Card Sleeves for MTG Magic The Gathering - Made in Japan, Tournament Grade, Reinforced Edges, Crystal Clear Front, Textured Matte Back (100 Count, 1 Pack, Black)

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 MTG 3) 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 fine 2) 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"

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!

I am blown away by how much I love these sleeves. They quality and shuffle feel is fantastic and the fact that they come out to around 8 cents per sleeve! Pros: *Price! *Quality *Shuffle feel *Easy to double sleeve *Consistency of sizing and cuts Cons: *They're pretty slippery, makes for easy shuffling and for thumbing through cards but I imagine with a commander deck these would be tough to keep from tipping over *not a ton of room above card when it is sleeved (very minor detail) I will definitely be ordering more of these for my 60 card decks and for sleeving binder cards. These, dragon shield mattes and kmc hyper mats are probably the only sleeves I'll see myself buying from here on out. Another small note, I have ordered 2 packs of black and 1 pack of red so far. I have noticed that the fit on the black sleeves have been damn near what I would call perfect and make for a nice solid fit, while still making double sleeving a breeze. The Reds seem to have a slightly tighter fit and aren't quite as easy to double sleeve. I highly encourage anyone looking for a great protective sleeve at an extremely reasonable price to try these out. 👍👍

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 recently purchased a bunch of a competitor's premium sleeves and ended up returning almost all of them due to different production issues across the packs. I decided to take a chance on these Ryker Sleeves, which were very close to the same price, a sawbuck for 150. First, the positives: I like the look and feel of these sleeves quite a bit. The fronts are clear and the pebbled texture on the back gives you something to grasp (and an immediate sense when you're holding the card the wrong way). As is often the case, you seem to get a "bonus" sleeve or two with each pack, which is nice. And the sleeves seem to be very sturdy; I wasn't going to sit there and try and tear one of my new ones open, but they handled my test shuffles and card inserts-and-removals with aplomb. However, much like the competition's sleeves that I returned, these sleeves have production consistency issues. Five of the first pack had very rough short-edge seals, so much so that they were both visible in a shuffled deck and you could feel them when you were shuffling. One of the sleeves somewhere in the middle of the pack had a bit of excess plastic along that top edge, which made it "ripply" in a way that was obvious when you looked at the deck from the side. And several sleeves had small amounts of excess plastic on one or the other long edge, although only one was so bad that I could consistently pick it out of the deck when I looked at the side. Now, I happened to be sleeving something that has several cards that don't get shuffled (tokens and such), so I could relegate the rough-edge sleeves to stuff where it didn't matter. But that's not true in every case, and with six of the 76 sleeves in one half-pack having issues, these become less of a deal when compared to the ultra-consistent alternatives. (I checked the top edges of the other half and they didn't seem to have any problems, but I haven't actually used them to sleeve anything just yet.) Still, I plan on keeping these, and if the production issues get worked out (and they don't bust on me in the near future) I feel these would be five-star sleeves. They're just not there yet. Update, 2019-09-22: Becca at Ryker Games contacted me and immediately began addressing my concerns with these sleeves. In the interest of full disclosure, she refunded me the cost--thanks, 100% satisfaction guarantee!--and sent me a new pack, but more importantly she made it clear that Ryker is going to look into the production issues I noticed. I've since received the replacement pack, which doesn't seem to have any problems. Given the amazing customer service and the promises of looking into the production issues, I'm revising my review; in the future, if it seems that said issues have been cleared up entirely, I'll revise it again. I can certainly say that Ryker provides an excellent customer service experience on top of their solid sleeves.

So I meant to write a review ages ago, but the are by and far the best sleeves I've bought aside from the old KMC formula. Build quality is very close to, if not equal too Dragon Shields, double sleeves exceptionally well, and the customer support was very interested in hearing about my personal experience with them. I've had my cEDH Harvest Animar deck in these sleeves, and they've held up beautifully the last few months. Foils looks fantastic through them. The ONLY issue I had is that these sleeves, upon first few uses are super slippery. This is also the case with most new sleeves, but I can help but feel like it was much more pronounced in this case. A smaller complaint was that if you plan on doing a single sleeve, it feels a *tad* loose. All of my decks are double sleeves, so this was never an issue for me. Just for the sake of science, I put a casual edh deck in it and played awhile, and the sleeves and cards both held up fantastically. Bottom line is that they're great sleeves, at a great price, from a great company. Highly recommend. Best used with double sleeves, but fine without. Be sure to be gentle with pulling your deck out the first few rounds. Aside from that, absolutely amazing product.

Really really good card sleeves. I mate prefer them over dragon shield just wish they had more colors. They shuffle really well and haven't dulled what so ever and are really smooth.

Every company has a spiel about why their sleeves are the best. It seems to me that these sleeves live up to the promises made. They feel nice and thick, no splits so far, and the matte texture on the back side is really nice. It's not a uniform matte like the Ultra-Pro sleeves I have, it's more like a lot of small bumps which feel nice in the hand without dulling the art too much. And the shuffling really is effortless, because of the matte texture on one side they don't stick together, so overhand shuffling and "mash" shuffling work great. The sleeving was the easiest I've ever done, and the fit seems great, not too loose and not too tight. If they were just a little cheaper I'd probably re-sleeve all my stuff with these, but I feel the price is fair for the quality you get. Definitely recommended. The picture just shows how big the package actually is with a pen for scale, inside the foil there are two individual packs of 75 sleeves each side-by-side.
