The Classic Cultures are also my favorite "modern" deck, but the new bridge/jumbos have a very different feel. I PM'd Jason about this after playing with them at the Alamo, and he informed me that he had a lot of complaints about the "smoothness" of the Classic Cultures when they were first released. This is a bit of a bummer to me, because the smoothness is what gives the CCs that Kem-esque feel.
Anyway, due to the complaints he changed the material for the Classic Victorians in 2013. As such, the bridge/jumbos have a more Copag-y feel, which is a little more grainy/sandy... if that makes sense.
Not a bad thing. Just different from the Classic Cultures.
