Best sleeves and playmats ?
Gear forum
Posted on March 20, 2018, 2:23 p.m. by Segala
I wanna double sleeve my edh deck and I was wondering what type of sleeves would be the best for the job.
And where can I get a custom playmat (got a picture for one but I don't know where to go).Thanks.

Inked gaming will create custom playmats regardless of copyright laws! As far as sleeves go, for double sleeving and most bang for your buck my money is on dragon shield perfect fits and dragon shield sleeves. However, i am told that elcipses are very nice too, my issue witg eclipse is that you only get 80 sleeves per bundle, while shields get ya 100

What Bulldawg1310 said, Dragonshields and Inked Gaming!
I have also heard good things about the Eclipse sleeves but have not tried them yet. Dragonshield has been very consistent for me.

I prefer the KMC sleeves. But they come in packs of 80, which is annoying for EDH.

I am a fan of the Ultra-Pro Pro-Matte sleeves in solid colours. They slide well while shuffling, but also are slightly textured--I find this hint of friction helps keep my deck from sliding all over the place, particularly with 100 card EDH libraries. Sure, they might not have pictures, but they come in a wide assortment of colours, and I've never had one break.
Also, not to be "that guy" (except I am recalcitrantly "that guy"), you should be sure to follow copyright law when making custom playmats. It's not fair to the party holding an image's rights for a third party, such as the company Bulldawg1310 suggested, to profit off their intellectual property.

Bulldawg1310 the dragon shield perfect fit is the inner or outer sleeve ? Are they hard or soft?

Dragon shield makes both inner and outer sleeves. The inner sleeves are softer and less protective the outer sleeves are matte based and a bit tougher.

Dragon shield makes regular and matte sleeves. And they make perfect fit inner sleeves. They currently have limited edition art sleeves that have the art printed directly on the sleeve (so no separating).

My main problem with eclipses is they have an anti glare film on the sleeves that makes cards look dull. So if you like your art to pop get dragons otherwise they're pretty equal

Inked gaming has incredible playmats with thorough instructions on how to make your own. Couldn't recommend them more!
For EDH I always buy Dragon Shields but for constructed formats I prefer Ultra Pro Eclipse sleeves! For limited i just use whatever extra old sleeves I have!

Dragon Shield (Matte) cover my 3 EDH decks, 2 Modern decks, 1 Standard deck. Great shuffle feel, sturdy, non-slippery... can't beat them right now IMO.
Inner sleeves, KMC Perfect Fits.
I agree with a comment above, while the Ultra Pro Eclipse are great quality, the really dull the cards. A lot of foils look like non-foil once inside them, so I avoid as I like to bling my decks!

Never mind for the playmat, forgot to read the custom info first.
