Sleeving only the expensive cards

A partially sleeved deck is a marked deck. Sleeve everything or nothing.

Using scuffed sleeves in a tournament

Visible scuffs on specific sleeves let an opponent identify cards from the back and can cost you the match.

Buying a single pack of sleeves for a full deck

Count the sleeves against 60 before ordering; one small pack rarely covers a legal deck.

Playing the bundled promo without checking legality

Confirm the printed number in the card checker first — some promo printings are for collecting rather than a specific format.
