Yikes. I have about 70,000 cards. It's really hard for me to let go of them even when I know they're bad and I'll never use them. How many times does a card that's been worthless for 10+ years suddenly become amazing because of a newly printed card that combos with it? I got rid of a bunch of Rhystic Studies years ago thinking "Oh, they're commons, no one cares about these" and look what happened with that card.

I used to think there were bad cards but sometimes it is fun making those "bad cards" shine in ways that no one expects. I have a deck using banding. Yes, banding. It is quite powerful when it is used right. I hold on to all my cards because I will never know when they will come in handy.

@@reginaldfluffington5142 Usually downright bad or gimmick cards tend to be the strongest when you build them into a focused deck Example Phage, the Untouchable half of the deck involves playing the card from your command zone and living or cheating it into your hand with stuff such as Command Beacon or even putting it into the grave to get into your hand to play it. It sounds jank till you play it then you will be like "Why is this so strong and consistent?" Though one of my favorite ones to do is animate Battle of Wits into a enchantment creature so i can swing to win with a infinite attack/defense combo after cloning it. Then again i call those party decks just like my Mono White Door to Nothingness which is pretty strong and granted Kenrith is the commander as you need a 5c commander since door has all 5 symbols in its rules text and Kenrith because he is honestly cheaper than a Progenitus money wise which is surprising since he is a cEDH card I also have a Mono Green Maze's End deck but we don't talk about that as no one likes a turn 5 ramp deck and yes there are cards that ramp non basic lands into play. Anyways my point is Gimmick decks tend to be a bit on the strong side usually power level 8's sometimes low 9's just because they are so focused on a gimmick and Phage itself can be low 10's by accident just because of how much it takes to make that commander work just pushes it into that realm of power especially if you have a good bit of graveborn cards and platinum angel in the deck and there are a lot of cards that pull from the deck to put creatures into the grave so you can consistently get Platinum Angel out without worrying even if they counter spell as just play your other graveborn card There are also a good bit of black counter spells on a stick as in usually creatures that have a tap ability or mana cost to counter a spell such as Stromgald Cabal for example let's you counter target white spell. Dash Hopes is also good but it counters itself if anyone pays the 5 life and you also have enchantments that are a counter on a stick such as Deathgrip which let's you counter target green spell which in competitive is really good as everyone just about has green but one of the more funny ones is a World Enchantment Neither Void all spells are countered unless their casters pay an additional 3. and Thrull Wizard is there so you can counter your own commander and let it go into the grave so you can play something like a Gravepurge and get it into your hand then cast it from there and not loose to its ability The specific hate counter spells Black has is really great to have in the deck because in a pod of 4 people at least someone is going to have that color like it is a high chance and if played in competitive well the thoricle win line has black in it so Thrull Wizard has another use other than avoiding a death by Phage also if you really want something to not go through you can actually repeatedly activate Thrull Wizards ability onto the stack targeting that one spell so they have to pay a lot or get rid of Thrull Wizard

Funny you mention Rhystic Studies. My brother and a few of his friends bought a box of bulk cards some 10+ years ago that had multiple copies of Rhystic Studies so they each got at least a copy of it from that. One of them still runs in his commander decks Dream Halls, Opalescence, and Rhystic Studies, that he had gotten from that box of bulk.

