Magic card dimensions vary greatly, with MTG cards measuring 2.5 inches in length, 0.012 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in height. MTG cards are 12 point thicker than standard playing cards, which are about 8 point. They are typically 12-13 mils thick, with thinner cards being slightly thicker. Sleeves range from 40 to 120 microns, making them thicker and more durable than normal writing or printing paper. MTG cards have a standard thickness of about 0.012 inches (0.305mm), which is just a hair thicker than an average playing card. The thickness of a standard Magic: The Gathering card is approximately 0.012 inches or 0.305 millimeters, which is fairly uniform on non-foil cards. The card stock used to make print sheets of Magic cards is thicker and more durable than normal writing or printing paper.

How thick is card?
Paper thickness can be measured directly in linear units, usually expressed in thousandths of an inch (pt. and pts.) and mils in the United States. For example, a 10 pt. card is 0. 010 in thick, corresponding to a weight of about 250 g/m2, and a 12 pt. card is 0. 012 in (0. 3048 mm). The thou point (1/1, 000 inch) differs from the typographical point (1/12 traditional pica = exactly 0. 01383 inch = 0. 35136 mm).
The length and width of card stock are often stated in terms of the ISO system of paper sizes, with specific dimensions implied by numbers prefixed with the letter A. For example, card stock labeled A3 measures 420 × 297 mm (16. 5 × 11. 7 in).
How thick is 52 playing cards?
The average thickness of a standard deck of 52 playing cards is approximately 3/4 of an inch. To convert between units of measurement, it is necessary to multiply by 1 and to exercise caution with regard to the representation of 1. For example, if there are 52 cards, each card is 19 units in length. Thus, 05/52 = 0. 366 mm thick.
How thick are magic cards in PT?
A beginner’s guide to trading card thickness is essential for those new to the hobby. The 35 point card is the thickness of the card itself, measured in points, which are used to measure paper or cardstock thickness. Understanding the thickness of different trading cards can be overwhelming and confusing. To preserve your trading card, it is crucial to know the thickness and choose the right protective case.
To prevent damage, ensure the trading card is placed in the right size protective case. A small protective toploader or magnetic card holder can cause damage to the card’s surface and make it difficult to remove it. A large protective case may cause damage by excessive movement, while a small case may cause the card to fall out of the topload.
In summary, understanding the thickness of trading cards is crucial for preserving them and ensuring their proper protection. Popular brands and products offer different thicknesses and protective cases to suit different needs.
Is a 300gsm card thick?
A card with a weight exceeding 300 gsm is regarded as substantial in both thickness and weight.
How thick is 35pt?
Card thickness is typically measured in points (pt), which is one thousandth of an inch. Manufacturers use calipers to determine the thickness by measuring small distances between two surfaces. Different types of cards may have varying levels of thickness, such as sports trading cards with a standard thickness range of 20pt to 35pt, or even higher for special editions or memorabilia cards. The measurement displayed on the instrument indicates the card’s thickness in points.
Is a 200gsm card thick?
Thin card paper is ideal for document covers, while 200 gsm paper is heavier and suitable for thick sheets. 250 gsm paper is commonly used for greetings cards, invitations, and booklet covers. The higher the gsm, the thicker the paper. Paper weight, measured in gsm (grams per square meter), is typically higher. However, global supply issues may cause paper brands to vary on orders, resulting in slightly different feel and finish. To avoid this, customers should contact livechat before placing an order.
How thick is a poker card in mm?
A standard poker card deck is typically measured at 2 inches. The dimensions of the standard poker card deck are 5 inches by 3. 5 inches, with a thickness of 1. 17 mm and 0. 24 mm, respectively. The typical weight of a poker card deck is 280 grams per square meter. However, this can vary depending on the quality of the card, with higher-quality decks tending to weigh between 310 and 330 grams.
How thick are playing cards GSM?
The standard playing card is printed on 300gsm silk with a laminated side. To determine the thickness of a playing card, use a dedicated playing card box calculator. Aura Print offers various types of playing cards, including decks with photo backs and Oracle cards. To choose the best dimensions for your needs, consider printing a deck of playing cards with photo backs or your own set of Oracle cards.
