Sleevs - Dragon Shield/Bushiroad art sleeves, Oversleevs - Dragon Shield/occasional Ultra-pro but manning Dragon shields, playmats - 0DP(stitch borders RULE!), boxes - Ultra-pro/ultimate guard BUT you are the second person that recommends DSh nests so 100% will try them out👍.
1st Sleeve : Vanguard logo/ Kamui / Blau 2nd Sleeve : Dragon Shield matte Deck box : Any Bushiroud deck boxs And the drone beg can put 8 decks in thier
YAS! DRAGON SHIELDS! I Freaking love those sleeves. I have a Tendency to Triple Sleeve my decks, and DS Sleeves have that thickness i love when handling/Shuffling my decks.
@@SolemnVanguard I don't really play at Major events. Just whenever me and a few mates get together to brawl it out. But yes it is..... Problem is, finding deck boxes that fit 50+ triple sleeves inside of them. So i just by Large Storage Boxes for deck boxes. Kinda like what came with the Jap Legend decks, or Starter+ Trial decks. :P
Sleeve: Kadokawa's standard size anime sleeve or bushi character sleeve Outer: bushiroad clear matte standard outer Deckbox: either bushi or other japanese brand Playmat: custom order/bushi
Sleeve - Bushiroad Vanguard sleeves Oversleeve - KMC Card Barrier Perfect Hard Deckbox - Bushiroad Vanguard Deck boxes Play mat - A variety of Vanguard mats (Wailing Thavas, V Maelstrom, V Greidhol, etc.)or a Ultrapro SAO II Yuuki playmat
I have my odmg zanbaku mat and use bushiroad sleeves for the character art oversleeved in dragon shield clears, my deck boxes are all ultimate guard boulders packed into a Superhive
I just got into vanguard lately, this is some really helpful video, about my accessories, I use double sleeve but i don't know the brand and for the deck box I custom made it from scratch, i don't have the playing board yet though, i've never actually got a chance to cardfight other then in vanguard zero
Sleeves: Dragon Shield matte! I use a couple of Bushiroad art sleeves for gift markers and the G-zone. Oversleeves: Ultimate Guard Katana standard size. I used the same Dragon Shields too, but goddamn, I love these! I prefer single sleeving though, at the moment they protect my only premium deck. Mats: Any official mats fitting the game I play. For Vanguard I own quite some sneak preview mats. I'm indifferent to the borders being stitched or not. I don't use custom mats. Deckbox: I used Ultra Pro clear x2000, as they remain 'themed' with any deck for any card game, as long as the sleeves are. :P I'm slowly upgrading to Ultimate Guard Sidewinders for the Vanguard decks I'm certain I'll keep, for the same reason you stated: MAGNETS! I keep my dice in a seperate simple deck box, by the way. Dice: I have a collection of differently colored 6-sided dice. Good thing you mentioned the part about Magic D20's. I was on the fence of buying a couple Heavy Metal ones, so I think I will now. ;)
Sleeves- bushiroad or dragon shield art inners, dragon shield clear matte outers, deckbox is the ultimate guard sidewinder and I use any rubber playmat
Inner Sleeves: Bushiroad Japanese size character sleeves Outer Sleeves: Bushiroad outer sleeves for Japanese size sleeves Deck Box: plastic Bushiroad character ones or Ultimate Guard Flip Deck Box Playmat: Bushiroad character ones or Ultra Pro It's nice to see that Dragonshield sponsors you. I really like they products.
Ever since bushiroad changed their policy regarding matte sleeves and official events I'm considering just switching completely to using katana for all my double sleeving purposes
Quick thing in-case you haven't had any comments about it, the D20 dice is typically seen in table-top RPGs like D&D, Pathfinder etc. There is also 10-sided, and 12-sided dice, as well as Percentile (two 10-sided dice, but one is set at intervals of ten--10, 20,30,40 to 00) You can usually just look into any tabletop sections in stores. The most common plastic dice are Chessex, and they're alright. If you want to go a bit further, you can also invest in Metal dice. They are more expensive but they can feel very satisfying and hefty when you roll them (so less likely to roll onto a random number when using higher-sided dice). Look into sites like Amazon, Skullsplitter Dice as just a few places for any d20, d10, or d12 dice. Many of these sites even can include sets of dice that typically get you: 1d20, 2d10, 1d12, 2d6 (sometimes more), and 1d4. Lots of colors and designs. I play D&D, and as such--I am almost obligated to scour the internet for nice-looking dice.
