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 ....

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??  :(