How thick is a Magic card in MM?
Magic The Gathering custom tokens are 63. 5×88. 9mm in size, with a thickness of around 0. 3mm. To create authentic tokens, choose a paper or card stock like 350gsm Silk. Printing custom MTG cards at 300-600 DPI is recommended for optimal image quality, especially for novelty cards. Creating XXL tokens for MagicFest, local tournaments, or conventions will make them a talk of the table. With this knowledge, you can create Magic cards at home and use your imagination to create endless possibilities.
How thick is 230gsm card?
The list of printing paper thicknesses includes the following: 230 gsm single-side coated board, 0. 295 gsm single-side coated board, 0. 250 gsm single-side coated board, 0. 32300 gsm single-side coated board, 0. 425350 gsm single-side coated board, and 0. 46 gsm single-side coated board.

Thank you for making this prof. I am seeing a lot of things about how wizards is cancelling early access events, and all sorts of other negative things in the community, but its so nice to have these equipment reviews and other uplifting content to balance those things out. People like you are helping to preserve and enrich the game we love so much. I hope you’re having a good week in what is hopefully the twilight of the panharmonicon.
I exclusively use dragon shield resealables with dragon shield matte sleeves and I’ve found that boxes such as the Alcove, Satin Tower, and BoxGods Titan, all snugly fit the double sleeved commander decks. Unfortunately there is no room for tokens. I’m looking forward to picking one of these new boxes up to see how they compare.
This box looks amazing! As someone who only uses Dragon Shield Matt sleeves and if I do double sleeve will only trust the Sealable Dragon Sleeve inners I have found it hard to find a case that will fit them. Only deck box I have found to do this is the Ultra Pro Alcove Box. Good to see another box that I have a option now.
My pet deck has been my Chandra Tribal EDH deck for a few years, now, and I decided to switch it over to the Dragon Shield Resealables when they came out. I could definitely tell a difference, since I no longer had room for my tokens and Emblem cards in my Satin Tower, but the 99 (almost all foiled) with Resealable Inners and Dragon Shield Mattes (barely) fit in the box, with room for the commander on the side. So, Satin Towers will work, but you’ll need something else for tokens/other “accessory” cards. I use one of the hard plastic cases that Card Kingdom mails cards in!
I’ve found that with double-sleeving with both Dragon Shield sealable inners and normal Dragon Shield outer sleeves, if you store them in an Ultra-Pro Alcove for about a month, they’ll fit in any deck box after. It worked with my satin tower. Also, the sealable Dragon Shield inners will fit in a 100+ Boulder deck box if you use Eclipse outer sleeves.
I just started double-sleeving my Commander decks as my main two are starting to get more and more expensive upgrades over the years, super-nice to see that Gamegenic is offering the XLs as I really like the sealable Dragonshield inners. My Dungeon is a fantastic purchase and I can’t wait to buy a couple of Strongholds for my Commander decks.
Been waiting for this for a while. However, in the mean time I have been using the Ultimate Guard Deck Case 100+’s. They fit my Commander decks with Dragonshield Sealable Inner Sleeves and Dragonshield Matte exterior sleeves just fine. Gamegenic has a very similar version but those only fit a regular double-sleeved deck like an Ultimate Guard Boulder. Since my exterior sleeves can be different colors, I use the translucent Ultimate Guard Deck Case 100’s and then throw them in my Quiver case. I keep the appropriate tokens for each deck between each deck box in the Quiver. Works great, keeps things organized, and looks good while doing it. : ) Oh, quick side note. When using the Ultimate Guard Deck Case 100+’s, be sure to keep the included divider inside the deck box when you use it. Keep the divider at the rear of the deck box so that the seams in the back of the box, which are on the inside, don’t mark your cards. With the divider, that means the cards in the front and back rest up against an entirely smooth surface. Learned that one the hard way. Anyhow, hope that helps : )
I’ve been using the guild themed alcove deck boxes for my double sleeves commander decks. All my decks are double sleeves in dragon shields and dragon shield resealable inners. I would like to say however, the fit is just perfect if you squeeze the air out. I’ve found them to be really good for flattening my foils too
After years of buying boxes that say they can hold double sleeved commander decks and just being disappointed when they couldnt, i really wasnt expecting this to work but fortunately i can say that it does and that these are the holy grails of deck boxes… now to find something that can hold all of my new XL deck boxes…
My hero. Yes this is my issue now. I got a Sapphire BouldernTray and it’s absolutely beautiful and I love it, but then I finally got my outer sleeves and right at the last 6-7 cards it started getting pretty tight to the point of needing to force a card into it if I were to fit any more (so I didn’t and came to this article instead) 🙂 Would love a deeper BouldernTray that can accommodate us inner sleeve users
Just sleeved up my commander deck with dragon shield sealable inner sleeves and matte outer sleeves, and it wouldn’t fit into a ultimate guard boulder 100. Found that it will fit in a ultimate guard deck case 100 with just enough room. They also fit into my flip n tray 200 just as good as the boulder. Several of my friends use them and say that they hold up really well. Picked some up from miniature market for 2.39 each!
