Honestly, this channel has been one of my favorites of 2019. Whenever I was curious about buying a new deck, you were the go to channel to see if it was quality. Thanks for all you do, and have a happy 2020!
It's also in 2019 when I found out about cardistry and felt almost immediately passionate about it. The video proves again there's an endless number of possibilities of deck designs and that creativity isn't missing in this community. Thanks a lot again for introducing me to all these talented artists and I hope that soon I could clench on at least one of these cards, especially the pagan one. I still can't believe why I haven't heard of it earlier...
Its only been a week since I came to know about your channel. In fact, I never knew that there are so many premium playing card decks as well as artists/designers/magicians who put in so much of effort in making them. Since then I have binge watched a lot of your reviews. It's hard to choose one but the provision looks very attractive to me. And I must say, designer Giovanni Maroni's art skill is over 9000. The quality of content is definitely off the charts. There's no doubt you will reach a million+ subscribers someday!!!
I've been doing card magic for a little over 4 years now, but really haven't branched far out into card collecting and custom decks until recently. You showed me 10 great new decks and a host of designers I was previously unfamiliar with. I'm looking forward too diving deeper into the world of card collecting.
One designer who you introduced to me that I absolutely LOVE is Lotrek. I love his artwork and designs, which are so creative. His decks are truly works of art, and they have given me lots of inspiration when it comes to designing a deck myself. In fact, the Chronos deck is one of my favorite decks I have seen in a very long time.
I rly like that you still do videos like this. Most youtubers stop coz they don't see the point but the real reason you should do them is coz they're just chill. Most content is pretty cool and useful and things like this are just relaxing and also informative
all of these premium decks are new to me, i only know about bicycle decks before. Thank you for your awesome video that show me another world of playing cards !
I essentially learned about the entirety of the playing card world through this channel. The reviews here are amazing and I always look forward to them. Thanks to your extensive work, my knowledge of designers has gone from almost none to a respectable level.
Before watching this video, I have no idea that there are actually so much beautiful playing cards in 2019. Whenever I wanna buy a new deck, I come straight to your channel. I really really like your videos, keep it on!
Hey TGW I love your videos man! You have introduced me to sooooo many designers and decks. I've raised my collection from about 40 up to 80 or so decks this year. Steve Minty, Giovanni Meroni, and Lotrek or just a few of my new favorite designers!! Also, before just a few weeks ago, David Blaine's new Rose Gold iteration of the Gatorbacks was my all around favorite deck I owned, however that was before I received my black and gold version Parlour playing cards. I just got introduced to your channel over the last few months and you have become my go to channel for deck reviews, but you have also designed my new FAVORITE deck of all time!! I can't tell you how much I absolutely love this deck man. Everything about it is just spot on and pure perfection. Anyways like always, this was a great video and I can't wait to see all that 2020 has to offer. Good luck to all in there give away! Sincerely, Ryan Bell
Thanks for the great video. I just started collecting cards a couple months ago so you introduced a number of decks to me in this video, most notably the De Novas and the Standards. Thank you again and keep up the great work!
I've been a collector of playing cards for over a decade. So glad we have such passionate card enthusiasts like TheGentlemanWake in the community inspiring diversity of collecting and appreciating of playing card art. Never heard of your No. 2 choice, and will for sure be checking them out! Looking forward to your next collab! Cheers!
I'd be lost on finding these hidden gem limited playing cards without your channel. I think the De Novo deck was my favorite that you introduced me to in this video. Another great video! Wish you could produce more, I always look forward to these. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your collaboration with Lotrek.
I've heard of maybe half the decks on the list, but all of them looked amazing! The Order deck is one I hadn't heard of and is definitely one I'll be looking into getting. Love the style and colors! Thanks for the video. As always, very informative and inspiring!
What’s up GW! Great to see you back! I was so happy to be introduced to the Uusi decks from this video. Beautiful work which is right up my alley. Thank for all you do!
I came across your channel a few days ago and it's introduced me to the world of luxury playing card decks and cardistry, thank you! I really like the Luminosity court cards, I've never seen that double-image technique used before but it sure brings the characters to life.
