Ultra pro has stepped up their sleeve game from a while ago. Ultra pro used to be synonomous with garbage in the ygo scene, and while the boxes are still of a somewhat questionable quality, their sleeves and mats are still pretty good overall. Dragon shield still better for those running 1 or 2 decks, but when you have multiple decks, Dragon shield adds up a lot faster, so the budget option finally being _worth_ buying is always a good thing.
Dragon shield or... since you can now double sleeve I go with official Konami sleeves with cool designs and go for small character guard sleeves as the second, they look beautiful
I never knew the black was to stop the cards being visible. I just like the way the black border looks but don't want the whole sleeve to always be black
Im probably wrong but Im pretty sure it all came about because of a small group of magic cheaters using sharpies to mark the backs of their cards and then using sleeves that would barely show the back of your cards. Im not sure what the rulings are now but I believe at one point when I was still doing sealed mtg stuff the official tournaments required all players to use the same official sleeves to black out the cards on the back.
matte sleeves are good for large tournaments. Too much shine from high rarity causes some people headaches, and can make you more focused on the picture instead of the card effect. Most people will transfer them out after a large tournament back into gloss fronts. Especially since the germs from all the touching of cards.
@@arsenicwafers7536 This is why I want to pick up matte sleeves, I actually hate being blinded by any form of shiny card so if I can dull it down then that would help.
Satin Towers are great, but the Eclipse deck box looks kind of flimsy. I've always found that the hinges on non-rigid deck boxes (and especially the hinges on larger sizes like the 100+) tend to deteriorate pretty quickly with frequent use, so they're fine for a deck you only play once in a while, but not for one you'll be you'll be using all the time. Still, it's hard to knock it too much when it retails for less than $5 - you don't expect a budget box to last as long as, for instance, an Ultimate Guard Boulder
I bought these things called “Boulder Mini 40+“ They’re extremely compact deck boxes, and look very pristine/precise. They’re extremely hard plastic, and they really just add that ✨✨✨ they have them on TCG.
What sleeves are you using and are you single/double sleeving? How many cards max do you think the 40+ will be able to hold? Probably won't be enough for a full Extra+Side, but there are these small size ones that Dragon Shield do which can hold 15 cards which sound nice to hold side deck stuff
Satin towers are great deck boxes, but are a pain to put into deck box storage containers due to their size. Love the compartment on the bottom of them that can hold dice and counters, and the lid doesn’t come open unless you want it to die to how difficult it is to get the lid off. So no cards spilling everywhere.
Eclipses are great. dragon shield are great too, but honestly eclipses feel perfect, shuffle perfect, and the gloss/matte give and option for shine or anti glare. Can't go wrong with them.
The Eclipse sleeves (new formula) are the best sleeves in existence. Can't go wrong with them, unless ur looking for custom art. I also own a satin tower and a playmat. They both are great. Satin towers are kinda tough to open at times, but they break in after a while and are super convenient for carrying anything a deck needs in one compact box. The playmat is simple but effective: durable, doesn't crease, slick, soft, sturdy, and it doesn't shift around.
imo eclipse sleeves are terrible it took 5 days for them to lose their shuffle feel dragon shield are great but my main gripe is certain colors scuff more easily on the front than other colors
What are your thoughts on monsters with the ability to be used in every deck like DPE and Dragoon? What about staples? Me personally I think both are equally annoying so I want to get your opinion.
I'll just keep sticking my raw deck in my duel disk. Thanks anyways bud.
Not like there's much other choice with the duel disk, lol
The matte sleeves having an anti-glare front is only an Eclipse characteristic. Dragon Shield Mattes are not matte on both sides.
Dragon shield does have anti glare from sleeves, just unsure if it's only in standard size
It feels like they sent you a bunch of Magic stuff then remembered last minute and swapped out the sleeves.
Yooo, is it just me or did anyone else get Ed, Edd & Eddy "Jawbreaker" vibes when Paul pulled out the big white die?🤣

Ultra Pro has always been my go-to choice for sleeves, and most other accessories
Ultra pro sleeves always ended with me having bent corners on my cards and I never trusted them ever again. Dragon shield all the way
my mom always tells me how beautiful your voice is everytime i watch your videos, and i totally agree

Konami sleeves dent easily

I also prefer gloss sleeves, especially if you have nice rarities in your deck.
The matte sleeves dull the visual effect of the cards too much.
I like gloss for my high rarity decks but think the mattes actually make the commons look better so i use them for my low rarity decks.

boulder is made by ultimate guard, they make some of the best deck boxes but their sleeves are trash

Such a villainous smile in that thumbnail pic...almost as if your planning something devious! Great video btw!

Definitely gonna nab a few of those big binders next paycheck. Just under 1,000 cards and they're sitting in stack in, an albeit secure, drawer!
Biggest beef I had with sleeves is that some company’s watermarked them with some logo. I’m more of a clean look, nothing graphic’d on.
I want Pot of Greed slippers and an El Shaddoll Construct T-Shirt.
Satin tower is the best purchase I have ever made. 10/10 recommend. Worth every dollar
Shrek and Barney are my favorite part of this video
I like ultra pro binders besides that Ultimate Guard is where its at the matte feel in them is phenomenal.
dragon shield will forever be my go to sleeves but the eclipse is pretty nice
When i was at HTusa last week i bought 4 packs of eclipse for my binders i enjoy them alot
I think the 100 card deck boxes are probably for Commander (MtG).
Dragon Shield sleeves are better than eclipse. Might cost a bit more, but its worth it
The only benefit Eclipse offers is that they’re more slippery, thus shuffle a lot better.
Eclipses are great. dragon shield are great too, but honestly eclipses feel perfect, shuffle perfect, and the gloss/matte give and option for shine or anti glare. Can't go wrong with them.
@Lurking Frog Yea, that’s a downside I didn’t like either. I switched back to DS cuz of that.
I always thought Eclipse sleeves were just for design. Good to know there's also a practical reason for using them.
I like ultra pro inner sleeves and dragon shields over those.
I must know, what is Paul's shirt depicting?
It’s toon Apollousa, does anyone know where to find?

the big dice doubles as a pillow.
Paul, I don't have the money for this. Why must you torture me so!?
“Your life, I don’t know” 😭😭
Last time you did one of these it was all sold out before we even had a chance to purchase.
Need ixchel mat. Ultra pro, please.
Did anyone else get a Nickelodeon awards ad with ppl getting slimed right after he talked about Nickelodeon slime?
5:23 Thanks doc.
I’m a dragon shield kind of guy for my sleeves always been:)
I can’t betray dragon shield.😂
The only thing I get from ultra are their cheap deck boxes. Great to hold other decks when you're not playing them
I really like the shirt! I wonder where you get that yugioh shirt
I feel like they prol wanted y’all to open all this stuff to show it off and y’all opened only a small portion 😂
imo eclipse sleeves are terrible
it took 5 days for them to lose their shuffle feel
dragon shield are great
but my main gripe is certain colors scuff more easily on the front than other colors
i have a feeling this video is sponsored by dragon shield you guys
Does anyone know if card slides to the top of the Eclipse gloss sleeve? I know it happens for the Matte sleeve
dam lemme get a binder 😭
Smile a little bit man lol
Anyone know where to get the shirt he was wearing? It looked so cool.
My favourite kind of video
Lol i find it hilarious thst people get other yugi players to sign their play mats .
