Best sleeves and deck box for an EDH deck

General forum

I'm starting to get into EDH, and i want a good sleeve and deck box to care for my expensive deck. I'm thinking Dragon Sheild and a satin tower. But i am also considering ultra pro matte sleeves for the cost and feel, what do you think.

I have all 9 of my EDH decks in dragonshields.

Recently dragonshield came out with a new cut/color, I have been very impressed with them so far. The turquoise ones have been cut differently.

For a deck box, I made my own, but I hear the faux leather boxes work well for individual decks.

Ultra Pros stack up poorly for a 100 card deck. They create this toppling tower. I really like Dragon Shield's because of how stable they are and how long they last.

I try to double sleeve my EDH decks - Dragonshields on top with Ultra-Pro profits underneath. The profits maybe add 20% to deck thickness but it's certainly worth it to me... We normally are drinking when we play EDH, lol.

double sleeving would save my cards from somebodies drink spilling on my deck, but then i will probably get a thick deck box like the satin.

I've had 1 EDH deck ruined from a spilled rum and coke before. Never again!

After trying all sorts of combinations of sleeves, I've always come back to KMC Perfect Fit inside KMC Matte/Hyper Matte. As far as deck boxes, I use the new Dragonshield deck boxes. I put my decks in sideways and it's a nice fit for my double sleeved decks.

I double sleeve any deck worth over 300$. Ultra pro pro fits and dragonshield. My EDH deck has one of them ultra pro lethery boxs and it works perfectly.

KMC perfect fit underneath dragon shields for me. Ultra pro box. It's pretty legit.

For my EDH deck I use either my Ultra Pro Satin Tower Black Deck Box or a box like a Ultra Pro 100 count Plastic box, the two-piece thing. For my EDH I use the Dragon Sleeves on it, so Incan tell the deck apart from my other ones, which are mostly Standard ones.

I use strictly Dragon Shield sleeves and deck boxes. For the boxes I use plastic ones. They come in various colors and fit 100 sleeved cards perfectly. Theyre cheap too.
