Apologies, but I seem to have omitted that this will hold 20 Cubeamajigs boxes in it. Again, this will hold Cubeamajigs. 20 of them.

[@coachesmagic2886]

Great review prof, this looks pretty sweet… just wondering, how many Cubeamajigs does it hold ?

[@harrowed777]

That is important information to have.

[@hunterstephens3671]

Cubeamajijs > Standard System

[@PlaidMagic]

Shoot, so short of an 8 player cube..guess I’ll stick with the Arkhive. Anything out there to hold a 360 Cube, 500 lands and 300 tokens all double sleeved? Using 3 Arkhives now. Maybe have to do a custom…

[@bradnemire1965]

That's a huge plus without a doubt. I love Cubeamajigs and have started to use them more and more for organizing.

[@madscientist2621]

I know he's saying "Card's Lair" but in my head i'm hearing "card slayer" haha

[@sarpedon702]

Heard the same thing!

[@tsuruchibranwen8579]

I was like "that is some unfortunate name... oh"

[@StariusPrime]

I totally thought it was “card slayer” too!

[@kylerickert2240]

I didn't even realize it wasn't card slayer until I read your comment.

[@yotamshitrit6820]

Card Slayer would be a terrible name for a product literally designed to keep cards safe.

[@josephgreen8051]

I love the honesty when it comes to reviews on this channel. can safely give the professor an a+ when it comes to reliability on trading card products!

[@thesleepinggloom2603]

I bought one last week for my 2 player Pokémon cubes and I'm 100% satisfied. It's such an awesome product. I had to watch to see if you agreed with my A+ grade on it. Great stuff as always, Prof!

[@brucegonzalez9928]

I am curious about this 2 player Pokémon cube

[@thesleepinggloom2603]

@@brucegonzalez9928 tried to reply with a link to my Twitter with a picture of the list, but looks like it got deleted.. but the basics of a two player cube is 80 cards using Solomon draft rules.

[@starmanda88]

@@thesleepinggloom2603 I LOVE this idea! I’m gonna give this a shot

[@thesleepinggloom2603]

@@starmanda88 It's a ton of fun! I have two different 2-player cubes built for Pokémon. They have become my favorite way to play the game these days. I have a video of my regular 360 card cube on my channel, but my 2 player lists are on my Twitter if you want the list!

[@ytsejam58]

Pokemon cubes are a thing? Awesome

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

Never thought I'd be excited for a deckbox

[@malmasterson3890]

I was definitely looking forward to this one once I saw it previewed on the website. First time being hyped for a deck box release lol.

[@alexschomer6232]

Gamegenics are on fire. I love everything they put out. Found them because of your reviews. Great work.

[@stevewohlwend1010]

I bought a Dungeon and five Sidekicks - very happy with my purchase. I've had a mess of different boxes I've acquired over the years and this really cleaned up my collection.

[@andrewmrozek5778]

I don’t even play MTG anymore but somehow I always find myself watching the TCC product reviews and commentary. I think in a lot of ways the Prof. represents the best of the board game/ MTG community.

[@AZDeathMetal]

Professor’s accessory reviews are probably some of the most relaxing videos I watch. For some reason, I just love these videos the most.

[@ShinPG]

I noticed that the academic took most of its design inspiration from the cards lair. I never got a cards lair because it didn’t fit what I needed (either wanted large storage with a giant compartment or small storage with features), but the academic works better as an all-in-one for taking to the LGS.

[@AtriumXP666]

I love the new design - just wish they made an alternate, slightly wider version that can hold deck boxes. Charge us +$5 or whatever but offer us that choice

[@colterbuchanan7778]

Professor, when you give the grade, you call the product “the Archive” illusion of perfection shattered..

[@kurtilein3]

These marketing people spelled it Arkhive or something silly. My favorite dealer keeps his highend cards in one of these, because most of these are in toploaders. So they have their place for sure, because they can fit deck boxes and toploaders.

[@JohnFiala]

I love these reviews. I'm never going to buy or use many of these card accessories, but it's really satisfying watching you putting these things through their paces while you comment on their plusses and minuses.

[@unapersonasinimaginacion4660]

Isnt this the larger version of "the academic"

[@evilontoast7266]

The wall isn't movable so you can't fit deckboxes in it. But this is the standard design of gamegenic

[@sarpedon702]

As always! Awesome review. I took a look at these as soon as we got them in stock. I’ve been really happy with all the Gamegenic products.

[@joelhockin281]

"Luv the Nub" - Prof 2021

[@chevysupreme]

obligatory that's what she said.

[@porphyrylives5324]

This looks amazing. Thank you for the in-depth and well thought out reviews

[@benji-menji]

Based on the thumbnail, this is pretty much a 400 card Academic. Defiantly nice if you wanted an academic like box now, but it holds too big of quantity for my taste. Edit: It also seems to have less quality of life features and lacks the ability to put in smaller deck boxes based upon the fact it doesn't use a removable divider.

[@JustACapybara1]

This deck box is super nice for sure, though I'll have a hard time using anything outside of that Stanley toolbox. Good content as always prof!

