Standard Size Card Matte Sleeves | 100 CT - Smooth & Tough Premium TCG Sleeves - Compatible with Pokemon, Flesh & Blood, One Piece & Magic The Gathering | Sapphire Matte

I really love the color of these, that copper metallic feel is absolutely sick and does feel reminiscent of what I imagine a copper or bronze dragons scale color to be. Lost my first 3 games with the deck I played but won’t take away a star for that. They shuffle well, work with my KMC perfect fit sleeves to create a very good seal. They feel good and in my experience they last a while. 100 pack lets me make 2x40 card decks which is nice since I have to buy less sleeves. Keeps the cards from bending after being unboxed as well. These fit into my storage box, have not shown signs of wear. Between these and my katana sleeves, I prefer the feel of the Katanas and the look of these. If I were to buy another set of either, honestly the price would be the decider (I play games that have low shuffle, but if I was to play a shuffle heavy game I would use the katanas they shuffle better in my opinion.

When I buy cheaper sleeves to save money I usually end up replacing them with dragon shield later anyway . Durable and fit great. Product has been consistent in shape and color.

Heard a few reviews that characterized Dragon Sleeves as particularly tricky and frustrating to double sleeve, but I have found a few tricks that worked really well for me, and as a result going forward I will absolutely be buying as many Dragon Shields as I can for double sleeving my constructed decks. One thing I will say is I would probably either not use these sleeves for double sleeving at a Limited deck format, or if I did I would choose to only single sleeve with them, because although these work arounds were a total game-changer for getting the job done, they did take a little more time and jiggering before they were ready to play with. Not a huge deal tho, I mean who double sleeves in Limited anyway. So here's my tips... 1. Use a hard surface to press the sleeved card into the second sleeve - so the most common issue I had was when pushing the sleeved card into the second sleeve was my pressing would force the card to slide out of the inner sleeve and into the bottom part of the second sleeve without being covered anymore. So at the top of the final double sleeved card now there would be a floppy, empty inner sleeve that you couldn't force into the Dragon Shield sleeve because it wasn't holding a solid card anymore. It was like a short little wind sock stuck poking out of the top. One way to fix this was to flip the card over when it was less than half way through the second sleeve and use a table or something to push it evenly through the second sleeve, instead of pushing it with you finger or hand. Be super careful you are pushing it through straight and not more on one side than the other, and that you are applying as little pressure as possible to the Dragon Shield, because that pressure makes the sleeve a little tighter fit. This is way harder to describe in type than it is to show, but if you figure this out it will make life a little easier for sleeving. 2. KMC inner sleeves are NOT that consistent - This was a massive revelation for me, if you have a particular card that is being super stubborn and keeps sliding out of the inner sleeve as you push it through the Dragon Shield, try using a different KMC inner sleeve. It's crazy how often this was the problem. In my testing the inconsistency was never once on the Dragon Shield side, but always always on KMC. I would say just buy extra inner sleeves so you can cull out all the janky oversized ones you find and maybe save those for cards you plan to sleeve for shipping or decide to sleeve with more generous outer sleeves. I saved mine for Ultra Pro Eclipse, which are way easier to double sleeve but I don't like as much as Dragons. 3. You can actually stretch the sleeves a little... kinda - I'm sure this isn't recommended by Dragon Shield or by super fastidious players who probably want an absolutely ideal seal on their sleeved cards, but I found that if you have an inner sleeve that absolutely WILL NOT go into an outer sleeve (to repeat I am positive the issue here is the KMC being randomly a little bigger than average and not one Dragon Shield being smaller) I found that putting 2 or 3 unsleeved cards into the sleeve and pushing them all the way to the bottom, then taking them out, sufficiently stretches the Dragon Shield enough to slide a sleeved single card in later. I would work out a system where I would stuff 5 Dragon Shields with 3 basic lands each and set them aside while I put inner sleeves on a few cards, then after a minute or two I took out the lands and then my sleeved cards would slide in much easier. 3 seems to be the magic number here, 2 would work sometimes and I guess technicalyl would deform your sleeves less, but I wanted to save a little time by just doing 3 each from the start. After stretching the cards were way easier to double sleeve, but not so easy that I felt like I completely deformed the Dragon Shield sleeve, but about on par with an inner/outer sleeve pairing that happened to be randomly smooth and easy out of the box, because along the way you'll run into a lot of those as well. 4. Sleeve as best you can, get air out, then sleeve again later - if you have a card/inner/outer sleeve combo that's just being super difficult and don't want to stuff the sleeve to stretch it, another way to stretch is to just double sleeve as best as you can, even if there is a little wind sock of inner sleeve still poking out of the top, and then smoosh the sleeved card or cards flat under a stack of books to force out the air for a few hours, then unsleeve and resleeve them again. Pushing the air out I find not only flattens the sleeved cards, but also makes the inner/outer sleeves a little more agreeable with one another. I put books on my fiished sleeves to get that extra air out anyway, it makes the deck way smaller, flatter and less likely to tip over when stacked as a library. As a product review, I prefer Dragon Shield because they come in sets of 100 and have a really high quality relative to other brands I've used. It doesn't hurt that they also come in more interesting colors than other brands, and these new sky blue ones are pretty striking. They're not quite as light as I thought they would be given how pale the blue on the box is, I would say they are way closer to the blue used on the frames of actual blue cards in mtg, whereas regular non-sky blue would be a little closer to like a pepsi can color or slightly darker. I really like this color for use with a blue or mostly blue and colorless deck. But again, hearing about the double sleeving issue was almost a deal-breaker for me because my preference is to always double up to protect from potential water damage, and if these sleeves were incompatible with that they would be useless to me, but with these hacks I will totally be buying Dragons whenever possible going forward!

