The Guardians hold a special place in my heart. It the first deck released by theory11. Being a part of the hype around it and theory11 at the time was astounding. Additionally, it was also released at several retail stores as well, which in my eyes, showed how theory11 was reaching a "common person's" market. I was in high school at the time, going through my "emo phase," (lol) so the darker design was attractive to me. Plus, the finish felt very different; almost waxy, which was refreshing.
