Hi Prof, thanks for the video. Will you ever do a top 5 worst products you’ve reviewed?
I tried to look for the KMC Card Barrier box but i cant find one thats $14.99. DO you have a link that has this box at this price or what webside i should use to find the item?
For those curious, I did not include the Stanely Toolkit or Amazon Basics backpack because those are ‘Everyday Items’ that can be used for MTG, and this video is meant to look at actual products built for the game. If you’d like to see that review, it can be found here: https://youtu.be/kSm49YvmBbg
I love the Ark Hive, but I use the Super Hive. Holds 5 or 6 Boulders (depending on 80+ or 100+) 2 playmats and a dice compartment. It has the same magnet closure.
Based on your recommendations, I bought the PirateLabs case earlier this year, and I love it.
I actually for quite some time been using the deep compartment stanley toolbox from the video “products not designed for magic that are good for it” and let me tell you, while i have more than 12 commanders, being able to come to my lgs with this thing and have my friends keep lend different commanders of mine for each game is very fun. I have been officialy been annonced as the store’s “commander dealer”
I hope you get Katana sleeves soon. I really want a review so bad lol
I took your advice and spent over $100 on singles for commander at my lgs and I regret not ordering from card kingdom so badly
great vid as always, prof! Have you gotten your hands on Ultimate guard’s new “katana” sleeves by the way? would love to hear your opinion
ahh it was too early before Dragon Shield Magic Carpet…. (fingers crossed)
I use the kmc 1000’s for my 10+ edh decks.
But a professor shouldn’t play favorites right? :p
Hey Prof is it possible to review the backpack that SCG has put out and markets during their live coverage? I’ve always wanted a good backpack that is designed with magic in mind and i would like to know if you think its a good product. Thanks and love these product review vids!
I love the KMC. I have three. One holds my pauper cube, one holds my unstable set cube, and one holds my eight budget ‘gauntlet’ commander decks. I’m considering dropping the commander decks box to 6-7 so it can fit dice and tokens for all of them, which don’t fit with 8 decks in dragon shields (but actually because I want to upgrade a couple of those budget decks).
What about for containing your collection of Commons and uncommons organized by color and name?
I won an arkhive at a charity event a year ago and I’ve beaten that thing hard! Still in great shape (easy way to have multiple decks to go)
Damm you Professor. You are really tempting me to go back playing magic…
I love your videos and I don`t even play anymore…
Lol I’d rather just throw stuff in my backpack and pull it out when I need it
I’m looking for a single carrying case that will hold all 10 of the Guild Kit deckboxes when the last 5 eventually get released for a massive 10-deck battle box. Will the KMC Card Barrier box work for that? I wasn’t sure exactly how all the boxes would fit given that the dividers can’t be moved (and I’m concerned about the size of the deck boxes fitting in the first place).
Buy a combination safe to put your deck in for quick and easy transportation
Just a quick note on Ultimate Guard products. If your double sleeved commander deck is completely foiled or has painted cards, it will not fit in an Ultimate Guard deck box. Foil cards are ever so slightly thicker than normal cards. I creased a foil Burgeoning and a foil Dissension Ghost Quarter trying to fit my all foil, double sleeved commander deck into a flipn tray. Boulders use the same dimensions.
I’ve own almost every box in the ultimate guard line-up and the archive is the most cost effective trustworthy product they offer.
As a new player to MTG, I always look forward to these videos 🙂 thanks prof
awesome
You forgot the best one, old shoe box;)
Who here uses the Stanley toolbox?
fucking love this channel
Thank you “Tolarian Community College” for another great product review video… Grade, A+! :p
Seriously though, thanks for taking the time to make such great content for MTG. This is a new-ish hobby for me & it is quickly taking over my life :p. As more sets are released & my collection grows (I started collecting during Amonkhet) storage & space can quickly become an issue for me. I would love to hear your suggestions & ideas for mass card storage options at home… Maybe even a video, a guided tour of how you sort, organise & store your own personal collection. That would be a great insight. 🙂
Anyhoo, thanks again & have a very merry Christmas! 😀
I gotta admit, as someone who owns half a dozen EDH decks, the Dex Protection Game Chest looks great,
I kinda like the new intro! It looks clean.
I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos. They are a valuable resource for someone who wants a great product but doesn’t have the money to test everything out themselves.
Always confident in your reviews and never regret it
These are all quite nice, but I’m still plenty content using my inexpensive cardboard card boxes for storage and transport. That they’re inexpensive is important because I’ve got a ton of cards (and cubes) that need storage and sorting, but they’re also easy to label, so I know what’s in each box from just glancing at its side. And they don’t open or spill easily. While durability is theoretically limited, I’ve never experienced one of these boxes getting damaged beyond use yet from regular transport, so I see little reason to pay more for a fancy box.
Just so others know: the KMC box is not the same as those cheap Plano Boxes you can find at big retailers. The Plano boxes can not fit sleeved cards in them. I wish I know that before I bought six of them. Buy the KMC one instead.

What happened to the “Report card” on your site? (It doesn’t get updated anymore)
None of these can hold a candle to the Stanely small parts organizer. I use those for my commander decks, and i even have 2 of them.
I was just thinking about rewatching the storage vids yesterday as I need more room. Awesome coincidence this is uploaded a day later! Thanks prof
