Title: I have 97 sleeves and 99 cards
Post by: Red_Wyrm on February 14, 2020, 05:33:51 am

Okay guys. So I was reworking my nicol bolas (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nicol+Bolas) deck. From a nicol bolas (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nicol+Bolas) tribal flavor win deck to a nicol bolas (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nicol+Bolas) tribal theft deck because I dont like friends. When I was going through and switching out the cards, I realized I was missing 2 sleeves. I am poor, so buying new sleeves is a last resort.

Can anyone think of creative ways to magically pull two sleeves out of my ass?

If it helps, these are the sleeves I'm trying to replace:
Nicol Bolas, The Ravager Sleeves (https://shop.tcgplayer.com/card-sleeves/ultra-pro-card-sleeves/elder-dragon-nicol-bolas-the-ravager-standard-deck-protector-sleeves-for-magic-100-pack?utm_campaign=1616362281&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=307453494677&utm_term=&adgroupid=61489459819&gclid=CjwKCAiAhJTyBRAvEiwAln2qB5uX_ratqYG6l8asx5GDhirUAceiv4t1zo_QFfqynW2LVqgnTIkBcxoC6-gQAvD_BwE)
Dont judge me. I like my boy Nicol.

Please tell me there is some way to not have to buy an entire new pack.

Thanks!

Nope.  Sorry.  One of the reasons that I like Dragon Shield sleeves is that a box of 100 actually contains anywhere from 104 to 107 sleeves.  Plus I put my commander in a unique sleeve, so there's another extra.  I can shred several before it becomes worthless for a commander deck.

Nailed it.

Try asking reddit? Or go to your local shop and ask if they happen to have extras of the sleeves you're looking for.

This.

Like MustaKota said, your best bet is trying to ask the local shop if they happen to have any extras.

Also, sleeves with artwork on them are usually quite brittle. Not sure why but they tend to break easier.
