This channel needs more cats freaking out.
I have no idea how this ended in my recommended feed, since I haven't played physical TCGs since the early 2000s, but this feels nostalgic to look at. Also, that is a surprisingly practical looking deck box. Back in the day I just used a small metal cookiebox. :D
I had a similar experience nine years ago that got me back into MTG. At the time my two year old son watched TH-cam on my iPad Mini. He had fallen asleep, so I retrieved the iPad to plug it in to charge. In the right hand side was a recommendation for a video from Open Boosters. I watched it and was instantly hooked again. I too hadn’t played any TCG since about 2002/2003
"I've bent a Mox Opal"
Yeah, right I bet he just nicked the edge of the slee-BY THE GODS MAN WHAT HAS HAPPENED???
Lmao yeah I died a little inside when I saw that, but what better way to make the point about other deck boxes, right? (and my own negligence for putting a 100 card double sleeved in a 100 card box)
@@KiraMTG not your fault cause gamegenic does say on all their deck boxes that fit double sleeved decks of x amount of cards
I was able to fit two double sleeved EDH decks in here pretty comfortably where the second deck is split between the main compartment and in one of the drawers. The other drawer is for tokens and the top compartment is for dice and other small stuff. I agree with it being the "utility" deck box, really love how I now only have one box with all that I need in it instead of having one for cards and other, smaller ones for tokens, dice and other accessories.
I like the box a lot. The main deck space with the divider can easily hold 1 doubled sleeved commander deck plus extra cards or 2 double sleeved 60 card decks, tokens and sideboards can fit nicely in the two drawers, accordingly for each deck, and dice can go in the top open tray. I am currently using it for one of my commander decks while I am traveling and it is sturdy and didn’t have any issues in my bag. All magnets held well and secure. Definitely recommend if you are in the market for a new deck box. I would not recommend using other deck boxes with it as it isn’t necessary, though you definitely could if you are going the 2 x 60 card deck route.
Picked up the Academic deck box on Friday. It's by far my favorite box
I use 2 of this to store my main decks:
1 contains my Modern Affinity+modifications to transform it in a Legacy, Vintage, Pioneer and Pauper deck, plus tokens, all cards single sleeved (near 300 cards between the different spaces) + 2 d20 and a dozen of d6.
1 contains my Modern Burn+modifications to transform it in a Legacy, Vintage, Pioneer and Pauper deck, plus a few tokens, all cards double sleeved (near 230 cards between the different spaces) +2 d20 and a dozen of d6.
I bought them via Kickstarter when The Prof launched his campaign to build The Academic 133+.
I'm actually going to purchase a third one to settle my Infect deck, built in a similar way to the other 2 decks I list before.
Quitting paper Magic was the best decision I ever made. It's just too expensive to keep up with. That aside, that case is pretty cool.
Thinking about selling out myself as well, do you miss it at all? I’m worried I’ll end up regretting it
@@Turn2Ugin Nah, but if you're a Commander player who likes going to FNM, you might miss it. I was mostly a limited/standard player. I can do that on Arena now.
@@everwake2689 if you are a commander player and have a playgroup of friends you can literally just proxy
Standard is a vampire but non rotating formats probably come out cheaper than arena lmao
Could just proxy. I proxy 99% of the cards I play with and no one seems to mind at my LGS. Also tbh the card quality is often better than the real cards with how pringled my foils always were.
I hope Game Genic makes a 100 card friendly version of their Star Wars Unlimited deck pod/double deck pods. They are really nice. Especially for commander.
I have the Kickstarter version. I fit 2 commander decks in the main area, single sleeved. Then I can fit a third deck in the drawers, with tokens for the deck. I can fit a marker, a small d20, and a good sized pile of d6 and infna-tokens. I am impressed with how much it holds.
The side draws hold about 40 cards single sleeved. Which for MTG is great for tokens. Flesh and Blood TCG has Blitz decks (40 cards) and Ultimate Pit Fit (UPF, 40 cards) that can fit in those draws really well. Their standard Classic Constructed deck size is 80 total cards. Box overall is amazing for multiple TCG games.
