This video literally couldn't have come at a better time - I was looking for a cheap and easy 4 deck storage solution to keep at home for when friends come over to play commander, and the clear plastic battle box you had recommended a few years ago seems to be all but sold out. Simple use case but totally up my alley!

I got an Ultimate Guard Archive for this exact purpose. I only single sleeve so mine fits five decks which is perfect for me, but honestly had I known about this it would have been a hard consideration. Still, I think I would have stuck with the archive for how nice it looks, but I definitely see the Fourtress holding up through the years, and also not feeling bad when it eventually needs replacing.

I bet the center bar in the fourtress is actually pretty important for preventing minor bowing, and thus keeping the plastic latch tightly sealed I just made a deck box out of some boxes that halloween decorations came in. A bit of hot glue in the corners and to double-layer the walls, and then coated in a mix of pva glue and a little water, they come out super strong and of course basically free, if you have the free time to fiddle with something while watching youtube or whatever. The fasteners are the weakest point, but you naturally treat your own work more carefully than things you buy and expect durability, so it comes up less than it otherwise might

Agree this must be the reason. Looks quite solid, as opposed to similar one from Dragon Shield which is made from acrylic and the lid on it likes to crack very easily under quite minor pressure. This looks much more durable.

I got a pair of Prisms for my first two Commander decks on this video's recommendation recently, and gosh am I in love with them. Everything is fantastic, from their durability to even the way they feel to touch. They're well worth the uptick in price from cheaper boxes while not being so expensive that they're going to stymie my building decks from the steadily growing list of Commanders I want to work with. Thanks so much for these videos, Prof-they've been instrumental in me getting back into the swing of things with Magic after not having done much in the paper game for the last ten years or so.

Bought a Dragon Shield double shell and am perfectly happy with it. Recently started attending local EDH events - with all my decks being double sleeved I had trouble finding a budget deckbox which could store a 100 card double sleeved deck PLUS tokens which the double shield is more than capable of. Disagree with the Prof and will be buying a few more, but opinions are opinions and I can't fault his critique.

I'm pretty new to MTG and my first deck box was a Dragon double. I've never had an issue but I don't use it everyday either. I recently purchased a Satin Tower for about 13.99 because it was the cheapest box with a dice compartment to hold my deck. I was going to purchase a Boulder but opted for the Ultra Pro version of a Boulder (slightly smaller Satin Tower without dice box) because it was 9.99. I also tried to find a Stanley or DeWalt tool box but they were hard to find and 30 to 50 bucks with a lot on ebay. I went to Harbor Freight to buy a very similarly capable tool box for 13.99. I also have one 500 cardboard storage box. I tried to use my old medic jump bag, which has promise, but it would be a better deck box storage with plenty of room for playmats and such. I can't wait to see where I end up next buy when I can spare the change. Thank you Professor for all you do!

To anyone that remembers 3-4 years back - Dragon Shield Inner Sleeves, used to be thin enough to fit a full double-sleeved deck into a Bolder Deckbox. It struck me as a little silly to comment on the new foils being thicker cards, but not comment on the change in the formulation of dragon-shield sleeves impacting the "no longer fits in a Boulder" problem.

@KuroKitten 3 жыл бұрын
I could be wrong, because I don't use the regular Dragon Shield Inners anymore, but I believe it's just the newer Resealable Inners that no longer fit in a Boulder - which makes sense, because each sleeve includes 1 extra layer of plastic per sleeve.

​@@KuroKitten unfortunately no - they changed the formulation form 40 micron to 60 micron a while before that. Even the Professors earlier videos acknowledged that DragonShield's inner sleeves allowed you to double sleeve into a boulder, but just barely. Double checked my messages with Dragon Shield about the issue and this product change occurred Q4 of 2018. [Edit: grammar and correct 40-60 micron]

Great video as always, Professor. I'd like to give you some insight into the Gamegenic Fourtress. Those boxes were being made by a german supplier Blackfire under their own brand. When some time last year Asmodee Group - the parent company of the Gamegenic brand - bought Blackfire they took over their design and released as their own under the Gamegenic brand only changing the logo on the lid. There's nothing wrong with that obviously, but they also increased the price by roughly 50% which isn't that great. They previously cost about 4.35 Euro for the Blackfire 4-compartment box and the rebranded Gamegenic Fourtress costs roughly 6.5 Euro at my local game store.

