No longer conflicted
*Update at the bottom*I first purchased the orange sleeves, and they were fantastic. Very clear and defect-free as well as slippery (so cards didn’t catch on one another).Although the orange color is great, I ended up getting a red mat and deck box for my new deck. So I figured let’s get some red sleeves to match. When they arrived I opened the package that appeared to be in perfect, brand-new condition just like the orange sleeves. I immediately noticed they were all curling in at the edges towards the clear side. The clear side also looked a bit less clear than the orange sleeves. I thought perhaps that may be because the red backing is darker than the orange backing. To confirm or deny that thought, I got duplicate holographic cards with one in an orange sleeve and one in a red sleeve. There was a slight difference.The red sleeves were also quite tacky and super tight (probably from a slight width difference from the front and back that caused the curling). I don’t mind snug (I actually prefer it). But I had to be careful on the last 1/5th of sliding the card in the red sleeves not to cause damage because these red sleeves I got are so tight. Lastly, it looked like something swiped the bottom of the red sleeves, marring the clear window. All of the red sleeves were this way, so it must have been during production. It’s hardly noticeable when a card is in the sleeve, but very noticeable otherwise.I must’ve got a bad batch or something with the red sleeves because the orange ones are flawless…*Update* Christina from Titan Shield reached out to me promptly after posting the above review for the red sleeves I received. She was very kind, sincere, and quick to respond in our conversation. She wanted to remedy the dissatisfaction and conflicted feelings I had from the red sleeves and offered me a replacement set of sleeves at no charge. She even asked if I wanted to go with a different color. I first chose yellow, and she followed up with letting me know the yellow sleeves are 90% opaque, and if I wanted a fully opaque option for using in tournaments, that the dark red, brown, and dark blue would be best. I hadn’t even thought about that and asked if I could do dark blue instead. She happily obliged, and two days later the new pack of sleeves came in. I carefully examined them, finding no defects. The dark blue sleeves were defect free just like the orange sleeves from my very first order. My conclusion is that, as I thought, the red sleeves were just a bad batch.Thank you Christina for the wonderful customer service. I will be purchasing more sleeves from Titan Shield in the future.

Good card protecters
There are good card sleeves. Flat on the front and slightly textured on the back for a better grip. Even on a single layer of basic printer paper, it'll provide enough protection for your cards. (Although I'd recommend cardstock.) This size in particular is near-perfect Vladde's PDF of Inscryption cards.

Good budget option
I just got these sleeves so these are just my first impressions, but so far they're pretty decent. They have a good shuffle and a nice color. There were only 3 issues I noticed: one was the card headroom, the see through back, and the how sometimes cards stick out of the deck. the last 2 are self-explanatory, when put in a deck some cards stand out and are uneven with the rest and you kinda see the back of cards in certain areas (I bought bubblegum pink sleeves). The first one is just kind of annoying more than anything. In the picture the left is the TitanShield and the right is Dragon Shield. There is much more room at the top of the Dragon Shields than the TitanShield. Isn't a huge issue but I feel worried some cards might slip out, just me personally. If you want the best of the best, Dragon Shield is what you go for but overall for the value and the amount of sleeves you get, I recommend it!

Rough Around the Edges (Literally)
Bottom Line: They serve a purpose well, just not the one advertised.When play-testing a deck, I like to have all the cards I’m considering and any game staples all sleeved the same so that I can easily switch cards in and out of the main deck without the need to resleeve. The Ultrapros I normally use come in packs of 50 (not enough for even just the main and side deck) and are a bit more expensive, so I was hoping this pack of 150 from TitanShield would solve both of those problems. However, the quality/attention to detail of the Ultrapros are well worth the cost and need to buy multiple packs for the cards you intend to play with.In my pictures I kept the TitanShields on the left and the Ultrapros on the right. Both are fresh out of the packs and have non-foil commons fresh out of a structure deck to make sure all conditions are even.The edges of the TitanShields are noticeably jagged compared to the crisp Ultrapros. The edges of separate sleeves are also not consistent like the Ultras, which wouldn’t concern me at a local weekly event but worries me that a higher competitive level event might consider them not consistent enough to be legal (Titan’s packaging even has a disclaimer for this, something I don’t recall ever seeing on other sleeves).The Titansleeves also add significant height to the cards that are sleeved in them, but it appears that it’s more from how the sleeves fit around the cards than any additional thickness of the material. I tried pushing them down multiple times and even held them in place for a bit to see if I could flatten them out some but it wasn’t happening. The Ultras on the right lay flat right of out the package.I will say that the Titans have a much clearer front side that shows the actual art and text of the card better than the Ultrapros. However, in the package I received there are faint lines that run across the face of the Titans that I’m assuming are scratches from the manufacturing process as they are consistent across the face of every sleeve I’ve looked at.My last issue is something that’s hard to describe and you can’t take a picture of, but anyone who plays card games should understand: They just don’t FEEL good. I sleeved up 5 cards specifically to see what a normal hand size feels like and it’s just off. The cards don’t slide against each other well and the extra width from all the air between the card and sleeve makes me feel like I’m holding a huge hamburger instead of a hand of cards.These are my main issues with the sleeves and why I would never use them for tournament play. That being said, I think they will do great at protecting the cards in my trade binder and the extremely clear front side lends itself well to better showing the condition of the card over the Ultrapros. I will definitely use the Titans for that purpose and order them again when I run out, but I’m forced to be particularly harsh in this review as they are so heavily advertised as tournament-level sleeves and fall far short of that expectation.

Good quality
So easy to shuffle compared to Eclipse or dragon shield. Very glossy on the clear side but seem to play well enough. Remind me of the KMC hyper matte but a lot cheaper. Enough to sleeve 3 basic decks with a few spare.
