I have finally earned enough elite points to pick up one of the following decks from the Theory 11 archive.
5th and Laurel (5,000 pts)
Brown Wynn (6,000 pts)
Madison Players (7,500 pts)
Since we have no idea what the print runs on any of these decks are (or at least I don't) just wondering which deck you would pick up if you did not own any of them.
Thanks in advance for your opinion. I am disappointed they got rid of the Gold Monarchs just a couple of weeks ago or else I would have gone for that one for sure.

I do not know how helpful would this be, but since I collect mostly for the desgin and the art, I'd go for the 5th and Laurel.
Never cared much for casino decks, and I've already got a couple of Madisons from Ellusionist.

I advise heavily against the Madison Players.
I would personally choose the Brown Wynn deck, but 5th and Laurel also seems nice. IMO you can't go wrong with 1 of those 2.

Re: Theory 11 Archive Decks - Poll
The Madison Players deck is from the beginning of his foray into these kinds of decks, and it was the first time he used his monogram icon to be a back design pattern, iirc. This is a marked deck, and the marking system is interesting. (They aren't readers; you actually have to think a little bit, but they are neither hard to read nor hard to remember how to decode.)TwoPiece wrote:I advise heavily against the Madison Players.

I know that there's a lot of hate here for Madison, but marketing hype and goth persona aside, he seems like a decent enough bloke and these cards are an example of a decent enough marked deck.
