MTG Best Deck Boxes 21 - Ultra Pro "PRO-100", Card Guardian, Dex Protection Supreme One, Leifkicker

[@Phil_Hill]

These really are the best cardboard and cardboard accessories reviews on the Internet. Thanks professor!

[@AlphaWhale]

The Hank Hill of MTG.

[@ne0komodo]

I binge watching his video eventhough I don't even play MTG lol.

[@TheWaffleGerbil]

MrGrimm Who did you start playing with?

[@spazinz2109]

me too lol

[@LordoftheTrash]

Hey, Prof. I've been subbed to your channel for probably about 6 months now, and I love your content. I have been playing MTG for a little over a year now, and discovering your videos has exponentially increaded my knowledge of the game, the lore and the products. I figured I'd say thanks for helping me get a head start, and entertaining me for countless hours.

[@michaelbolin7650]

so glad we didn't lose the professor, keep up the excellent work and and have fun doing it prof.

[@spydoorman7583]

The Professor is so articulate that I find myself binge watching his vids and even renewing my high school passion for MTG.

[@Matt-vo1bo]

Nothing beats having the new card smell inside your deckbox

[@quentinchristensen3793]

Matt2045 I love the smell of new cards in the morning.

[@johnparkin7872]

I actually was browsing for deck boxes, and of course, the Professor saves the day! Thank you!

[@keithwu5825]

I still cannot afford it, but when I first saw the Giger box I thought, "Man that's a nice box! It's got to cost at least $300". Its $150 price tag amazes me, and that told me that Leifkicker is not a greedy company. They could've easily made it $500 and still interest many (not sponsored).

[@josephhansen4072]

it's H. R. Giger, professor!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Uhhh...yeah. Deliberate. Like all my mistakes.

[@Sn00gans]

It's also pronnounced GEE-ger, not GUY-ger. Just a little thing.

[@theawesomeleprechaun]

I assumed the box measured radiation.

[@Brawler_1337]

To be fair, though, GEE-ger vs. GUY-ger is a pretty common error.

[@JonnDuune]

They're not mistakes... They're tricks profs use to see how many people are actually paying attention in class... I've gone to university.. I'm on to you -.-

[@thorstonk6348]

The Geiger box feels more phyrexian, what with the flesh/tech combination.

[@tylerbarker4612]

I was thinking more Eldrazi

[@kappaross6124]

thorston k Phyrexian invasion of Kaladesh CONFIRMED

[@kaxn]

H.R Giger is The Dude who designed the aliens from Alien originally... so the design suits the name very well. It looks very much like parts of the "cavepaintings" they find on the ship(s) in that franchise.

[@ForeverLaxx]

The box isn't, dare I say it, "sexual" enough to be a Giger Box in my mind. Maybe that's a design choice. Probably is, but I wouldn't call it a Giger Box when you remove one of the primary concepts behind the art. Also, his art tends to be monochromatic, which that box definitely isn't.

[@seigwardofcatarina5776]

Thought of Izzet from Ravinica

[@CJWproductions]

The Leifkicker managed to avoid criticism. No mention of the security of the lid? Would you trust it to drop off your shelf? No mention of the seemingly frustrating interior? You'll have to dump the cards out, and it looks pretty tight in there. I like that you're still doing these. Products just keep coming out!

[@curbynet]

The benefit of the Arkhive is that for a tightly-packed card library, you can individually remove specific decks via the generous finger "scallops," similar to 4:55 in this video. The Dex Protection supreme one row doesn't allow for easy access to cards when the box is stuffed to the gills. On the other hand, the problem with the Arkhive FOR ME is that it is sized for boxes and not for cards. I'd want to put decks (just sleeved cards with dividers) in the Arkhive, and that ends up with wasted space as the box was originally intended to hold deck boxes.

[@averyspillane9721]

Digging the Ugin pin Prof

[@HipsterianArchive]

I enjoy the product review/comparison videos the most.

[@dongbird2196]

Love your work! hope the Patreon and Sponsership have worked out well! CardKingdom is my go to for quick adds before game nights and im glad to see i can support you aswell now with my orders!

[@thiagomendonca8069]

Awesome video Professor! Looking foward for the next one!

[@Isheian]

That leifkicker box would house my modern izzet deck nicely.