Gamegenic watchtower is probably my favorite deckbox these days, just so versatile and feels great. Also the magnetic flaps prevents the inevitable breakdown of that hinge that other deckboxes deal with. Also, I feel like no one talks about how nice PLAYING out of the inner box is, with towering decks and slippery sleeves, its super easy to accidently knock over your entire deck, playing out of the box prevents that.
FINALLY! A series that can properly hold a fully protected Commander Deck! Do still wish there were Boulders that had this capacity as I love their finish and seal…! Also looks like these are very tricky to get hold of in the EU? I really do wish you could take a quick peek at global availability in your accessory reviews…?
Ive been having this issue and was desperately looking for deck boxes that would fit these decks. The first one i found was that the satin towers will actually hold these thick decks because they are slightly larger then most other 100+ deck boxes but they are a tight fit. The only other deck box i could find was from a new product from dragon shield called the double shell. There under 10$ and hold up to 120 double sleeved cards. They hold the thick decks nicely and still have room for tokens. These are becoming my favorite commander deck boxes right now. I also use the 160 ultmate guard for my expensive commander decks and just split the deck into 2 compartments but this box is expensive and wouldn’t recommend for every commander deck.
The squire is a little bit bigger than the others, I’ve bought it and was able to fit Dragon shield mattes + Dragon shield inner sealable sleeves which I think are the thickest possible combination and it still has enough space for 4-5 cards before it gets tight fit. You can check their site and compare the sizes of XL vs the normal ones and you can see for yourself that the squire gives you more space than the others. I hope that this comment will be helpful for people that like to use DS mattes + DS sealable inners and want to find a box that fit them.
Hey prof! Idk if you can recommend it for just in case deck flap fall off, but in the Watchtower XL, I take out the the thing that is a “tight fit too put my deck in” and just put the cards in the box without the card holder and it has worked SO WELL for me. I always store my box flat so no chance of spill when going to my LGS.
Sometimes you just have to get creative. The ultimate guard 100+ flip’n’tray will work with 100 dragonshield resealable inners with dragonshield mattes IF you replace the inner card tray with the cardboard card tray from a mtg bundle box. Yes, really, I’m serious. It’s a perfect fit in the deck box, the thinner material allows for 100 double sleeved with dragonshield resealables. And the glossy cardboard actually makes it easier to pull out the deck tray. You can even fit about 8 single sleeved tokens on the side (facing perpendicular to your deck). This is my preferred deckbox until “120 count” boxes becomes available.
Once you get the air out it’s so nice though, been using the watch tower and dragon shield inner + Ultrapro gloss combo for months now I don’t recommend it, but I have been able to squeeze my watch tower into my quiver. My quiver currently holds 1x watch tower (not XL) 1x boulder 1x satan tower 1x bluetooth speaker So far the boulder has been great for sealing the air out, but the hardest to get my double sleeved cards in unless the whole deck is completely air free. I decided on the watch tower as my first deck box months ago after perusal his other article
I use the dragon shield inners sealable and i’ve been using DEX deck boxes. I would post a pic, but they’re the typical over flap with magnets. They’re ok and my decks fit fine. I have not done much travel with them so I don’t know how well they hold up in travel, they mostly just sit on my shelf. Hope this help.
