Sleeves

 

Card sleeves in Magic: The Gathering Arena are cosmetics used to customize the back sides of players' cards, although there is no need to protect one's cards from damage on digital clients. Once a card sleeve is acquired, you can apply it to as many decks as you like. They have no effect on game play.
