I used to like using ultra pro side loading inners with Japanese size (small) kmc hyper mattes... but the hyper mattes are horrible now. When I have to resleeve those decks, I'm going to be sad... these decks barely feel bigger than a single sleeved deck.

You can use any japanese size perfect fit inner, and then use a standard size outer from your brand of choice (I recommend dragon shield just for longevity). The eclipses get marked after a couple of rounds in a tournament.

Deck box wise, I use the Boulder 80 deck boxes and the 80+ sidewinder boxes for cardfight decks. The satin towers are nice, but they take up a bunch of space in your bag if you bring multiple decks around with you, and take up a bunch of space on the table when you play. If I take them out of the house, I use them solely for magic tournaments now (they fit a double sleeved 60 card deck, 15 card sideboard, and up to ten single sleeved tokens).

Hyper Matte Sleeves (400 Pack), Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011MIRTWA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dwhZBbQ2ZN4WJ

I use these. They have a matte back so it will make the back art a bit foggy but shuffling feels great. I have friends that use other brands like dragon shield and ultra pro

A good trial deck to get them would be this deck here. Since i've heard that one has won a tournament without any changes. Also why not get some matching sleeves? Both Yugioh and CFV use the same sleeve size of "Small. which is like 62mm x 89mm.

When I take multiple decks with me I use this case the deck boxes fit nicely in it
I have a friend who uses this case instead of buying multiple deck boxes

If you want the best price in terms of a single deck box, you really can't go wrong with the Satin Tower as it does have the compartment for dice with being durable and locking. If you have 4+ amount of decks, then I do suggest looking into these kinds of cases: https://www.amazon.com/Caseling-Holder-Games-Moveable-Dividers/dp/B00WFJJWM6/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1518975059&sr=1-5&keywords=card+case


Sleeves are another story. If your double sleeving, then you do understand that they will be standard size (so character sleeves and small sleeves won't be used). KMC are currently questionable due to rumored manufacturing changes to their quality, but also you can't tell if they are the newer ones vs older one in stock.
My recommendation is going with Dragon Shield Mattes. Dragon Shields are known to be durable (I have had my sets for about 1-2 years and still strong).

If you are going to carry around a small amount of singles, I would suggest a 4 pocket binder (be able to show off playsets). If you are going to be trading, a 12 pocket card binder would be better.

It's generally better to buy singles over pulling packs.

But if you like Control then I'd look into Kagero or Link joker since they have trial decks.

Kagero likes to kill the opponent's rear guards, and use a Vanguard that restands itself to keep up pressure, while controlling the field to keep the momentum in your favor.

The main archetype there is Overlord that does exactly what I described. They have a legend deck as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3YPKIG/ref=psdc_2522067011_t1_B01ANINK00 The legend deck is fairly strong out of the box and has all the components needed in a complete deck. The main enhancements would be the stride zone and small nuances to optimize the deck.

The other major archetype is Blademaster. he doesn't have any TDs so you'd have to track him down as singles. Blademaster focuses much more on retiring and maintaining more rear guards than your opponent for effects. Blademaster does not restand as that is mostly overlord's gimmick

In either case I would pull G-set 7: Glorious Bravery of Radiant Sword. It has major pieces like Taiten, Denial Griffin, and Defeat Flare if you play overlord. Though overall it'd be better to buy singles either way.

Link Joker focuses on locking your opponent's units. Locking prevents that unit from being used at all, the locked unit loses all power and effects and it can't be interacted with except for unlocking it.

The 2 major archetypes here are Messiah's and Star Vaders.

Messiahs function by locking their own units in addition to locking the opponent's units. Messiahs can also unlock their own units for power gains or extending their attacks since units unlock standing.

Messiah's also have a TD https://www.amazon.com/Cardfight-Fateful-Messiah-ENGLISH-Factory/dp/B00Y5ZXMJC. Unlike the legend deck though this deck isn't as competitive out of the box since it's meant for starting purposes. You'd need to get more copies of your main G3 alter ego messiah, you'd have to radically change the main deck and stride zone to be competitive.

The other major archetype is Star-Vaders especially Chaos. Star-Vaders are less offensive than Messiahs and focus purely on locking down the opponent's field. Your main strategy would be to keep locking your opponent's units and outdraw the opponent to grind them down till they just cant guard anymore. Star Vaders do not have any up to date starter decks, and there aren't any for Chaos which is the main competitive archetype.

I would Invest in G-Set 8 Absolute judgement as it has you Flageolet Messiah and a Reprint of Amnestly messiah which are your 2 main strides for Messiah decks and still usable in Chaos. G Set 5 has Chaos Universe and Excelics messiah. universe can only be used by Chaos, and Excelics needs to unflip Amnesties. Set 5 is harder to find, and both are rare pulls so I would buy those as singles if you want them.

Finally Chaos Breaker Dragon is being reprinted in Revival collection which drops this Friday. So if you want to go the Chaos route, I would wait a few days for Revival collection and just buy the reprint Chaos as singles.

Hope that helped :)

I don't know about Weiss, but this is what I use. I think it's meant to fit a whole Magic deck, and so it fits 66 double sleeved cards with a lot of extra space left. It even has a divider so you can split the main deck with the g-zone and starter.

For oversleeves, I use standard size sleeves. I sleeve my Vanguard cards differently by using a clear Japanese size sleeve and then a Matte standard size sleeve. I have a few decks sleeved in UltraPro Eclipse sleeves and one in BCW Elite Glossy sleeves. The latter has my favorite shuffle feel so far but, the Eclipse sleeves are more durable in my experience.
