Innovation. Exclusivity. One-of-One.
What Makes MetaLab Different
Dragonskin Fabric — A premium, experimental surface with a unique feel and durability, available only through MetaLab.
1-of-1 Exclusives — Singular creations, never to be reproduced. Each one includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is permanently logged in the MetaMats archive.
Why Collect MetaLab
Owning a MetaLab release means holding something no one else ever will. Unlike our Prestige mats, which launch in small runs before moving to the Vault, MetaLab pieces are experiments in scarcity itself — innovative materials, bold aesthetics, and limited releases designed for true collectors.
Innovation. Exclusivity. One-of-One.
Where experimentation meets artistry.
MetaLab is the experimental division of MetaMats — a space dedicated to pushing materials, designs, and concepts beyond the limits of our Prestige Collection. Here, every piece is rare, every release is experimental, and some are truly one-of-one exclusives.

Feel & Texture
Smooth, satin-like surface that makes cards flow easily across the mat while emphasizing fine detail. Artwork appears richer, with sharper contrast and enhanced brightness.
Durability
Backed with non-slip cloth, Zenith mats stay in place during intense play. They are foldable, lightweight, and designed for both play and display.

RGM Fabric
RGM (Reinforced Gaming Material) — Tournament-Grade Durability
Overview
RGM, or Reinforced Gaming Material, is MetaMats’ tournament-grade cloth, built to withstand heavy use without losing integrity. This is the fabric of choice for competitive players and long-running events, where consistency and durability are paramount.
Feel & Texture
RGM offers a denser, more structured surface compared to Prestige. Cards glide smoothly but stay anchored in place thanks to the slightly firmer weave. Its texture gives it a professional, high-performance feel.
Durability
With a reinforced non-slip rubber backing, RGM mats are made to last through thousands of games. Resistant to warping, creasing, and fraying, they’re ideal for duelists who need a battlefield that endures.
Exclusivity
- Primarily reserved for tournament kits and special MetaMats collaborations.
- Recognized as one of the most rugged fabrics in the MetaMats lineup.
Best For
Tournament organizers, competitive duelists, and players who demand maximum durability for daily use.
Care & Maintenance
- Spot clean recommended.
- Machine washable on gentle cycle; air dry flat.
- Best stored rolled to maintain structure.
DragonSkin
Dragonskin Fabric — MetaLab Exclusive
Overview
Dragonskin is MetaMats’ most experimental and premium material, available exclusively through our MetaLab division. Designed for collectors and innovators, Dragonskin blends durability, texture, and aesthetic presence in a way no standard cloth can match.
Feel & Texture
Unlike traditional smooth cloths, Dragonskin features a unique textured surface that combines grip and glide. Cards move with control, dice settle cleanly, and the surface holds an unmistakable presence under light.
Durability
Built for longevity, Dragonskin resists wear more effectively than standard fabrics. It holds color depth over time and its clean-cut edge finish (without stitching) preserves its sleek look.
Exclusivity
- Available only in MetaLab releases.
- Often reserved for 1-of-1 experiments, never to be reproduced.
- Every Dragonskin mat comes with a Certificate of Authenticity when sold as part of the MetaLab series.
Best For
Collectors who want the rarest material in the MetaMats lineup, duelists who crave innovation, and players who value both playability and prestige.