0dmg playmat. Dragon shield both japanese and standard sized Currently ultimate guard xenoskin boxes. I like them but i will definitely have to try out the nests. I also have a bcw box. I like the compact dice tray in it but it doesn't hold as much sadly.
Sleeves - Japanese sized sleeves from all over the place and either Bushiroad brand oversleeves or KMC Hyper Matte Clear Standard sleeves. I've got Dragon shields on the inside of some of my decks, but I am very fond of KMC Hyper Matte Clear Standard sized for the outside. Almost every single one of my Standard decks have them. Deck boxes - I feel like I cheapen out on my deck boxes over anything else. I tend to use either 60 card Ultra Pro or 80 card Ultimate Guard. If I upgrade at all, it will be to get rid of the Ultra Pros when they break or fade and exchange them for Ultimate Guards... although I like the look on that nest one. My Aqua Force Standard deck sits in the what I think is called the M2 by Ultra Pro.The design is a little bit different from the one you use, but is very similar in function. Dice - 36 count assortment of D6s with a galaxy design (lots of blues, greens, and purples with gold pips). I don't remember the brand, but it's probably like Chessix or whatever the primary dice brand is. Playmats - This is the best part. I have 2. I either use my Great Daiyusha playmat complete with the DifferentFight Seal of Approval (and stitched border) from Zero Damage Gaming OR my Custom-made "The Wind Propels the Worthy" Aqua Force (from left to right, Genovious/Valeos/Thavas) playmat from Royalty Playmat Designs (again with stitched border, of course). Both are housed together in a dual playmat tube, courtesy of Monster.
I remember the first deck I bought art sleeves for. Got the official bushi sleeves of Minerva for my Minerva deck. Absolutely immediately put them in these jp oversleeves that had this neat silver border design to outline the art. If you're going to be using art sleeves ALWAYS OVERSLEEVE. The art sleeves and holographic sleeves will peel up and easily become damaged and in a tournament that can absolutely be considered marking cards even if the damage was unintentional.
inner sleeve : Preferably Yugioh sleeve since it gives the perfect fit to Dragon shield Transparent Matte sleeve. Over-sleeve : Dragon shield transparent matte sleeve (same as yours) Playmat : official playmats from bushiroad, kadokawa etc Deckbox : Pokemon suit case for multiple decks & Ultimate Guard deckbox for Tournament usage (that can fit dice) Dice : same as yours
Other mat you could get is mtg mat where there is no symbol decal and it all mostly art work cover which is basically good to use it for vanguard but for beginner you may want to get the one with the decal symbol
The Satin Tower problem can also be applied to the sleeves as well. Rule of thumb, never buy sleeves of the same color from two different stores. Chances are the sleeves will be different from each other.
Goodness we have the same experiences with accessories. I had the same issies with Satin Towers, of which I bought 8 before switching to Ultimate Guard Flip N' Trays. I also got the Easter Limited Edition sleeves because they are freaking adorable (and limited edition). I want to put my G Zone in those sleeves but I don't want to cover the Bushiroad sleeves I use now so I use them for other games. I like the idea of using 20-sided dice for power instead os stacking 6 sided dice
I use whatever sleeves, usually with anime or bushiroad designs Standard dragon shield clear mattes (I have some Kmc hyper mattes before the formula change) Gem playmat, or sometimes a random arg playmat if I'm feeling lazy A bunch of ultra pro mini dice Bushiroad deck boxes
Sleeves are same as you, DS over-sleeves with standard interior, though I've found that Ultimate Guard makes a great JP size under-sleeve so there's a few with Jp sleeves and those. Deck box is various Bushi anime boxes in a UG ArkHive, it's the over-sleeve of deck boxes.
