Are Legion Iconic Sleeves Any Good?

I've been looking around on the internet, and I saw a post that you can fit a single sleeved EDH deck in one of the Legion Iconic Deck Boxes. I saw the design, and I realized I want to get a white deck box with the iconic blue sleeves for my budget Brago deck. So, are the Legion Iconic Sleeves any good for single sleeving?

I can't speak from personal experience nor knowledge of the specific type of sleeves, though I have not heard good things in the past about Legion sleeves.

Tolarian Community College's YouTube channel has some great guides to the best (and worst) sleeves.

I use these sleeves on all my EDH decks. Good fit, easy shuffling and so far no issues with sleeves being split (which is saying a lot since one of my buddies literally splits Dragonshield sleeves every time he uses them.) Not a huge fan of the deck boxes though. I prefer the Mana-flip deck boxes.

I'm not sure which specific card sleeves you want, so I just listed all the Legion options reviewed by TCC. TCC is probably the best source in MTG for quality checking.

Thanks!

I actually meant the mana flip boxes with the iconic mana symbol on it. This one http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/3nkAAOxyyjpRujI9/s-l300.jpg

I already watched all of TCC's videos. I'm asking this question because he never reviewed the iconic sleeves. Onion_duck already answered the question for me so no need to keep posting.

I don't know how anybody could ever split a Dragon Shield sleeve. That makes literally no sense to me.

They can split. Just try to peel off one of the corners with the opening and it just rips off. This is still kinda hard to do and it literally cannot happen due to shuffling so that's kinda weird.
