[@sethmasters2147]

I really want that box to hold at least 75 cards, so I can have a modern battle box. Four different modern text with the sideboard. It would probably be Tron, blue white control, Burn, and Jumd.

I started watching this video because of that in the thumbnail. As soon as he said 60 cards I fast forwarded to the next item. So disappointing.

[@ModelsWorkshop]

BCW is 12 minutes from my house. Support local! :) You should email them. I think if they made it taller so you could stack the decks vertical instead of flat you could fit 4 100+ decks.

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Can you confirm they fit this way?

[@KingBobXVI]

@@tempestandacomputer6951 - He said "if", so no he's not saying you can, but that they should. What I'm wondering though is if that compartment can fit a playmat, it looks a little bit too small unfortunately.

When you reviewed the original Quiver, I went out right away and bought one for my cube. It holds the entire thing double-sleeved and it is incredible. Guys, he's not kidding; the Quiver is an incredible product.

Prof, your calls to help out local LGS' is admirable. I really enjoy seeing you whip around that quiver, some great facial expressions, made me chuckle. The luggage I got awhile ago, and I find it's awkward to carry whereas the satin cubes are about as standard as UTC.

[@victor90895]

You really love this game and everything around it, professor. Thanks for share that love with us.

[@sethmasters2147]

Part 33 😂 Great job for getting this far, who would’ve thought there would be so many products to review.

[@Tazzer88]

The thing that really makes me happy to see on that Quiver Bolt is that the pouch on the top lid now has a zipper on it! I actually wrote constructive criticism of the full size Quiver to the company that It needed exactly that. Maybe they'll revise the design on said product to incorporate that improvement too. Otherwise I wholeheartedly echo The Professor's endorsement of the Quiver cases; they're without a doubt the best card carrying solution I've ever used.

[@QuiverTime]

Hello and thank you for the constructive criticism. We are on it. 🤓

[@onewholeegg]

The BCW was designed with Transformers TCG in mind, which uses 40 card decks and Oversized character cards, but it's awesome to see the Prof reviewing it!

That BCW box is absolutely incredible -- I've been using it to store LOTR LCG scenarios/decks. The compartment at the top wasn't quite big enough to store SW:Destiny dice, which was a huge bummer. This might be my favorite storage on the market. Great for throwing in a backpack, too!

[@OmegaJirachi]

100% sold on that satin tower wow I literally just bought 2 lol

[@Vorcov]

Definitely a great choice. They're my second favourite behind the magnetic deck boxes with the Mana symbols on them. Both store very easily inside solid laptop or tool briefcases which I use to transport decks. I generally take off the bottom part from the tower since there are built-in pouches which can hold dice in the briefcases, which makes more room for more decks.

[@K1ttyCass]

I only started playing in January and it's my favorite product for the price. It does what it needs to do pretty much perfectly for a reasonable cost, and as Prof demonstrated, those things are pretty durable.

[@TheJohtaja]

I like the hand strap on the Bolt. Really let's you pursenalize it to your needs.

[@Triphos]

Thanks for showing off that BCW box. It might not be perfect for Magic, but it'll do great for carrying some Marvel Champions LCG decks around

[@SirDavidPaladin]

YES! Been waiting for a review of the Quiver!!!! Thanks Prof! Might I request to review boxes that can hold 100 double sleeved cards with a little bit of room more. Looking for one that can hold double sleeved 100 and two commanders in mini snaps.

[@daranthered]

Bought the BCW box based on your review. My group still plays Planechase and Archenemy with the Schemes, so I'm really looking forward to having a dedicated container for them, and the price is so reasonable.

It's actually made for the Transformers TCG. Holds 2 decks and the extra large character cards

[@bkweddle7599]

Been using a backpack for years, but after seeing that Quiver Bolt I'm planning on getting one of those. That looks amazing for carrying a few decks and dice/counters. As little time as I get to go out and play paper Magic, this product sounds amazing to throw a few decks into with a few accessories to just take off and not worry about lugging a big bag around. Thanks for the review Prof!

For commander, my wife and I use those Stanley toolbox things. They are fantastic. 12 decks each. Easy winner, still.

[@Dynoboot]

Hello Professor, I just wanted to chip in on the BCW x4 Prime. It was made for the Transformers TCG, which came with regular and extra large cards. I've asked you in the past if you could review the deck box, so I'm happy to see you finally did. Decks in the Transformer TCG have 40 cards usually, so I guess they didn't need to allow for extra room for double sleeved cards. Even if you double sleeve your cards (not really needed for an unpopular game that's been around for just 5 sets), you could fit a 40 card deck in there. The Transformers TCG game is now considered dead, thanks to disapointing sales, a fandom that didn't pick up an awesome game when it was thrown in their laps and the current pandemic. That could mean supply of this deck box might dry up soon as well.

