Top Ten Playing Card Decks of 2018

[@Stockholm17]

Very glad to be at the 1st place with the Gatekeeper! :D Thank you for the effort you put into this channel, great high quality entertaining reviews! And yes, The Parlour is going to be great too! :)

[@shaunfernandes8995]

where can i buy the gatekeeper deck ?

[@tvd-theremedy2515]

I agree, this channel is great, with some surprisingly high-quality production value. And Stockholm17- those cards are awesome as well. Good job, and please keep ‘em coming.

[@tvd-theremedy2515]

SHAUN FERNANDEZ I think I got my deck on Amazon, but I feel like I’ve seen them on eBay quite a bit too.

[@thegodgamer1650]

Honestly, this channel has been one of my favorites of 2018. 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 2019!

Thank you, GentlemanWake! It's a great pleasure to watch your videos and a great honor for Arabesque to be among the top 3 decks of your year's list :-)

[@TheGentlemanWake]

Thank you Lotrek! It's an honor to have you watch! Review for another Oath Playing Cards deck coming really soon!

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Good morning Gentleman Wake, in the last year (has it really been a year or close to a year already?) that I have been hooked on your reviews, I would be lying if I said that you introduced me to a single deck or designer, actually I think that in all this time i have seen only one deck I knew of before I saw you review it ... Like Lady Wake I'm shocked that so many decks existed and how far the deck industry has come (in just the last year) ... as always it's been a pleasure watching your post and a greater pleasure spending the year with both of you ... May you and all your loved ones have a 2019 full of love and wonder ...

When I first came to this channel I was unsure of what to expect because it was just a random suggestion but after seeing one or two videos I was blown away by the way that u reviewed the decks and picked out every little detail. I love ur content and ur reviews and you’ve introduced me to a LOTTT of new decks that I now own in my collection so thank you for everything that you’ve done this year. Good luck in 2019!!!!

Amazing video yet again! I started following your reviews in October and you introduced me pretty much every deck since then. One of my favourite decks of this year has to be the arabesque one. It has some of the most amazing designs and tuck cases I've seen.

I am incredibly happy to have found this channel. As someone who has only recently become fascinated with playing cards, it is wonderful to see so many creative and awesome deck designs. I am looking forward to all of your future videos.

[@bradbailey3235]

You have introduced me to a number of designers I was not familiar with, but one is Jaspas and the New Deck Order. Great decks. I am agreeing with you on the top three decks of the year, but not the order. I do agree about Jackson Robinson being the deck designer of the year. What an amazing production of great designs this year. Overall, it has been a great year for playing cards and your channel has been a great place to get a front row seat to many of them. Best wishes for a happy New Year for you and your wife. I'll see you on the flip side.

[@s_b156]

You have introduced me to a lot this year! When I didn't knew about your channel I just bought the playing cards I saw at the stores, but thanks to your videos I learned that there are a lot more amazing playing cards. Since then I became a collector.

Aww you can see the Gentleman’s eyes legitimately start to well up when talking about his dream of making playing cards. What a cool moment! Congrats buddy! I don’t remember how I found the channel but I have been a subscriber since the first episode I saw. The presentation is flawless and theire are so many cool decks that I didn’t even know about. I think the biggest is introducing us to Jackson Robinson, especially the interview you did. Here’s to 2019! Hope it’s great for you and the Gentleman’s Lady!

Thank you so much for such a great year of playing card reviews! I must agree, the House of the Rising Spade was my personal favorite deck of cards for 2018, as well as the deck of cards that introduced me to this channel. Ever since, I have gotten to see some of the most interesting and artistic works in the playing cards industry featured here, introducing me to likes of Lotrek and his Arabesque playing cards as well as many others. It was a great year for playing card releases, and I look forward to what next year brings! Keep up the great work!

Wake, you pretty much got me into collecting playing card. I’ve always been interested in card magic. Buying trick from penguin, vanishing inc and etc. But never paid too much attention to the playing card itself. As a person who has a degree in fine arts, I really appreciate the way you review card decks, how you critic art design and the overall design of what appears to be your living room, the lighting, color, pattern they all match perfectly. In terms of the question, like I said you introduced me to card collecting. I Brought over 30 decks this year since I started following your channel. Jackson Robinson is definitely one of my favorite artist, brought his Maduro, Arthurian, legal tender and kings wild tigers. I’m only able to grab Maduro’s limited edition, as all the others limited edition are sold out. Kings wild tigers is one of my favorite deck, and I’ve been looking for the limited edition for quite some times. It’s really generous of you to give away a deck this rare and amazing. Happy new year.

My favorite is the -DEAD MAN'S DECK- I love the bullet hole that goes through the middle of the entire deck!! AND IT HAS AN OLD BALL BEARING BULLET INCLUDED TOO!?! LoL thats such a representation of the old western type movies with them big oL revolvers, they had bullets just like a ball bearing too. Cant help but be reminded of the old rifle's they used back in the day with front loading single shot very similar to how big cannons are loaded and fired ;-) Thanks again for sharing your top 10 deck's of 2018, I am looking forward to what 2019 brings us! Happy New Year Gentleman & Lady Wake!!!

oof new playing cards by the GentlemanWake came across your channel later in the year, you deck review on Alex Pandrea's Summer NOCs is what made me get them. Looking forward to seeing more content in the future.

