This rule honestly sucks for anyone who likes art sleeves, not only are they hard to come by (even moreso for good quality ones) but now even if they’re something like dragon shield they just can’t be used, way to go, Konami, you just ruined a decent chunk of sleeves forever

[@TheSandwhichman108]

First the game Komeny makes the game more and more expensive to play. (THERE JUST PIECES OF CARD BOARD WITH IMAGES ON THEM WTF!) Now they’re just being petty by forcing us to spend more money to use only there sleeves and playmates in official tournaments…

I have had a complication a few times where my opponent had forgotten I had set cards as they kind of blended into the mat, I had asked previously if they could see them and they said yes. And it’s not like I’m obligated to ask every 5 seconds if they can still see my cards.

I don't think you can use their official sleeves anyway. They get damaged after even light shuffling. I'm pretty sure you can still use clear matte oversleeves for them though.

It’s already bad enough that the some of the judges at those events are so uptight that they would mostly likely enforce this policy outside of feature matches cause if I get tossed Konami licenseed sleeves being told I can’t use my Dragonshield sleeves I will simply tell them “I am not sleeving my cards with these cheap ass garbage sleeves that easily fall apart.”
