I got the notice as well... Would only try these if they made a four-color version. Also the description does not really spell out in verifiable detail what makes these better than the 3.0 or earlier FS versions:

"Faded Spade FSX poker playing cards are the best playing cards in the world. FSX offers an intentional balance of thickness and flexibility not found in any other playing card on the market. In addition, FSX provides world-class slip, grip, and memory during gameplay, and an industry-leading strength for automatic shuffler longevity."

The concerns mentioned are many that I care about, such as texture and the balance between thickness and flexibility. But there are no specs or measurables given; they just expect us to trust their self-praising claims.

If anyone gets a setup, please report your impressions.

Absolutely zero information about what is different about these new FSX cards. Typical Faded Spade.

I've never owned any faded spade decks so I might get this to try it out but yeah I don't have anything to compare it too besides my copegs haha

Looks like they said each month will be a rollout of something else? But annoyed they rolled out poker size first and still no bridge…

Haven't really been the biggest fan of their prior versions. Much better options out there. Will be curious to hear from anyone that grabs these and trys them out. Agree, putting out poker size first was a lapse in judgment, at least imo

I know people like to hate on FS, but I actually quite like their 3.0 four-color poker sized decks and wish I could find some more setups.

I ordered a setup, will let you know what I think when they arrive.

I think they have the best artwork but would only recommend them for auto shufflers. Too stiff for hand shuffles. But they are my favorite.

I emailed support about this... they said:

"Each month a new FSX variation will be introduced and 4 color cards will debut within the next few months as well."

I'll be very interested to see how they differ from the 3.0s, once the four-color versions are released.

There's nothing different. Because they're all perfect.

First impressions... the box looks amazing. Gold foil and shadow artwork of a face card. There are two decks and a great cut card, black with gold foil artwork on it. At first I thought the decks were different thickness, but it was just the cardboard separating insert in the box that was uneven. They are a little thick, and stiff to shuffle (which doesn't bother me much), but I would definitely not rank them above current Desjgn decks in any category. Just my humble opinion.
