Ryker Sleeves Standard Size Matte Card Sleeves Compatible with Magic The Gathering MTG Pokemon Trading Cards and Board Games (1 Pack, Clear)

Durable, thick card protectors that are crystal clear on one side. The back side of the card has a textured effect that allows for the back of the card to be visible, but not clear enough to read text. Good for games that have a mix of card backs, where it is necessary to see the backs through the sleeve. For example, the Monster Hunter board game has different card backs for elemental damage, etc. The front of the card is clearly visible, and the backs are visible with a slightly muted effect.

These are my new go-to sleeves for MTG. They feel good, they're sturdy, and they shuffle so smoothly. The only problem is that the colors they sell are a little limited, and the amounts they're sold in don't correlate well to commander decks (100 cards). But the sleeves themselves are fantastic.

I bought these sleeves as a trial to convert a few edh decks, with initial plan being to sleeve new pack pulls etc and get a feel for them. First impressions are very good. Packaging is nice and not super excessive. Sleeves feel nice in hand and slip really smoothly past eachother when shuffling.Attached to this review are several pictures, for reference the deck shown is 100 double sleeved (kmc perfect inners) with Ryker clear sleeves on the outside. Sleeves across two packs from the same outer sleeve are all cut perfectly (small sample size but it's a very good indicator) to the same height and width. I cannot stress enough how nice shuffling with these sleeves are compared to other brands I have tried. EDH deck shuffling is a pain just due to the number of cards, double sleeving makes it even less fun, but Ryker outers make it (I think) just about as good as it can be short of actual physical hand size to deck size limitations.This review is being written during a time of non existent in person play, so my experiences with these sleeves so far are in the actual sleeving process (I use a token as a guide and haven't damaged a card yet out of 1000's double sleeved), and using them to draw test decks. In addition to replacing sleeves in my core collection because of how nice these Ryker sleeves are.Last and most importantly the other pictures I attached, three identical Mox opals, and one new print foil borderless. In the photo WITHOUT ugin, from left to right, UP deck pro, katana, Ryker. In the photo WITH ugin, from left to right starting on the top row. UP deck pro, katana. Bottom row. Ryker, and Ryker. The last photo the katana was replaced by a dragon shield non-matte (blue edge), then UP deck pro, then Ryker.I already have more of these sleeves in my cart, and don't have any plans to continue my sleeve search. This is the one for me! I highly recommend if you're looking for sleeves give them a shot, the count vs price alone is fantastic and the quality compared to popular brands further reinforces the value. I also heard somewhere that colors were in the works...so if that's your thing (it's definitely mine) keep an eye out!

They fit very nicely and they are all the same size. "Well if course!", you might say. Though there other sellers here that sell similar products but they are horrible with their production that they end up printing random sizes each cut.The back is not just random designs but a nice bubble pattern that makes it easy to see the card even if it's blurred. The shiny side is really good with it almost not being able to be seen.They shuffle so amazingly good without much effort. Not only that but they feel strong enough to play and even slap the corner as you okay a card. One thing I found surprising is the fact that they don't tumble over when they're new. Usually I would get new sleeves from others and I had to be careful so they don't fall, but these keep their structure good. Meaning that you don't have to wait for a few rounds for them to get "less slippery".Overall I'm very happy with these and I will continue to buy from them.P.S. I love packaging they come in. Feels like I'm opening a big pack of cards.

I personally think these are an excellent premium sleeve. But there are many different reasons to buy a card sleeve. See if these are right for you...I'm in the BUY category #1, #3 and #4.REASONS TO BUY:1) Your MTG deck is a thoughtfully crafted masterpiece - You have a quality deck so your sleeves should match. You'll get one of the best shuffle experiences on the market. You get thick premium sleeves that feel great in your hands. Lastly, you'll get durable sleeves that haven't split on me yet - and I shuffle hard.2) You battle Pokemon with rare or ultra rares - See above for MTG3) You play tournaments - This will save your time and energy. These are so easy to sleeve and they are fully opaque.4) You double sleeve your decks - They are easy to sleeve for single and double sleeve. I tested these with my KMC perfects and they went in easily. No bunching or inner sleeve lifting up.REASONS TO SKIP:1) You collect but don't actually play Magic the Gathering / Pokemon - there are lower quality and cheaper alternatives that will do just fine2) You're loyal to your sleeve brand - if you've played MTG or any other TCG for a while, you've no doubt experimented with many sleeve brands. It can take a lot of time and money to figure out what you like. If you've found it. Don't change. For example, I know a few friends who actually enjoy the extra step of breaking in their Dragon Shield Mattes before they shuffle properly.3) You want different color decks - I just use black mattes but if you need different colors, look elsewhere.4) Your YouTube history has a video of "how to make card sleeves at home from Ziploc bags"
