Title: What kind of deck sleeves do you use?
Post by: Chronic Apathy on May 12, 2011, 12:44:14 PM: I've used relatively plain deck sleeves (mostly matte, but I upgraded to nicer ones at Natz last year) pretty much all three years I've played Redemption, but this week I finally decided to treat my deck like the lady she is and buy some new, really nice ones. I finally decided on these really nice holographic Balrog (from LotR) sleeves that I'm really happy with.

Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on May 12, 2011, 12:48:44 PM: I either go with very shiny single color sleeves, or dragon based sleeves.

Post by: Red on May 12, 2011, 12:51:47 PM: My fun decks use shiny sleeves for the most part but my really good deck uses the best kind out:Matte legends green. Cheap and they last.

Post by: SomeKittens on May 12, 2011, 01:18:21 PM: I use whatever's cheap. However, I refuse to use sleeves that are holographic on both sides. Ingame distractions are evil.

We brought a set of those to a tournament for booster. Surprisingly, no eyebrows were raised.

Post by: Isildur on May 13, 2011, 12:11:24 AM: I either use Ultra pro Yu-Gi-Oh sleeves which fit redemption cards very nice they may not last as long as Dragon Shield but they are still very nice or I use Dragon Shield which are indestructable and last for ever. I have had a set from 2001? that I still use.
Title: Re: What kind of deck sleeves do you use?
Post by: SomeKittens on May 13, 2011, 12:12:29 AM: I've heard that the smaller Yugioh sleeves don't fit Redemption cards well

The off brand yu-gi-oh sized sleeves dont fit very well but the Ultra Pro Brand do fit even Priest and G/H cards nicely.

I have a set of Ultra Pro Standard black sleeves from 1996, that I have used extensively throughout the years. They are well worn but still functional ;D

Post by: Lampy 2.0 on May 17, 2011, 03:21:42 PM: I use mostly Ultra Pro. I have used sleeves from Dragon Shield (for my deck so lovingly called the Purple Machine of Death! :)) Wal-Mart sleeves and other cheep sleeves.
