Harry Potter Playing Cards - Theory11 - Deck Review!

[@quinnworthington3306]

They should have put Fred and George together on one joker and Peeves on the other one

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

That would have been a great way to do it!

[@aniruddhamandalkillerman0107]

4:06 Spell underneath the seal is expelliarmus

[@steakfriesyt2474]

I was thinking the same thing about them not giving Dumbledore the elder wand

[@CaptainCardMagician]

These decks are soooo dopeee!!!!!Amazing Deck Review Man!!!!Subscribed

[@diamond6256]

I just ordered all 4. I think they should have a HOUSE deck with the teachers and bad guys. (death eaters)

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Nice job on the review - hi would have missed some things

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

Thanks - glad I could help catch a thing or two!

[@kimwonbran]

I honestly think theory 11 could of been way smarter with the way they designed the cards. Like it doesn’t make sense that the hearts have Helga Hufflepuffs cup and then you have the THREE MAIN gryffindors as the court cards.

[@ScummyRebel]

I believe Ravenclaw is blue and bronze, and Slytherin is silver with green. But yeah the foil accents easily should’ve matched the house colors. I do wonder what the hufflepuff tuck would look like if they used yellow as the tuck color with black foil accents.

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

Ok...so ALL this time and I never realized the second Ravenclaw color was bronze rather than silver. Shame on me for that one! Great call on the Hufflepuff tuck - that I think would have been a really interesting color combo.

[@17magicchick]

So amazing. Gonna finally crack one up today at work. Hopefully on break!! 👍👌

[@nimeshmeghnani1416]

Ok how do u even open that sea without ripping

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

I use an x-acto knife to get a clean cut on them.

[@alexreddington8239]

Can you link the artists websites? I found Russ Gray but no one else :(

[@GiuliaPaggins]

Hi, how many cards are there in a deck? :) thanksss

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

Standard deck includes 52 cards and anywhere from 1-4 “extra” cards (jokers, ad cards, etc) depending on printer.

[@zachrichardson8059]

These decks are easily some of the best Theory 11 has produced in a long while. The Star Wars decks are genuinely awful. The Avengers, red deck specifically, is decent. The Beatles are alright, but these are far above any of them. And of course I had to grab all 4. You can't just get one, you need the whole set.

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

Well said!

[@themeanlesbeann]

I got 2 of each. One set for my collection and the other set I'll keep sealed to sell for a profit down the road once they're out of production 😁

[@haydnmclennan4739]

why red? just personal preference over purple?

[@zachrichardson8059]

@@haydnmclennan4739 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the purple look. I think the red just looks cleaner.

[@jeanhubertgazon]

You're so right the star wars decks are terrible there are just so many mistakes an a tremendous lack of creativity 🤣😭

[@schuylermartin77]

Expelliarmus on the top, and the subtle nod to the marauders on the front of the case

[@patrickrrmiller]

Nice video. I think I'll be getting some. Minor corrections: It's Dark Mark rather than Death Mark. Ravenclaw, blue and bronze, Hufflepuff, yellow and black.

[@ch0c081]

Hi I really love your videos, can you make a video of how you started collecting playing cards and how someone like me that is pretty new to magic and playing cards can collect cards and where to get these amazing cards, BTW I'm from South Africa and really love your content🇿🇦

[@manqk628]

i dont know why everybody like these decks, i wish they were more creative, to do for each house individually and did not change colors only so that you could have really nice collection

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

I understand the sentiment for sure. But I do still think these are beautifully executed regardless - and 14 distinct characters is impressive in its own right. I will say - you’d have to stretch to get enough distinctive and memorable characters for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. But an all Gryffindor deck would be amazing!

[@manqk628]

@@TheCardGuyReviews yeah thats totally true

[@zachrichardson8059]

Compared to the recent decks they've produced, these are far and away the best they've produced in a long while. Also, it being Theory 11, you should never expect completely unique decks in a series. All will be the same regardless of tuck.

[@berenvalari]

@@TheCardGuyReviews They couldhave added some color to the courts and maybe done the characters at different stages in the story. like slitherin deck courts could have had darker theme/coloring etc. Could have probably done that just with different shading and coloring. I think it fells kinda low effort as with the Star Wars decks.

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

@@berenvalari I wouldn't put this in the same category as the Star Wars deck, but I understand the thought. It's much more comparable artistically to something like Contraband - tons of intricate detail to appreciate throughout. Definitely not low effort in my opinion. While I think I understand why they stopped where they did, the character selection could have certainly gone deeper. I've thought a long time (way more than I care to admit) about how this could have more equally celebrated the houses - maybe with each suit being dedicated to a house solely...or even each deck featuring ALL characters from that house. The sticking point for me becomes that the story is SO tilted to characters from Gryffindor followed by Slytherin...that it would be difficult to "balance" the decks so to speak. And even a Slytherin deck - in the spirit of Hogwarts I'm not quite sure that it's right to treat it as a Death Eater deck or anything. So even there, I would like to see a deck that more celebrates the noble traits of each house to some degree. I don't know. It's complicated. Character selection is both interesting and well done to a degree, but also didn't go as far as I would have liked. So love the art personally...love so much about the decks...but it certainly could have been more. It's still a genuinely great deck in my mind, but could have been legendary. And...I'll stop rambling now!

[@isaacwright4910]

You're right! the wand on the left on the tuck case is voldemort's. the other is harry's

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

It made plenty of logical sense as I was saying it… 😅

[@Batosai11489]

Excellent review. I'm always impressed with the amount of subject matter knowledge you bring to the reviews.

[@arcyarcanine]

They missed such a simple and easy opportunity by not giving the Slytherin and Ravenclaw tucks silver instead of gold.

[@evansphenomenal]

Not even one character from the Hufflepuff house eh? I'm a Hufflepuff myself, so that's a bummer

[@hamerray]

The big disappointment about this deck is is the court cards they’re all in black-and-white, except the diamonds and hearts.

[@brittanyking3524]

Does anyone know if this will be a limited series or will it be on theory’s website from now on? Cuz I know I’m getting my house but eventually want to get the other houses.

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

I cannot imagine this will be a highly limited series. The market is just too big (way more than just playing card collectors). They will print the heck out of this deck and I think you’ll see it showing up in retailers, amusement parks, etc.

[@coybi]

What's with the irritatingly loud music?

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

I try. Maybe I am just terrible at this. 😂

[@Maddym365]

Does anyone know which characters are on the Hufflepuff decks?

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

All four decks have the same characters on them. I do wish they had done different characters to match each house!

[@barrettreynolds1530]

How come Ginny Weasley isn’t on one of the cards

[@raphaelmikusch3361]

Under the gold it says expelliarmus

[@yuvrajbhatt155]

Are they plastic or paper made ?

[@darrenbaharrizkii]

where is cedric

[@bradsquirrel7923]

Another great review. While I am a big Harry Potter fan, this didn't really speak much to me. That said, I did enjoy the review.

[@TheCardGuyReviews]

Thanks, Brad! We disagree on this one for sure. I loved the art all the way through here.
