Just got my hands on the shadow masters performance finish deck!

i think it’s amazing, better than air-cushion finish.
it feels esay and smooth but not slippery like air-cusion. I like it a lot.
I’m so glad i got it.
it’s kind of funny but it doesn’t have the barcode… is it something new? or some of them just don’t have them?
oh and the ellusionist logo is different!

I ordered my shadow masters a week ago if it says air-coushin finish does that mean i dont have the new preformence coating?
Please help me out.

I recently bought a regular white ghost deck from a magic suplier in the UK, on the box it says: Air Cushion finish, before I bought that deck, I always had standard rider back cards, but I feel a little difference with the white ghost deck, it’s somewhat smoother… Also, from the same store, I bought the ghost gaff deck, that box claims to be the UV500 Airflow finish. And I must say the difference is huge! It almost seems like every single card floats on the card below it
But if I have to say wich one is the best for performance, I just can’t answer that. They’re equals to me. I haven; t used those new decks a lot yet, so I can’t say wich one is most durable. Conclusion: Whatever finish they have, the one that turns out to be the most durable will get my preference… not the one that has the best “flow”.

i just bought shadow masters with air cushion finish … unfortunately did not get my hands on the uv500 … but judging from the videos that i watched … uv500 is way better than the current …

[...] also some extra somethin’-somethin’ on these new Arcanes. The same Performance Coating on the black Arcanes and Shadow Masters is now on the white Arcanes. You are going to love how these feel. We think they will make you stop [...]

So does that mean a deck with a UV500 AIR-FLOW FINISH printed on the box(unopened)will be valuable or going to be a collector’s item years from now? If that’s the case then I have to purchase and use the NEW FINISH decks instead of the several decks that I have.(All with UV500 AIRFLOW FINISH on them. Unopened)

ive purchased most of the decks available on ellusionist. i have to say that so far, the deck with the most appealing finish ive worked with extensively is the white ghost deck. although, i have lacked in my use of most of the others, i admit this is a somewhat bias testimony.

Not sure if my deck has the new PV finish or not but, fact is that I recently bought a Shadow Masters and I usualy use a black marker on the edges of my black decks and this last one kept slipery while all others I had to manipulate them alot before they get the “new deck feeling” again. If so then I congratulate you guys on that. I’ve been using my new deck alot for the past 2 weeks and it keeps as a new one.
