Best mental model shift is seeing storing the game as a game itself

I put my cards in front of the divider. I want to see what the divider is and then grab the cards in front of it. It helps me organize my things better that way.

I use the main box for all the aspect cards, using online laminate print out for dividers. Got long cardboard card boxes for villians, heros, and modulars. Divided the heros and villains with Top Loadered stage 3 or hero cards. Love them and works well. Use a amazin card box for travel with couple hero decks and villians pre set for gaming meet ups

I got two BCW (5 rows for heroes ans aspect cards, 4 rows for encounter deck) I sort by Aspect>Type>Cost>Name and all alphabetically too My OCDs couldn’t allow me to mix aspects! Team front over here, I find it more intuitive and easier to pick cards this way!
@neojaw21922 ай бұрын
Team “in front of divider”, I also store cards by aspect, by type and by cost, no alphabetical. My goal is to have everything in 2 bcw boxes, more than that I consider unnecessary (I sacrificed looks for real estate). So far works like a charm for me.

Another excellent video and thanks for showing off those amazing boxes. I'm also team front of divider. I'm able to hold the back of the divider and thumb in front for an easy pull out of the box and know I have everything. I'm running 3 boxes at the moment... aspects in core box separated by aspect > type > cost (not alpha, but did when I had way less cards). Heroes in Mutant Genesis box (and am full now), Villains and mods in Red Skull box (also full now). I'm just over half the content, so expecting more boxes in the future. But the 3 boxes slide nicely into the shelf. I also deck built like Nelson by building a deck, tearing it down after play. I log in CDB if I really like the deck to play again.

Hey Nelson! Thanks for the 2024 update on storage! Your previous storage video is what led me to your channel and I’ve been a fan ever since. I store my cards in front of the divider and I think the Xavier School lid is my favorite.

For my cards, i have all the cards in penny sleeves, and each "set" of cards is in a 'Team Set Bag' The original box still holds all the hero bags i have, plus I have a handful of aspect side bars to make a deck. (pick a hero, pick an aspect, and mix em up) Not the most optimized decks, but works good to just play a game quick with other people that don't care to 'build a deck'. Villain's and scenarios are in my expansion boxes, again in the team bags. All my extra aspect cards are just in standard cardboard card boxes.

I use the champions big expansion boxes to store all of my cards, which are all sleeved. I use dividers to split up heroes, scenarios, encounters and aspect cards (cards in front of the divider too) My main box has a custom insert, and i use that to store all of the generic tokens and dials, the standard/ expert modulars, and any decks that i have currently built. If I'm going to a friends place to play, i chuck the decks and villains I'm taking into that box so im only taking one travel box instead of several. Any hero or scenario specific tokens from BTST are in little plastic jewellery storage boxes In terms of what's in each box:- - RoRS contains heroes, villains and modulars from the Core, Wave 1 and 2 - MTS contains waves 3 and 4, as well as Kang - SM has wave 5, Green Goblin, Hood and Wrecking Crew - MG has wave 6 and 7, as well as Mojo - AoA has wave 8, and currently has loads of spare room GMW and NE are used for all of the basic and aspect cards, and they currently all fit with a bit of spare room Currently this all fits without taking up too much room, but I'm always on the hunt for more effective solutions 😂

Heroes, villains, and tokens are in cassette tape cases/clear plastic boxes. Everything else in in boxes behind dividers. For the aspect cards I group by type going ally - event - upgrade - support - ect; and those are sorted by cost.

Love the side loading binders. You can also get colored pages so I have aspect colored pages. Team front of divider. I used to be behind but I have swapped because the first and last cards are better if the divider is behind. If the divider is in front, you can't read the first divider in a column if that column is full.

Team front of the divider, absolutely. The print on the divider is in front of the divider, so the content should also be. It makes no sense at all to me otherwise. Also, I don't feel quite as strongly about this one, but… for the alphabetization of card storage (and/or for sorting by cost), it's always bottom to top. I finger through cards in the storage from bottom to top, kind of in a climbing motion, so I want this motion to be "ascending" through the order, not descending.

Upgraded last weekend to the Nelson Hybrid Method. Building/breaking decks is much faster. And it created a bunch of space in my cramped Bulk Boxes. ((sorry, Team Covenant. I'll but more next year.))