I freaking love your videos. I am an amateur card collector but I think for me it's your designer of the year that you introduced me to that I can't get enough of. Lotrek just does such amazing work and I've been a fan ever since the first time I heard of him on your channel! Looking forward to the next kickstarter campaign :)
You introduced me to my favourite deck of playing cards, The Dead Man's Deck. I love the deck and I love the story behind it. As it was the beginning of this channel, I think it was the fourth video posted on it, I have been watching since I saw that video and I still don't know why this channel is not the biggest channel for reviewing playing cards. But in my heart it is the best. Thank you for introducing me to that deck and to the magic of collecting playing cards!
I’ve usually preferred cardistry type decks, but watching your videos has really expanded my liking for more intricately designed decks. Thanks for sharing! Your videos are great 👍
Great video!! You introduced me top Steve Minty and the Ascension series. Thank you for that! I've backed these new Ascension v2 kick starter and can't wait for those tuck cases! Keep up the great work Wake!
You introduced me to the Kings Wild deck, and I immediately rushed to their website to purchase one. I can't tell you how nostalgic I felt watching your presentation, and seeing the Jokers rendered by Jackson's daughters immediately resonated with me as I have a daughter that would have come up with something quite similar. Thank you! Great list and reviews.
Before I started watching you I never really thought about collecting decks but you’ve really got me into it. You’ve introduced me to many decks but the favourite one is the 2019 national playing card collection day decks. I absolutely love them!
I'm just getting started and seeing how gorgeous these decks are, it's opened up a whole new world for me! The Luminosity deck is my personal favourite. Thank you so much for your awesome review. You've definitely inspired me so much more 😍
I’m glad you introduced me to the NPCCD 2019 deck because I am from Morocco and to see such a beautiful deck of playing cards representing my country just makes me happy. Keep up the great videos
Honestly, I started watching your videos after you uploaded the review Sherlock Holmes deck and after that I have been following you on all your social media platforms trying to learn a lot about Card Stock and finish improving my own Deck collection with 12 beautiful decks that I never knew that they were in the market. Thanks a lot to your videos and your knowledge that I was able to improve my knowledge about decks.
No doubt at all, each of the featured decks are beautiful; thank you for sharing your picks. Very excited to see your collaboration deck with Lotrek as well! Lotrek is easily in my top three favorite playing card artists, although surprisingly enough I haven't seen The Entertainer before. I'll definitely have to shop around and see if I can pick one of those up. Thirdway Industries being another favorite, easily catching my eye the first time I saw a set of the decks. The unique court card designs truly cause the decks to stand out to me apart from the rest. Really neat to see the Monoliths featured in the video alongside the Lotrek ones. Not to mention the NPCCD 2019 decks which I was introduced to from your video featuring them. Never seen that concept before for the case or the cards. I'm very impressed that someone was able to think of such an idea.
You introduced me to Kevin Yu and his super beautiful cards. He’s instantly become my favorite designer. I got the Esther star deck collection and hope to get the other decks soon. Thanks for everything!
I've recently discovered this channel and every deck you show is a deck I descover. I like more simple and minimalistic decks but your tops and reviews are changing mi mind!
You introduced me to many different decks of cards. My personal favorite was the monolith limited edition holo version. Absolutely gorgeous. It was your review on that that got me fully hooked on collecting playing cards. :)
I must say the deck selection is superb, I like it a lot. Being a collector myself, all of the decks in the list have been known to me before. Thanks for another excellent video, hopefully you'll have more time this year to produce more :)
Once again, you did a great job with a beautifully shot video. I have not seen 'The Entertainer' deck so far and i get why it made the first place. The two different gold tones on the back really make it for me.
Loved this video, I picked all but two of your top 10 for mu personal collection. Thank you for the great video and break down. As a collector, I rarely open my decks, so this was a treat!
I hadn't the slightest idea there were so many decks available. But now have a long wishlist due to your reviews and frankly the amount of love and passion into the design you've shown. Chronos Deck is possibly my favorite that you've introduced, but not the only on my list that you had reviewed.
After seeing this, I just HAVE to get my hands on the Ascension and the Luminosity decks. I am relatively new to this hobby and I am attracted to decks that stand out in either the artwork or the tuck cases. The whole top 10 is now on my wish list but I know where I will be starting! Thanks for all the great videos!
The list is so breath taking! And as I've thought, Lotrek's decks made it to the top! His designs are superb and you'll feel the luxurious vibes in every deck he released. I'm stoked for the next TGW deck and I'm hyped on how will Lotrek design your deck. And yep, watching your vids' the reason why I'm a huge fan of Lotrek now! 😁
I have loved cards since i was a little kid but you have shown me some amazing decks that i never knew existed so thanks! My peronal favourite has to be the Monolith deck, i love the design. The review was fantastic and im glad i found your videos.
