[@kobe4521]

I play slivers, so i am curious on what your deck runs. Is there a link u make that shows off what is in your commander deck for slivers?

[@Lxyaltys]

Prof I must ask, for the nexus and heavy play deck boxes, can they hold double sleeved or triple sleeved decks with dragon shield over sleeves because I double sleeve all of my decks with dragon shield overs and most deck boxes can't hold the bigger cards because they usually don't expect most people to use dragon shield overs for some reason, it doesn't matter how many of them they can hold because I know I can get the amount I need in I just need to know if the size of the sleeve can fit

The quiver nexus boxes interlinking with each other is pretty brilliant. They connect in a way that makes them stronger, which is pretty cool! :O the fact they survived the shake test even connected is amazing!

[@sc149]

Fantastic feature for cubes too.

[@hexennacht.]

But they ignored the most obvious use, where is the attachable dice box? I can't find a reason for my decks to be stuck to each other.

[@m1gr3nA]

​@@hexennacht.you just need to get more dice, enough to fill whole deckbox. ;)

[@HessianHunter]

For me the exciting use case for them connecting isn't really transport, it's displaying them at home. Vertical storage is utterly straightforward compared to getting the right kind of shelving.

[@BlackQuest575]

@@HessianHunter I just had an idea, what if you 3D print a wall plate with holes that match the boxes, that way you can store them on a wall and just pick them off it when you need them!

[@Hamuelin]

I asked Gamegenic customer support for literally the exact product that is now called the Sidekick Pro. They told me to wait and see, and lo and behold, 2 weeks later it got announced. Needless to say I am now a very proud owner of a few of them, and I cannot recommend enough. Absolutely perfect for holding and showing off those blinged out commander decks that require lots of counters (looking at you ripple foil Omo with your everything counters).

[@LotusViridis]

I'm so torn. I have a ton of commander decks and have outfitted them all with the original Gamegenic Squires. (90 in total.) It was such a long and patiently budgeted project, and now I want them all in these new ones but I can't justify the cost unless maybe I can sell off my original ones.

[@TheRealSabakuNoGabo]

Gamegenic has been constantly innovating and it's amazing what they come up to. I'm the proud owner of a Cards Lair 400 and use it for my Digimon decks, I can get seven decks into hat bad boy and that's only on the main space. I have dice, tokens, spare cards and even fresh sleeves on the other compartments. I'm amazed at the amount of stuff you can fit there.

[@matejvodrazka7847]

Hey, I have a question. Can both the deck (EDH, double sleeved) and tokens fit inside this deck box? Acording to what prof said in the video, it should, but he was also talking about only fitting in thick sleeves so i got confused as a non-native speaker, so i'm asking about your experience.

[@Dawhitex]

FYI: The leather itself is "fake" yes but if something is glued, this glue often contains some sort of non vegan stuff i.e animal glue ( includes collagen which is often won out of bones or skin from animals) coloring of the leather can contain animal products like Carmine or the softener can be non vegan aswell (altough this is quite rar these days in PVC products i think). So vegan leather means no animal products are used anywhere, neither in production nor the product itself

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Interesting! Also, I was mostly just poking fun. As I said in the video, I found the materials to look and feel great.

[@DerekKnop]

I think that the advantage of the Quiver Nexus boxes linking together is that when you put them in a Quiver, or in a messenger bag, backpack, etc, then they don't bounce around and scratch/damage each other. It also can make the bag they are in more stable. I use a canvas messenger bag for my mtg trips, and it can stack five boulders long, one boulder wide, and three boulders tall. The only downside is that setting it on the floor means if the boxes are not aligned correctly the whole thing can slump over and get messed up (IE, wide and fat from the boxes collapsing). If I could lock them together into a monolithic structure for transport then pop them apart at my destination, that would make carrying them more comfortable and easier.

[@GothamKnight-hsw4vx526430]

THIS, exaaaactly this!!! I've been wanting something just like that forever. I hate it when my deckboxes rumble around in my overstuffed backpack at a Magic event all day, and jab into my back etc.

[@zlink88]

I got my wife and I the sidekick pros, and we love them. They hold our decks and tokens no issue, and mine is a double sleeved token deck. The dice tray in it is plenty large enough for our needs. I definitely recommend it

[@RockyOwl]

It's amazing to think that Prof has been doing these reviews for a LONG time. One thing I am amazed about since his move to the new office space is the amazing quality control regarding videos and their production. I kinda miss being able to hear the "shooka shooka" of the cards inside the boxes as they shake, but I am amazed about the audio and video production.

