Seems like prof took some new edits for his vids nice

[@morrius0757]

Have you thought about reaching out to these companies and having your own box design? Maybe you'd create a box that'll actually fit my decks.

[@4of333]

damn dude wtf happened ..... been watching for a bit now. i look forward to deck box reviews. this feels like a bad under budget info mercial too bad i miss the old proff sittin at your desk

[@castorvulpes1336]

Thought I should comment, you mentioned about the Lock Boxes being printed of low quality plastic, but one thing you didn't mention is how the plastic does in hot conditions. According to LegendairyEquipment's Etsy page, the box is printed out of PLA. I don't have anything wrong with items being made out of PLA where appropriate, but for a product that is to serve a practical function, I feel that PLA is not the best choice, especially since PLA has an extremely low glass transition temperature. If you live in the tropics, or if you accidentally leave your deck in your car in the middle of summer, that potentially is enough heat to cause the box to warp. I'm not trying to bash Jonathan's work or anything, I think the design is really cool, but I would consider reaching out and asking if they are able to print in another material. Even if it would mean paying an extra $10 or so to get a box printed in ABS, PETG, or some other material, I really think it'd be worth the extra money.

[@notme222]

"Unlike a Mana Crypt, you can't just print one of these yourself." I like how TCC and Pleasant Kenobi have been on this "Don't make people feel bad about proxies" movement.

[@Thomas-vn6cr]

Funnily enough, one of those deck boxes is something that I can print, and for less than the average commander deck price. EDIT: INCLUDING THE PRINTER AS WELL!

[@blindey]

@@Thomas-vn6cr That's what I was gonna say lol.

[@JonathanQuebSwiss]

@@Thomas-vn6cr exactly! Is the printer is cheap? No a good printer is expensive but for the price of those deck boxes I’m pretty sure the printer making profit now 😂. Same with the laser cuter machine for those wood boxes. How much the wood? Between 4 and 10 $ the square meter depend of the wood.

[@ShredAimlessly92]

One deck box for my EDH deck, one deck box for my proxied CEDH deck, and balance is restored to the galaxy.

[@samk8005]

@@JonathanQuebSwiss Wood is wayyyyy more expensive than that.

[@dontmakemegothere7904]

I like the "Try to be cool, but secretly worry" look that the Professor makes when doing the shake test.

[@andrewpayseur]

I was aghast when you said (in a video I think from last week) that these videos don't do as well as the "clickbait" ones. The product reviews are fantastic and a HUGE part of why I come to your channel! Keep up the good work!

[@j1nchuika]

Prof's DeckBox reviews for starting the week is exactly what I need. This channel is part of the reasons why I love MTG and see it as more than a game, there's also love and appreciation for what's behind it. Thank's prof

[@AZDeathMetal]

Wholesome. I love his channel too. It’s strangely calming.

[@Nolsie]

Never thought id see prof review a bdsm deck box

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

It's called Steampunk and it's classy!

[@ab14967]

In fairness, it can be three different things. It can be the obvious joke with the BDSM joke, a tasteful steampunk deckbox... or, well. I mean, look at all the belts. Just got to get it a wig and you have the next anime protagonist.

[@jtc120880]

Love how you dance around the "Steampunk" boxes - :D

[@DerInselaffe]

Someone's getting fancy with the camera angles! Always loved the look of those Aaron Cain boxes. One day I'll be able to get one, one day.

[@TheDylls]

Finally pulled the trigger myself, last year. It's a work of art

[@georgehumphrey1826]

That Chaos orb was a deck box this whole time!?!?! That's so awesome. I thought it was just a really cool MTG statue.

[@emthreadgold]

Cain made me a giant custom box to keep all of the Planechase and Archenemy cards. It's amazing. I've also purchased 6 Leifkicker deck boxes and wow they are even more impressive in person! Prof is not exaggerating on how great these options are.

[@kevinvodka9808]

I’ve had my Aaron Cain deck box for some 7 years. Looks as good, if not the same as it did 7 years ago. If you have the money you can’t go wrong.

[@Sumean]

100% agree, I've purchased a bunch over the years and my expectations were always met or exceeded, I'm glad the Prof keeps featuring him in his deck boxes videos, he deserves the attention!

[@benjamincarter6095]

Aaron Cain's work is amazing. He made me a custom cube box nearly a decade ago, and I absolutely love it. Truly top of the line craftsmanship.

[@charleshammel8541]

I'd liketo propose that you team up with Kyle Hill to standardize the physical testing you do on deck boxes and such: perhaps engineering a device that delivers exact and consistent forces. Primarily, I foresee it being like a newly married couple assembling furniture together.

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

That science guy on KZbin right? I second this.

[@nichmiller4251]

I third this. It's a brilliant idea. And if IHYD is any indicator, their report should make for a damn fine video.

[@ClosedOpenness]

Nope, I appreciate how prof does his reviews. This doesn’t need to be scientific.

[@charleshammel8541]

@@KnightsofGaming2016 yes, theres an episode of I hate your deck showcasing their dynamic. My headcanon is that Kyle has applied to be a professor in the science department at TCC. Also Cassius Marsh is head of athletics and Jimmy/Josh/Ashlyn at command zone are the theater department. It's kinda like Community, but animated. Every week theres another eldrazi or phyrexian threat.