I had never seen or heard of UUSI I and think your right about that deck in this video is one I'm really looking to get my hands on now. Keep up the great work. Love what you do.
I am from Greece and I didn't know playing cards were printed or even designed here so you have introduced me to Chronos playing cards and I think they are super cool!! Thank you for putting forward such exceptional playing cards keep up the good work!
I actually started watching your videos and collecting playing cards at the end of 2019. My first deck purchase was the blue wheels deck. Now I have 16 decks and it’s growing fast. My favorite deck is the little deck of horrors. It was a free deck with one of my orders but once I had them I loved them. I watched your video after I ordered and loved the humor your wife brought to the channel. My wife calls this deck the boo deck lol Thank you for showing me so many classy decks!
The Gentleman rocks!!! I am a 68 yr old Grandma, lifelong canasta player and never new there was so much to learn about playing cards until I discovered The Gentleman Wake channel! Fantastic video, fabulous content, wonderful Gentleman & Wife too!!
Your Videos are just amazing , I came across one of you videos yesterday by god knows how, and now I am hooked to your high quality content and soothing presentation (watched more than 15 videos within 2 days), I would admit I was not a card fan but after watching the designs of the Novo, kings wild, standards, monolithic, ascention, order , chronos (these took my heart away) , luminosity (just wow), entertainer, all of these for the first time ever, I have to admit, I found a new world. Thanks for your amazing content.
Holy- I disappeared from the cardistry community for a couple of months due to schooling and lost touch on the latest decks and looking to throw myself back into the gist of things and I am absolutely blown away by Steve Minty and the signature Ascension deck. I would have never fathomed the 3D look and how intricate it is. Bonkers. Cannot wait to get back into the community, another fantastic video! And your own deck is definitely belongs in the top 3!
I’m so glad you introduced me to lotrek! I had no idea there were such beautiful cards out there. Also, a little side note, I finally found a black parlour deck and I’m sooooo stoked to have it come in, fantastic job!
Wow this video was amazing. I was really into cards in 2019, but this year I wasn't so interested in it anymore. I used to watch your channel in 2019, but this video made me come back to the card producing world. I didnt really know any of these designer, but would be amazingly happy to get these decks
I’m a new collector and you have introduced me to a whole new world. I’ve only been paying attention to mass produced decks, so everything you presented here besides the Standards is new to me. Thank you for the elegant content of fascinating new decks. Hopefully I can add those 6 to my collection :)
You introduced me to the NOC 3000X1's, and it's my favourite NOC to date! Your reviews are so professional, and it's obvious that you put a lot of work into them!
The black monolith got me into collecting cards. I only have 2 decks right now so I'm very new at this but I love Cardistry and love your in depth analysis of cards. Thank you for introducing me to do many amazing decks.
Been collecting Playing Cards for a number of years and a Kickstarter enthusiast for the past three. You have introduced me to The Gentleman Wake and I have to make up for lost time. I have subscribed and now got to get back to your channel and reviews.
You introduced me to Kevin yu with his amazing tuck box design, the video was a review on the Esther star playing cards which hit me interested in his work and have backed his Phoenix Kickstarter campaign and his current trident and sword Kickstarter campaign. Not only that but your channel was what got me into card collecting, I don’t have a lot of cards because I can’t really afford to go buying all these different master pieces but I do plan on growing my collecting when I can in the future. Thank you and keep up these amazing videos 👍
You introduced me to Jackson Robinson with his Kings wild back to school playing cards! I love the old school style of it, and having a daughter myself I love how he involved his family that way!!!
You have sparked my interest in the world of cards and how beautiful and interesting they can be, so i guess you have introduced me to the whole world of my playing cards, thank you for that. I have also started a collection of decks as well but probably not as big as yours.
I knew most of these but you introduced me to the pagan deck and I NEED to get my hands on a royal mischief deck as well. Great list and I can't wait to back your next campaign!
TGW you have introduced me to so many decks. One that I would not have looked at otherwise would be the Royal Mischief deck. I love the deck now and it sits in my collection!
You made me discover the National Playing Cards Collection Day 2019 and since then I dream of its intricate tiles and motifs! What a beautiful travel to Morocco. Thank you for your videos!
The designer you've introduced me to came in this video was Gio! I like the look of those Order decks and may need to grab myself a set! Thanks for the great content as always Gentleman!
