I usually sleeve cards with dragon shield clear matte but I’m looking to sleeve some mini-cards for Nemesis. So I wanted to know which brand you all use to help me decide.

    For normal-sized cards I used Ultra Pro but found some of them rather sticky. Not sure if they also have smaller sized sleeves

      Yeah that’s why I use dragon shields for normal cards. Tried out some cheaper first when i started to sleeving normal card but the feel of premium sleeves was worth the price difference for me.

      Ultra Pro’s matte sleeves are really good for shuffling and not sticking. I know that people also like a few other brands, but that is what I used when I was actively playing a A:NR in tournaments that required a lot of shuffling. I would think any decent quality matte sleeve would work well, they also avoid the issue with cheap sleeves where the decks do not have enough friction to stay put.

    I’m sad that Asmodee killed off FFG’s sleeves, but the GameGenic sleeves have been holding up for me just fine and seem to be regularly in stock.

    I use gamegenic for everything just because I like the matte and it’s easy to obtain as a retailer.

    But the arcane tinmen matte with the 50 card tuckbox is worth it just for the tuckbox haha

    I recommend the website sleeveyourgames, it tells you the size and quantities you need. Here is the link for Nemesis

    You aren’t going to find anything as thick as dragon shield for that size. Personally I recommend the Gamegenic Matte sleeves, I think they are great. Note that for gamegenic “matte” means anti glare, not a rugged back. Both sides of the sleeve are the same.

      Thanks for the recommendation! Was already contemplating anti-glare sleeves for shuffle-feel after some of my Youtube research. Was looking at the Arcane Tinmen matte sleeves but didn’t find anything about Gamegenic ones, they seem like a great choice!

      I use Gamegenic matte sleeve of all sizes for all my games. They are the best combo of price and quality in my opinion.

        Totally agreed. I’ve been using them on all new games and gradually re-sleeving the old ones :P
