Out of all the kinds of playing cards that are out there, “linen finish” are deceptively bad. They look and feel so nice and classy but they become really hard to shuffle, and they’re not very durable.
Not to be confused with air cushion which is one of the many other types of cards that are good.
As an example of bad cards: The Crew, Mission Deep Sea have cards that are pretty hard to deal out because the cards catch on each other.