I just want to throw out my organization method, cause I've found it really helpful for deck building for commander specifically. I use the cardboard boxes for cards, but instead of just having one long box for a color or card-type, I have smaller boxes that organize by function and playability in commander. For example, I have a box that contains all ramp and land-tutor spells, it has mana rocks, mana dorks, enchantments that ramp, etc. organized by color. The reason I like this system is because most of us try to have a certain number of ramp spells per deck, and we want those ramp spells to be synergistic with the deck. Having just ramp allows me to find what I'm looking for without looking at 300 unrelated cards while I find them. It just makes sense for the actual deck-building process. From that logic, I also organize creatures and spells from any particular color in a similar way. You don't need to keep your draft chaff blue-creatures in the same box as, let's say, an Archeomancer. As you are organizing you creatures, you ask yourself "could this card go in multiple different commander decks, or is it niche or somewhat unplayable?" An enfranchised player should mostly be able to tell the degree of playability, and then put your more playable, more "staple-y" cards in seperate boxes. This significantly helps the deck building process. That doesnt mean that you don't go looking through the box of more niche cards, you just do that at the more logical point in the deck building process, which is after you've put in the "core" or "foundational" pieces of your deck. Then, apply the same organization to lands, removal, card advantage or card draw, etc. depending on your brain works or how approach the deck-building process. Basically, organize in a manner that actually aligns with your deck building process, not just for the sake of organizing. I know alot of people who put their cards in organization, but spend the same amount of time shuffling through cards because they end up looking at the same amount of useless cards.

In a similar way I bought these wooden card drawers from MTechcave’s kickstarter and split cards by common commander themes. Ramp, rocks (by type like colorless,guild,tri, any color), recursion, sacrifice, different styles of draw ( loot,inspire,sac draw, pay life draw), types of bounce, and on and on. It took a few weekends to get it all sorted but man o man it’s now so easy to put everything away after opening boxes or packs.

What’s the best way? Sort by color first, then artifacts, basic lands, duel lands, commanders/planes walkers. I was going to do this with ascending mana cost. And then go even more by separating each colors creatures, removals/sorcery/instant and draw cards.
@moonom1

I was gifted a bulk collection of cards from ~2010-2015. It's pretty much just commons and uncommons, only a few foils. It really annoys me not knowing what card I have, even if it is just junk. That was my motivation to organize. They were originally all in bundle boxes. I got one of the "shoebox" bcw boxes and started filling it up. I take a bundle box, organize by WUBRG, artifact/colorless, multicolor, and nonbasic land. Next I alphabetize. Then I scan each card into an app so I have a list of what I own, and it's usually faster than typing it all in. I use delver lens which usually works great for me. I use note cards as dividers/labels so I know where everything is. And then I block out each box separately. I would say it takes me probably a good 4-5 hours to go through one bundle box, which holds about 500 cards. So it is extremely time consuming. Trying to organize that into set or have all the colors together would just take up far too much if I wanted to keep it alphabetical. But I find it fun and this way I am certain of everything I have. For my more current stuff, same organization and scanning as that bulk, but I do separate it by set and I keep it in the bundle box or a 550 BCW if I buy a booster box for the set. Then I have a binder for my standard rares/mythics and foils. I just put them in there bare, unless they are more than $5. It's a 3 ring binder with dragon shield 18 pocket pages. Those are also separated by set. For my nonstandard rares/foils/cards from the list that aren't from the bulk collection, I have a dragon shield portfolio that I have them in, just organized by color. I did not start really collecting until recently so I plan on getting a new binder, when standard rotates I'll move my old standard in there. I don't play standard but I like cracking packs, it's just an easy way to keep track of it.
@thebrunoserge
@thebrunoserge 2 года назад
OK so I seem to have a very very different method than EVERYONE else after years collecting and organizing cards not by set, but by function (especially good for casual format-agnostic quick deck building). I have a few binders with complete sets or just miscelaneous valuable cars (over $2) and I use the standard color/multi/colorless order everywhere - but that's where the similarities end! I have devised a way to split each color by their function. So no more "lands" or " artifacts" - just " mana sources" and " colorless creatures", " colorless permanents" etc . No more cards organized by collector's number - but I have dividers like Creatures, Creature Gains, Bounce, Counterspells, Draw, Damage, Removal, Discard, Graveyard, WU, WB, UB, Multi 3+ etc etc. Each color has its own makeup of function - clearly showing what each color does best according to the metagame, and also helping to build decks very quickly, agnostic to the sets the cards came in. My main " good stuff" box also has the best cards available for each (no Shocks, only Lightning bolts and comparable efficiency/card advantage). If you invite me I can talk about the methodology for at least 30 minutes!

