Dragon ShieldMatte Dual Standard Size Card Sleeves | 25th Special Edition | 100 - Smooth & Tough Premium TCG Sleeves - Compatible with Pokemon, One Piece & Magic The Gathering | Blue/Silver

My best friend and her husband are teaching me and mine how to play MtG thanks to the latest Final Fantasy release singing the siren song that pulled me into the realm. As such, they have been kind enough to get me my first deck box, play mat, and commander deck because they are amazing.So when they told me these were the sleeves I HAD TO GET, I listened.Compared to my cheaper sleeves, these already feel exponentially nicer and don't static stick together or fly around the room on a whim when the fan lightly blows their way.The blue is a matte metallic (think it's an anniversary color?) and goes almost perfectly with the deck box they gave me, so if you are a stickler for your colors all matching, these are pretty true to pictures (screen and device variations should be taken into account as well.)Cards fit in nicely and these feel like they will last. My friends swear by them and have all their cards in them, which have seen quite a bit of use, so these must be pretty durable. When I've broken them in, so to speak, I'll have a better idea, but unless my dog gets ahold of my cards (I'd cry) I imagine these will last a while.Pricing at the time of purchase was equivalent to my LGS and they, like most card sleeves, are pretty straight-forward top loaders. You can't shake the cards out easily either.While others beat DragonShield in quantity, these are definitely better quality overall and are a great value when it comes to gameplay cards.

Huge fan of Dragon Shield.Fit: perfectGlare: not an issueSleeves: feel sturdy and silky softThese sleeves have always lasted a long time for me.The black background on the inside of the Sleeves is a must for MTG (specially dark decks)Also really like that the box doubles as a deck box for up to 70 sleeved cards

Dragon shield cards are fantastic. If you know, you know. Always a little slick when you first sleeve your decks but with time and shuffling you don't get sliding issues.Sturdy and have definitely protected my cards as anticipated.Color is as anticipated.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a brand I can trust, I have not had any bad experiences with these sleeves. They are durable, and the matte backs make for a good grip and great shuffle feel.

These sleeves are, in my opinion, the industry standard for card games. Very durable, high quality and they feel great with the textured finish. All my playing cards are inside Dragon Shield sleeves.

Been using Dragon Shield Mattes exclusively for years and never disappointed. The consistency, durability, and reliability of these never lets me down. I haven't used new offerings from other companies but I have never had a reason to yet. I own maybe 20-24 diff sets. Shuffle feel with the textured backs is like ASMR. Double sleeving dulls the foiling but thats everywhere I think.

Best sleeves on the market for sure. Perfect fit for magic cards with ton of colors to choose from. Keeps your cards clean and safe from damage when shuffling your decks. They are durable and don’t fall about like other sleeves I’ve used.

I love Dragon Shield Sleeves, but some of the colors are too beautiful to only see on the back side. I was so disappointed when they came in and I sleeved my new deck, only to realize that the front of the sleeves don't have the same color as the back. They're just black. I was really wanting to frame my cards with that beautiful purple color, but for some reason these are just black on the front side. Other than that, they're fantastic sleeves.I do have one problem with Dragon Shield sleeves, though. All sleeves will collect dust at the top where the opening is, but dragon shields are terrible when it comes to that. My UltraPros aren't nearly as bad at collecting dust at the top. I feel like I spend most of my time trying to wipe the dust off the top of my cards that are in these sleeves. I have Jet and Soul colors, and they both do it really badly.Maybe it's the extra space that's at the top. They're longer than UltraPros.You can see what I mean in the pics.
