Hello fellow Planeswalkers! in your opinion, what is the best color for Dragon Shield sleeves? (I want to buy some and i don't know which to buy)

I prefer Ultra Pro over Dragon Shield for that reason.
Dragon Shield: Navy Blue, Black
Ultra Pro: Blue, Black, White

I actually find Dragon Shield to be significantly easier to shuffle than Ultra Pro. Then again I guess it really depends on how you shuffle. I'm a side shuffler so the very low friction due to the high gloss finish makes it easier to shuffle. I can see how if you prefer to riffle you would want a bit more friction so that the deck was easier to manage.
I think that the metallic dragon sleeves look the best and I am partial to the silver over the gold for my personal decks.

I have orange Dragon Shield sleeves and I have no problem side shuffling or rifle shuffling. Also I've heard people say that you should get dark colors because some of the lighter colors you can see through the back when your cards are in and you don't want to be accused of cheating if someone thinks your using that to notice markings on the cards. I don't have this problem with the orange ones but I could see how something like the white ones could be an issue.

I recently bought white, green and grey dragon shield sleeves. I can not see anything through the sleeves at all. Maybe in a few months with some wear and tear? They are extremely thick, I can not fit my EDH deck into a deck box any more. 60 card deck fits nicely back into the dragon shield box but not a Wizards deck box (like from a fat pack).
As far as colour, the silver is quite nice and the white is good too. I don't think it matters match, I just picked colours that reflect the deck they are for.

i have the sleeves represent my deck, if it is a 3 color deck, then i will make it gold. my mono blue deck is in blue sleeves. at first i didn't like the size of dragon shield, but i got used to it. it is also nice that they give you extras incase one breaks.

actually I've found that Ultra Pro doubles the size of my deck and when I'm playing the top card slips off. Dragon Shields have never failed me and are smooth shuffling. But to answer your question black, black sleeves are the best.

@Faded the deck boxes you get in fat pack's aren't designed to hold cards with sleeves on them at all, dragon shield's or other wise.

You should all try taking an EDH deck, pro-fit the entire deck, then putting all of those into brand new dragon shields. Until you do, you don't know the half of slippery decks lol.

UPDATE: What brand of sleeves should i buy? (They say that Dragon shield will most likely DOUBLE the height of your deck and it's not as easy to shuffle unlike Ultra Pro)
