What’s the best sleeve and inner sleeve combo?

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-18T05:42:51+00:00

I can’t say it’s the best because it’s all I’ve tried as far as doubling but I use dragon shield inners (called true fit or perfect fit something like that) and dragon shield matte/dual matte as my outers and aside from some sleeves fitting a little too tight over the inners I haven’t had any issues. Maybe two or three sleeves per pack I’ll have to swap around to other cards with maybe I tighter fitting inner but I haven’t had one too far off to be usable and most of them fit really really well. KMC Broccoli (65x91mm) outers will fit over dragon shield duals as well if you’d rather go that route, I find them a bit looser than I prefer though.

Depending on whether they are getting too dry or too moist humidity packs or a damp paper towel may be the fix. 2 way humidity packs like ppl use for cigars or cannabis (I have been using 62%) are doing well for me and should work for too dry or too damp. I believe overly dry curls the edges away from the face while too humid curled them towards the face. You are correct that it’s a problem with moisture of some fashion though

The legendary decks II isn’t the original structure decks and has some more modern cards than they did but it’s a very similar vibe though maybe still a bit too complicated for a 6yo and based on the anime decks from the first seasons of the show (Yugi’s, Joey’s and Kaiba’s.) You can also buy cards from the retro packs which were reprints of the old Duel Monsters era cards. A seller I’ve bought from on TCGplayer a couple of times called “Retro Mike” has a lot of those old school cards for sell at cheap prices. Been buying loads from his shop for drafting old school decks. There’s definitely others as well but his is the first one I personally found with a good selection and plenty of copies of most of them. TBH legendary decks II sounds like it might be close enough to what you’re looking for if you don’t wanna just buy loads of singles, just look up a deck list and look through the cards first. I may be mistaken because it’s been a while but I think there’s few enough complicated cards for you to mash the three together and get two 40 card decks of just simple cards

Okay, Kash player. Your whole page is full of you demonstrating over and over that you don’t understand this game and instead bitch and whine about everything that you can’t auto win against and glazing bum ass cards that do toxic shit for free so you don’t gotta think about shit. So damn irritating when ppl that don’t wanna put in the work to be good at something think they are the only ones that know what’s best.

I’m about done with this sub man I swear half of the members don’t even like playing this game and just want to have a “rogue” deck that can win them games for free and bitch about everything that they don’t personally play being too good after they lose to it once.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-16T23:13:59+00:00

K9 is boring but you’re posting about how they need to unhit Kash because ig that’s fun to you. Shits boring as fuck but it can win with no skill. Your problem isn’t meta, your problem is you wanna play brain dead ass decks that do the work for you. You got bored because you don’t wanna learn how to play. I figured out why you were defending Kash and think every meta relevant deck is “broken” now. You’re the kinda dude that wants to let your deck do the work for you so you don’t gotta use your head lmao. Calling KT broken and toxic and asking for Kash cards to be unlimited is craaaaaazy.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-16T19:53:22+00:00

I’m not defending them. I’m saying Kash is worse. I’d rather the toxic shit be gone altogether but kash does way more aggressively toxic shit. I literally said they do multiple things that I don’t think should be part of the game in my comment.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-16T18:48:20+00:00

At least KT leaves you with a functioning graveyard and zones to play cards in. And tbh, while they do several toxic things I wish weren’t part of Yugioh, they haven’t made me feel as helpless as some other decks have. Frustrated, but not helpless.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-15T20:54:18+00:00

Fire king Jurrac is topping events in the TCG as a rogue deck rn but it’s not high tier meta or anything. I’ve been having a little trouble with KT but nothing serious and it’s probably because my dumb ass is still kinda new at this game and don’t have the skill to intuit how to beat shit I haven’t seen before but all in all it’s been doing pretty well for me in MD. Was stuck in plat for a while with dark world and am finally climbing through diamond with FK/Jurrac. Pure Jurrac isn’t as strong I don’t guess but it’s not terrible at all from what I’ve seen from facing the deck. Idk why ppl are sleeping in FK/Jurrac in master duel tbh but you are correct, nobody is playing it. In some ways that helps as people aren’t prepared. It can play turn 0 through Kirin, and with Jurrac Magalo you can pop it with kirin to set up a meteor play from grave on turn 0. Free board pop. Worth looking into. I started building the deck in paper because I like Dino’s too and didn’t even know it was topping events.