I'm pretty new to magic overall, and brand new to paper Magic; I decided I need an organization system right from the start. I have decades of high-level filesystem organization with computers, and the thing I've taken from that, above all else, is to take the path of least resistance. I know that overcomplicating it means it'll never get done (for me personally). Boxes are quicker and easier than binders, so I'll go with boxes. Boxes that fit into other boxes are easier to wrangle than loose boxes, so I'll likely go with one of those 4x3 stacks. Playing commander, legendary creatures are of particular importance, so I'll likely break those out into their own section. I didn't know about WUBRG priority. That's huge. Hearing all the different methods was very helpful. I've got a plan now for what I think will be the best method for me. Thanks!

@dorsalfin22

I have a system very similar to Ashlen's. I organize by set for my rares/mythics in three ring binders. Super easy to add new sheets every time a set comes out and I have cards to put in from when I played during pre-release or pick up playsets of my favorite singles. All of my lands fit into an old deck builder's toolkit box, rares in the back, basics in front, common and uncommon non basics in the middle. My commons and un-commons are in my one and only deck box. A tiny ultimate guard 100 count box. I build commander decks so often that keeping up with bulk singles is just impossible. So I keep what I pull from playing limited in this box and then if I want to add commons or un-commons, I have to give up ones I already own. I only want to have to look at this box and my binders when seeing if I have any singles I need before buying a deck. A large box with 1000+ cards is just not something that would work for me. Since I have a very large deck collection (just got my 61st commander deck this week) I prioritize space for my decks, not singles. So all of my decks are organized by color identity in Stanley cases. pros: super cost effective and space efficient. I do not need a single deck box, since a Stanley case holds 12 decks. Whenever I want to go to an lgs, I just pull out the decks I want to bring and put them into an extra Stanley I have that is empty and custom build it for each trip I take. Cons: not very aesthetic since most of my bookshelf is covered in these toolboxes. Thinking of making a custom shelf so the Stanley boxes can be at angles and then you can see the commanders. That would be amazing! This system has been working great for me and I loved hearing how you guys sort your collections!

I custom-built a card catalog box that stores roughly 24k cards. i separated them alphabetically into 6 drawers with 3 rows each. It took roughly 160 hours and ended up with 20k bulk. Now i gotta wonder if it would have been better just by set and color lol. Great episode Jimmy and crew.

I've been playing MTG since 1995 and have stored my collection in random empty boxes, to binders, to 5000 ct boxes. As my collection has grown to over the years to include 40k+ cards, I have eventually settled into 24 1600 ct shoe boxes that are housed in four 6 slot BCW Shoe Houses. I have organized by set in chronological order. Then within the set organized them by rarity in descending order. Each rarity is organized in ascending collector number. Each box is labeled 1-24. I also have a spreadsheet for each set in MTG. I keep a count of every card that I have in each set. I also have an Box reference page that tells me what sets are in each box, so I can easily find the cards I want to pull. I typically only keep a full play set, unless is card that ends up in several decks. All my bulk cards and basic lands end up in a 1000 ct box to trading. These days I only play commander and house my decks in two Stanley10-Compartment Deep Pro Small Parts Organizer. These fit single sleeve 100 card decks perfectly.

I organise my cards into what sets they come from. I've got 4x boxes of 5000 storage and they're full; everything is nm+ but I wouldn't sell them because it's niche having cards in storage which could be put into a commander deck. I've got 4x folders based on staples; 1x folder for trades. Everything inside is worth something and it's relevant for different platforms such as pioneer, standard, historic and commander. So recently I've been storing the march of the machine cards. There's several sets based on them but I stick to the following. Artifacts Sorcery, colour sort for everything below et cetera Instant Enchantments Emblems Tokens Creatures-cplour code everything it's easier than numbering the sets. If I need a card for commander before I buy it online I can check online it's previous prints and I've probably got it within the boxes. Recently I found I have a bunch of "catastophe". 6x inside urza's saga and 4x inside battle Royale. Well that saved me £2.50 purchasing one. That's not much I know bit a commander deck is 100 cards; try constructing then from fresh every 3 months 😂

