Do you double sleeve? (sopuli.xyz)

Do you double sleeve your decks? Why / why not?

I don't have that much first hand experience but here's a quick literary review of random internet posts:

Pros

  • Cards are protected from liquids
  • Keeps foils planar
  • Top part of the card is protected from dirt
    • Is this really such a problem?
  • Some people like the shuffle feel
  • Cards remain single sleeved when you remove the outer sleeves and put them into a binder

Cons

  • More costly
  • Thicker decks, especially in 100 card formats
  • Deck boxes become tight, trouble fitting tokens etc.
  • Shuffling may become more cumbersome

Lot's of good points. Thanks for chiming in.

How do you shuffle the big 100 card decks? Mash shuffle the whole thing on the table or something else?

I section mine, start small add more cards to it. But I have been playing since the week magic released, and one of my first decks was called "cards i like" and it was about 300 cards total.