Sleeve : Bushiroad Oversleeve : Bushiroad Hard Matte Deckbox : Ultra-Pro Pro Deckbox Playmat : Wailing Thavas I really want those stitched border playmat, maybe someday I can afford it
Normally, my inner sleeves are Bushiroad Character sleeves for decks I care a lot about and Ultra Pros of most any kind (Matte, gloss, I'm not fussed as long as it protects the cards in some way.) if it's a deck I'm not too attached to. The character sleeves are normally themed with the deck I'm playing, featuring the main boss unit, I.e., Pacifica sleeves for a Pacifica deck. Recently, though, I've been using Ultimate Guards for solo sleeved decks and they're pretty nice. With regards to oversleeves, I stan a good Ultra Pro Standard ProMatte, they've never steered me wrong in the 7 or so years I've been playing this game. They shuffle really well, they're clean and they're cheap so, if there's ever a need to replace them, they don't cost the earth. I'm not the biggest fan of textures on my card sleeves, so they fit that bill quite nicely as well. Deck boxes will often be the character-themed Japanese-style boxes, featuring characters from video games or shows that I like, though again, it's normally a Bushiroad product themed with my deck's ace unit. And my mats are normally just whatever I can find that I like the look of. I've recently switched to stitched borders, because previous mats I've had are beginning to fray and I'm not okay with them falling apart on me having spent so much on them lol
Playmat: Just find a cool looking one on amazon or something, then self border it (first few I did were janky, but they turn out quite well now) Inner sleeve: kmc perfect size Outer sleeve: ultra pro eclipse Box: dragon shield nest (only 1 plus for dice, that holds my favorite deck so its always with me) then slowly getting more of the smaller ones for other decks. Dice: I use my D20's from magic the gathering (which I still play loads) but also my lgs sells little bundles of various dice of different side counts that I got for D&D so I have 2 unlabeled D20 aswell.
I use Bushiroad character sleeves (Either anime character or logo). Dragon Shield clear matte standard size for oversleeving (Big thanks to you, I've been using them for over a year now). I use the Ultimate Guard Twin Flip'N'Tray for my G Deck/Dice and the Ultimate Guard Boulders for my Standard Decks (Each of them coloured by Gift type). I tend to switch between my custom made Blaster Blade Exceed mat, Monarch Alfred sneak preview mat or my WoW Lich King/Tirion mat (Paladins/Granblue) :P
I agree with the dragon shield. I decided to try them cause of your pass video and I really like then haven't used another over sleeve since. Also my playmate finally came apart from a stitching error I think lol it perfect.
I've been using the standard clear Dragon Shield (same as the ones shown in the video) as my outer sleeve for double sleeving as well. One problem I've found is that after some shuffling and general use, the inner japanese size art sleeves kind of 'fall down to the bottom opening' of the standard sized Dragon Shields, leaving a weird space on the other side of the sleeve. This of course means that I have to push back the inner sleeve and the card every so often, which gets annoying after a while. One alternative is that I put the 'inner sleeve' upside down then the standard sized Dragon Shields right side up so that the inner sleeve doesn't fall down towards the opening, but this means that the usually vertical art of the japanese sized sleeve becomes placed in the wrong orientation as well; and aside from that, it becomes the card itself that 'falls down to the bottom opening' inner sleeve after some light use and I'd have to remove the outer sleeve just to push the card back to the 'top border' of the said inner sleeve. (Hopefully my explanation is understandable so far) Has anyone else encountered this problem as well? And how did you solve or mitigate the issue if ever?
Usually, if you push the sleeve vacuum-ish it doesn't really happen often anymore. IF it still happens, I just tap the deck against a table in the opposite direction to "shock" the cards back
Sleeves - Dragon shield to double sleeves. Ultra pro for my least favorite clans and Bushiroad sleeves for my favorite clans. Dices -Chesssex 6 dices might go for different kind of dices for premium or standard Deck box - Satin tower. Note I might switch to ultimate guard due to the deck box getting loose Playmat - any design that best fits the clan I play. Still trying to find a good theme mat for Shadows and Royals
Can’t wait to build my Messiah Standard Deck after Deletor (Also Wish me a good luck to get the Star Gate Nation Progenitor Dragon & Link Joker G Units) Needs A Lot Of Money 😭
Sleeves: Ultra Pro Eclipse Sleeves, those things are one of the best. Deck Box: Ultimate Guard Boulder. They are so sturdy, they are NOT going to open without considerable force. Playmat: None. And some random 6 sided die I found somewhere.