[@OzoneBaby]

Prof, thank you so much for continuing to do these. I bought my outer sleeves, inner sleeves, and deckbox almost entirely on your recommendations because you are thorough and consistent with what these reviews cover. I have bought thousands of resealable inner sleeves because they fit my exact use case (I hate how, with traditional inner sleeves, when you put them into an outer sleeve the card has the potential to peek out the bottom of the inner sleeve) and watching you dunk one of your cards with those resealable inners into a fishbowl of water told me everything I need to know. Truly, thank you for covering stuff like this that is hard to find or hard to trust elsewhere.

[@OzoneBaby]

@DaClaptain Gotcha. For me, that has nothing to do with Prof dunking cards in water or shaking the shit out of deckboxes to show security. Which is what I care about in these reviews: not just nice words and pictures but use cases, extreme limits, breadth of capability. Ebegging doesn't really affect that part of the review, does it?

[@jamesinifiniz]

I LOVE ACCESSORY REVIEWS SO MUCH!!!! THIS is actually how I got into magic. I started watching all your accessory videos because it was immediately accesible and scratched that "gear" itch even before I really loved magic as a game. Also just something no one does as broadly and consistently as you do. So glad to see you still doing these. Thank you!

[@SubspaceTyrant]

Thank you prof! This is in perfect time to be getting stuff for our loved ones this holiday season! Never the less, thank you for another fantastic video sir!

[@mythiktcg]

I absolutely love these reviews! As a trading card game, I love knowing which boxes, binders, and sleeves are the best for my game.

[@franksantana6859]

It's worth mentioning that the squire holds the cards vertically while the sidekick holds them on their side. Great review prof! I just ordered a sidekick to house my very first commander deck, Vren, The Relentless!

This is what brought me to this channel so many years ago! Love seeing these still alive in 2024!

[@ExImperialDragon]

Oh man. I feel like an idiot. I bought 3 of those Gamegenic Sidekick Pro XLs, because I like to carry lots of tokens and dice with me depending on what decks I'm playing (I got a white one for Marath, for example, literally no deck outproduces me in tokens unless that deck is Ghave). I got them yesterday, and went, "Man, this card case is really hard to open, hot damn" but I managed to get the two pieces apart and slip Marath in there and close it back up. Then I see this video, watch it was usual and see.... when it said "slide card case" in the product description, it meant the *case slides open*, not just that the card case *slides out of the deck box* The good news is that I didn't break the card case, so it's even somewhat idiot proofed!

@@matejvodrazka7847 Yes, if you get the XL it will fit double sleeved Commander decks with some additional space for tokens With Marath, I have the deck double sleeved with KMC inners and Dragon Shield matte sleeves. I have the space to have the 99+Marath, 3 Elemental tokens, a treasure token, an Eldrazi spawn token (for Basking Broodscale), a squirrel token (Squirrel Nest), a food token (specifically just for Rosie Cotton lol), and a generic dry erase token. I also have some extra cards in inner sleeves in the box as a makeshift sideboard, a Gaddock Teeg and a couple of others, plus a divider to separate these cards from the rest of the deck. There's still some room to spare, too. If you use really thick inner sleeves like those hard ones, maybe you'd have less room, but I keep a bunch of extra cards in my boxes now. More than I ever had in an Ultra Pro Satin Tower (which I bought these Gamegenic ones to replace my Satin Towers, because my Towers from 2013ish have all had the rubber coating break down and feel sticky to the touch).

[@wes008pwns]

OMG I'm an idiot, I've been ripping it in half! Thank you for teaching me the proper way 😅

The new Gamegenic deck boxes were initially made for the new Card Game Star Wars Unlimited. It is a pretty good game and I personally really like these deck boxes.

[@jdoom1345]

True. They made thoughtful features that catered to that game specifically. It was a nice bonus that those features translated to Commander perfectly

[@kamikazehansu]

As someone that has been with your channel since your 2nd or 3rd video, it brings me great joy to see another deckbox review. Really hoping for more affordable deckboxes that support decks with triple sleeved cards appearing in the future! I use outer sleeves for some decks that have special sleeves. I really enjoy Dragon Shields Outer Sleeves' shuffle feel, too! Thanks for the great reviews!

[@jt_papertrail]

Have you tried the bastion? pretty sure they easily fit 100+ double sleeved, idk about triple tho

[@kamikazehansu]

@jt_papertrail The sleeves are larger and fit very few deckboxes. I usually use the standard oldschool Dragonshield deckboxes. With an elastic band because they won't close fully.

[@andrewpruitt4144]

I’ve been using the heavy play kit (deck box, dice box, and playmat) as a dedicated pre-release kit. I keep a 100ct of sleeves in the box and the magnetic nature of the setup makes it easy to move from table to table. Not the best for everyday use but a game changer for prereleases and drafts.

[@MCXL1140]

Same. Is great for drafts and sealed.