[@justatinyhalfling]

Excellent review as always Professor, and for the irritated / unsure people commenting in the comments: As the name "Geiger" originates from the German word for "violinist" , I can assure you (speaking German as my first language) that the Professor's pronunciation of the name was perfectly correct. ;)

[@Kinson007]

There are other deck boxes out there, that aren't the main stream brands. For example, Wyrmwood Gaming makes deck boxes, and their Sentinel box is a deck box + dice storage. These are solid wood deck boxes with a strap and snap closer, to make it very secure. But, because they are solid wood, and has to be made one at a time, the price reflects that, with the starting price of $50 and going up to over $300, depending on the type of wood used (some are rarer woods, thus more expensive, and different colors) and whether you want the regular deck box or the Sentinel deck box. $50 for a single deck box is a bit much, but offers a lot in deck protection and with a snap closure, it won't easily open up and spill your cards all over. I personally use the Pro-Deck Box by Ultra Pro. It's cheap and effective, the lid on it secures my cards easily enough, and not a hassle, and is fairly cheap. I do recognize the utility and craftsmanship put into the Deck Boxes by Wyrmwood, hence this shout out to them. Wyrmwood Gaming also makes products for another Wizards of the Coast game, called Dungeons and Dragons. As long as you feel good with your deck box, that is all that matters.

[@ansoneckel2552]

Once again Prof, thank you so much for the reviews on this stuff, it really helps out when looking to get different magic related stuff.

[@AnthonyLurty]

I love the unbiased reviews of TCG accessories.

[@colbybastian17]

One use for the Supreme One Row that I can see is what I like to call the "modern lineup". Many of my friends have the entire library of their modern cards in the same sleeves and in one box and simply assemble an individual deck from them depending on what they want to play. I feel like this or the Archive would be a good resource to store that, along with a cube.

[@wowlumi]

I'm sorry, I wouldn't normally feel the need to point this out, but..... H. ??L.?? Giger? H.R. Giger, Prof.... H.R....

[@BEELZEBRO666]

wowlumi came here to say this, also barely see the resemblance!

[@quentinchristensen3793]

wowlumi The colours are a little too bright but in shades of grey and black this would look a lot like Giger's art.

[@lopezthedestroyer]

wowlumi I was browsing the comments looking for someone to say this specific thing

[@Eyckzim]

also needed to check if anybody else caught this! also, it's "gee-ger", not "gai-ger" H.R. Giger

[@Addrum]

I was also triggered by the H. L. Geiger. Jeez. And those colors. Black and Silver would look perfect. And dicks. The box need more dicks. And boobs. Dicks.

[@Wegversperringsman]

I would like to mention that the awkward deckboxes from ultra pro (the normal sized ones, don't know about the 100+) will not open when shaking it upside down, where the ultimate guard one will spill your cards all over the place. So yeah you have to work a little harder to get your cards out, but they won't spill as easily.

[@3gnomes1bigcoat39]

I wish I could find a video like this for protection for my comic books.

[@MrKeroro623]

I found a use for ultra pro design. it did a good job keeping a toddler out my cards

[@jarrod6331]

Some of the large boxes to hold a lot of cards like the Supereme One are really good for certain board/card games like Dominion, etc. as a means to combine sets of cards into one easy-to-transport box.

[@thefirsted]

I've finally figured out who you look like. It's a mix of Dave Coulier, and Jeff Daniels! Sweet!

[@academyruins1278]

This is fantastic, well done. im definitely subbed now.

[@cowoljarwoff]

Prof giving Simpsons quotes. I've never loved him as much as I do right now.

[@Dethmoose24]

Awesome reviews as always Professor! But I want to say, I have a few criticisms about including premium custom deckboxes from Leifkicker and Wyrmwood in the same video as mass produced products. I understand the want to promote artistry in the MtG community, and I'm not saying they don't have a place on the channel, but maybe in their own video? It doesn't fit into a video review of mass produced items, because they quite honestly can't be compared fairly, as you say in the last minute of the review on it. It's a luxury item for players who want to really spend a lot of money to give their prized deck a unique flair. I believe separating the value reviews from the luxury reviews is a good idea. Simply because they're not comparable to eachother. I still love watching these reviews! They're the best quality reviews of these items on youtube! Keep it up.

[@ImitableChaor]

A big fan of your work Prof, but both as a Swiss and an art & design enthusiast, I have to point out that it's H.R. Giger (Hans Ruedi Giger) and Giger rhymes with eager.

[@fadeintoflame6171]

Keep up the good work Professor!

[@HElHACHl]

that costum made deck-box, i should look into that for my Sliver commander. i mean, come now. the Hive is supposed to be in a box fitting for it's stature

[@robbieshackelford429]

I like the Supreme One Row. I could fit five of my commander decks in their with some dividers.

[@voweless]

"Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong." Professor, meet Principal Skinner.

[@Meet_The_Pyro]

Thank you for all your great vids

[@TheMetal966]

Hi professor! I Love your deck box and other tcg accessorie evaluations. But I find one thing lacking. Many of us like to keep our commanders in a hard plastic top loader. Me and I believe many others would love to see if you can fit a hard plastic top loader as well as your deck in these deck boxes. Thank you so much for all your content, your channel is a truly amazing mtg resource.

