Double sleeving Legion
Gear forum

What are the best inner sleeves to go underneath legion? I know it's not recommended because it's tricky to do, but I love the matte skull sleeves too much on my reaminator deck. If there is nothing that fits underneath legion can anyone point me to another sleeve that has similar art?
I have legion matte sleeves, and both the Ultra Pro Perfect Sizes and the KMC's work fine!

I would argue deck protector sleeves that fit over the legions, also. They arec ommonly known as penny-sleeves to go over the legion sleeves. This will protect them from wear and tear from shuffling, such as peeling and splitting. They would keep those sleeves lasting longer than normal. With the perfect fit, this is 'triple-sleeving' but well worth the effort to keep the designer sleeves in beautiful condition in addition to the extra protection for your cards.
A lot of people do this for their more expensive decks but it's great for keeping your outer sleeves in mint condition also.

VampireArmy that guy's voice throws me off a bit but he brings up good points.

I don't like to do the double outer sleeve, a la penny sleeve over another sleeve. I think it looks odd and unattrative, though I do see how it would protect the actual sleeve. I just use a good batch of dragon shields or KMC hyper mats with KMC perfect sizes for my expensive decks, or Ultra Pro pro mattes for budget decks. I haven't used the ultra pro version of KMC perfect sizes, which they call "Pro Fit." Maybe I'll outfit my budget decks with those to see how they perform with other Ultra Pro sleeves, which they were designed for.

I'll get some KMC perfect fits. That video was helpful, I agree his voice is different but the channel looks good.

The dude has very solid vids. I think he's got an account on here, too.

Another option if you are starting with no sleeves is the Turquoise dragonshields. They have a different cut which makes them seem almost like KMC but they have the same strength of normal dragonshields.
Here is a video comparing all three.

Same, I also prefer the external clear shield over the regular sleeves

I only have one deck double sleeved because of the monetary value of the deck. But I used UltraPro Pro-Fit sleeves sliding over the top of the card then Dragon Shield Copper sleeves going from top to bottom as normal.
This creates a weird air pocket that takes some play time to remove, and some awkward squishing... But totally worth it and after 6 months of playing with them all the cards and sleeves are in better condition than when I single sleeve the deck. Plus the foils still look amazing and crisp while the cards seem better protected from debris.

The only sleeves I know of for double sleeving are KMC Perfect Fit or Perfect Size, whatever they're called. Either way, KMC. Whether they fit into Legion outer sleeves I do not know.
