So with Metropol LUX cards now for sale, I got these straight from the source from Canada. http://www.metropolcards.com/. It finished a successful Kickstarter in September 2014 and started shipping recently. Its claimed that there are only 1000 of these printed. I should grab a couple more…yea…lets do it.

This blog accolade goes to decks that I personally enjoy. As you might be able to tell, I like red/black/white color schemes, but not those full black decks like black ghost, black tigers, vipers etc.

This deck is simple and fulfills that niche. The box is simple. The back of the box reminds me of the sides of Watermelon RJRTC Bees.The inside of the box has a faint suit pattern, which is a nice touch.

Card stock: Having been away for a few years, Legends PCC stock is new to me. At first, it feels…waxy, plasticky…but I think its growing on me. The cardstock is definitely heavier than USPC bikes.

Its not a bordered deck, but who cares when the design is this awesome! Fanning and table spreads are bold.

Anyways, there’ll probably be separate posts for the other 3 Metropol decks, but not right away. I’ve got other decks I want to get to before then.
