Title: How Sleeved is too sleeved?
Post by: Remillo on July 10, 2014, 05:42:58 PM
Alright.

So, we have our Card sleeves.  And we have Perfect-Fits that go inside the sleeves for extra protection for those super expensive cards.  We also have character/art sleeves that are clear and go outside our normal sleeves to protect the sleeve (in case you got a cool design or something).  KMC just released yet another size of Sleeve.  I don't know what they call it, but it's bigger than the others.

My buddy Josh thought it'd be a cool idea to Quadruple-Sleeve an EDH deck.

Here's the result (the card is next to it for height reference):

Basically, it feels like he's laminated his cards.  Now, if we can find a set of extra-wide Top-loaders...

Woooah that looks difficult to shuffle, I've double sleeved my Sliver EDH because of the amount of foils and I have a tough time with that. 😨 Can't imagine two more layers of sleeves.

Is it slippery? I have seen that with EDH decks some sleeved decks want to topple, is that a problem for him?

I actually saw a deck sleeved up in hardcovers. He had an eldrazi deck and because of how large his hands were, he could actually shuffle it. Once he got two {Eldrazi Conscription}s on an {Emrakul, the Anus Torn}

Idk about you guys but my deck needs the biggest sized sleeves ;) bc it's huge!! Lol sorry had to ;)

As far as the topic that is so dumb it's laughable but thenagain if I played vintage I'd want to put my power in as many sleeves as humanly possible!!
