Finally double sleeved my Jaya deck. I've been holding off on it because I didn't want to deal with the increased size and earlier today a friend spilled coffee at it. I got lucky and nothing was damaged (very slight damage to one edge of Gamble, but it's so minor that it's not apparent from the card face), but I don't really want any damage to that deck.
I doubled sleeved my 894 card cube along with 250+ basics. Then I double sleeved all the extra cards that are in my decks but not my cube. Also double sleeved all the back up commanders in case I wanted to use them. After that I double sleeved extra cards in multiples so I could have multiple decks built (Sol rings, duals, SDT, etc). I have about 1500 cards double sleeved. It was time consuming.
I have used KMC Perfect Fit as the inner sleeve with KMC Hyper Matte for the outer sleeves, but I think a lot of people prefer Dragon Shields as the outer sleeve.

I'm a big fan of KMC Hyper Matte, the perfect fits seem to capture more air in them though and shift in the sleeve a bit. That's why I went with the side loaders this go around.
I love the hyper mattes also, but I actually got a bad pack of them recently so I'm looking at alternatives again. I agree about the air issue, it takes a while to press out most of the air so the deck doesn't easily topple (and they tend to hold a lot of air even after that).

I'm using KMC perfect fits and dragon shields. It's worked for me in the past, but it's going to take a little bit of time to get all of the excess air out and I need to track down a larger box.

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
I believe my inner sleeves are ultra pro perfect fits though I can't recommend them since I got some bad packages where some sleeves didn't fit. For the most part they were fine though.

Yeah taking the air out is such a hassle, that's the reason why don't bother doing it. Maybe if I gently pressed the sleeve with a ruler or something
I really like the new Pucatrade website. Being able to send out package trades is great, I can offload foreign cards easier and it looks nicer. It also keeps track of how many cases I've been involved in. Currently that number is 108. I'm sure I've been marked as a problem trader.
Edit: Mod meetup right now at Wildfire's house. We're playing my cube, and bobthefunny just went infinite with Palinchron, E-Wit, and Rite of Replication, flipping Erayo in the process. He got there from Prophet of Kruphix and Primeval Titan (his Protean Hulk is currently nerfed by Anafenza). So Sheldon, what I'm saying is you guys are doing a good job.
Bolas as the antagonist of the block? Awesome. Two blocks that aren't "Return to X" in a row? Awesome.
Based on what MaRo has said in his podcast (and elsewhere, I'm sure) about how a major component of a set being successful is how it meets player expectations... and the fact that we'd expect an Egyptian plane to have gods...
I'm tentatively excited for the return of/tweaks to devotion/god mechanics. Which created some very powerful Commander cards that I like. So... consider me hyped.

One can only hope that the creature type Mutant comes back again.

With a name like yours, I feel like I have no choice but to believe you here.

Radio silence, so for all intensive purposes you left. Anyway, how have you been? How's life treating you?