Recently bought these sleeves for double sleeving my modern mtg deck but had heard a few things about dragon shields being frustrating and difficult to sleeve doubley (is that a word?), and I wanted to address some of those complaints given my experience with these, because I've found a few work-arounds and noticed some things that I wish I knew going into the sleeving process that make it super do-able and can help you enjoy the best sleeves on the market as well as the added security of double sleeving. Here are some hacks that I worked out in my sleeving process.... (using KMC Perfect Size for the inner sleeves) 1. Use a hard surface to press the sleeved card into the second sleeve - so the most common issue I had was when pushing the sleeved card into the second sleeve, my pressing would force the card to slide out of the inner sleeve and into the bottom part of the second sleeve without being covered anymore.

It doesn't hurt that they also come in more interesting colors than other brands, and these new purple ones are pretty striking. They have an almost metallic sheen to them on the back, but still textured and nice. I really like them with a black deck personally. But again, hearing about the double sleeving issue was almost a deal-breaker for me because my preference is to always double up to protect from potential water damage, and if these sleeves were incompatible with that they would be useless to me.

We’ve had these for some time now and they’re the best card sleeves we have. They seem to protect the cards well but they also allow for shuffling. Great for playing cards

As always these are great sleeves. Perfect size and fit for MTG, even double sleeving them was easy. Great finish, feel and color.

Great sleeves in terms of color options and longevity, but note that not all sleeve colors shuffle the same. In particular, it is difficult to overhand shuffle the metallic sleeves (sapphire, gold, copper, amethyst, ruby) since the borders are thicker and flatter, preventing cards from seamlessly gliding into one another. This is not an issue with the other Matte color options.

Good sleeves but after a month of playing, they're soo hard to shuffle. Sleeves half the price don't have this issue.

Muy buenas, mi hijo dice que son perfectas para sus Magic, volveré a comprar más cantidad para las que le quedan

Parfait pour sleeve les cartes du jeu heroquest

Top tier sleeves, durable with great shuffle feel. Can’t go wrong with Dragon Shield Matte.

Ho deciso di provare le dragonshield dopo mesi di sleeves economiche, la differenza si nota più di quanto pensassi. La dimensione è perfetta per double sleeves con le perfect fit trasparenti, al tatto sembrano quasi di carta e si mescolano che è una meraviglia. La confezione dichiara 100 buste ma ce ne sono due in più, non è molto ma fa comunque piacere.
