I'm thinking of buying a pack of Dragon Shields for my standard deck. I've heard they're very good, and I have a bit of store credit to Troll and Toad. I'm sure some of you know a bunch about what are nice sleeves (hopefully relatively inexpensive, too), so could I get some advice?

Thanks!

I'm partial to KMC Pro Matts, but Dragon Shields are pretty nice, especially for EDH.

I'll check out KMC sleeves too, thanks.

Kmcs are amazing. Best sleeves i've ever bought hands down

Have you tried Dragon Shields to compare?

ApexPredator

Yes I have. Dragon Shields are durable and still great sleeves. The biggest deterrent for me was the rough cut edges. It makes shuffling onerrous.

Ah. Ok. Good advice, thanks. Probably going to see which is cheaper so I don't have to add in more besides my $5 credit.

KMCs are usually around $10, but they're so worth the money.

That's not so bad. I'll take a look. Thanks.

I've only personally tried ultra pros and dragon shields but I've also heard lots about KMCs. I'd say dragon shields are the most durable but possibly the hardest to shuffle (not that hard though) while kmc's are the smoothest shuffle.

Ekann1

I think being hard to shuffle might be a problem. Guess I'm going with KMCs.

Thanks for the help all.

Huh. The ones I found were $6.50.

No, although I recommend the Matte, not the Supers.

I love Dragon Shields. Have all my decks in them. No complaints here.