“…for a deckbox that they can put 100 cards sleeved in … sealable inners…” Sorry prof, but I’ll have to call you out on this one! I have two 100 card Canlander decks and use the large (100 card) Boulder variant, and they fit just about perfectly, with only space for one (single) sleeved token on each end, and some space on the sides for about 6-8 more sleeved tokens. Would this fit if I was using thicc Dragon Shield outer sleeves? Probably not. But with UltraPro’s Eclipse (or the guild print) sleeves it’s perfectly fine (and I haven’t tried it, but the Katanas seem to be a similar thickness). Of course you just need to make sure you press all the air out after sleeving it, but you should be doing that anyway. Just make sure to test it with other sleeves besides Dragon Shield!
Tbh, if someone asks me, I’d tell them to just skip the regular line, I have two strongholds, and I love them, but Damm are those tight! Gamegenic really doesn’t give any extra space, and I double sleeve with regular dragon shield inners, like, I have a deck that I still need to fidget with to get in, it’s way too tight. Hoped they fixed it with this line
This is 100% targeted to Commander. I have several double sleeved regular decks, resealable dragon shields and dragon shield sleeves btw. They fit very easily in 100+ deck boxes by both ultimate guard and gamegenic. This is niche, but a niche that needs more attention for people who just have one commander or just want to bring one with them to play. So thank you Gamegenic for bringing this to market
I’ve actually asked this specific question multiple times. In particular referencing Dragon Shield Matte outer sleeves with Dragon Shield Sealable inners. I found that a fully sleeved commander deck actually does fit inside of an Ultra Pro Satin Tower quite comfortably. Can you please review the new Ultra Pro Satin Cube in the future?
I’ve been using the Dragon Shield resealable inner sleeves for a while now (for commander decks) and they definitely take up more space. I’ve found that with some sleeves like the Eclipse, the overall space isn’t too much more than normal and will fit most boxes. However I’ve been using Dragon Shield sleeves recently and with the inner sleeves they take up significantly more space. The only box I’ve found that will hold these decks are the Ultra Pro Satin Towers; and then only barely. Hopefully these boxes in the article are a viable option.
You mentioned putting in the comments a deck box that works! So I have my Jhoira commander deck with Dragonshield non-art matte sleeves and the Sealable Inner sleeves placed into an Ultimate Guard Monolith 100+. It actually fits really well. I had previously had this deck in an Ultimate Guard Xenoskin Flip N Tray 100+, but when I switched to the sealable inners they would not fit! Fortunately the Monolith worked perfect for me.
Hi Prof, I actually use the Dragon Shield Perfect Fit Sealable Inner sleeves and either Dragon Shield Matte or Katana sleeves for the outer. I’ve found that I can get them inside Ultra Pro’s Satin Towers just fine and the Ultra Pro Alcove Flip boxes as well. I also went through a struggle trying to find a deck box for my commander decks but this is the solution I’ve come up with.
I just double-sleeved with the Dragon Shield resealables. My main boxes are the Ultra Pro 100+ boxes (sometimes only $5) and the first deck I did does fit, just barely, with only a couple-3 tokens. However, this was after letting them sit under my Bevington Shakespeare collected works, Lord of the Rings single volume edition, and 25 pounds of weight for a whole day. Gotta say they feel real easy to work with after that. I just can’t feel comfortable buying the cheaper vinyl boxes when I can spend the other 15-30 dollars on better cards instead. These boxes are defo on my wishlist though : )
Hiya Prof! I’m a Yugioh player but still got myself a Gamegenic Watchtower after your favourable review. It was so big I used to fill up the space with a ton of extra stuff like a mini-notepad and way too many tokens. After the tournament rules changed to allow double sleeving, I was worried that my deckbox might have gotten too small, but it snugly fits my 70 double-sleeved cards and half a dozen double-sleeved tokens. Super happy with my deckbox, and of course doublesleeving using Dragon Shields. 😉
I haven’t had any issues fitting my Karador deck (sleeved in Dragon Shield Mattes and Dragon Shield sealable inners) in REP Gaming Commander sized steel deck boxes. There’s enough room to fit the whole thing, but what I do is fit the 99 vertically and the general, divider, and few tokens I use horizontally, perpendicular to the hinge. It’s a snug fit, but with some fiddling you can get the whole thing in there without any cards sticking up to get bent. Certainly doesn’t work for Perfect Hards, though.
