Hey guys,
I'm going to do a review on an excellent deck called Jerry's Nugget (quite popular and expensive).These decks are very rare and I consider it a miracle that I have 3 bricks of these and I only opened 2 decks out of my 36.On to the review !
Credits for the template of this review goes to eostresh from Theory11.
Facts about this deck :
Printed : 1970s
Finish : Chemical Finish
Stock : Type No.1 Aristocrat (can't get exact name)
Quality : High
Quantity : Hard to obtain , expensive
Initial Impression : Once you open the deck , the very simple yet beautiful design of the deck greets you.The back of the deck has 2 pictures of oil towers and the word 'Jerry's' on them.They feel as as thin as a Tally-Ho but as stiff as a Bee Wynn for me.
Durability : This deck is very durable for me.I have been doing Jackson 5s , Pandoras , Vertigos , Carrahan Fans and Sybils for a few weeks at home and under the sun and the performance seems to be consistent enough.
Handling : This deck handles very well although the fanning ability will decrease as the cards collect dirt.These decks are excellent for cuts , maybe even better than the Bee Wynns.
Dribbles : It takes some effort to dribble them right out of the box but after a few dribbles , it should soften up a little bit and you can drible them easily again.
Fanning : 4/5
This deck fans well right out of the box but clumps up later.This can be a major problem if you like to fan cards.
Design : 5/5
Perfect design for flourishes.The pattern is still visible as the cards twirl and spin in the air while flourishing and it is a very simple design.
Spring moves : 3/5
An overall OK deck for springing but other decks spring better.
Flourishing : Excellent choice for flourishing for the reasons stated above as well as it holds cuts in a very secure manner.
Magic : 2/5
This deck is not really suitable for magic due to the stiffness at first and the fact that you don't want people to touch an expensive deck.
Ace of Spades : 4/5
Not a very fancy AoS design but is quite eye pleasing and simple.
Jokers : 4/5
Nothing special , similar to the backs of these cards.
Who should not buy : People who do pure magic , people who can't afford to buy this
Who should buy this : People who have the money , flourishes , XCMers , collectors , Dan and Dave fanboys (jk)
Final thoughts : Overall a nice deck for flourishing but not quite suitable for magic.This deck is set to last for a long time.
Please ask me any questions should u have one.
do u sell your Jerry's Nugget deck??