I used to have it all in one big, pink tub and it was really daunting to lug it out when building a deck. It also took up so much space! Finally got the organizer that the long white boxes slide into. Haven't put everything in there yet but it's already so much neater and easier to get to cards! Deck building is definitely my main priority so I have organized by color then name. Rares and mythics will be put in a 3 ring binder for easy access/trade. I'm also thinking of putting all legendary cards in there as well. Loved the episode!
@jonahwitte4506
@jonahwitte4506 2 года назад
One trick that I've found is a great way to level up your collection-organization is having a Type Four cube (it's a fun, quick, format that you can find rules for online, and it's really customizable). Mine is about 400 cards currently, mostly just rares and mythics that I'm not using in decks. In my opinion it solves one of the biggest problems in a lot of collections-what to do with all the janky rares that aren't playable in commander. You can do full, multiplayer games in only 10-15 minutes, so it's also a great way to showcase your collection; playing an actual game with the cards in your trade binder makes people go "woah, this card is sweet" a lot more than just seeing it in a toploader. I really recommend a Type Four cube to anyone who wishes the cards sitting around in their collection could still get some playing time in-it's been a huge hit in my playgroup and we've even started collectively picking up cards for the cube just to make it even more fun to play.

Great video and has inspired me to reorganize my collection. I have maintained a relatively small collection (in the lower end of the medium category ~3500 cards) my organization has been lax recently. I am going to try Jimmy’s method of keeping most cards not in a deck in binders plus trying out the online collection storage for easier search. One thing I love doing is having a small four pocket binder with just cards that are maybeboard for commander decks or selections like the attack focused package of my shapeshifter deck. This way I don’t need to go through the whole collection necessarily just to change things up in my decks!

Really cool post. I have a very Large collection all the way back to 1994 but with a gap from Scourge until Dominaria. This is my fourth system, designed for making 4-5 CMDR decks a week. I use boxes, but only the kind that store cards vertically. Each color has a box (the shoe-storage type, so 6.5" x 14", two rows) for creatures and a box for spells - no more than 3 copies except for massively used cards like Arcane Signet. All rare creatures are stored separately though. All Legendary Creatures are in binders by color. All Pre-cons are in their original boxes, but I do track on Excel when I remove a card from them. Finally, the MOST USED cards are simply stored out in the open in card sorting trays by color and rarity (Rare/others). I also store a copy of every CMDR deck that is currently active (i.e., not torn down) on Excel. So when I build a new deck, I can search excel for the card I'm looking for and find it either in an existing deck, in the MOST USED pile, or in the boxes. Time to build these decks has been reduced from 3-4 hours down to about 1 hour to design and pull. This works for me, but I'm always thinking about a better way.

I have a medium- large collection and I do a combination of different methods. I have 7 binders that are separated by WUBRG, multicolor, artifacts, lands and then a personal binder. The first 6 binders hold all of my rare/mythic cards or cards worth over $2 and those are spererated with color coordinated binders with artifacts and lands in the back part of 2. I even have a whole section of 1 binder dedicated to the commander legends Commander's to make brewing a new deck easy. It also makes it really easy to take to my LGS and trade cards with other players. My personal binder is all of my commander staples, and cards that I dont want to trade. I have a 5 row box and 4 row box that hold all of my bulk for each color, multicolor, artifacts, non basic lands, and basic lands. Those rows of colors are organized by Enchantment, sorcery, instant, artifact, and creatures. I also have every card scanned into an app for easy searching and price checking!

1 4-row suitcase for each color, 1 2-row box for artifacts, 1 2-row box for multicolored, 1 2-row box for nonbasic lands, 3 1-row boxes for basic lands, 1 2 inch binder for trading: rares and mythical and planeswalkers, 1 2 inch binder for tokens, and 2 2-row boxes for cards to refile. Been playing off and on since 4th edition. Oh, and 2 underbed plastic rolling costs for the deck boxes for EDH and pauper EDH and regular pauper decks, plus a handful of decks in other formats.