[@EstherJCepeda]

You've introduced me to the Maduro playing cards - adore that smoking king of Spades. I'd also not seen that Dead Man's Deck, which I seriously want now! I've subscribed and liked - looking forward to another 52 weeks of videos! Thanks

[@TheGentlemanWake]

Thanks for watching Esther!

Love your videos man! I'm a new subscriber and pretty new to card collecting so you've introduced me to a lot of cards. I really only knew of the Tally Hos and Tiger deck from this video, but one that I didn't know of that is really cool is the Dead Mans deck. Happy New Year!

[@TheGentlemanWake]

Welcome! Thanks for watching Jordan! May I ask, how did you find the channel?

I didn't even know kickstarter was a thing until I saw your channel so yeah, I've seen a lot of new decks on this channel. When I saw the bicycle coffee deck I found it and bought it because of this channel and I love it. Love the Videos, reviews and giveaways. Keep it up! ;)

Your review on the planets decks made me begin to order them slowly, so I'll eventually have the whole series, and it was watching your video that made me take the jump to get them!

[@jasonliu1644]

Thanks for the deck reviews man! I really loved your video on the Olive Tally Hos, they're one of my favourite decks now

[@freewind5294]

I am fairly new to playing card collecting and cardistry so naturally I haven't heard of Jackson Robinson but after looking at some of his decks online, I am blown away! No wonder he was your 2018 designer of the year. I immediately ordered a deck of Kings Wild Tigers after watching this video and I also want the dead mans deck. Loved every deck in the video. Keep up guys!

[@raphII2]

Honestly the only people I knew of before your channel were Chris Ramsay Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison. Oh and Dan and Dave. So you've introduced me to everybody else.

[@ecylee]

Amazing video as always. The very 1st video of yours I watched was the Dead Man's deck. I'm glad I watched your review as I wouldn't have thought to buy it when it was sold only on PCD. Glad I got my deck as it sold out quick! Been hooked to your channel ever since. Somehow we all love lists, for looking for more top 10s in 2019. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the Parlour deck!

[@tanktopdsp]

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. Dead Man's Deck is possibly my favorite that you've introduced, but not the only on my list that you had reviewed.

Your channel shurely is no.1 for deck review to go. Dead man`s deck is so awesome, hope to get one some day! Thanks for video & happy new year!

[@minnimuniz1966]

You introduced me to the Tigers deck. First time I became a donor or invested in a card project before they were even created. It was exciting to be an investor and the cards did not dissappoint. I'd love another deck and keep it sealed as a collection. Love your channel. Happy New Year.

[@brycemcneese8911]

You introduced me to Jackson Robinson and now I am obsessed with his cards

[@jasonkoudelka2578]

I want to say I love your reviews, getting to know more information about each deck. I have bought the DMC Elite because of your review and have plans to buy many more. Keep it up!

[@amyscarbalis6088]

You definitely introduced me to some new designers. I bought the House of the Rising Spade deck because of your videos. Can't wait for the Parlour deck.

[@benfrutchey]

So many of these decks were introduced to me! I haven’t heard of probably 3/4 of them. Love your channel! Ps. You have a parlor customer already😁👍

[@TheGentlemanWake]

Welcome! Might I ask how you found the channel?

[@benfrutchey]

TheGentlemanWake it was in my recommendations and I’m so glad it was

Happy New Year!! Subbed when you reviewed the 3 Tally-Ho decks and stayed ever since

[@brettmchan2855]

Awesome vid as usual man. Once I finally found your channel amd I started watching all your vids you put me on the dead mans deck that I love the design of!!!

[@anthonyjenkins4473]

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 House of the Rising Spade. Definitely getting some of those. Keep up the good work

[@TheGentlemanWake]

THanks Anthony! How'd you find the channel?

[@anthonyjenkins4473]

TheGentlemanWake I am a magic hobbyists and collect cards. You actually came across my feed. I clicked on it and glad I did. Not trying to stroke your ego lol but you do a good job of explaining each deck in its entirety not lacking any details. It is very obvious you are passionate about what you do. I can’t wait to see some more of your content.

[@TheGentlemanWake]

Anthony Jenkins thanks Anthony!

[@marcaocfh]

Red High Victorians from Target. Ran out and looked at multiple stores after watching your video! Happy New Year!

You introduced me to the re-designed Tally Ho decks and I too love the Olive edition! I also wasn’t as familiar with the Kings Wild project - and I agree that the Tigers deck is INCREDIBLE!

Hello gentleman wake, Im a poker player who has just begun to explore the world of card collecting and cardistry. With that being said you have introduced me to a huge number of designers and deck designs i had never seen before. Dan and dave of art of play and jaspas of the new deck order, just to name a few. Thank you for producing such quality videos and helping people like me enter the world of cards!!
