Don't let your cards go sleeveless! Slip something nice on that Arch Angel of Thune, and tell me;
What are your cards wearing?
Redundant enough I just got some Tard ('Grumpy Cat') card sleeves and I just wanted to share, and hear what everyone else has! :D
Mostly black Dragon Sleeves. I do have one set of the green Dragon Sleeves and thought they were pretty cool looking.
Usually ultra pros, but last night I rocked some off brand camouflage sleeves!
Ultra pro black or white :)
Solid black on my orzhov pillow fort, got some ultra pro whites for the prerelease today ;)
Ultra pro all the way, haven't found an art back that I like the texture of. Gloss is too sticky, so I go matted and always pick a colour that's not in my deck.
My gruul deck and simic ones? White sleeves.
WG angels and mono green? Blue, of course. :)
Same rule for the deck box too.

I'm the exact opposite. I have two built standard decks, Mono white angels and Boros. My Boros deck has Aurelia sleeves and a Tajic deck box, and my angels has Avacyn sleeves, and an Akroma deck box.
My cards are naked they like to be free
Mine are sporting an assortment of different color Ultra Pros. Although I have heard many great things about Dragon Shield so from now on I will buy them.
Max Pro with the Sentinel art. By far my favorite. Seem durable so far (couple months now without breaking any) and foils look gorgeous in them. I'm liking Max Pro sleeves.
I've gotten to the point where I just don't bother with Ultra Pros. Break wayyyy too easy. And Dragon Shields are just a bit too awkwardly cut IMO. KMCs aren't bad, though.
Dragon shields for me. All sorts of colors. I really like the silver ones, and I draft using clear or purple ones.
I haven't had a single dragon shield rip, tear, or break. I've have dozens of broken ultra pros. That's a selling point for me.
Clear Dragon Shields baby.
Usually dragon shields. My modern deck is worth a bit so it's double sleeved in kmc perfect fits and then dragons.
ultra pros except for my standard deck which is sleeved in beautiful Gimley sleeves.
My Eggs deck ONLY works if they're in Legion Bacon n' Eggs sleeves!!!!!!!!! 😉
My affinity deck is in black dragon shields and my other 3 modern decks are in white dragon shields so I can swap around expensive cards like fetch lands that I only have one playset of. Then my {Isamaru, Hound of Konda} EDH is in sliver dragons and my sliver EDH is in Pink dragon shields. I like dragon shield sleeves :)

The pain... Owwww... Please tell me you do not play with anything more expensive than 50 cents.
I do but I take really good care of them and I make sure that I don't take them near anything that would harm them. I have a friend that used not take care of his cards and they were in absolutely horrible shape so if I see my cards going down that path ill retire that deck into my box till I think they'll behave in the outside world

Heh, reminds me of the time I saw this old dude at my lgs who was playing original shocks, a verdant catacombs, deathrite, etc. without any sleeves at all.
My most value decks are sleeved in best way as possible... Cards wearing KMC perfect sleeves are sleeved in black matte KMC sleeves. Japanese quality and I am sooo satisfied...;)

Oh yeah, forgot to mention my sliver EDH is double sleeved. It's around 85 % foil and foreign cards I'd hate to see ruined/cloudy. I might eventually do this with some of my modern decks. /shrug
I tried ultrapro's once, and they deteriorated my cards...I'd like to try the grumpy cat sleeves. Can I buy some off you for the same price you bought them for?

There's a guy at my lgs who was playing with a de-sleeved starter. And in one of the boosters it came with, he pulled a foil {deathrite shaman}. Also de-sleeved. And he was bridge shuffling. It made me cringe.
Ouch I treat each card as though its $5.00
I had ultra pro sleeves of the new Ravnica guildmages and nearly ever set ripped. Hoping to upgrade to Dragon Shield sleeves soon.
My Izzet Control is sporting Ultra Pro Ral Zarek sleeves.

I bought 3 boxes of purple Dragon Shields a year ago, and i keep at least my modern and a standard in them at all times with sideboard. it leaves me with exactly 2 decks worth of sleeves so i can have a great deal of versatility in my spare decks!
Ultra pros suck cause after a day they break and the edges bend. dragon shields get really gross and scratched up but are durable they are hard to shuffle with. KMCs are best. I would love to get ahold of some round cornered sleeves for my affinity