Hi Gentleman, it's always a pleasure to hear you talking about playing cards...your voice is so passionate that anyone that hear you immediately become a playng cards lover! I'm really proud to have the StandardS one (thanks to your video review), the Order form Thirdway Industries (I'm a real fan of Giovanni, and I'm pledging all his projects on KS!), Luminosity...I'm certainly going to take the De Novo deck, thanks again for your wonderful reviews.
I'm new in the world of unique playing cards. I was looking around on RUclips to learn more about cards and found your account. You've learned me a lot already and all the cards you mentioned were new to me, I loved the cards with Nordic influence. You sparked my interest to learn and collect more special decks of cards. I'm probably to late fore the giveaway but I'm definitely subscribing!!
You've actually introduced me to all of these decks as my interest in playing cards is brand new and I've decided to start a collection due to the monolith deck and the luminosity deck Also i've found quite an interest in Giovanni Maroni's decks in particular as I enjoy the art style. Great Video
A deck you introduced me to was from your top ten list last year, “The Dead Man’s Deck”. The bullet hole is a super interesting design choice and it’s just a really cool deck.
The first day I began watching your videos I instantly became a fan of Jackson Robinson’s work. I immediately subscribed to his service and can not wait to receive more of his decks!
You introduced me to provision playing cards, it was the first video that I watched on your channel. I obviously knew theory 11 but just hadn't seen the provisions and I really like them!
You have introduced me to MANY new decks that I have purchased. Royal Mischief is one I would not have known about if not for your review. As far as designers, yes... Stockholm17 is a designer I found out about because of you. I have many of his decks now and I am expecting my Parlour decks and the last RAVN decks I needed this week. I like your choices for this video and I'm glad you're back! P.S. I love the video for the Keymaster Tarot.
Amazing gathering of decks! You definitely opened my eyes to Patrick Valenza. Wish I would have known about that deck. Not often you see a transformation deck! Thanks TGW
This channel introduced me to Lotrek and his work with the video covering the Arabesque deck. My wallet has since felt much lighter than it did before 😅 your top 10 decks of 2018 led to a few additions to my collection and I think this year's shall as well... Excellent quality content as always 👍
Hey I’m actually new to your channel. Love the content. You actually introduced me to a whole lot of new decks. But my favorite by far is De Novo. Definitely getting some of those. Keep up the good work
King's Wild has been a recent study of mine starting with the Jerry's Nuggets varient. I've picked up 3 of their decks and look forward to see what they have this year
Incredible top ten selection - so many talented artists out there - I was happy to see black magic made the intro at least :). keep up the good work and thank you for these videos!
I was a magician that found Kickstarter playing cards through a review of the Bitcoin Puzzle that Chris Ramsay did. I started backing cards and eventually found the Parlour Playing Cards and then your channel. You have introduced me to many amazing designers, my favorites being Lotrek, Jackson Robinson, and Stockholm17.
I really love your videos, especially the top 10 list, and of course I always watch your reviews if I should buy one of the decks. Keep up the good work
Great video. I knew some of the decks, but the one that stuck out to me was the Standard. Man I love that tuck case design plus i really like reddish decks in general. The cards themselves have amazing figures especially the queens, kings and jacks. The fact that they are related to Britain make them even better.
Thanks for another great year Mr. Wake! I'd never really looked into Jody Eklund's decks before seeing Luminosity, and have since come to think they are pretty cool! Looking forward to when his Sovereign decks come out. Perhaps we'll see a review on them in the future? :) Keep up the great work. Here's to 2020! PS. Excited about Lotrek's involvement with your next deck!
Fantastic video as always! TGW introduced me to one of my top 3 decks of 2019 that wasn't included (out of admirable integrity) The Parlour playing cards! 🥰
I only found your channel late last year. One of the decks you introduced me to were the Butterfly playing cards. Best of luck with al, of your ventures this year and onwards Mr. Wake.
Actually I knew most of the decks (but don't own them😭😂) , but from the decks I did not knew there was one for that I am very thankful for beeing introduced by you, and that is the Chronos deck, because this is the most beautiful deck of cards I have ever seen. I also want to say that I love your videos and that these videos are the main reason why I was getting into playing cards. So thank you for your videos.
You've introduced me to Rick Davidson. I've heard of these annual decks but haven't researched them too much. This iteration looks great and will be looking for his future offerings. Great vid!