"I'm looking for a deckbox that says... 'Dad likes leather'." "A deckbox that says leather daddy?" "Oh, is there such a thing?"

[@kellehm1]

Kudos on your subtle yet ribald reference to "no shame in small decks" and "big, thick decks."

[@SaviorRyuugu]

For as much as the Professor's makes fun of his own product review videos I still love to watch him go through products. On more than one occasion I have gone looking for something he scored highly

[@EdBurke37]

Between the Leather/Spanking/BDSM jokes and the Big Thick Decks I think this might be the Professors horniest video. And I am here for it!

[@ZamRosario]

Man, this makes me want to figure out 3D printing, making custom deck boxes seems like such a fun time

[@rogerbishop3042]

Do it! Speaking from experience, once you get what you need and get into a little bit it’s a lot of fun

[@tawesssoabbox]

just make sure you like to sand things.... Because you will be very well acquainted with most forms of sandpaper and polishing compounds. =P

[@hijinkstodeath1722]

Deck box review videos from the Professor are always a delight.

[@joshfireseed673]

The innuendo is so very appreciated

[@TheReforgedgaming]

Thank you for reviewing Aaron's products, I am working with them for making my commander case! Your reviews help so much!

[@EHigg87]

I bought my first Aaron Cain box after seeing Prof’s first review of his work. I’m up to seven now with one more on the way - easily the best quality boxes you can buy.

[@rookpwnd]

Also, please consider domestic woods for luxury deck boxes. A lot of exotic jungle wood varieties are not acquired through sustainable means, and are contributing to jungle deforestation.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Aaron Cain only uses sustainable woods and is quite open about his sourcing.

[@09419]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege that is great to hear.

Import exotics also suck. If you think Mexico is sending you their best Kingwood, or that you can get real Agar at all. You're being scammed.

I used to watch these reviews to help me find a good deck box. Now my decks are all boxed and I'm still watching for the entertainment

[@christopherhickerson5869]

I appreciate the new video style of panning and showing more angles, idk how long you and the team have been doing this but I noticed and enjoyed it. Good job.

[@MuchoBe]

Deckboxes that only hold "a little over" 100 cards are an easy auto-pass for me. I always want to carry some tokens with me. Often also some additional cards that I might swap out for the second or third game of an evening. And sometimes maybe even a life wheel when I feel extra fancy and those things are card-sized for a reason.

[@bryantmoyle1706]

I mean, unless you plan on carrying 30+ sleeved tokens, then "a little over" (being ~5-10 cards really) should be enough

[@metalmaiden]

I went another route and use a cheap 60 card deck box for all my tokens. Granted I also tend to carry all of my decks when I play so it makes sense for my needs

[@MegaJosh217]

No I agree with him. I have 20-30 elf warrior/druid tokens for my elf deck that are all sleeved cuz I'm fancy. The extra room is nice.

[@bryceduyvewaardt8136]

Really detailed and well-explained reviews! It’s amazing to see how far 3D printed boxes have come while wooden boxes still have elegant new innovations available. Keep up the great work!

[@shmirie666]

Thank you prof. As always helping out the mtg community. My ideal deck box would be a wizard staff with a massive clear hollow blue crystal. That way I can walk in to a commander tournament as a true wizard. What about you? Let's see your ideal of a perfect deck box

[@geggito]

Seeing the new (?) camera angles while showing off the deckboxes gave these reviews classy infomercial vibes. I mean it as a compliment, to be clear! There's a sense of sophistication to it that I can't accurately describe. As a dedicated Cube enthusiast, I hope you can uncover more high-quality storage solutions for Cubes in the future! I already appreciated (and sought out) some of your previous recommendations.

[@aaronl8478]

The Leifkicker boxes are so impressive, they're really something else. Thank you for making this video so I could know about them.

[@TheRealTHD]

I can't believe you continue to stir up controversy with these extremely click-driven box reviews for clout. *I'VE* been keeping my deck inside of a normal 9x6 shipping box, which scatters them about every Friday night so I don't have to waste time shuffling. Why would you ever recommend these costly items when a simple UPS store has everything you need (except the actual cards, which will hopefully be remedied)?

[@krisdevos3231]

Because hard work & fine craftsmanship is to be appreciated and supported.

[@BubblewrapHighway]

​@@krisdevos3231 did you miss the joke?

[@Gomolon95]

Really loving the new setup, Professor!

[@Polmax2312]

Leifkicker deckboxes took several months to arrive, but they worth every minute I waited and every cent spent. Bought them for old school decks: Chaos Orb for The Dexk and Skull for MonoBlack. Also you can order custom paint job.

[@howardberry5887]

Going to the LGS in Leavenworth, WA I found a deck box that had your stamp of approval. It was really cool to see something that had mentioned the Tolarian Community College. Thank you for all of your recommendations and videos :)

i purchased an aaron cane deck box a few years ago and it is still completely beautiful, he was also very kind when working with my custom specifications, highly recommended!!