I have a multi tier organization. I have my big white cardboard boxes of common and uncommon. Organized those by color and the card type. So creature, sorcery, instant etc. Then I have binders. I have my binders by color for $2 to $5 rare/mythic. Then the $5 plus binder. And one nicer deck box for all the rare/mythic bulk, sectioned by colors. It really does help for building and trades depending on what people want to look at.
@Deathscythe92
@Deathscythe92 2 года назад
I have one of those giant collections, about 50-60k cards. I use the 5-row box like Arthur uses, but 4 of them. The bulk common and uncommon cards are sorted by set-chronologically (so Scars of Mirrodin, then Mirrodin Besieged, etc.). Each set is sorted by type/color (Artifacts/Black/Blue/etc.), and then each card in each color is sorted alphabetically. This allows me to just add new rows and boxes as new sets come out without messing with the older ones. Lands, $1 rares, and foils are stored in individual 1k count boxes. I've bought a card house to store those. My expensive/showcase cards are in UltraPro binders. The binders are sorted by set chronologically and by color in each set. I'm sure this sounds a little insane lol, but I just did it while binging Fringe (incredible show btw) about 7 or 8 years ago. Now if I own a card (or am not sure) it takes me less than 30 seconds as long as I know the set, color, and name. Makes it all worth it.

@xpeterx
@xpeterx Год назад
I have had so many ways of organizing over the years and i think i finally set on one (or rather two) i will keep using. My main one would be the same as Shauna's, where i organize by set and collectornumber in binders. It is a huge amount of work and starting cost, but i think it's the easiest to find anything. especially if you have a digital database of what you have (i use decked builder for my collection database). So i put one of each into those binders (+1 foil if i have one). i figured for commander, i won't need playsets, so the one card per binder is optimal for me. BUT, i also want to have the playsets in case i want to play another format. so i collect up to a playset (+1foil if i have one) in total over the whole collection. the other three cards that are not in the binders, go in the 5000s boxes and get stored like that. over all, visually i am very much in favor of my new binder system, with labels on the sides for easy access. i am using gamegenic playset binders that take 4x3 pages, so i get 24 cards per double page. for most older sets that comes to about 6-7 sets per binder. for the new ones with all the variants probably around 4 sets per binder. i have sorted them up to dominaria and have the last 5 years still to go, but so far i am very happy with all this.

Thank you for sharing this! I am wanting to downsize my collection, and my priorities are shifting and this gave me a lot of good ideas to work off of. The big take away I got is separate the playable cards from bulk, and I will donate the bulk to my LGS. I feel a lot of players will want to prioritize their collection for deck brewing, and that is not where I am at - I am looking to maintain the decks I have and just tinkering there. So my 5 Row BCW will be divided by playable cards for each deck, and have a slot for playable cards that could go into multiple decks. I already have a separate box for trades that I need to update. The only thing I have in binders - I am working on collecting every card in each Ravnica set, so that is its own system, and have one binder for alters / signed cards / cards that have sentimental value.

I'm on board with Damen Lenz' method, I have two 3×4 boxes identical to his (I got mine for about $36 CAD each sometime last year) and I also use Manabox - I cannot overstate how great of an app it is! My main difference is that rather than sorting by creatures and then everything else, I have everything organized by WUBRG, colourless, and multicoloured. Since I have the two 3x4's, I've stacked them and have seperated the uncommon's and common's into the bottom 3x4 and the mythics and rares in the top and then I am in the process of alphabetizing the cards in their respective boxes. Since there are twelve long boxes per 3x4, my commons and uncommons take up two boxes together per colour and then a box each for colourless and multicoloured. I keep my lands in the top 3x4 because there is more space :) I hopes this helps anyone who is interested in giving the 3x4's a try 👌

Thanks for the insights, great video! My way to go is: by color identity, and then mana value, and then rarity, and then creatures / sorceries / instants / enchantments / artifacts / planeswalkers. In that way it can grow limitless. And this system is duplicated by staples and then bulk. So I always check first staples this way and if it's not there, go to the bulk. It can grow easy and finding cards is easy as well. Though I only use cardboxes, but I'm looking forward for getting binders!

