Hey guys, like the title says I'm looking to grab my first pack of sleeves.
From what I read online Dragon Shield seems to be the safest bet, but I also found one set of Ultra Pro that I like the look of (links below). So my 2 questions are. Is there any diference between these DS packs or is it just the amount of sleeves in them, and does anyone have experience with these UP Ixalan ones, or something similar from UP, for how durable/practical they are. They look nice, but I would definitelly go for quality over looks.
I mostly go for DS or KMC + perfect sleeves from KMC
I don't have much experience with the UP block themed sleeves, but the little experience i have is around the m2014 BFZ era (i think... i bought some kiera sleeves)... they tend to feel solid at first... but the metallic foiling peels off pretty fast from shuffling. Rather than the special print edition, i recommend plain matte colours

Pretty much this. If you want to buy the artisan sleeves, then it's pretty much a recommendation to buy the outer deck sleeves for them. Sleeves will split and experience damage. Nothing says rotten feeling than having your favorite sleeves become useless because you're now one short of a full deck.
Thank you. I ended up going with DS. I think the art on newer UP is actually printed on (at least that was the case for the Ravnica guild symbols ones), but I'm not sure if that's the case for all of them, so I'd decided not to risk it. They do look nice, but it indeed does not matter if I won't be able to use them soon. Thanks again.:)