[@mattmcg6022]

Just wanna say it’s been over 20 years since I played, but I got my foundation starter box with the 350 cards and made some decks and I’m excited to play. Your videos have helped me a lot in understanding all that I’ve missed out on and catch up relatively fast, and this was just the review I needed as I need a couple more boxes as this is an addictive hobby

[@oxtim394]

Been replacing my deck boxes with squire pluses for the last few months. I love how they fit so perfectly in my gamegenic dungeon, and i can turn them outward so that i can see the card in the slide case without even having to take the deckbox out of the dungeon! GG is killin' it

[@crazywizard73]

Did you have to do anything special for them to fit in the dungeon? Mine are like a couple MM too tall and the dungeon lid doesn't fit comfortably

[@oxtim394]

@crazywizard73 weird. I've never had any issues. It's all Gamegenic, so they're made to fit together. Perhaps something isn't seated correctly somewhere? It all should just fit

[@nopinions]

Always appreciate the new reviews. The art on the Ultimate Guards are truly gorgeously done. I am honestly super tempted to pick up the larger hives for shelf storage. Still have not found anything to beat Bastions for my commander decks and Boulders for smaller decklists.

[@michaelryan1767]

Hey Prof! I just bought the Academic 133+ for my first ever homebrew Commander deck, and I absolutely love it! My LGS only had the Stealth version in stock, which was a bit disappointing, but thats ok, I'd much rather give *them* my money than Amazon, which is the only place I can order the Tolarian branded box in my area afaik. Literally my only complaint is that the top drawer is a bit of a snug fit, and requires a little more effort than I'd like to pull it out, but hopefully with more use it'll be easier over time. It's definitely an A from me!

[@ItsAerios]

Whenever i hear Profs intro following by the Word Deck Box i feel like back in 2018 where i planned to come back to Magic and BINGE all the Videos Prof did. This Series is just pure nostalgia and love the Innovation we got in Deck boxes and of course in the Prof himself

[@DanielLivant]

Please do a review of Heavy Play curved edge sleeves. I bought a several sets of their sleeves and all of them crack open on the corners. I think putting them on blast for this would be great.

[@cardriverxxx]

For what it's worth, I emailed HP and they immediately shipped me replacements for free, and the replacements have been holding up better. I just love the curved edge so much that I'm willing to give a little bit of leeway here, but I feel you. I would love to see the professors take. Either way, heavy play support has been excellent.

[@GreatWhiteElf]

Maybe they have some quality issues due to being new? I say because my friend got some and hasn't had any issues. Those are his favorite sleeves now.

[@cardriverxxx]

@GreatWhiteElf very possible, I sent some photos to them where you can see that certain sleeves had less tight of a seal between the textured back and clear front. Most of the sleeves I have don't have that issue.

[@DanielLivant]

@@GreatWhiteElf Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like them. I tried them out, bought like 5 packs of sleeves and then realized they were all cracked and even the replacements were bad. I dunno, they just reached out to me about replacements. I'll probably give them another try, they do shuffle really smooth....when they aren't cracked.

[@Kuchito08]

the fact they're more expensive than something like the big name sleeves is really damned annoying. my brother bought a pack and they got scratched up quite heavily on the front after only a week or two of light play.

[@wes008pwns]

@@matejvodrazka7847 I only single-sleeve my cards, but I fit the deck and 20+ token cards (also sleeved) in it, so I imagine if you double-sleeve, you could potentially fit a couple token cards in there. From Gamegenic's website: "The Sidekick PRO holds 100 double-sleeved cards in extra Thick Inner Sleeves. It can also fit 100 regular double-sleeved cards and has extra room for token cards." So I wouldn't count on many tokens when double-sleeved, but since they specify "extra-thick inner sleeves," you could probably still fit a few tokens.

[@johnyedinak1180]

I'm definitely gonna get a set of the quiver time deck boxes, I love the idea of the stackable deck boxes being able to snap them together and slide them into my backpack for easy transport. Clearly and ingenious product that I would rate a solid A!

[@AlluMan96]

The Quiver Time Nexus having the ability to attach to one another might seem like a bit of a gimmick, but I'd say it's mighty handy. As someone, who travels around with a decent sized backpack, the Nexus' linking together like that makes it much better for carrying them around. Them being snapped together means they shake around and consequently bump around alot less. Also, when getting ready to start play, just pulling out a nice row of them cleanly out of the bag instead of rummaging for each box separately would be a nice quality of life. As my collection of decks continues to grow, my need for more containers grows alongside it and I think that for a standardized set of boxes, the Nexus looks very much like something I would strongly consider buying in bulk for decks, that aren't getting something a little more fancy from me.

[@truce11]

Bout time! Actually had hoped Prof would look at these esp the Heavy Play. The UG art deck boxes surprisingly impressed me in person

[@trickster562]

One of my favorite deck boxes was bought for me by my wife. They are Mage Tech Commander boxes. It has a better commander case than the gamegenic deck box, it comes with a divider to keep your tokens separate, and It also has a dice drawer. The flap can also be used to angle the box which is sometimes useful.