[Works for Small Collection Only] As a player who played Magic from 2006, I'm one of the few who managed to keep a relatively small collection. I always buy singles and have not purchased a single booster pack for the past 7 years. I play EDH format exclusively now and have built >20 commanders with only 800 of the same colored sleeves. I only need to carry about 200-300 cards to LGS every time and I can play with up to 4 / 5 different commanders that I bring to an LGS at the time, switching cards especially mana rocks and fetches is very quick because they are in the same sleeves. PROS: 1. You only need to own 1 copy of everything. 2. You can potentially keep small collection if that's what you want, I don't like to collect more than I like to play with them. 3. Easy to bring, easy to organize, easy to trade. 4. Technically you only need deck boxes / fatpacks! (I have 1 binder and it's never been full my entire life) CONS: 1. It's aestethically boring because you are locked to the same sleeve forever (it's not a con for me because I don't really care about this but lots of people like Jimmy and Ladee Danger care about aestethics. I already chose my favorite color from the beginning.) 2. It's challenging to expand your collection 3. It requires dilligence to sell / trade cards you don't need / don't play anymore. However, this is a PLUS if you ask me because it's financially beneficial and I don't need to keep cards that I don't use because I don't collect.
@plain6677
@plain6677 2 года назад
Yes! I’d add, as a player with 20 decks and 25 years into the game: 1. If you play sealed or draft, just give away or throw away the useless cards. You know the ones you will never use. 2. As you mentioned I also never buy any booster, except in some rare occasions some collector boosters since they tend to have more playable cards. 3. Trade all the cards you don’t like. For example I know I’d never play Rhystic Study as I hate this card and my assumption will not change in the future. So easy $30 there. 4. The main pro is you do save thousands of dollars in singles, especially storages/deck boxes, and you keep a small manageable collection. I spend less than $50 per month and play all the strategies I want at all the power levels. 5. One last thing not linked to management is, in 25 years, I never bought cards worth more than $20. All the chased cards - well 99.9% of them - dropped to this price once in a while. Mana Vault was $5 for a while, Ancient Tomb $20, Snapcaster $20, Yawgmoth’s Will $20-$40, several times in their history. The best example is Zacama: I waited 4 years to buy it but can finally spend only $10.

Some great points to consider (consider this as tips): You can make special sorts at the same time you do any sort. I have 3 piles distinct from the other that are just for Mana Rocks, Ramps, and Counter (because you don't need to put them together with other cards if you want a ramp, you WILL go for a ramp Same for rocks and counters). another tip: for lands, you can sort them by color generate, and if enters tapped or not(or not in most of the time)

I try to keep it simple. First colors > Type (Enchament, Artifact etc.,) > Rarity. Sort alphabetically (don’t bother with anything past first letter or you will go nuts) and put Mythic / Rare in binders, with Uncommon / Common in boxes with tabs. Also, Amazon has cheap card sorting trays, normally display trays, and makes sorting so much easier etc., I also love using binders that allow me to add pages. This way if you need to slot in another page in a section due to more cards it is quick and easy. Oh, last tip, leave some spacing in your binders, I usually leave one empty space between letters. So far it works well for me :)

I have multiple systems for organizing, because I approach the game from several angles. My sealed products are stacked by set on shelves. My reserve list/old cards are in those 9 card/page binders, also by set. Mythic/Rare/Uncommons are in 1.5 in. binders that I can add pages to. Sorted by color and alphabetized. Commons are in those long boxes, sorted by set and color. Works for me, but requires a fair amount of upkeep as my collection grows all the time.

