The Blood Metal Edition is definitely one of the most beautiful and unusual decks on the market and a MUST for card collectors and card lovers.
This deckis designed for collecting purposes only, however if you intend to use them for poker or other uses, then allow 30 - 45 minutes breaking in time. This deck is one of the first ever to use this particular stock and finish combination with gilding printed by the USPC. The stock and finish is the same as the other high quality Blades. The gilding process is applied last and will cause the cards to stick and clump very badly in the beginning.
They must be broken apart and worked in through shuffles and other handling before they will perform. Once broken in, these cards in our opinion handle exceptionally well for a gilded deck. However these are not intended for manipulation.
If it's performance that you are looking for, we highly recommend the "Blood Edition" also found in our product list which is designed for this purpose.