This video was pretty much all new to me. And I cant wait till the kickstarter campaign will start!! Also, almost about all the decks were pretty much new. Lotrek is also new and had some AMAZING designs. This is my list of cards (for 2020) to try and save up for! Great video and (not gonna lie) amazing content. Really looking forward to these cards.
Most of these decks are new to me as I'm new to the channel, but what stood out most to me is the 2019 NPCC deck as I find the harden ink is very cool and unique. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Only really knew about Theory 11 and King's Wild Project before this video! Thanks for opening my eyes to the beautiful world of cardistry, magic and card collecting!
After seeing thirdway industries' Monolith deck I did my research on their other decks and Boy do I love them all! Thank you for introducing them to me!
Believe it or not Lotrek is new to me out of all the designers listed lol. I've seen a couple of his decks throughout 2019 but never paid attention to the designer. He definitely deserves attention. Thanks for the awesome video, this was suggested to me by RUclips and for once was a great suggestion on their part! Your production quality is top notch and I will definitely be watching all your videos. Thanks!
Honestly, this channel has been one of my favorites of 2019. Whenever I was curious about buying a new deck, you were the go to channel to see if it was quality. Thanks for all you do, and have a happy 2020!

Soooooo can we just talk about the production value in this video? Everything was so fluid and smooth. You knocked this one out of the park man!
Great video!! You introduced me top Steve Minty and the Ascension series. Thank you for that! I've backed these new Ascension v2 kick starter and can't wait for those tuck cases! Keep up the great work Wake!
You've introduced Kings Wild Project to me and now I'm almost broke
You introduced me to the Kings Wild deck, and I immediately rushed to their website to purchase one.

I have loved cards since i was a little kid but you have shown me some amazing decks that i never knew existed so thanks! My peronal favourite has to be the Monolith deck, i love the design. The review was fantastic and im glad i found your videos.
I had never seen or heard of UUSI I and think your right about that deck in this video is one I'm really looking to get my hands on now. Keep up the great work. Love what you do.
I am from Greece and I didn't know playing cards were printed or even designed here so you have introduced me to Chronos playing cards and I think they are super cool!! Thank you for putting forward such exceptional playing cards keep up the good work!
I actually started watching your videos and collecting playing cards at the end of 2019. My first deck purchase was the blue wheels deck. Now I have 16 decks and it’s growing fast. My favorite deck is the little deck of horrors. It was a free deck with one of my orders but once I had them I loved them. I watched your video after I ordered and loved the humor your wife brought to the channel. My wife calls this deck the boo deck lol Thank you for showing me so many classy decks!
The Gentleman rocks!!! I am a 68 yr old Grandma, lifelong canasta player and never new there was so much to learn about playing cards until I discovered The Gentleman Wake channel! Fantastic video, fabulous content, wonderful Gentleman & Wife too!!
Your Videos are just amazing , I came across one of you videos yesterday by god knows how, and now I am hooked to your high quality content and soothing presentation (watched more than 15 videos within 2 days), I would admit I was not a card fan but after watching the designs of the Novo, kings wild, standards, monolithic, ascention, order , chronos (these took my heart away) , luminosity (just wow), entertainer, all of these for the first time ever, I have to admit, I found a new world. Thanks for your amazing content.
Holy-
I disappeared from the cardistry community for a couple of months due to schooling and lost touch on the latest decks and looking to throw myself back into the gist of things and I am absolutely blown away by Steve Minty and the signature Ascension deck. I would have never fathomed the 3D look and how intricate it is.
Bonkers.
Cannot wait to get back into the community, another fantastic video!
And your own deck is definitely belongs in the top 3!
You've actually introduced me to all these new decks as I am a starting magician and card collector😁😁
I’m so glad you introduced me to lotrek! I had no idea there were such beautiful cards out there. Also, a little side note, I finally found a black parlour deck and I’m sooooo stoked to have it come in, fantastic job!
Wow this video was amazing. I was really into cards in 2019, but this year I wasn't so interested in it anymore. I used to watch your channel in 2019, but this video made me come back to the card producing world. I didnt really know any of these designer, but would be amazingly happy to get these decks
I’m a new collector and you have introduced me to a whole new world. I’ve only been paying attention to mass produced decks, so everything you presented here besides the Standards is new to me. Thank you for the elegant content of fascinating new decks. Hopefully I can add those 6 to my collection :)
You introduced me to the NOC 3000X1's, and it's my favourite NOC to date! Your reviews are so professional, and it's obvious that you put a lot of work into them!
