I'm going to be printing around 8 proxy modern decks to play test against. So Im looking for the most cost effective cases.

Do you mean sleeves? Ultra Pro Matte are probably the best combination of cheaposity and gooditude.

Something affordable but still quality. I like the Dragonscale cases but it would cost me a bit less then $60 to case all the cards. Anything similar for less or bulk options would be nice.

Dragon Shield*
You could just go for penny sleeves. Those are dirt cheap, but break more often.

I would just go with Ultra Pro, Cheapest option and should be easy to find at local Game stores.

I would second bijschjdbcd. Ultra Pros are dirty cheap and the easiest to find, but they will also break really quickly if you shuffle them properly, plus they can split even when just left alone due to age. Still, they will look pretty and will hold your cards.
Alternatively, you could get Dragon Shields. It would cost more, but they won't break. You could use them for other decks, and if you didn't want them anymore then other people would likely buy them secondhand.

Id like to reiterate a point the Professor states, Purchase the sleeves from you LGS if you can.

Why have sleeves for proxies? Or am I missing something?

He's printing out the proxies, so he needs sleeved cards to put the pieces of paper in.

Yeah, You sleeve a basic land card backwards in a sleeve so the card back can be seen, Then slide a paper proxy in the front of the sleeeve.

On that note, buy KMC HYPER MATT. They are fantastic and cost the same as ultra pro. the shuffle feel is amazing, and one of mine have never split, compared to the constant splitting I get from ultra pro matts. Seriously DO IT. They are amazing. They are also the best option for double sleeving

KMC ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN N ULTRA PRO! SO IF YOU WANT A BUDGET OPTION, THEN GO WITH ULTRA PRO! THEY ARE THE MOST COST EFFICIENT FOR PROXIES!
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M WRITING IN CAPITALS!