I have personally had success with the UltraPro Satin tower for my Dragon Shield outers and DS Sealable inner sleeved commander deck, with room for 1 to 2 single sleeved Tokens. There is also enough room on the side for a trimmed down top loader to hold my commander card! I was bummed the initial offering from Gamegenic could not house my deck, as I loved the Watchtower, but alas, these XL options came too late to the game!
The eclipse pro commander deck boxes hold my DS resealable just fine but I use the eclipse sleeves over dragon shields so results may vary! On a related note, you should check out Pro-Mold Pc1 Mini Snaps/Ultra Pro 20pt mini snaps. They perfectly hold a perfect fitted card and make a magnificent replacement for crappy top loaders for commanders! On top of that they fit inside most deck boxes so you can easily carry your commander with your deck! 😀
Come on man, I want to get a Commander deck in a Boulder 100+, but I am using Dragon Shield Perfect Fit Resealable Smoked Inners & Dragon Shield Art Matte (Ron Weasley) Outers…!?! Maybe you should put a bug in Ultimate Guard’s ear for a Boulder Thicc 125+…?!? My Superhive 550+ holds five Boulder 100+ deck boxes perfectly (one for each Mana color), so if they could size the Boulder Thicc 125+ so FOUR would fit perfectly in a Superhive 550+, that would be great…! One Superhive with five Boulder 100+ deck boxes for five Standard (60+15) decks, another with four Boulder Thicc 125+ deck boxes for four Commander decks…! Perfection…
I sleeve my commander decks in KMC Perfect Hard then Dragon Shield Art Mattes then KMC Matte/Classic oversleeves. I was struggling to find any deck box that can fit the extra width of oversleeves. The Gamegenic STRONGHOLD 200+ CONVERTIBLE (not the Xl) fits it perfectly! Half the deck in each compartment.
A cheap alternative are the Ultimate Guard Deck Cases 100+ for 2,49 Euro. They do fit 100 double sleeved cards perfectly, even if they are sleeved in Dragon Shields resealables. But beware, I bought an Ultimate Guard Deck Case 80+ for my double sleeved modern deck. This deck box doesn´t fit 75 cards and I don´t know why. Maybe they have a size tolerance, although it worked everytime for my commander decks.
Ultra Pro’s “Eclipse Pro 100+” deck boxes would like to have a word with you, Professor. I’m not normally a fan of UP (at all, even a little bit), but the eclipse series holds a dragonshield 2x sleeved EDH deck and doesn’t cost infinite money like other deckboxes. EDIT: my one complaint is the lid… but it’s a 100 card box WITH a divider that costs less than $5.
The real struggle is if you’re a glutton for punishment (like myself) and use oversleeves over art sleeves on a commander deck. The REP steel deck box is almost perfect, but about 2 mm too short which ends up bending the oversleeves. The only deckboxes I’ve found that consciously design their boxes for oversleeving are Dex Protection, and sadly the smallest size that reasonably fits the 100 cards is one with a dice compartment attached (the “medium” size), so having more than 1-2 oversleeved decks takes up a LOT of backpack space. I get it’s a very niche market, but still… 😩
I just got back into paper magic after 2 years of only moto and mtga, and i already love the gamegenic sidekick, almost every other deck box with magnet latches on just one side are LESS secure that I tried, and I think the fact that this one uses properly orientated magnets on the lid AND box (4 on each side, so 16 total) helps make it so secure, since most seem to use just 1 to 2 magnets on the lid, then a strip of metal in glued into the box instead of another magnet. also they are neodymium (or at least partial) so you can hold a pen with a metal clip on the side even through the fabric
Incoming XL+ from Gamegenic I hope. Those extra cards are important especially with Partner Commanders and Companions. Make it fit 110 cards. You can see the bend in the cards with 100 cards full already. The reason you put your cards in Perfect Hards is because they are expensive – so why bend them when they are inside?