All of these decks are incredibly stunning! I knew none of them but now you've taken me into a new world of playing cards =D
The black monolith got me into collecting cards. I only have 2 decks right now so I'm very new at this but I love Cardistry and love your in depth analysis of cards. Thank you for introducing me to do many amazing decks.
Been collecting Playing Cards for a number of years and a Kickstarter enthusiast for the past three. You have introduced me to The Gentleman Wake and I have to make up for lost time. I have subscribed and now got to get back to your channel and reviews.
Wow! 😳 🤩 Almost all of these were new to me! I only knew two of these gorgeous decks! 😍 What a list! Thank you!
Thanks to your video I was introduced to the National playing card collection day decks. Keep these videos coming! Love them
You introduced me to Kevin yu with his amazing tuck box design, the video was a review on the Esther star playing cards which hit me interested in his work and have backed his Phoenix Kickstarter campaign and his current trident and sword Kickstarter campaign.
Not only that but your channel was what got me into card collecting, I don’t have a lot of cards because I can’t really afford to go buying all these different master pieces but I do plan on growing my collecting when I can in the future.
Thank you and keep up these amazing videos 👍
You introduced me to Jackson Robinson with his Kings wild back to school playing cards! I love the old school style of it, and having a daughter myself I love how he involved his family that way!!!
You have sparked my interest in the world of cards and how beautiful and interesting they can be, so i guess you have introduced me to the whole world of my playing cards, thank you for that. I have also started a collection of decks as well but probably not as big as yours.
I knew most of these but you introduced me to the pagan deck and I NEED to get my hands on a royal mischief deck as well. Great list and I can't wait to back your next campaign!
TGW you have introduced me to so many decks. One that I would not have looked at otherwise would be the Royal Mischief deck. I love the deck now and it sits in my collection!
You made me discover the National Playing Cards Collection Day 2019 and since then I dream of its intricate tiles and motifs! What a beautiful travel to Morocco. Thank you for your videos!
You’ve honestly introduced me to a lot of decks of which many are sitting on a wishlist waiting for me to splurge and buy
The designer you've introduced me to came in this video was Gio! I like the look of those Order decks and may need to grab myself a set! Thanks for the great content as always Gentleman!
Hi Gentleman, it's always a pleasure to hear you talking about playing cards...your voice is so passionate that anyone that hear you immediately become a playng cards lover!
I'm really proud to have the StandardS one (thanks to your video review), the Order form Thirdway Industries (I'm a real fan of Giovanni, and I'm pledging all his projects on KS!), Luminosity...I'm certainly going to take the De Novo deck, thanks again for your wonderful reviews.
I'm new in the world of unique playing cards. I was looking around on RUclips to learn more about cards and found your account. You've learned me a lot already and all the cards you mentioned were new to me, I loved the cards with Nordic influence. You sparked my interest to learn and collect more special decks of cards. I'm probably to late fore the giveaway but I'm definitely subscribing!!
You've actually introduced me to all of these decks as my interest in playing cards is brand new and I've decided to start a collection due to the monolith deck and the luminosity deck
Also i've found quite an interest in Giovanni Maroni's decks in particular as I enjoy the art style. Great Video
A deck you introduced me to was from your top ten list last year, “The Dead Man’s Deck”. The bullet hole is a super interesting design choice and it’s just a really cool deck.
The first day I began watching your videos I instantly became a fan of Jackson Robinson’s work. I immediately subscribed to his service and can not wait to receive more of his decks!
You introduced me to provision playing cards, it was the first video that I watched on your channel. I obviously knew theory 11 but just hadn't seen the provisions and I really like them!
You have introduced me to MANY new decks that I have purchased. Royal Mischief is one I would not have known about if not for your review. As far as designers, yes... Stockholm17 is a designer I found out about because of you. I have many of his decks now and I am expecting my Parlour decks and the last RAVN decks I needed this week. I like your choices for this video and I'm glad you're back! P.S. I love the video for the Keymaster Tarot.
Amazing gathering of decks! You definitely opened my eyes to Patrick Valenza. Wish I would have known about that deck. Not often you see a transformation deck! Thanks TGW
This channel introduced me to Lotrek and his work with the video covering the Arabesque deck. My wallet has since felt much lighter than it did before 😅 your top 10 decks of 2018 led to a few additions to my collection and I think this year's shall as well... Excellent quality content as always 👍
The Luminosity deck by Jody Eklund blew us away, and we had not heard of it before!
