Dragon Shield | Standard Size Card Matte Sleeves | 100 - Smooth & Tough Premium TCG Sleeves | Compatible with Pokemon, Flesh & Blood, One Piece & Magic the Gathering | Aurora - Players' Choice 2023

Couldn't recommend Dragon Shield enough. I use these for actual decks I build and they fit perfectly. The cards don't slide off when stacked like cheaper sleeves. Sturdy, stable and fit sleeves that look and feel amazing when playing. I don't double sleeve my cards and I don't really feel like I need to with these. The finish on the back is great and I love the color. Not really expensive if you're planning on using these for decks you plan on using a lot. Came with about 103 sleeves so some extras just in case. If you plan on making a deck and putting in some money into it I would always recommend Dragon Shield for anyone!

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.

How I Used Them I bought these for my husband as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. He has been wanting to get back into Magic The Gathering (MTG), and I know that sleeves for those cards are vital so the cards don’t get damaged. He’s a casual player. What I/He Liked -Great simple and relatively cheap card sleeves-you get 100 for a cheaper price that perfectly fit each card and protect it from damage as you play -Cool brand/packaging- Dragon Shield is a well-known brand for card game players, and I like that each color has a dragon that represents it What Isn’t the Best -I wish there offered more cards that have cool fantasy designs on them! I love all the color choices, but would like a cool field, dragon, castle, etc. I feel like most designs end up being super cheesy. -They get some getting used to. They are slippery (which makes shuffling easier but they are easier to drop). The corners also stab my hands lol Final Thoughts 100% would buy these again and actually have since Christmas for my own set of MTG cards hehe–I got the Miasma color for myself and love them. Too bad they don’t have magical powers that make it so I win every game :(

these fit great around your typical "perfect fit" sleeves, but they're also snug enough to work as a single-sleeve too. the matte material probably isn't to everyone's taste (reminds me of those old plastic folders you would buy for schoolwork) but it keeps the cards from sticking together very well. maybe even too well at times, as the cards can be almost downright slippery, but that makes it a lot easier to shuffle them too. the color is great, very nice theming for a mono green deck.

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. 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. On way to fix this was to flip the card over when it was half way through the second sleeve and use a table or something to push it evenly through the second sleeve. 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 need to ship 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 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 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 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. 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, 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 cards 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 anyway 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 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.

These sleeves feel fantastic in hand and shuffle incredibly smoothly. The texture provides just the right amount of grip without sticking, which makes shuffling quick and effortless. Cards slide cleanly without clumping, and the overall feel is premium and consistent. Definitely a great choice if you value smooth shuffles and a comfortable feel during play.

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

Fundas perfectas y de calidad, de las mejores para mi gusto. Siempre recomiendo esta marca tienes infinidad de colores para elegir como proteger tus cartas.

Ottime bustine protettive ad un prezzo conveniente, la linea "Matte" offre un'enorme varietà di colori, ma quelli più chiari spesso non sono realmente opachi e lasciano intravedere la carta all'interno, quindi col nero andrete suo sicuro. La texture e la sensazione in mano è davvero ottima e piacevole, si vede che è un prodotto di buonissima fattura. Sì adattano alle carte di dimensioni standard (Magic, Pokémon, etc), vestono molto stretto, il che potrebbe rendere difficile il double sleeving. Comunque proveró le DS Perfect Fit Sealable, che dovrebbero essere fatte apposta per aggirare questo problema, e aggiungerò notizie in merito alla recensione. Volendo il packaging si può riutilizzare come porta mazzo (ma ve lo sconsiglio, è semplice cartone e rischiereste di distruggerlo). Continuerei col dire che nelle recensioni internazionali molti lamentano di aver ricevuto meno bustine o di aver ricevuto delle Dragon Shield contraffatte, quindi ho voluto fare delle prove per sicurezza e posso quindi dire che siano DS ufficiali. - All'interno del pacchetto si trovano 2 bustine protettive extra, cosa molto comune nei pacchetti della Dragon Shield - Molte carte contraffatte si vedono dalla diversa texture/riflettività del retro, in questo caso posso affermare sino DS reali - Ho effettuato uno stress test di una bustina, la resistenza è ottima e non si è rotta, cosa che sarebbe successa se fossero fake. Concludo col dire che sono davvero soddisfatto e ve le consiglio.