I already made the mistake of buying sealable perfect size thinking that 100 cards in Dragonshield sealed perfect size and in Dragonshield matte sleeves could fit in a Dragonshield 100 cards deckbox but apparently not, I’m not gonna buy a specific deckbox (probably not sold in europe) to justify the purchase of a garbage product, I’m just gonna buy normal top loader
Whenever you do those deckbox-videos, all I can think is: Quiver. People, just get a Quiver. it solves all of those problems. I stopped looking for better boxes after I got my Quiver Time, and I only purchased another deckbox when someone told me there is a smaller version of it, which now holds my Limited supplies.
I 100% agree with the professor on this. I recently purchased all gamegenic deck boxes per his previous recommendation, so I have 11 plus the giant dungeon to hold 10 of them, and I cant agree harder on the “just give it a little bit more room for a few more cards” statement. Now I THINK all my boxes are the XL design… as all my 100 card decks fit, and on the sidekicks I put the tokens needed for the deck on top of the cards, and can still put the flap over the deck box just fine. Fully recommend gamegenics so much I’m going to probably make my own article on how amazing they are. Thank you professor
LEFTIES UNITE! Lol. Thanks for these really helpful articles,Professor! I recently got back into playing/collecting and as a lover of my cards, I’ve been trying to protect them all better by upgrading to doubling sleeving. Which has lead to the need of bigger boxes! I’ve gotten a few of your recommendations now and I’m happy with my purchases. I do however have a question about doublesleeving. Ive been using matte Dragon Shields with either their perfect fit or sealable perfect fits depending on card value. I wanted to inquire about whether or not the sleeves do eventually stop filling back up with air? I keep getting this accordion effect where I press out all the air and put them in their boxes, but they always seem to puff back up again, requiring me to carefully press out the air when bringing a “thicc deck” out to play. Im willing to do whatever it takes to protect my precious cards, but I still can’t help but wonder if the decks will seal off air better over time?
…as someone who only uses the Stanley 10 Compartment Small Part Organizer to carry around my Dragon-Shield Sealable double sleeved decks, it comes as a surprise to me to hear other people have trouble with their deck boxes. Seriously, each compartment on the Stanley can fit a THICC double sleeved commander deck and even have room for some tokens, and I have 8 of them, plus 2 extra super large compartments for other things. Best $15 I’ve ever spent
I like using art sleeves and protecting them with KMC character guards. Makes for a huge pile on all three axis, though, and I’ve had to switch my entire collection over to ‘Dex Protection Creation – Medium’ deckboxes so they’ll fit well. They have that bit of extra room the professor is looking for, but lack finger dips and removable flaps. It’s interesting he says he doesn’t know what will hold such a meaty deck – I’m almost certain he reviewed those boxes long ago. I used to use Ultimate Guard Twin Flip N’ Trays, but the trays were too small for the decks. I took the trays out and put the decks in the bare sockets, which worked wonders for a long time – until one day, someone else put some of my decks back, and crammed one of the bottom cards into the corner as they did so, bending and ruining it (Marsh Flats. Ouch)
I was recommended the Gamegenic XL on the reddit in the last week (and I will be getting one), but up until it existed, I’ve been using the PirateLab Slice 120. I saw your review of it from 2017 but decided to take a chance anyways, and I think it could warrant another look because the one I got last June/July seems to have stronger magnets/construction than what you reviewed and it currently holds my most prized double sleeve blinged out EDH deck and I’ve never had a problem, worry or concern with it. After being told about the Gamegenic XL though, it is worth it to note that the slice only has the 1 finger cutout so I have to do the grab/dump as opposed to the 2 cutouts of the gamegenic.
