So which side up is the correct way to sleeve your cards? Bottom of card to bottom of sleeve or the opposite?

mr. mephistopheles posted:That's serious bullshit that Wizards straight altered it. I would have demanded they remove my credit. I hope their policy is better now. Invasion, Odyssey and Onslaught blocks all had zealous photoshopping done for some reason. Almost any card art with Kamahl has had his hair photoshopped out. (You can still see some of it on Kamahl's Desire). Same with Seton who had a major design change. They also had to digitally remove a bunch of saddles from the centaurs in Odyssey block. Guiltfeeder had goofy legs added to it in post. Defiling Tears went from This to This. The change in art directors mostly put the kibosh on that.

whydirt posted:Given the number of sets and settings WotC has to make for Magic, especially now that they put out two unique blocks each year, it was pretty much inevitable that we'd get Dragon World eventually. If you don't like dragons, that's cool, but this set isn't for you. Both Avacyn Restored and Dragons of Tarkir are standalone big sets, so it's not like we're seeing old-school 3 set blocks with these heavy tribal themes like we might have in olden times. They really aren't any different than any other creature other than they fly. *shrug* I guess they're sort of battlecruisery if you hate that sort of thing.

I can understand the change in Defiling tears because the full art looks like a creature, specifically an angel (Desolate Angel or Fallen Angel). Now it's focused more on the face, where the tears are.

Bottom of card to bottom of sleeve or the opposite? the perfect fit should be open at the bottom of the card, the dragonshield / kmc should be open at the top. efb really? to answer your followup: Rinkles posted:Curious about the reason for the differentiation. The perfect fit is the inner sleeve when you're doublesleeving. You want the openings to be opposite so that way poo poo doesn't get inbetween the sleeve and the card. You want the outer sleeve to be open on the top because it keeps cards from working their way out of teh sleeve when you are riffling them in your hand repeatedly while your opponent tanks.

As long as every card is sleeved the same way, you're good. Count Bleck posted:Dust gets in the first sleeve but not the second. Also this.

Rinkles posted:Curious about the reason for the differentiation. If you put the opening at the bottom on a Perfect Fit and the opening at the top on the outer sleeve, the top edge of your card stays protected from dust and wear (you do get a bit of top edge wear even in sleeves); you also get some degree of liquid proofing if some dude drops a beer on your cards since it would have to go all the way to the bottom of the sleeve to get your card wet.

If you doublesleeved the same direction the top of the card would see considerably more wear.

Also the responses are about double sleeving but I don't see that in the question? If you're just single sleeving it doesn't matter as long as all your sleeves point in the same way as everyone ahs said. mr. mephistopheles posted:If you doublesleeved the same direction the top of the card would see considerably more wear. Also it would defeat the purpose of double sleeving which is to form some kind of plastic "seal" to keep poo poo from getting onto the card itself

Zoness posted:Also the responses are about double sleeving but I don't see that in the question? When single-sleeving (which is all I do now, I'm lazy) I prefer the opening at the top. The reason being that gravity will pull the cards downwards and out of the sleeve as you hold them in your hand, which increases the chances for it to either fall out entirely (unlikely) or to poke out and create the opportunity for edge-wear. I've never seen anyone sleeve them with the opening at the bottom, actually.

I've never seen anyone sleeve them with the opening at the bottom, actually. I accidentally sleeved my first modern deck with all the perfect fits opening up, and I didn't care enough to fix them so I just put the regular sleeves on upside down. The only reason I could ever tell the difference was the Ultrapro hologram was on top of the card.

This is actually why I don't use Hyper Mattes unless I'm double-sleeving - they're a little too big so the card moves around in the sleeve if they aren't double sleeved and then the card gets wear on the edge.

I fold the card over and shove that motherfucker in sideways. That way, I play based on the art, and can more easily recognize what the opponent has out. Yeah, all my cards are considered damaged because of the creasing, but if someone steals my 16000 dollar vintage deck, I can always identify it. joke about that dude that white borders his decks.

Are there clear sleeves designed to go over top of normal sized sleeves (which could have perfect fits inside them already) to protect them or did I just imagine that in a fever dream?

Of course if you want to be fully protected you put each of those triple-sleeved cards inside a hard toploader. I mean, sure, your deck will be ten inches tall, but you can't be too careful.
