Reddit reviews Ultra Pro 2-Piece 150 Count Clear Card Storage Box

I used to keep each deck in a case like this to showcase the commander. Now that I doublesleeve my decks don't fit in those boxes as well, so I use these. I think it's easier than grouping all your decks together.

I've built my collection of EDH decks since I started playing EDH in around 2011-2012. I used to have a lot more 60-card casual decks, but then my playgroup gradually switched to EDH/Commander because it was "more fair." My collection of Commander decks include the 32 precon decks I've purchased of which about 6 or 7 I've modified. The rest of them are in their original state. I just counted the deck's I've built from scratch and I currently have 57 of them so I apparently have 89 total Commander decks.

I've only disassembled 2 of my Commander decks over time. My first deck I played a lot and it was a Naya [[Survival of the Fittest]] goodstuff deck led by [[Rith, the Awakener]]. It contained the Fruity Pebbles combo, and after I won a few times with that combo I decided to retire the deck. The other deck I took apart was a lame deck that tried to play too many big bombs without enough support, and it was a 5-color deck which made it even harder to play decently. I decided it was better to take it apart and use the pieces for other decks rather than trying to salvage the deck.

I keep most of my decks in these Ultra Pro 150 Count Clear Card Storage Boxes on a bookcase-like storage unit. I can see all of my decks and just grab the ones I want to play and throw them in my Stanley Organizer to take to game night. I've also been experimenting with other deck transportation methods to take less decks to game night since I typically only play 3 or 4 decks in one night.

I typically get to play anywhere from 1 to 4 decks per week, and I got to play 12 of my decks that I brought to Magic Fest Las Vegas. I like keeping the decks together as I feel like they're never actually done being built. I can always find ways to make tweaks to them. I also like keeping my decks together as when I play them they bring back memories of the good times I've had playing with friends and the nostalgia of playing the various commanders.

I use these and they're super cheap. This might not be the best place to buy them. A card shop near me sells them for 1.50. They are 150 count but perfect with sleeves.

One thing I don't think I've seen u/ProfessorSTAFF cover is the clear Ultra Pro boxes as Commander deck boxes. I've got all my commander decks in these and they fit single-sleeved EDH decks just fine, and you can put your commander out front for display or easy recognition. Now, they obviously don't fit the oversized commanders from precons, but the regular versions work just fine. My only complaint is that I can't squeeze a toploader into the box, but that's true of most deck boxes.

I also have a canvas tool bag that I carry a bunch of stuff in for bringing it to second locations.

Last time I travelled with games I bought some of the ultrapro hard plastic deck boxes and a hard plastic project case. Games like Splendor can fit in a deck box. Games with boards / bigger components fit in a mix of deck box and in the project case.

I think I brought 10 or so games with me in 1 project case and 4 or so deck boxes and the hard plastic kept everything safe even in a checked bag.

Search.

This thread has someone saying they use the 150-count boxes for EDH decks. Also the Amazon page for the 150 count box has questions about EDH decks.

If you google a bit I'm sure you can find people talking about them or at least find the measurements of the box.

They never break, are dirt cheap, and you can tell what deck it is at a glance.

Literally the only downside is that if you drop one half of the box, it’s loud as balls. But don’t drop them and you’re fine.

Actually I am almost done foiling out BW Edrazi & Taxes and started looking into this as well. I went with KMC Perfect Hard + Dragonshield Mattes, and just got the Perfect Hards a couple days ago and re-sleeved. To give you an idea of the thickness increase, prior to that I was using a Ultra Pro 2-Piece 150 Count Clear Card Storage Box for the double-sleeved deck, sleeved sideboard, and extra inner/outer sleeves. (FYI, I love this deck box and use them for all my other decks.) After going with the Hards, the 60 card deck fits fine in the storage box, but not the SB and extra sleeves. This is even after 24-hours of the sleeves sitting under some very heavy programming books. So yeah, that combo does add a good amount of thickness, but they do feel great when shuffling, and I like the added protection. Edit: I tested with Ultra Pro Eclipse and hated them, totally muted the foiling effect and didn't feel any better than DS mattes.


As for a new deck box, I just ordered a Ultra Pro Satin Tower Deck Box. I really hope it fits all the cards and the top doesn't open in my backpack.
