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

I double sleeved when I began playing because I thought that’s just what people did.

But at this point, if my cards aren’t double sleeved they feel weird in my hand.

So I double sleeve, but mostly out of imagined peer pressure and habit.
