I recently made a purchase of a few decks. For fun, I got an Ellusionist Shadow Masters deck.

It didn't feel quite as stout as I remembered my regular Masters Edition Deck, so I compared the 2 decks. The older, red-backed Masters deck was a clear 2 cards thicker than the Shadow Masters.

I also noticed that the thicker, red-backed Masters deck was made in Cincinnati, OH, while the recently obtained Shadow Masters Deck was made in Erlanger, KY.

I'm doing a little snooping around to see if I can obtain a Cincy-made Shadow Masters deck. Of course, I suppose it is possible that all Shadow Masters Decks were made in Erlanger.

Be interesting to see what comes up, perhaps.

My Shadowmaster's deck was made in Cincinatti, OH.

Forgot to mention I compared them to the Red Masters and both were the same thickness in the sealed deck box. Hope that helps.

Ah-HAH!

:)

Thanks for the info - I was curious about/suspected that.