I use a box inside the academic. Against the boxes I use I keep infitokens to fill up the space. Have a couple life trackers in the top, dice in one compartment, random color gems in the other to represent certain conditions.
The drawers go in and out smoother after a while.
I got one on kickstarter, it is a nice box.
But the trays could probably fit ur modern or standard decks so u have all 3 types for any scenario
Damn, my favorite Earth 2 content creator also plays magic?
The problem I have with this is the small compartments say they can hold 52 sleeved deck but you have to push it down. Then when you slide it in the deck will expand. When you pull it out again a card can get caught.... and damage it
Personally I've been using main compartment for 1 full double sleeved deck, then splitting a 2nd deck into 3 parts(double sleeved) in the top and 2 compartments and no issues. I know I could fit it much easier just dividing the deck across the main compartment since there's so much space, but so far I've not had any issues with cards being caught etc.
the small compartments were made specifically with tokens and dice in mind and not main deck, if you wanna have multiple decks even double sleeved academic has a 233 version with two big main compatments with dice and token trays betweeen them
I have to say NO because I’ve bought 3 and they have a manufacturing issue. Warped in the middle, can’t really access it one handed. The trays are hard to get in and out. The top tray doesn’t fit the new chunky mtg spindowns. It can only fit one commander deck and not two but single sleeved there’s so much space where the cards still flop around.
I don't do these kinda card games but I have to say - if this product is relatively new, how has it taken this long for someone to make a proper one?
The professor of Tolaran community College does and has done tons of product reviews. Many of the deck boxes would pass but he had a gripe of some kind. So gamegenic asked him how he would design a deck box. So he started a kick starter and this is the final product. I have one from the kickstarter the deck box is fantastic.
There's a ton of boxes, and many of them do a great job. But there hasn't really been a lot of people thinking about "innovating" a deck box that holds cards. Having someone come in with fresh ideas after having hands on with basically every variant out there is just what it takes for a little push.
I just got one for my primary cEDH.
Your cat was kind enough to face away from the camera before cleaning the unmentionables....
rare
That mox opal hurts my soul, given i still dont have one
Can this deck box hold 250 double sleeved cards using the trays as well?
Quality was a notch worse than the ones i got off the kickstarter. Nothing that turns it into a pass but its noticeable.
Noticed this, too. Still love the Golgari colorway, but was bummed at the quality slip.
That's unfortunate to hear, but makes sense when you scale up production and keep a competitive price. I imagine distribution eats up a lot of the cost when you're selling world wide.
Really neat design honestly.
RIP Mox Opal :(
My god that bent Mox Opal is just… tragic.
How does bending that mox opal not hurt your soul
I hide the pain well. But the eyes, they tell the real story.
You said it only fits single sleeve tried to fit double sleeve, then said your friend was right and it can’t fit 2 decks🤨🤨 something I thought was weird
The prof oh boy 😅 quick summary: his merch department didn't do too bad on this. Nothing special imo
Cats are jealous of the box.
Do a lot of people double sleeve?
Depends, but in my experience yeah. Single sleeve for precons, double for any deck that has expensive cards. When you consider a deck is 100 cards and you can't pick and choose which to double sleeve, there's low chances you'll have a deck with 100 single cards that you don't want any of them to be double protected.
@KiraMTG dang I don't know how I would shuffle 100 card double sleeved. I sound like a rake shaking old timer but I could barely manage to shuffle 60 single sleeved. 😅
MSRP
EUR 49,99
UHFFF
:(
WTF? Is this the same guy from Kira TV?
Yes
It's fine, double-sleeving is kinda overated tbh.
No it is not a good product I own the Kickstarter and it's just not worth it. Weird sizes and doesn't work for what you would want.
I have two from the Kickstarter and they are great. It all comes down what you are using it for. I like using one for limited. Plenty of space for tokens and dice, with the main compartment for the deck and sideboard.
