Another sleeving question.

I don't double sleeve because I hate the giant deck it creates and makes it an annoyance to shuffle IMO. I use dragon shields and never have had a problem.

I double sleeve. KMC Perfect Fit inside a KMC Super. The deck is bigger, but it fits perfectly in my Leifkicker box (and Dragon shield gaming deckbox before it).

It's the only way to go. All it takes is one drunk maniac to knock a beer/soda all over your cards.

This is what I do

I'd spend almost whatever, and tolerate almost anything to know my cards were properly protected. Ive got some expensive things, and even more so now that I'm foiling the deck.

I double sleeved my Sliver EDH because its easily my most valuable deck (70-80% is foil) and I don't want the foils to cloud. It was definitely worth it, I won't take it apart and the list is done so nothing needs to be changed out. Moneekah is right though, it's a pain to shuffle (I have to do it in chunks) 😔

Ok how do you shuffle them? They are super smooth and seem to be a pain to riffle. Also the bottom side is fatter so it stacks unstable.

Well, I think it's depends on hand size as well (lol pun) but I have fairly log fingers/palms and I can manage okay to riffle half and then the other half and then carefully do one combining the two stacks.

Stacking is difficult, especially when the sleeves are new and slippery. It might look a little slanted in order to stay upright, I just go up and adjust it until its stable. As you play w/ the sleeves this will decrease over time!

I have decent size hand and a lot of shuffling experiences but seem to have a problem with these right now. I seem to every so often to get a sleeve inside another sleeve. So I try to riffle on a 45 degree. Guess I'll have to play more to get ride of the slippery feeling. Also any good cheap boxes for a 60ish deck
