I created this deck a year or so ago to just say "fu** it." and have fun with tribal Specters. Its been sitting neglected in penny sleeves since then, and all my other decks have been upgraded to some sort of $3.00+ a pack sleeves.I'm already using:
Max Protection - Flaming Altar
Max Protection - Thirst
Ultra Pro - Black Mana Symbol
solid Black
solid White
solid Blue
solid Red (reserved for Monored EDH)
solid Green The deck in question is primarily black, red and minor in blue. And I prefer non-character sleeves (ex: no Nicol Bolas, Ajani, Sorrin, Angel on my sleeves, just artwork or color mix.)
So, lets hear some ideas! Thanks.
Hypnotic, Needle, Sedraxis
Edict, Terminate, Grasp
Ritual, Unearth

I really like the Ultra-pro plain black sleeves. They shuffle really well and I've found them to be pretty durable.I don't like matte sleeves at all. __________________

I've got two decks in solid black already; (both monoblack). This is a grixis deck, so sleeves that match its diabolical attitude and intent to destroy people's hands is what it needs.

Ooh..I do want the bacon sleeves, but I need a red/green deck for that (roastin' the bacon,).
RTFC I don't like; I've seen them before.

I love the Legion sleeves. Got decks in RTFC, Pure Jank, and Bacon sleeves. They're hella smooth.

I settled on Max Pro Black /w Skull; they just fit the theme. picked up 2 packs (50ea.) about a week ago for $4.00 total. I wish I could find sleeves with the old Hypnotic Specter on them...but thats a daydream for another thousand years from now. __________________

I found the bacon sleeves to be pretty bad. I started sleeving my deck and they already were starting to take a beating.Dragon Shields are my prefered sleeves of choice, but they're expensive.

I like these too. They are very durable, have nice corners to merge shuffle with, and after about a year or so are just showing a little bit of dirtiness. I love how clean white bordered and black bordered cards look in them and around here they are only 2.50$ for a 50 pack.

What's the difference? Awhile ago I bought a ton of different colored Ultra Pro sleeves off ebay and the black ones were terrible. They'd get marked on the back if you barely touched it with your fingernail. The red ones were transparent as well. The only ones I still use are the blue and green.
