A very geeky question

Are magic cards standard index (i.e. sized like Bycycle cards) or bridge index (SLIGHTLY thinner)?

pic Bridge on the left, standard on the right.
 
BTW, 'standard' isn't really the standard anymore -- I think the printers make just as many bridge index as standard index these days. As for what the casinos use -- it depends on the casino, but the trend is bridge for poker, standard for all other card games.
 
I'd say they are the bigger ones, but I haven't measured any of them. Don't have any handy either... Maybe I've got some in my car though, I'll check in a bit. If I remember and am extremely bored. 😛

Any idea why that is? Just a popular trend, or is there some advantage to the slimmer cards?

In bridge the slimmer size helps when you got 13 cards in your hand, but no clue why poker tables use them.