[@vanessaeve925]

Bought a Leifkicker deck box for my husband a few years ago back when he still had them on Etsy. Price and wait was worth every penny. Husband uses it to house his favorite YuGiOh deck. I follow LK's social media. Mad lad made a deck box out of a Furby. I swear he can make any deck box you can think of.

[@TC-rw1kf]

I have a absolutely beautiful deck box I made and sent to a lady friend who is a artist to paint a Sliver Queen in all her glory on the lid. Such great detail. But it holds 5 decks and a mat plus dice etc... wish I could attach a picture here.

[@lonestar_iconoclast]

A dream deck box? I got one word for you: Titanium. With rubber gaskets to seal the box and the dice and token compartments, with enough room for a double sleeved cards. Add some stippling or hatching around the corners to keep a solid grip on the thing. Edit: Knurling is the word I was going for. Like what's seen on Maglite, Surefire, and certain Fenix flashlights. Good knurling makes for a good grip!

[@what15it]

I really enjoy watching these. Also, I don't know how often you hear this, but that is a dapper outfit.

I used to play MTG. Now I am a professional close up magician... these are good keep boxes for my playing cards...

What would be cool is if the Professor went in the exact opposite direction for deck boxes. Improvised deck boxes. I remember when I started I used an old I-pad case as storage, could be fun.

Aaron Cain's wooden deck box is going to be the holder of my Atraxa deck. I've worked so hard to make her and she's my pride and joy.

[@ItsMeJoji]

I definitely need to check out Aaron Cain for my next deck box! if Leifkicker ever makes a Pokemon themed one, Ill have to get one!

[@Jonasansu]

I say this on all your deck box videos, but the best deck box is the Ultra Pro Satin Tower. I have owned my first one for almost a decade now and it has never let me down. It survived a car crash in my trunk years ago. Recently I flew cross country for a Digimon tournament some friends were holding with two of my newer towers. It was in the overhead and the fight was the most turbulent flight I have ever had. They still stayed perfectly sealed and safe. My friend who was traveling with me did not have a tower and was not so lucky. His cards were all over his bag and some were damaged. I love these deck boxes. Only ultra pro product I like.

[@ryanducrow8502]

These are some awesome products! I've always wanted to do a custom Aaron Cain box for my most prized Weatherlight Crew commander deck but always hesitated looking at the prices,but you made a good point that convinced me to get one soon! I've invested a lot of money in the deck and while I've got a satin tower right now, it's worth the price to have something truly wonderful for my most cherished deck! Love your work and your videos, massive props to you and the whole team! 💜

[@kacywatson6314]

My deck box and this is my ultimate deck box. Ultimate Guard Sidewinder. The 80+ black/red 2020 exclusive. Not expensive. Fits in my tiny bag. Does what I need it to. And that satisfying magnetic clap it does when you close it.

[@davidebersol5440]

I love these reviews, especially the video of the non TCG products that are must buys. I have noticed that most of these deck box products are for traveling. I have a few special commander decks that I would love to put into a really nice display case that will only come off the mantle for special occasions. I have wondered if anyone has come across luxury "deck boxes" for display purposes only?

I appreciate the innuendo regarding the leather clasped boxes. I'm sticking with boulders for now, but i definitely see the appeal of something that could equally be described a sculpture with a hidden compartment as a deck box

[@golasticus]

I got me an Aaron Cain deckbox since Prof first reviewed them years ago and it's still holding up well today. Prof isn't lying when he said that these boxes, apart from being a showpiece, are really built to last. Makes me feel bad that there's a clear "favorite child" amongst my decks since I only have one fancy box lol.

[@EmoAdam0312]

Was waiting for this video after that heads up... great idea to give players, if you spend so much on your deck why wouldn't you want to protect that from any accidental damage.

Favorite deckbox : Wulken storage box. Fit 12 commanders deck, resist to anything and if you buy multiple you can stack them. Also with the removable tray you can actually create a box for your token, dice and playmat.

[@shawnhardman9607]

Good to see him review something from Etsy. I just got an awesome 3d printed deck box on Etsy. $35 shipped. Holds 100 double sleeved cards although a little tight. It is newly double sleeved so after some time I think it will fit better. Has side compartment that holds about a dozen tokens. Squeeze tab locking lid. And front window for a top loader that holds your commander. It even came with the too loader and included a free mtg card and couple of 3d printed dice/spin downs. It's my first custom deck box and I was extremely satisfied with it.

I'm not that much into MTG anymore, but I'd love to get one of Leifkicker's deckboxes one day, perhaps even build a deck around it if its theme is hydras or dragons (or squirrels - that squirrel + acorn deckbox is definitely my favorite of their production). They're the coolest deckboxes I've ever seen.

Several years ago, I bought an Aaron Cain box specified to fit two 80+ sidewinders and a 100+, with two dividers and a couple other add-ons. Ended up not using it for that purpose as a month after placing the order I found a more elegant storage/transport system. But the box is absolute quality and I use it for various other, non-MTG, things. Still looks brand new, can’t recommend enough.

I like how the Professor makes a review that looks like he is selling a luxurious car or very expensive cigars.
