadn't seen the Witches deck before, but I think I prefer the similar Acelion deck? I have gilded versions of the Charmers and of Jody's decks and the gildings do take the designs up an even further notch. Haven't been able to score a luxury edition of meadowlarks, but I agree the yellow on the standard is beautifully executed! I also liked how the Enigmas, Vonnart, and Black Gold Lenormand KS project were realized. Thanks!

    • @TheCardGuyReviews
      @TheCardGuyReviews  Před 3 lety +1

      Skotos is definitely my “surprise” deck of the list. Thanks for your thoughts! I’ll have to check out Enigmas and Lenormand for myself!

    I could hardly wait for your top 10 deck review. You certainly did not disappoint TGC! Fantastic list. Thanks for putting in the honorable mentions too. I love the mystery behind the Crypt deck. Do you know how many were printed? I was happy to see I own 2 of the decks in your top ten and my sister owns 2 decks but different from mine. Keep up the great work. I thought your production quality on this review was very high.

    I haven't really thought about my top 10, but most on your list I am sure would make it on my top 10 as well. Certainly Crypt is my favorite as well. It was truly mind-blowing. Sovereign though would likely take second spot. Jody finally put in one that put his skill on full display in wonderful color. Of course Robin Hood and Beowulf would make the cut. Culturae Animali would definitely make my top 10 as well. I would not have put in Legal Tender v2 simply because it is essentially a reprint.

    • @TheCardGuyReviews
      @TheCardGuyReviews  Před 3 lety

      Yeah I almost left Legal Tender off for that reason, but it was different enough - and good enough - to stay. I can definitely buy in on Sovereign moving up the list though! It’s an outstanding design by Jody!

      That’s a tough one. I honestly could have made a list of decks with 5-6 KWP decks and Arthurian would have been there. I left it off in part because it’s a remake of an older deck rather than a full original design. But I could have made a case that it belongs in the list too!

    I love your channel as you know but i don't usually buy beautiful artistic decks to collect unless they are really appropriate for magic. So, I am unable to put together a Top Ten list of the kind of cards that you admire and collect. With one exception. I have the Green Man deck and I think it's a spectacular deck in every way, I also would put the Tough Luck deck on my personal list because it is so strong thematically, perfect for magic, and quite beautifully designed in loving detail and with a sense of humor.

    • @TheCardGuyReviews