[@TheRcnbalt]

Gamegenic for EDH has been my go to. The Bastion 100+ XL looks good, is easy to open, secures very well, and can hold a full double sleeved deck + 15-20 tokens. The only thing Gamegenic does not have which I wish they did is a box for other 60 card constructed decks. when it comes to sealed i love to keep my deck in the Bastion 50. but for my 60 card decks (and 15 card sideboard) I normally have to look elsewhere because the Bastion 50 simply cannot hold it all. I have heard the Ultimate Guard Boulder 80 is a good pick so i might try that, but until Gamegenic makes an 80 card deckbox I will continue my search.

[@gwitch]

Went to bed after watching your comparison video from last year to boulders and towers, and woke up to this. Good timing! I’ve started playing TCGs in person (which means I can now play FAB, which has been fun), and so I’m finally in need of accessories like these. Thank you 🙏

Ahhh, I love the accessory reviews! Also, the GameGenic stuff looks great as well as the Quiver stuff - I would just prefer a version of the Quiver with a mat compartment.

Hot tip, if you want a frosted exterior on a normal hard plastic shell, use high grit sandpaper. 400+ works well. (best to wet sand)

Even Gamegenic's Side Holder 100+ XL deckboxes are really great quality! I was skeptical because I just needed something cheap on the go and they were like 3 bucks at my LGS but they're definitely not like the old Ultra Pro flip plastic deck boxes. There's something in the water...or plastics?...at Gamegenic.

This will be fun to watch, i haven't paid attention to commercial boxes since i started 3D printing my own custom ones

Retailer here! I would like to report that I was able to order the magnetic heavy play deck and dice boxes from my distributor. I had a customer who wanted a special order for them and we pretty much ordered the remaining stock, as he wanted 12 boxes. While we did clear out the offering, this shows that they can be ordered after the distributor gets more.

the funny part about Prof shaking the deck boxes is that I know I have a deck box that would fly open and throw my cards everywhere

[@MrBe56]

So happy to see a deckbox review again. The nexus is pretty neat. I can't wait to see what they make next

[@camoyuki]

10:40 Dang, I don't need any more deck boxes, but I really want some with cool art now

[@mercurialtim3021]

Prof, I love these reviews! The fact most of my deckboxes don't fit in my quiver is the only reason I don't use it. I may have to get the new Nexus boxes.

[@Lumautis]

I always love seeing a new product review video! I think I'm going to pick up one of the art boxes

[@GoWailord]

I was just looking for deck boxes for my Christmas list, perfect timing Prof!

[@switcheruby]

Love the accessories reviews! That's how I found TCC as primarily a player of other card games. I trust the professor, and I know he's not going to be trashing other products to juice up his own deck box, but it does feel like a conflict of interest now.

[@Dragonriderperson]

Thanks to you and your team prof! I’ve been thinking of getting back into paper mtg, and deck boxes are one of the things I’m shopping around on

[@XenoMike]

I used to buy exclusively the Ultimate Guard Sidewinders but now that I have more than 8 decks, I think I'm going to make the switch to Gamegenic boxes -- I'm pleased with the quality of my Sidewinders but it's annoying not being able to tell which deck is which at a glance. Plus, Gamegenic boxes can be open without taking up lots of space.

[@jt_papertrail]

Last week I bought like 6 gamegenic bastions, they are probably my favorite deck box so far, easily fits my sleeved edh decks, tokens, and a life counter wheel. No bells and whistles. It's probably better for my wallet that those heavy play boxes are all so expensive, now I'm not tempted to just buy 16 of them lol

[@GamegenicSupplies]

😍

[@jt_papertrail]

@@GamegenicSupplies 11/10 deck boxes! love the dungeon too!

[@ChiralWolf]

It's really nice that the market has gotten to the point that you can buy pretty much anything from your LGS and have a reasonable expectation that it at least won't fall apart. So many good options available now!

[@mweepigeon]

Worth noting that the Heavy Play's magnet system is a lot more restrictive than the Nexus interlocking system. All of the RFG deckboxes only have magnets on one side, meaning you can attach two deckboxes and nothing else. Similarly, the Dicebox only has magnets on one side - but the Dicebox MAX is double sided. So you can do [Deckbox - Dicebox MAX - Deckbox], but only [Deckbox - Dicebox]. Also want to point out that the Deckbox MAX flap is intended to be folded into a weird triangle shape when open to take up less table space, so it's not quite as bad that it doesn't lie flat, but it's still awkward Also, Ultimate Guard has been using "Xenoskin" for ages now :P so "Armorfyber" isn't really that out of line