[@xChickenMedia]

That last one is awesome

[@GuardDogEvents]

I love it every time i see a leafkicker box

[@Trogdor_Strongbraid]

Like when I open my bag :)

[@GuardDogEvents]

jelly

[@tizlittsalexander5063]

No the Supreme One great. I love being able to fit multiple decks in one box.

[@berkanna8066]

I'm a Huge fan of H.R. Giger and of course The Professor :) I just feel like that box doesn't really look like H.R. Giger's biomechanical art style. I know its "inspired by" but if that artist does more I would love to see more boxes that might be a little closer to Giger. I'm probably going to buy that box anyway though lol.

[@bessiegotingco1364]

Hey man I don't play magic but I love your videos. Wish yugitubers made videos like yours. Keep it up

[@daracaex]

Another negative to Ultra Pro boxes: the art will fade over time. One of mine from a few years ago is completely white in places.

[@adamleblanc5294]

I believe he mentioned that as well.

[@AVAL2775]

this a still a bad comparison

[@Trogdor_Strongbraid]

Their cheap stuff is trash. Some higher priced products are okay, just double check reviews before purchasing.

[@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011]

The Satin Tower is still one of the better boxes on the market though.

[@tr0w3]

I would appreciate it if you talked about how many perfect hard double sleeved cards will fit in a box. Thanks

[@angelthemute1670]

Was that a Rashmi commander deck? Oh man, please do a deck tech prof! I bought a Rashmi with the intention of getting into commander but I have no idea where to start, a deck tech would be awesome!

[@jtcraig09]

Sweet video, Prof!

[@HavocTheWendigo]

The Giger deck box reminds me of phyrexia something like that might be nice for the atraxia infect edh I'm trying to build :)

[@RedWolfRun]

The Geiger Box is beautiful! The price is understandable given the artistry and quality. Definitely a birthday or Christmas present for that special MTG man in my life! Does Leifkicker take design ideas from customers?

[@RedWolfRun]

Just looked on his website and states up front that he does not currently take custom orders.

[@michaelchumakovkiy6731]

i hope you are doing well! I wish you the best

[@sethchapman1425]

love your reviews.

[@wierdo884]

hey prof, have you thought about doing lore videos that explains in short what is going on in the current story line

[@brodiemorgan7724]

Hey prof, completely unrelated but when are you going to upload another one of your short stories? I really enjoyed your presentation

[@ItsDKoda]

I really want a large deck case like the Archive and Supreme One to take ALL my decks with me in just one simple case. The only thing that stops me is the magnets not being strong enough. I'll be keeping that deck box in a backpack and general walking will mean shaking. It's a shame.

[@duncankoepke7499]

Nice job prof.

[@DiscomasterZero]

... H.L. Giger? .....H ARRRRR GIGER!! Great video as always, in any case.

[@Vandalizer1231]

Does anyone else think the geiger box has elements from Metroid? I see the teeth on the bottom and the fleshy red as a metroid but with the fire coils also from the Mother Brain areas. Very cool.

[@chrash7670]

It's actually H.R. Giger, not "H.L. Geiger", it's a real shame he passed away a few years ago, always loved his work.

[@h3rteby]

You need to put up a Google Docs spreadsheet or something with all the products you've reviewed! Or maybe do a recap video of all the grade A reviews.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

I have! Go to www.TolarianCommunityCollege.com and click on "Grade Roster" for every product and grade! :)

[@jonathancollins8433]

I have always dreamed of getting a liefkicker deck box.... I just need to create an edh deck that is worthy of one first.

[@Trogdor_Strongbraid]

Skull works for any B or B/x commander IMO

[@zealcrux]

That allusion, though.

[@nartin9]

I do I agree that the old lid for ultra pro is more convenient but I don't have a problem with the new one. the new one make it harder to spill your cards.

[@derrekingledue3138]

Can you review the Elderwood Academy "Spell book" deck box? I have yet to find someone with this variety, it is more commonly sold for their RPG side. It does have an odd feature, a metal 'reflecting pool' on the lid which serves as a whiteboard. This is my first luxury deck box and I'd love one in the shape of a spellbook, but function is a priority.

[@ChickFritts]

Dex Protection is just amazing. I am tempted to replace all my BCW boxes with the new box, but I'd rather not go into debt. Maybe one day.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Lol I feel like Saskia is yelling at Ultra Pro:)

[@djordjeneskovic5857]

Can you do a deck-tech for the deck in the last box, i gess it is an EDH Rashmi deck? Pleas:)

[@shenaniganez]

your awesome as soon as I get money I'm gonna donate to your Patreon.

[@LawryBoyer]

Hey prof, have you seen MTG Amino? Its really a great up and coming community you and others I'm sure would benefit from - maybe a video review is needed?