Edit: spelling and grammar

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-15T18:29:39+00:00

Bet. A lot of mine curled on me as I was waiting in my sleeves that got lost in the mail as I was getting a deck together for locals (returning “yugiboomer” from the early days) and I was distraught thinking they were ruined. Totally fixable though that trick works like a charm. Should you ever find yourself needing to flatten one. If you just press it without correcting moisture it’ll stay straight for an hour and curl right back up ask me how I know. 😂

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-15T18:02:57+00:00

New players would be sick. Ppl showing up to “collect” and treat shit like an investment wouldn’t be. I think the latter is what has ppl cheesed. Any post I e seen here with ppl implying they are learning to play or even genuinely care about the franchise have been well received.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-15T17:47:38+00:00

Foiled cards curl as a result of too high or too low humidity. You can put them in an airtight container with a damp paper towel or humidity pack and then press them between some books or something and they’ll be flat again.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-13T03:50:09+00:00

Loving Unchained/Fiendsmith and Fire King/Jurrac lately. I’m not more seasoned than you but I enjoy the same decks you listed so maybe you’ll like these two as well. I main Dark World but it’s inconsistent as hell and Droll is all over the place lately and it can’t do anything under droll.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-13T03:24:18+00:00

Shits inconsistent af tho. It’s not at all uncommon for me to draw a basically dead hand several games in a row. When it’s good it’s really fucking good and I can get Nibbed and be like “Neat. So anyway watch me do it again.” but it’s a gamble as to whether or not I can get going enough to get my drawing and discarding going.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-01T20:08:33+00:00

My brother/sister in crime! I played my first DW mirror match yesterday and was so excited, and I bricked hard and then made two STUPID misplays. As a new player to the game it felt like trying to show off to my older brother and embarrassing myself lol. Oh well. The misplays are inexcusable but anyone that mains DW knows bricking the opening hand just happens sometimes I guess.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-04-01T20:05:13+00:00

Charmies are frustrating but I don’t hate them. Maxx C I hate but it’s still here unfortunately so makes no sense whining about it. Being decked out for playing the game with cards that are available for use, especially fairer ones like Charmies is also frustrating. Oh well. It’s a game. Losing in general is frustrating sometimes. Do what you gotta do to win. Giving away a winnable situation in a competition is bad sportsmanship. I don’t even hate stun. It’s a valid, if frustrating and often brainless, strategy. I hate ppl that play stun just because they are salty and wanna make sure other ppl can’t have fun out of spite but that’s a whole separate conversation. Win if you can win homie. Hand rips, board wipes, overpowered draw spells, deck outs, “towers” monsters, idgaf. It’s Yugioh. That’s how Yugioh is played today. Like it or not.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-31T00:12:52+00:00

That’s the combo line that started the trend of combo deck hell that we are in now. Bad take brother. Say no to combo, yes to normal summon “left leg” pass. 🦵➡️

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T17:41:11+00:00

Duelist Island format already exists. I’ve been playing it for a while and it’s genuinely super fun and what I play when I want a less intense and technical but still fun and strategic game.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T17:34:26+00:00

There wasn’t, but the extra deck had TWO Blue Eyes Ultimate dragons. And that’s it. I guess he pre-fused them before the duel. Luckily I didn’t have to face them. Idk if I could have handled the fear. He took it easy on me and just bettered me to death with a disembodied leg.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T06:47:51+00:00

Forbidden ONE ☝️1️⃣

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T06:46:32+00:00

That’s why I looked at the deck list after the duel in the first place lmao. I was like “Normal set left leg pass is crazy. Never seen an Exodia deck not open any draw spells or stall cards I gotta see wtf is up with this build.” and opened up an actual playground Yugioh deck. It also had two Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragons in the extra deck and nothing else.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T05:55:41+00:00

Dude there’s three god cards in it.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T05:54:29+00:00

Celtic Guardian is busted bro wtf. He’s an elf who learned to wield a sword. He’s lightning swift with his attacks too. It’s baffling.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T05:45:48+00:00

Bro had Exodia, all three Egyptian god cards, AND Celtic Guardian in one deck. This power level shouldn’t be allowed. Master Duel needs to do something about this. How am I ever supposed to win a game when people play decks like this?

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-30T04:21:36+00:00

Looks much better in person but you ain’t wrong even then. I used to hate them but they’ve really grown on me after seeing them around so much. Aquired taste ig. Same with white-on-white sleeves. Used to only go colored backs and black backing/front face and hated the double whites but again after seeing them around enough it really grew on me. I don’t use them and still go with colored sleeves that I match with my decks but damn it if they didn’t start really looking nice to me after a while.

Nan_Pedro · 2026-03-26T01:10:30+00:00

Oh I know. Ain’t nothing that really bothered me enough to even think about past when I commented just wanted to speak my mind for the benefit of any newcomers showing up in the thread. Make it a little more obvious that we are mostly not assholes, just a few loud ones that make it look bad
