Man i straight up destroyed cards back in the day before i used sleeves.
You should try shuffling a regular deck of playing cards sometime, it's like shuffling paper. I was playing poker with some friends one time who thought I had a minor superpower.

I hate shuffling cause I am so paranoid that I will break something.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I like the feel of the real cards more than sleeves but I am kinda careless with shuffling and because of that I have a foil that I liked that is bent ever so slightly and it breaks my heart.
I should probably bite the bullet and get some sleeves on these babies.
are there people who don't use sleeves that aren't either A) doing a draft or antimatter
its me sleeves are dumb they're just cards get over it
Cards with high resale value. I have a fair bit of expensive cards, and I'm sure one day, I'm not going to want them anymore. It also means you can play with beat up cards and makes shuffling way smoother.
Seems like a no brainer $3 investment to me.
I can play with beat up cards and I like the feel of the paper and why would I ever sell my cards they are mine
we just dont think the same way is I guess the thing
Second two points make sense, and I'm happy to agree to disagree there, but I'm surprised the people you play with don't mind your cards being distinguishable from each other.

I'd like some sleeves that have backs that look like magic cards. That'd be neat.
And you have to use sleeves to play werewolves.

if you play in a tourney and some cards are more beat up than others the odds of someone giving you shit because you could theoretically tell what card was top-deck by the wear and tear on it go up a lot

that look like the BACKS of cards or just look like random cards
the former exists
they're a licensed thing that ultra-pro does
also not technically true re: werewolves, there's those "mark a spot for whichever two-sided card you have" cards but yeah most people sleeve them and say fuck it
the only person i've ever seen use one was actually using a sleeved deck anyway so i don't know what the fuck

I don't play very often is a big part of that
and when I do its just with friends
I am what you would call an extremely casual magic the gathering player, so casual it could be described as sporadic at best

A few weeks ago, I played a Rise of the Eldrazi draft where the sleeves for the cards were different sizes than the sleeves for lands.
This was actually a big issue, because I noticed it basically made it so you always cut to a land.

Because sleeves aren't all the same size? And he couldn't find them the exact size and color of all of his old cards that we usually use

like with generic playing cards people do crazy shuffling shit because the cards are worthless
for magic I do the one where you like, space the cards out in both hands and merge them, plus pile shuffling

I always seed my decks before I start shuffling.

You need to seed your deck then, dude.

Go through your cards. Seperate them by color and into lands. Every 2 or 3 cards of a color, insert a land that matches. Continue until you have it relatively evenly spread out.
This makes it so that your lands are really spread out when you start shuffling, so you are less likely to get huge pockets of lands or huge pockets of cards.

see that makes sense
i can do that
shit i'll do that this weekend
but you say seed and i'm like man i ain't no damn farmer

When your opponent cuts, they can shuffle it up themselves. It's seeding cause all you're doing is distributing lands and cards even, and increasing the odds of drawing a land with the right color card.

every card is awesome and cool and the game is just a shitload of fun
if i ever get past the point where i'm playing kid magic i'm burning my shit
That would be a waste. You could at least gift to your shit to another person who plays Magic like a kid. Really, if you burn your stuff, all you're doing is making things a tiny bit better for the collectors.

the way you do it steps too close to deck stacking, in my opinion
Steam
if you've already shuffled your shit up, and then you do this, and then you proceed to shuffle it again
how is that a stacked deck
all you know is "i'm not going to hit eight lands in a row after i draw a no-mana opening hand"
where's the fun in not getting color screwed

but you play magic like a seven year old

I have a set of these kind of sleeve. I enjoy them

that doesn't explain all your horseshit
ain't saying it's a bad thing
just gives the dude playing a four color deck an undue advantage
probably not a massive advantage but I hate fun
