    I've had the same problems with Katana and Shield. Bottoms splitting and odd color lots.
    But it is a mass produced item; so some variance is expected.

    Just bought my first katana sleeves online, but it’s yet to arrive. I’ve always used Dragon Shield (still haven’t had any split issues with them) so I’m kinda curious to see how it compares.

    It's not a riffle shuffle or a rifle shuffle, it's a bridge. The way we shuffle in Magic is more akin to what is know as a faro shuffle.

    Those sleeves look nice..i buy whats available at lgs. Mostly drago shieldo But katana feel better when i check out someones deck...better pebbling and not floppy on one end..tbh as they go up in price dragos need to be better about qc

    Where do you buy from? I'm tempted to sleeve my cube with them but dropping $110 on sleeves kindda sucks lol.

      I bought mine at the Regional Championship. Sometimes local stores have them but otherwise on Ebay or Amazon

    Would you mind double sleeving a deck or just some cards with katanas?
    Ive only bought Katanas once and loved everything about them except how hard it was to double sleeve.
    If you have the means to test if its true I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks for the videos :D

    • @MTGDeckmasters
      @MTGDeckmasters  Před rokem +2

      Yes I could do that! However, I always single sleeve my decks

      @buddyWalrus Před rokem +2

      Some batches of katanas might be too tight to fit top loading inner sleeves. Green and orange in particular would only take side loading for me and still took a lot of force to get in. Still love em but it's a little annoying.

    guess it is official, instead of Deckmaster rather Sleavemaster

    love katana, but dragon shield dual matte have really work wonders. Sadly quality over price katana is a bit cheaper for an equally nice feeling, but the variety in color to my many random fun decks is better achieve with dragons. (and while im writing this im deciding whether to get blue or clear sleeves from katana lol)

    • @MTGDeckmasters
      @MTGDeckmasters  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for sharing! I'll try the dual matte sleeves👍

    im sorry im completly new with card games - so in 2024 what do you recommend Dragon Shield Protector - Matte Apple Green or Ultimate Guard Katana ?

      I've used dragon shield for years but I shuffled a friend's deck that was sleeved in katanas the other day. I'm switching brands

    I don't know where you've been getting your Dragon Shields from, but I encountered no such issues with any recent sleeves.
    While I get that its your experience, its not mine. If you're happy with Katanas, then great for you. I found them to be too shallow and the cards always ended up sticking out here and there. Also they get dirty QUICK. Not from actual dirt, but just from the natural oil secreted from hands. I can't keep washing mu hands every 15 min to keep the sleeves clean.

    So no more Ultra PRO sleeves? You mentioned them as being your favorite in Classic vs Matte Dragon Shield video.

    I picked up Katana sleeves a few months back, and I'm working on switching all my non-commander decks to them. They're good enough that I don't feel like I have to double sleeve my cards anymore.😂

    • @MTGDeckmasters
      @MTGDeckmasters  Před rokem +1

      Very nice! I don't double sleeve anymore so they are perfect👌

    Katanas are the best. I got them for my most expensive decks.

  • @hiddenleaf414
    @hiddenleaf414 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Would be a game changer if they made Katanas with a matte finish ok the front as well.

  • @Tlfcringe

    Those sleeves after my video

  • @KDD0063
    @KDD0063 Před 9 měsíci

    Almost all sleeves are too big, I like KMC Perfect Hard because they are the perfect size, the problem is they don't have any colors! It would be nice if more companies made smaller sleeves and also where there is a color or picture on the back, but when you look at the front, it is black so it blends in with the border of the card.

    Me, seeing the suffle for the first few 10 second: This is fine, why other fan call this maniac?
    (Start riffle shuffle)
    Me: Oh I get it now.

    i wont lie
    not trying to be rude in any ways btw
    you do shuffle rally hard but that only proves the durability of dragon shield and ultimate guard katana sleeves

    Dragon shields blow dck they split if you look at them wrong

  • @johnreese5739
    @johnreese5739 Před rokem +1

    I can tell you from personal experience that Dragon Shield are not reliable. I can't speak for in the past, but I got some recently and some of the sleeves broke the very first time I shuffled them

    • @MTGDeckmasters
      @MTGDeckmasters  Před rokem

      The new batches are not reliable but they were 2 years ago or so

  • @Bahhizzle
    @Bahhizzle Před rokem +11

    I RALLY like the feel of katana sleaves, but man their color selections sucks in comparison to dragon shields.