[@LeKrutes]

Same. I have 4 of them

[@shawnrosenblum9336]

Just got one the other day

[@GeekandGlory]

That Stanley Toolbox is the best honestly and I also have one for my at home deck storage but I may get this deck box for when I travel.

[@meathookmassacre2438]

I'm thinking of buying a third one for all my commander decks. I have a problem 😅

[@Mark.Twain007]

I love mine, but it is kind of large, so I also have a quiver for when I want to be slightly more mobile, but still bring several decks. I discovered the toolbox thanks to prof.

[@khaunleper]

I really enjoy your reviews. Especially the fact that you don't just go "ohh, this new thing is the best for everything," but that you take into account different players have different needs.

[@darknesszero7589]

Really been enjoying your Videos and you have helped me find things i can use.. Just got to get them now but anyway you and Command Zone have been helping me get more into Magic The Gathering even gotten bought my first Command deck with happens to be the Undead Unleashed and not going to lie didn't see the videos on the deck till after i have gotten it but anyway thanks to you and Command Zone you help me get more into magic it been really fun playing it and my brother is happy im getting more into it so thank you for your videos can't wait to see more 😁

Thank you so much for this review! I was definitely interested in this product, but wanted to hear what you had to say first!

[@MTGJosh]

Ooh! Cool review, now I wanna get one! Thanks for sacrificing your time and money to do these reviews!

[@archivecrab]

Great review! Appreciate the work that goes into your videos, especially review videos, due to the fact that I’ve definitely avoided wasting money on products that you’ve shown won’t hold up as well. Also, love the jacket! Every video I watch makes me want to rebuild my wardrobe with some more style lol

[@Danielsworlds]

My reaction when you pulled down the flap and showed the smaller trays was a very honest holy shit! This thing is amazing to hold all the random decks and accessories you need for going to a convention or big pre release event

[@BigScienceDP]

I like my archive (I use it for my sleeved, non-boxed 4 different themed Atraxa decks). I will love this product. Thanks Prof!

[@davidkeychain3014]

I built my first cube the week the professor made his first cube design video. I threw together my collection and spent a whole $40 rounding out the colors. This last week I upgraded my cube again and it officially became the most expensive thing I own. It is my BABY! Protection is everything for my cube and thanks to the professor I found the dexx protection game chest. It is my favorite tcg product I've ever owned and makes me feel confident protecting my most valuable asset

[@AlexanderSzymanski]

This was a fantastic review of a product I've been waiting to hear about. Thanks Prof for the excellent content.

[@jess_o]

Recently picked up the 2x100 card deck box from them after your glowing review, and I love it. Looking forward to grabbing one of these for my bulk of older cards soon!

[@josersreviews137]

thank you so much for the review. I'm going to order some of these right away.

[@Senjutsuka]

Nice! Been looking for something like this. Im traveling a lot w/ my decks and always end up bringing a lot of things 'just in case' which I find uses for. Thanks!

[@Silverpicker]

I think that's awesome! I just wish someone would come out with a similar product that can hold a large cube. I have a 720 card vintage cube (like 900 double sleeved cards total with lands and tokens). I keep mine in an old Innistrad Gift Box, which is the perfect size and shape...but it's not great for travel. You think there will ever be a cube-appropriate product in materials and quality like this?

[@davewrong5975]

Check out the Arkhive 800+. I used to carry my Cube around in two of the Arkhive 400, but now everything fits in one box.

Had my LGS order one after watching this video, and it is perfect for the 2-4 player cube my wife and I draft. Fits the 180 cards plus 100 basics plus all of our tokens sleeved, the dice, and blank infinitokens we use.

[@ChristopherTomaszewski]

Thanks prof! Love these videos. Please review the Lair 600+ next. Looking at getting one of those to hold most of my commander and modern staples for easy access.

[@JayJustVibin]

I recently picked this one up and I have to say, it is definitely my go to, I love the aesthetic of just opening the lid and seeing my cards there (just a personal preference)

[@williamhuskey7279]

I want to say thank you to the professor. I've been looking around for a great case to carry around my wife's and my decks, and this seems to be the best option for that.

I'm definitely going to grab one of these, it would be perfect for traveling with the Marvel Champions or Arkham Horror LCGs, since they have a bunch of tokens you have to carry with them and that's always been a bit of a pain or required a second case just for the tokens.

While I don’t really invest in accessories, I can listen to the professor talk about card game boxes ALL DAY. Earlier this week I happened to find myself listening to a card sleeve review from 2 or so years ago and was really entertained by the content. It’s just so good. If I had to pick, I’m really digging this “card slayer” thanks!

Gamegenic is back with another awesome product! Personally I have fallen in love with their deck box that I use to hold 2 commander decks, and it has a nice dice tray that holds a bunch of dice! Honestly super impressed with them overall!

[@piralos1329]

I picked up the gamegenic dungeon after your review of it, and honestly it's been like a dream! It carries everything I need incredibly easily, fits into places smoothly, and is just generally an absolute delight to use and transport! I was really excited to hear about a new gamegenic product, and whilst this one isn't quite for me, as I prefer to transport stuff in deckboxes, I'm delighted to that GameGenic are continuing to produce incredibly high quality products, and keeping with the magnets! I'm excited to see what else they bring out in the future, and to see your future reviews of them!