Here's to another year of amazing videos from you!
Hey I’m actually new to your channel. Love the content. You actually introduced me to a whole lot of new decks. But my favorite by far is De Novo. Definitely getting some of those. Keep up the good work
King's Wild has been a recent study of mine starting with the Jerry's Nuggets varient. I've picked up 3 of their decks and look forward to see what they have this year
Incredible top ten selection - so many talented artists out there - I was happy to see black magic made the intro at least :). keep up the good work and thank you for these videos!
I was a magician that found Kickstarter playing cards through a review of the Bitcoin Puzzle that Chris Ramsay did. I started backing cards and eventually found the Parlour Playing Cards and then your channel. You have introduced me to many amazing designers, my favorites being Lotrek, Jackson Robinson, and Stockholm17.
I really love your videos, especially the top 10 list, and of course I always watch your reviews if I should buy one of the decks. Keep up the good work
Great video. I knew some of the decks, but the one that stuck out to me was the Standard. Man I love that tuck case design plus i really like reddish decks in general. The cards themselves have amazing figures especially the queens, kings and jacks. The fact that they are related to Britain make them even better.
Thanks for another great year Mr. Wake! I'd never really looked into Jody Eklund's decks before seeing Luminosity, and have since come to think they are pretty cool! Looking forward to when his Sovereign decks come out. Perhaps we'll see a review on them in the future? :) Keep up the great work. Here's to 2020! PS. Excited about Lotrek's involvement with your next deck!
Your videos really does have high production value and the rest of yt world are missing out on something very spectacular. Hope you have more subs.
You introduced me to Seasons playing cards and NPCCD this year, and thanks to you i am a big fan of thirdway industry and stockholm 17
Fantastic video as always! TGW introduced me to one of my top 3 decks of 2019 that wasn't included (out of admirable integrity) The Parlour playing cards! 🥰
I only found your channel late last year. One of the decks you introduced me to were the Butterfly playing cards. Best of luck with al, of your ventures this year and onwards Mr. Wake.
Actually I knew most of the decks (but don't own them😭😂) , but from the decks I did not knew there was one for that I am very thankful for beeing introduced by you, and that is the Chronos deck, because this is the most beautiful deck of cards I have ever seen.
I also want to say that I love your videos and that these videos are the main reason why I was getting into playing cards. So thank you for your videos.
The luminosity cards are amazing! I just subscribed to this channel and already watched several videos! Please keep it going!
Love your videos!! I'm new to collecting and have my eyes open by your video. Recently added the Luminosity deck. Beautiful!!!
You've introduced me to Rick Davidson. I've heard of these annual decks but haven't researched them too much. This iteration looks great and will be looking for his future offerings. Great vid!
This video was pretty much all new to me. And I cant wait till the kickstarter campaign will start!! Also, almost about all the decks were pretty much new. Lotrek is also new and had some AMAZING designs. This is my list of cards (for 2020) to try and save up for! Great video and (not gonna lie) amazing content. Really looking forward to these cards.
Mr. Wake you introduced me to Lotrek, Thirdway Industries, and Uusi this year, and I am blown away by their creativity. So gorgeous. Thank you!
Most of these decks are new to me as I'm new to the channel, but what stood out most to me is the 2019 NPCC deck as I find the harden ink is very cool and unique. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Never heard of the entertainers playing cards before or even The Experts Playing Cards Company. Now I need those. ❤️ love the work keep it up ❤️
WoW lots of great decks. I love the iconic look and simplicity of the Kings Wild Back to school. Thank you!
Only really knew about Theory 11 and King's Wild Project before this video! Thanks for opening my eyes to the beautiful world of cardistry, magic and card collecting!
After seeing thirdway industries' Monolith deck I did my research on their other decks and Boy do I love them all! Thank you for introducing them to me!
Yeah you definitely introduced me to Lotrek, those other decks you showed off looked sick! I especially have my eye on that Silk deck.
Believe it or not Lotrek is new to me out of all the designers listed lol. I've seen a couple of his decks throughout 2019 but never paid attention to the designer. He definitely deserves attention. Thanks for the awesome video, this was suggested to me by RUclips and for once was a great suggestion on their part! Your production quality is top notch and I will definitely be watching all your videos. Thanks!
