Custom Magic: The Gathering decks
Your next deck, built by hand.
Slightly Sleeved is Jamie’s one-person deck-building service. Tell him how you like to play — he’ll build it, sort it, sleeve it and hand it over ready to shuffle.
Three ways to get a deck on the table.
Every build starts with a conversation about how you play. Prices below are starting points — Jamie quotes each deck before any cards change hands.
Built from scratch
No cards? No problem. Give Jamie a format, a budget and a vibe, and he’ll source every card and build the deck around you.
- Every card sourced to your brief
- Sleeved and boxed
- Printed deck guide

Hand over the shoebox. Jamie digs through what you already own, builds the strongest deck it allows and flags the few cards worth adding.

Already have the deck, just not the patience? Jamie sorts, sleeves and boxes it, and writes up a list so it stays that way.

Hello, I’m Jamie.
I grew up in [hometown] and I’m now based in [current town/city]. [One or two lines about where he is and what that’s like.]
I got into Magic [when/how — e.g. at school, through a friend, at a local game store]. [What he loves about it — the deckbuilding, the people, the moment a combo comes together.]
Slightly Sleeved started because [the reason — e.g. friends kept asking him to build their decks]. [What he wants every customer to feel when they open the box.]

If that sounds like your kind of deck, let’s talk.
Send Jamie a line about how you play and what you’d like to build. He replies to every email personally.

Something not covered here? Email Jamie — he’d rather answer a question than lose a deck.
How long does a deck construction take?
[Typical turnaround — e.g. X–Y weeks.] Building from your own collection is usually quickest; sourcing cards for a from-scratch build takes longer. You’ll get a date before any work starts.
How are cards sorted?
[Jamie’s sorting method — e.g. by card type, then mana value, then alphabetically.] Every deck comes with a list in the same order, so it’s easy to put back together after a game.
What if I have no cards?
That’s exactly what Built from scratch is for. Jamie sources every card to your brief and budget, so you don’t need to own a single one to get started.
Does the deck come with instructions?
[What’s included — e.g. a printed guide covering the game plan, key cards and how to pilot it.] If you’re new to the format, just say so and Jamie will pitch it accordingly.
What can I specify for Jamie to include?
Pretty much anything: format, colours, a favourite card or creature type, a theme, how competitive you want it, sleeve colour and budget. [Any limits — e.g. proxies, specific printings, languages.]