Oh and just a PSA dragon shield sleeves while awesome can have their bad batches aswell lol I just got some pink matte for my monk black pauper mtg deck and they just refuse to shuffle something about a film on the sleeves from being at the beginning or end of a run or something. They feel almost impossible to shuffle w/o damaging the cards sonic you run into something like that just contact dragon shield and they usually replace em :)
Sleeve: Japanese size sleeves or bushi character sleeves Outer: Dragonshield brightly colored standard sleeves Deckbox: UltraPro or other Playmat: custom order/bushi
I find scrapbooking materials to be thematically appropriate for counting power on the problematic decks mentioned. Small ceramic flowers, for example, could count 10k power for Neo Nectar, and any 1-9k power could be counted by die.
I use for double sleeving the Bushiroad brand over sleeves BSLC-007 . you should really try them out before sticking with Dragon Shield IMO.. they are better feet by far and will survive the same 😉
i personally use bushiroad art sleeves(standard size) in bushiroad oversleeves as for deck boxes i use ulimate guard and bushiroad art ones. deck chests/cases i just make my own or i use the bushiroad ones
Most chara sleeves I found that suits my flavour are standard size, not mini or japanese size, had to find a third layer sleeve(bigger than standard, standard is considered second layer right here) For playmat, just use a mouse pad.
Monster Protector deck box, Monster Protector Flat Matt Sleeves (the odd grain feel is so weird but nice to the touch, IMO) and Khalsa Brain Games’ Spellground playmat.
I use Zero Damage Blaster Dark playmat (reverse gender coz duh grils) Vanguard sleeves (fighter climax/color circle) Broccoli oversleeves (because they are quite cheap for the price and sleeves kinda break easily over time especially clear sleeves when they are used alot they tend to be "not clear" anymore i guess ? So changing it regularly with my college budget is the way to go) As for deckbox, i am using a custom leather deckbox, works pretty well for me and its sweet
I tend to use the Bushi character sleeves with Bushi oversleeves on the decks I really care about and ultra pro for the rest. I use a Bushi playmat featuring Dragon Masquerade, Harri 'cause he's my boi, and I tend to use the nice Bushi character deck boxes for my favorite decks and ultra pro for the rest
Reason with the d20's, I believe is due to the fact that a lot of d20s arent really d20, they are life counters from magic. Magic life counters goes down in order with the numbers next to each other. This essentially means, if you're good at bullshit rolling the dice, you can get it to land on the side that will have 15,16,17,18,19 and 20 on it.
for dice i think i like my costume dice since... i make it with a tape and paper so its really cheap same with deck box i make it but i laminated the paper first so it cant be torn easily for sleeves i prefer ultimate guard sleeve or bushiroad character sleeves with bushiroad hard outersleeves and playmat i still searching it but i like the hypermat one just because my friend give it to me when i was birthday
I use Chessex 6 sided dices but I do have one 20 sided dice, not sure what brand it is as it was all jumbled up in a tin at the cardshop. I use clear overlayer sleeve to sleeve my cards, since I can still see the sleeve's art. Here's a tip on riffle shuffle to avoid (or at least lessen the chances) of your sleeves splliting. Riffle shuffle at the base of the sleeve. As the base doesn't have an opening thus splitting will be abit harder.
@@SolemnVanguard ahh I see. Anyway, I wanna ask, does the putting the dragon shield over the Japanese sleeve leaves a lot of space? What I mean is the spacing between the 1st sleeve and the oversleeve
Man, I feel dumb. I had two decks double sleeved with dragon shield mattes but I had both openings on the same side for both the inner and outer sleeve. Thanks!