[@TraumaTrae]

After your last review, I replaced all my Ultra Pro Towers with Gamegenic Squires (almost bought the entire stock my local lgs had at the time) and have been super pleased with them

[@TheOneAndOnlyJell_O]

My perfect deck box is and always will be the boulder due to its structural integrity and sleek design. I have one of every color to match my different decks (Clear for Eldrazi, Blue for Jace, etc.) Plus them stacking well on top of and next to each other is just icing.

[@ronaldminch9420]

Its awesome to use a deck box like the 4 divider one or even a long cardboard box to store pauper decks. Its like having a cube or battle deck but better. A great thing to bring to a draft during down times or to treat like a standalone board game.

[@orionpax21]

The BCW Prime was initially designed with the Transformers TCG in mind, they showed them to some of us at the Energon Invitational at PAXU last year. Which is why it has the token space, removable divider (for TF Character Cards), and the smaller slots (TF used 40 card decks, with 10 card sideboards).

[@LArchimage]

So happy to see you smile Prof! Looking forward to the improved bcw box! :)

[@ccggenius]

Most amusing thing about the BCW boxes is the marketing materials. The packaging and images make it clear that the product was designed with the Transformers TCG in mind, when the sides expand they have enough space to fit the oversized character cards in toploaders. The boxes hit shelves just in time for Hasbro to pull the plug on the game.

[@Adamcarson34]

Honestly have 2 bcw cases before you reviewed them. I also have them at least an A-. However I ended up using my cases for a few deck building games and card games. The extra space works perfectly for extra dice, token, health tokens, similar to the tokens from ascension. But for mtg I use it for modern decks

[@isaachernandez282]

These are amazing, my son and I get so giddy whenever we see a new one posted

[@dragonking2927]

Speaking of the perfect deckbox, for me, it does exist. Thanks for introducing us to Aaron Cain a while ago!

[@implozia1360]

I know this is a primarily MTG channel but, hear me out, the BCW deckbox is PERFECTION for Pokemon. I am kinda tired manufacturers that make specifically Pokemon deckboxes that hold up to 100 cards in a single compartiment but... Pokemon doesn't have 100 card decks. Gimmie 120 at the very least so I can fit 2 decks! This is exactly what Ultra Pro is doing and is mind buggling to me. And the majority of time people single sleeve their decks and some even advise against double sleeving because it makes the shuffling more difficult, especially in a tournament setting. The only reason why I felt mentioning this is because 1. This is a product review video rather than specifically MTG (hence why I am here) and 2. You do mention Pokemon in almost all product review videos and do appreciate the mention.

[@JacobMockler]

fantastic as always, just grabbed a quiver bolt - perfect for my standard and modern decks, dice and tokens!

Since you revealed it, I have been moving many of my commander decks into the BCW Deck Vault. To heck with dice. It has a compartment large enough for tokens! That is such a big deal. And the main compartment holds a double sleeved deck.

[@lewisheppner6673]

Jesus I never get over how funny this man makes product reviews.

[@Frostgiantbutsmall]

Points on what I consider to be the ubiquitous, universal and therefore imo BEST deck-box: Should be able to fit, in their respective areas - 1 double-sleeved EDH deck (bonus points for removable divider that can be added for custom fit so box can be used for modern instead if desired) - 20 single-sleeved tokens (again, massive brownie points if this is a separate section) - A dice area (room for 6 spin-down dice, which is enough room for ANYBODY) Should be sturdily constructed, and less than $35 That being said, this Quiver looks perfect! Ordered one to try out 👍

[@lucasfrench1841]

I do a bit of a cheers motion with my satin tower every time the prof mentions the tower. He was the reason I got it, and why I've never bought a single bad deck box.

[@sethmasters2147]

As far as deck boxes go, I have multiple thousand dollar decks. But I would really want to see is a deck box that is as solid as the REP gaming deck boxes made from galvannealed steel, with waterproofing. I want someone to be able to spell a Coke on my deck box and have it be just fine after toweling it off. All of my cards are double sleeved and some decks are even triple sleeved. I am a huge fan of the resealable sleeves from dragon shield. All this to say there also needs to be a good amount of space for something like an almost 4 times sleeved commander deck. Also 10 out of 10 I love the latch on the REP deck box, it is never going to be accidentally opened. I just wish it was waterproof, and had a little bit of an area to store some dice.

[@sethmasters2147]

I also want to add an amendment stating that I actually only want one deck to fit in this item. But maybe space for like 110 triple sleeved cards, because yes I double sleeve my tokens as well.

[@gruul88]