Great article as always 🙂 Another deck box to consider for you might be the “Zauberhand” deck box. I’ve got mine last week and I’m absolutely in love with it! So many good ideas went into this thing, like the attached playmat, the integrated power bank or the magnetic commander sleeves. There is a small introduction article on youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=arimqGtg610) but be warned, it’s in german.
Great article as always. Still wish Game Genic would take a crack at boxes/cases for miniatures. I play Heroclix and use DS:Classic Clears for the Data Cards and boxes are a mix of GameGenics and Boulders from UG. Also would love for you do a review of some stuff like MDG Dice Trays and collapsible dice towers, I’m sure one of your DnD friends has one to lend for a vid!
I tried the Resealable Dragon shield inners and it wouldn’t fit in my Boulder so I was pissed off and went to the non sealable dragin shield inners and it BARELY fits into my boulder. If they could just make the boulder SLIGHTLY bigger I would gladly rebuy all my boulders and double sleeve all decks. Currently I only have the one deck that needed more opacity in its sleeves double sleeved.
You can fit exactly 100 double sleeved cards using the Dragon Shield sealable inner sleeves and Ultra Pro Eclipse sleeves (either matte or gloss work) into an Ultimate Guard Boulder deck box. One caveat for this configuration is that you do need to have a limited amount of foils in the deck as they are ever so slightly thicker, and I was not kidding about the exactly 100 card figure.
Using regular kmc inners and katana outers, i never really have issues with deckboxes. If i used perfect hards, might have a hard time. The biggest issue is dragonshield sleeves. Theyre high durability but they’re so thick, and the biggest issue i have with them is their length. They are too long for magic cards, leaving a floppy bit of plastic hanging over the edge of the card. Katanas are arguably just as durable, and actually fit cards better. If you just use katanas, youll have less issues with deck box size 🙂 lol
Hi Prof., I hope you see this. Can these boxes fit cards sleeved with the KMC outer sleeves? I have a deck in some legion sleeves because I love the art, but I got the KMC outer sleeves for it because we know how prom to peeling and splitting the legion sleeves are. I currently have them in Andes protection box, but it’s starting to show it’s age and I’m looking for a new box. Hoping these might be the solution.
I have a box that can hold my demon commander deck, inner sleeves are dragonshield resealable (same as this article) and drsgonshield art matte outersleves. As well as a tiny amount of tokens (about 10) I keep the tokens and commander sideways next to the next itself in the same box for preference to not shuffle my commander by mistake. The box you might ask, is one you have already covered. The Ravnica Guild alcove box (if my memory serves me right) using the Rakdos for the demons ofcourse. Best box I hve ever owned, never opened no matter how hard I try, yes the lid is not removable but it has no wear&tear after tons of use. And I use it to have my commander on during play (raised platform, easy to see) Sorry for the wall of text. And I do hope that the dear Professor reads this and tries one of the decks from this article in one of the Ravnica Guild Alcove boxes
My double sleeved deck barely fits in the Ultra Pro Satin Tower, however I have just a few more expensive cards double sleeved with sealable and the rest with normal dragon shield inners. There is no room for tokens or anything else nfortunately. (except dice in the bottom compartment) Hope these are good, excited to watch!
So, Dex protection makes a form of double dex box that can fit a commander deck and a 60 card deck and sideboard sleeved in dragon shield sealables and dragon shield mattes. The Creation Line large deck box. It’s what I mostly use if I’m going to a friend’s house for a night of magic and only want to bring two of my decks, rather than dragging a dungeon with me.
I hate to say this and I’m very mad at myself for this but I pulled a baker jersey and I creased the corner putting into a too small top loader…amateur move but a learning experience, was my first hit returning to the hobby and of course after 2 years it’s still the best card I’ve pulled, and it’s worthless now due to a damn mega crease lol
I originally collected heavily in the late 80’s- mid 90’s. Back when all cards were 1 thickness. And besides 1989 Bowman were all the same size lol. Covid and the hype got me back in the hobby like so many I’m sure. So I really appreciate this article as I look to top load some relic hits etc. And assuming a 35 point top loader will be okay for a double sleeve. IE penny sleeve into a top loader on a standard thickness card