Wil you maybe make the option to order playmat with your own design I really like makeing fan art and i like the border with art on it so i would really like that (It's not my intion to be rude I really like your playmat design. I was just wondering)
For me it depends on the deck when it comes to sleeves. Usually I double sleeve with Dragon Shields, using different colors depending on the theme of the deck, (gold inside, I outside with Messiah for example). When it comes to DS clear Matte and Bushi sleeves, there's so much of a gap between the sleeves that I don't really like the combo as much. I also like using KMC mini sleeves with perfect fit inner sleeves for some decks that I think work better with KMC's colors. (D Police with blue for example). They also have a super smooth shuffle feel. As for boxes, I often go with Boulder 100 cases. They're budget, super compact, and do the job very well for me. As for mats (I would love a 0dmg gaming mat, I hope you guys are working on a Messiah one wink wink) I usually just just whatever I'm feeling that day, primarily a rubber Yu-Gi-Oh mat or a metamats cloth mat.
@@raejhanlarki.salaria2982 I use the 100s for premium. Standard 80 is fine. But since this comment is a year old, I've gone to using Ultimate Guard Sidewinders that are stored in a Superhive.
A good dice have。Few point 1sty. With lesser surface thebetter to make it balance. and thre donts on the dice should be very thin flim thatnot casue the weight on each surface to be different. Last the dice must be clear to show there is not air bubble or worst weighted. Obaque dice are easily modify by player to cheat. Best example is to see the Casino dice. They cost alot but they are good.
I've personally switched over to utilizing Katana sleeves for oversleeping and have been quite happy with the results myself. I feel like they outclass the clear dragon shields
So I just have clear counters, but whenever I add them, I state “1 counter = X” or something. And as a Spike/Tachi/Mega player, it’s really handy to say how much each is, but some cards like Deathrex and Panther get covered in counters regardless lol
I just ordered my first trial deck (link joker)? I think? Lol and some ultra pro eclipse Japanese sized sleeves if I like the game I'll double sleeve them and invest more into the game who knows maybe it will take over as my main tcg eventually over mtg lol.
Sleeves: Bushiroad Mini Outer Sleeves: Bushiroad Mini Outer HARD Deckbox: Bushiroad Character Deckbox Deckcase: Broccoli Cardboard Deckcase Playmat: Bushiroad Character Playmat. lol.
i don't know if worlds actually forces you to play bare sleeve but i'am using the Z sleeve product ,and lately bushiroad also releases those kind of product might wanna check them out !
Regarding the dice thing; I used pokemon and force of will dice on worlds round 1 stream LOL I dont think they really crack down on it, but i was worried that they wouldnt allow me to use them
The only problem I have with sleeves is dirt, and I really want to know how to prevent that. My hands are always cleaned, but I can't say the same for my opponents, and it seems like there's always concentrated dirt on the sleeves. Any suggestions? It's annoying having to constantly get new oversleeves (particularly Dragonshield Matte that I also use).
SnidMist they are easily available on TCGplayer, as you go in supplies then best selling. Other than that, on eBay just search “dragon shield mini” or “dragon shield japanese” Hope that helps
0:48 Once in a shop tournament in Argentina, some jackass was playing Royal Paladín Gyze without sleeves. Even the Gzone was unsleeved. Probably he was trolling us or something...
Hey boys. Just wanted to ask something about double sleeving. When i check the size of bushiroad and dragon shield standard sleeves their hight size is the same or actually the bushiroads are 1mm bigger (bushiroad - 89mm dragonshield - 88mm) or the numbers are just not exact ? Can you really use bushiroad art sleeves + dragonshield standard clear matte over them without a problem ? Thanks :)
whats thoughts between the bushiroad clear mini over sleeves compared to dragon matte do the dragon matte need less changing/get less scuffed/dirty after lets say a few months of play? my set up is a mat I've has for many years, a custom mat i got at a expo, tried using and getting new mats but none feel as good to play on as the one i always use, my deck box is usually just a bushiroad deck box or ultimate guard magnet deck box and the vanguard sleeves and bushiroad clear mini sleeves
