KMC and Dragon Shields are pretty much universally recognized as the best.

Lmfao Taysby!

But ya Dragon Shields and KMC are great! Can't go wrong with either. I like Dragon Shields bc they give you 100 not 75. But that's me.

Btw get the light blue DS soooo pretty lol it's like an aqua

I have a red deck box and red Dragon shield sleeves on my modern UWr midrange deck because let's be honest, it's really a glorified burn deck :P
I like dragon shields, they give you 100+ in a box, come in tons of colors and don't break. Seriously I have some from 10 years ago that are still in use. Heard good things about KMC tho :)

I bought clear dragon shields in the first tourney I played in about 17 yrs ago and I still have them. They're a little cloudy but still fine. Never had one split

Dragon shield are split proof permanent, best brand and therefore most xpensive but you pay for the quality, I wish they did them in matte.....

KMC Perfect Fits with KMC Hyper Mat. Hyper Mat are the best sleeve without a doubt. The fronts don't get dirty instantly like Dragon Shield, the textured back is like the Ultra Pro mattes, they shuffle smooth and display foils perfectly. Remember to use the Perfect fits with them, or else the card sort of sits in there awkwardly. They're slightly less durable then Dragon Shield, but that is relative, because Dragon Shields are practically unbreakable.

Cons are: Not that many colors. Come in packs of 80, not 100, so you end up with 60 extra sleeves when you're done sleeving an EDH deck. Ordinarily that wouldn't be bad, except you'll be 15 sleeves short of a Standard/Modern deck.

Dragon shields are the best, you can double sleeve with them too,if they get cloudy on the outside (usually like little spots) I just scrub with a toothbrush or even ur other sleeve corners during a boring turn :P

I never thought about using a toothbrush. Good idea
