As an avid MTG player I'm constantly on the lookout for card protectors that are durable, feel good in hand, and look good. These protectors excel at the criteria mentioned above and serve their purpose well. At the local game store I frequent, I usually get complimented on how good they look. In my opinion they work best with the recent Alara Reborn gold cards for some reason, or with a blue/black deck I use. Overall, I'd recommend these little wonders to anyone wanting to protect their cards and have them look good too.

I like these card protectors. They definitely make the cards look nice and it is a step above what you topically see with other players. Contrary to other reviewers these are not AMAZING they are just above the standard single color card protectors that people usually use. Go to almost any online magic store and you can find many much more elaborate and inexpensive card protector options. However, these are cheaper and definitely a cut above standard. That is why I like these, because it makes my standard decks look better than other peoples standard decks and I like that.

These card sleeves where only "okay." At first the sleeves would shuffle effortlessly, but within a few games the sleeves collected dozens of scratches on each sleeve and somehow built up friction. It now takes some effort to shuffle and they are getting worse and worse it seems. These sleeves are very glossy and my research shows this happens to almost all glossy card sleeves, so its hard to say "these" sleeves are poor quality. I recommend you get matte sleeves, though. My brother has the matte sleeves from the same company, Ultra Pro, and they work fine.

Note that the inside of the sleeves is white and may not look nice with certain cards.

These sleeves are great if you just want a basic backing. None of mine have broken yet and its been almost a month. I recommend them.

I've owned one other set of Ultra Pro sleeves and they were a bit cheaper than these. They ripped and fell apart just after a few weeks of playing MTG and shuffling. The only reason these were appealing was because of the design and the slightly higher price. I figured these would be better quality due to the higher cost, but boy was I wrong. The edges felt really sharp in my hand, and 2 or three ripped on the first shuffle! I was amazed. I don't shuffle like a mad man, but I expect sleeves to at least be able to deal with a good shuffle. I know it sounds silly, but lets be real. You buy sleeves to protect your expensive cards, and these things suck. If you're going to buy sleeves, I highly recommend Dragon Shields. Those are the best feeling sleeves and sturdiest. Never again. Waste of money.

I purchased these card sleeves because they matched sleeves that I already own. The ones shown in the picture are not the same as the ones delivered. The sleeves I received seem fine but since they are different from the ones I already have I cannot use these.

So I got these here protector sleeves to protect my MTG cards. It is hard to have strong feelings about the protector sleeves, but I Never considered their "fun level" or "educational value." Obviously, the protector sleeves didn't teach me any thing, and they arent particularly fun in their own rite,just so much as they protect my valuable cards collectors value while I can put them in a deck and play them.

You get what you pay for theses sleeves are great. They protect just as they should and Ultra Pro is the best company for longevity of sleeves. The other companies sleeves fall apart to fast

When i got the covers they were clearly labeled and organized and in great condition. They fit perfectly and cover all my cards.

Ultra Pro is known for their deck protectors and this set is no exception. Nice looking black background with the mana symbols on it so your opponent doesn't guess what you're playing. Durability is pretty good - I usually replace them once a year or so.