Great video and very helpful! I like the hybrid approach a lot and am going to try that out. The past few months I have been diving into MC, and up to this point I have been storing all sorted by cost and aspect. This has worked up to now, but my collection has grown too large and sifting through a deck while deck building ain't the best haha. I have also been playing without sleeves up to this point, oops, but now that I am growing increasingly invested in the game I do want to start protecting the cards. Do you have any recommendation? Thanks!

I have every Marvel Champions card released thus far. Sleeved in Dragonshield Matte and Stored in 3 different BCW boxes. One for Villains and Encounters, One For heroes, Once for Player cards. They're all 3/4 full at least. Dividers from Tesseract, Cards in front of divider. For LOTR same but in DayDreamGaming wooden boxes.

Cool video and cool boxes Nelson. It is always nice to see how other people tackle the problem of storage, non-board-games doesn't understand the struggle. When I tell my friends I will be spending Saturday afternoon re-organising my cards collection, they can't understand how time-consuming this activity is :D In my case I have 3 large boxes for Marvel Champions. two of them are solid (mdf wood plus outer layer of protection and magnetic lids) and one of them is a cardboard box like your old one ( non of them fits in a shelf like yours, so I keep them on top of the shelf). Two of them are for all the heroes, villains, encounter sets and cards I have used in a deck (I keep in this box as many card I have used, for example if I have never build a deck with more than 2x Med Team, there will be 2x Med team in the box), the 3rd one is for cards I haven't played yet. The boxes also have a top tray which has space for the rules references from each expansion box and any other paper material you want to store like additional campaign logs. Cards are always going in front of the divider - I find it easier and intuitive this way. I am looking into getting another box, as there aremore cards released, and I am starting to run out os space slowly but surely xD Heroes, villains and encounter sets stay together in order of release, just like I have them on my spreadsheet :D I navigate them by release date and I find it easy for me. I am sure some people have much much more effective ways, but I am not fan of reshuffling the storage every time I get a new hero pack to have them alphabetically. All the other cards are sorted first by aspect, then by type and then each type is sorted alphabetically. This is for both the cards I have used for decks, and the cards I haven't used yet. To reduce clutter in the box with the cards I have used for decks, every now and then (whenever the muse hits me) I go through all the cards and cards I have used once or twice are moved to the box where I store the cards I haven't used. I have never been a fan of binders, but I can see the appeal of having them, it does makes deck-building and coming up with ideas a bit easier. For the tokens, I have a token box by Siquk, originally designed for D&D, but works just fine for MC. I don't have as many tokens as you do, but it has 2 levels with 15 slots each (4x4x3 centimeter), plus space for 4 hero boards and pockets for the dials. The external dimensions of the box are 25x16x16 centimeters. Mkes it convenient to store and carry and stores just about the amount of stuff I have.

I have 2 laptop cases modified with dividers (1 for heroes and 1 for villains, but I need a 3rd). I like them because they have shoulder straps and are easy to carry. I organize the cards by aspect and alphabetically. I love the Boxes you have though, especially the Thanos one. I need something to protect my TC boards. Thanks for the video very enjoyable, as always.

When people put cards behind the dividers it drives me INSANE! I have a buddy who does this. He also places damage counters on ally’s and minions to represent their health (so like if it’s a 5 HP minion he’ll put 5 damage counters on them and remove them as they take damage) it’s quite infuriating. I have a hard time looking at his play area because I get SUPER confused about how much damage a character has actually taken.
@VaultBoy1327 күн бұрын
I track damage with the tokens (well, really dice at this point), but the game is inconsistent in how health is tracked: - Villains and heroes have their life tracked with dials. They start at full, and that number slowly ticks down. - Minions and allies track their life just on the card, instead of their HP being tracked as it's decreased instead we track the damage they've taken. If you use the tokens to track HP for minions and allies, then you get consistency. If you use the tokens to track damage for minions and allies, then you're get efficiency. Minions are often killed with a single attack, taking the time place life point tokens on them is a waste of time. However, if you wanted efficiency and consistency, you could start hero and villain dials at 0, then count up until damage >= HP. But, you'll run into weird situations where Deadpool's ability or other cards that set your health back to X are clunky.