I just want to say. My favorite version of the boulder is the Clear one. It doesn't have that weird film that peels off like the other boulders, and because it is clear I can make deck toppers to label my decks, with other a blank playing card i write on, or using one of thows artcards they make now as the "face" of the deck. If the prism has a clear version with out that rubber film like the boulders do, i could get alot more excited. I just love clear deck boxes for being able to see what is inside the box quickly.

these BCW prisms look great, I normally use boulders and have the same issue with them being too tight which is why I put commanders in hard sleeves to get extra space in the boulder

I saw the prism while looking for cheap non boulder deckboxes, settling on quiver's btw, and I wanted to try one since I really did love Boulders. The little extra room solidifies a purchase for me as I had a double sleeved KMC inner black and Katana sleeve deck that just barely fit in a boulder.

My go to is typically the Ultimate guard twin flip n’ tray. Pricy but holds my (at the time) standard decks. The dice compartment was very handy for holding counters and the box both inside and outside looked and felt very nice. I’ve experimented with other deck boxes since then, though and there’s a lot of variety out there and plenty of it (like the boxes from this video) do have good value for your cash.

I've stuck with the ultimate guard deck case 100+ in an archive for the space it gives to double sleeved decks. if this really fits double sleeving, that's a game changer for sure.

Yeah, I use those. Room for tokens too! I feel like there is so much choice it’s a bit overwhelming.

Gamegenic Sidekick 100+ XL. The extra space for tokens make them my absolute dream box. I love the boulder for how compact it is, but it'll always lack the space for tokens and sometimes, as shown, won't even fit your entire deck.

I recently switched over to using the Dragon Shield deck boxes. They easily take a newly double sleeved commander deck without any of the air removed, with space for penny sleeved tokens. Also using the Dragon Shield Perfect Fit Sealable. So the decks are a little bit extra thick. I already had two of the Dragon Shield Magic Carpet,the normal and xl versions, and these boxes for really nicely in there, 3 to a row with room to spare. While the teeth did catch for me in the beginning, simply squeezing the inner plastic while closing easily solves this problem, other than just closing the deck boxes a bit slower.

Oddly enough, my favourite is the "Milwaukee heavy duty organizer." 10 removeable cup like sections, durable form. and can click onto other cases. Its a product you've recommended in the past professor, and damn! if one can find one in nearbyhardware store, or depatment store it's a definite get! (my organizer is holding all of my two colored commanders)

I don't actually have a real "go-to" box just because I like variety. This does also turn out to have a fringe benefit of making my many decks easily visually seperable at a glance.

Prism looks like solid purchase. I do hope BCW makes a carrier for them. Thanks for the review! My group went crazy for the cards lair after your review. You should get some kickback.

The DEX Protection Dualist deck box has enough space for a wide double deck box inside when you remove the dividers. My Pokemon world championship deck box looks exactly as it did in 2016 because I keep it in a deck box box when travelling.

Great reviews as always. I personally enjoy the Dragon Shield double boxes and have bought a few of them. The price is right, they are fun to look at and use, and they hold 2x 60-card double-sleeved Pokemon decks perfectly. The jagged teeth haven't given me too many issues yet.

I dunno, I really dig the Double Shell boxes after using them quite a bit. There's plenty of extra room for tokens or maybeboard cards you're saving for later. I think the complaint about the toothy design is valid, but a little exagerrated here; they're not especially hazardous to close or move around.

I don't have a need to replace my trusty Boulder and Side Winder (and my gf got me a lovely handmade leather one as well,) but it's nice to see some good new options for when I inevitably work towards having a few pauper and/or pioneer decks.