[@jool5523]

1:15 Oh wow is that a Zurgo Bellstriker EDH deck I see there?

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

oh yes!

[@MrOrthoclase]

Solid Simpsons joke there, Principal Professor!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

It's the children who are out of touch.

[@rodrigotovillamartinez1959]

Hey, professor was that a Rashmi EDH deck?! :o Sure that's a deck everyone would love to see in a Deck Tech video... Just saying :p

[@luddy2009]

Professor, I double sleeved my newest commander deck with Dragon Shield Mattes and the KMC Perfect Hard inner sleeves. Yes, the deck is huge even with the air taken out. Can you recommend the best option for a deck box for this overly large deck? It will not fit in an Ultimate Guard Monolith 100+ or Twin Flip'n Tray 200+.

[@iazire]

Could you show how deck boxes fit in Pirate Lab cases, or any other cases you might recommend. How each box fits in my carrying case is an important factor when I'm looking to buy deck boxes past what Pirate Lab offers themselves.

[@toysoldierfrost]

Hey professor, love your videos. I was wondering if you could recommend a deck box close to the ultimate guard flip'n'tray that has a cleaner face that has less branding in it? I'd love this box if it wasn't so wordy on the outside.

[@ChillyJack]

The Geiger box looks more like it came from Phyrexia than Kaladesh... Metal and flesh bonded together in unholy unison.

[@gahbunk]

I like the design and visuals of the Giger Box, except the colours part. Less colours would be more H.R. Giger like

[@gahbunk]

Well that, and more flesh lol

[@manweoettam]

Adoro i Suoi video! :-)

[@williamhager7543]

prof, I have a small cube and do want one!

[@ThuggyBear13]

Hey Professor, do you know of any deck boxes that hold around 75-100 and have storage for dice? I know of the Ultra Pro branded boxes, but I would like something a little more sturdy. It would also be convenient to have the cards and dice being side by side, not on top of each other. If you know of anything similar to this, I would love to know. Keep up the great work : )

[@v4ngeloz]

Can we get a review of the new version of the Dragon Shield matte sleeves?

[@gravibreaker99]

You remind me of Arkada from Glass Reflection.

[@Ms666slayer]

Well I have 8 Yugioh decks so that Dec Protection thing will really be good for me.

[@tante8074]

And please review the ultra pro oversized Deck box

[@djskype020202]

unless you have one already, have you thought of doing some "TCC merch" of a deck box? where you take all your knowledge on testing deck boxes and make the perfect one?

[@kabelguy70]

But then someone smarter than him will try to outdo it, and the cycle begins anew

[@djskype020202]

@@kabelguy70 that's fine. They can do that. That happens to nearly every product out there. Whether he makes something or not, someone will still be there to make a better something. I think he still should make some with a company he loves

[@modernminded5466]

You call that Old Phyrexian, Yowgmoth, Metroid thingy reminiscent of Kaladesh?

[@somethingrandom9133]

Prof, semi random question: have you talked about a a Tasigur EDH deck? I noticed you testing these boxes with a deck featuring Tasigur at the front, and was wondering if that's a deck you'd like to share?

[@kellysmith4182]

Where did you get your Ugin pin? I absolutely adore it!!

[@frozenmeepleboardgaming5066]

Can we get a review of Ultimate Guard Sleeves?

[@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011]

Hmm... If I may, Professor, since I feel like I need a professionals opinion on here: How would you pitch magic to a Hearthstone player? With them basically of an "I've seen it all, it's just HS except analogue" attitude?

[@austinwoodward8829]

can you do the command tower from ultra pro next? it comes with 100 sleeves and I'm interested to see if it's worth

[@prawnbrain6455]

For my double sleeved vanguard deck I use a plastic deck box

[@jacobhholt]

I would like a deck box that will not just simply store but transform with the cards still inside. I feel like the traditional box loses it's usefulness when the cards are immediately taken out, it remains an empty box with no other function. why not have the box split in half to house the literal library of the cards and the other house the graveyard. If designed well enough it will streamline active behaviors like picking up decks, drawing cards and toppling prevention. Would that be useful?

[@tante8074]

My store still sells the old ultra pro

[@brianjinkeeligh6689]

Can you review the mtggoldfish products?

[@Ickbard]

if the supreme one had dividers, i would use it for my decks

[@JTakasa]

I'll say it again prof. The new ultra pros need to have be creased prior to use. Then they'll remain open without continued pressure.

[@vinceinman9666]

Hey Professor, where did you get that sweet Ugin pin/brooch?

[@deathpyre42]

So, can you get a geiger box with a built in geiger counter?

[@jeremybds1901]

I HATE the ultra pro flap boxes. Inevitably a card or two gets squeezed in the back
