Do You Sleeve?

Limited forum

Do you sleeve tour draft deck, sealed, maybe just sealed league? Obviously you sleeve your cube, but I've come to understand that there's a few people really passionate about this on either side for somw reason.

Simon_Williamson,
Almost all the LGSs here ask us to sleeve. Mostly because anyone who uses store Lands (which are usually pretty well beat-up) can't help but play with marked cards.

I hate playing with unsleeved cards. I sleeve everything.

I dont draft too much but when I do I sleeve just because it feels nicer/is easier to shuffle.

Yes. I carry around a shitty ultrapro box with even shittier ultra pro sleeves just for drafting when I get in the mood. I use my own lands too so I can make a quick exit if I want to.

Yes I sleeve everything. I bought one of the Pirate Lab large cases so I just bring that to Drafts. I have all of my stuff in there, extra sleeves, lands, tokens, etc.

I like to use my own lands like TheDevicer said. It is usually faster and easier as I will often have most of the lands I need already sleeved up. I use the Full Art basics for Drafts as they look nice and I don't use them for anything else. I use Snow-Covered in all of my EDH decks, and my Pauper Burn uses basics from the Premier Deck Series: Fire & Lightning for flavor purposes.

I sleeve mostly because I am used to the feel of sleeved cards, and to protect my BFZ full art basics that I use, but mostly because it is much easier to overhand shuffle sleeved cards

I typically use Jon Avon Basics for drafting.

I always sleeve. Protect the cards you are playing with (since you can't just sleeve the rares). Also, if the rares get drafted out based on finishes at the end, its common courtesy as they might go to someone else.

Plus, I prefer shuffling sleeved cards and playing with them. A much better feel.

I actually set up a Limited kit. Basically, it's 24 empty sleeves with 50 sleeves holding basic lands (10 of each land type). This makes it really easy to to both sleeve up your deck (as it's halfway there already) & trim down on filler (because you have listed slots)

I sleeve everything. Easier to shuffle and then if I get cards worth taking home then they were protected while I played.

Also, at my FLGS they have a box for unwanted cards so I keep it all in good shape and then donate what I don't use. If I had left it un-sleeved, then I'm leaving played condition cards at the shop and they can't even put those in their bulk bins.

I sleeve everything I play. I like the art sleeves.
