Name a card sleeve brand that you most enjoy using and/or think is the best eg. Ultra pro, dragon shield.
I personally like dragon shield the best
I prefer Dragon Shield, as well as Elder Dragon Hide sleeves by Legion. Ultra pro aren't bad, but aren't as durable, and I hate that logo on the face side on the bottom.

Same here only I haven't seen elder dragon hide sleeves before.
I just stick with ultra pro because they're several dollars cheaper, and they last for a decent amour of time. I'm usually more focused on buy cards rather than sleeves, so I'm pretty cheap in that respect :P
What can I say? I'm a sucker for Mtg merch. 💗 my Chandra Ultra-pro sleeves.
Besides, I have so many bloody decks that I am fine replacing one or two sleeves when they fail.
I have so many decks I like having just one card sleeve type. I still have about 12 decks worth of {G} ultra pros. I am in the process of swapping all those to {B} ultra pros at the moment cuz the green ones are from the late 90's but they are still good. I am always in deck building mode....it is what I enjoy the most.....and I don't like swapping sleeves when I take decks apart and build new ones.
I agree about swapping sleeves when changing decks.
Personally I get the black matte ones from ultra pro and so I don't have to keep changing sleeves between decks that's all I get. I find that the matte finish works better than the glossy ones as they don't stick together and are much easier to shuffle.
Yup black matte ultra pro no gloss. I do have a mono black vamp deck that is in gloss black ultra pros cuz I will never take it apart....maybe
Dragon shield Sleavs are the easiest to shuffle And try last
I use ultra pro. I am surprised everyone sticks to one color. I like different colors so I can tell my decks apart.
Best place to buy a bunch would be ....

Amazon or your LGS most likely.

I tell my decks apart by having different kinds of deck boxes.......and I am sneaky about it too......just cuz it has a {W} mana symbol on the box does not mean it is a white deck :P
I just picked up some Dragon Shields and I gotta say I have mixed feelings for them. They are easy to shuffle and feel durable, but they're freakin huge and (at least the glossy, don't know if there is a matte version) they slide around a ton. But, my Ultra Pros keep breaking on me. Seriously, how do 5 sleeves break in the course of 2-3 matches?? :(

They won't slide after some play and I've had the same set of black dragon shields scence I was like 14 ( 24 now) so yea... They last lol
When I build a deck for Lols or while play testing I use the cheap clear sleeves. When the deck is solid I usually replace the sleeves with solid ultra pro ones. Only reason I don't use dragon shield is because they are expensive
Anybody use KMC's? I use dragon shields and was wandering what they were like. Wanna see if they are worth picking up.
