Quick answer
Choose the FISSION GREY Edition for a vintage-inspired look and a fresh take on the original design, or the FISSION Edition if you prioritize cardistry performance with a velvety finish.
Design and aesthetic differences
The FISSION Edition features the original bold, high-contrast design that sold out quickly. The FISSION GREY Edition reimagines that look with a vintage grey palette, giving the deck a more subdued, classic feel. If you prefer a modern, striking appearance, the original FISSION is your pick; for a timeless, elegant vibe, the GREY edition stands out.
Performance and intended use
The FISSION Edition is specifically marketed as the cardistry version, with a custom stock and velvety finish designed for sleight of hand and cardistry moves. The FISSION GREY Edition retains the same cardistry-friendly stock and finish, so performance is identical. Your choice here comes down to visual preference rather than handling differences.