Taking a page from deck building guides for any format, but Commander in particular, I like having my binders arranged by category and then by Mana color for each: Commanders Auto-Includes (Command Tower; Arcane Signet…) Big Threats / Wincons Ramp Card Draw Board Wipes Spot Removal Instant-Speed Spot Removal Utility Makes building and taking apart decks super easy for any format. Any cards that care about types like Enchantments go in a Synergy category. Any category can include any card type as long as it fits. Finding the right mana rock or best board wipe for a given Commander is super easy and helps with a good distribution of cards as I’m building. Cons: time and binder space (tried boxes but considering the time to leaf through 100s of cards each build OR visually see what is available when the urge strikes it was an easy switch)

I used to buy Dragon Shield boxes; both commander deckboxes and the longer boxes, to store decks and my collection in, respectively. I've played the last 5-7 years-ish (it depends on whether we're talking first draft or when I built my first deck). Over time, I've filled a lot of boxes. They've even stopped selling both of these things at my LGS. Doesn't help that I got a bunch of draft chaff at my LGS a long time ago and haven't gotten rid of it... and got my friends' bulk cards maybe a year ago. I'll get around to finally organizing things again as soon as I get to the summer. Having a system definitely helps. As a programmer, I know that's something clever people have also figured out there. I can't really apply all of that to how I store Magic cards, but it's not for nothing. Personally, I'd love to use binders for the cards I care more about, and I'd keep the rest of the collection in plastic boxes. I've never been a huge fan of bulky cardboard boxes. A binder for everything that can be a commander would be nice, seeing as I often feel like brewing a new deck. One way I hope to sate my desire to brew and build, but also not spend much more money impulsively (and perhaps cut down on the bulk I keep), is to try and force myself to build what I dub 'bulk budget' decks. I like the idea of keeping playsets of things. I like the idea of having EDH decks I'd be willing to lend out. I feel like Magic keeps getting more and more expensive. Why not combine all of these things and try to really use my noggin, building decks that are cheap and limited on purpose? This way I'll get a break from staples, and I'll get to build more decks for free! Worst case scenario I'll just toss a lot of cards out and free up a lot of space.

I can tell you the top rows of the narrow Ikea Alex drawers can hold double sleeved cards upright. Four rows, no clue how deep you can go and you probably want some cardboard or something, at least in front and back, but seperating the rows is also a great idea. It's a great way to store a bit of cards. For when you know, go in and out of the deck before / after a tournament.
@cardsinthemail
@cardsinthemail 2 года назад
ah, the episode I've been waiting for. this is the answer to every time I sent in a 'question time'. I did reach a breaking point in my organization and had to solve it about a year ago. My collection is large (very, lgs size big, 35k). I have a few favored planes (Mirroden, Innistrad) so those sets I keep in display organized binders. The rest (carefully chosen bulk all the way to original duals) is in 4 slot boxes ordered by year/quarter (I wanted no categories for organizations that could change or expand infinitely, so not by type, value, rarity, etc. only concrete categories, printing date and color id). Each box is it's own color or coloring pairing by color identity (means lands are scattered throughout the system due to identity). However within each box, so section of cards is bigger then about 150 cards, so speed to find any one card is about a minute and speed to put away any one card is about 1 minute since everything is a small unorganized bucket category. This is great for storing and pulling cards, but not really for brewing. The sheer size of the collection means it just takes forever to 'browse' for cards. It is fully inventoried in Archidect and when brewing with there deck builder, it checks my inventory for me so I know right away if a card is available. then with the organization, I can pull all the cards for a deck in about an hour.

All my MTG friends will gather and build EDH decks from these extra cards as well as being allowed to bring any cards from their own collection to build the best deck possible. (With a grand prize Jace, the Mind Sculptor to incentivize the best builds.) Once our fun is finished, EVERY deck played gets donated to our local library where they teach kids to play and give new players these decks! To make this easier, I am sorting each set by card number in two of the long 1000 card boxes. My playsets and the extras. This will make for a great time, a good cause and easy access to all my cards when I need to find one.

Group by color, loose-type (instant and sorcery together), sorted by mana value in three types of places: bulk, edh playable, rares. I can usually find things pretty quick except when I don't organize new stuff quickly.

It's nice to know at least 1 other person collects and tracks the same as I do! Ashlen, it just makes the most sense to do it like that!!

Ladee is the closest one to my system. For the sets that I have bought a lot of cards for, I use binders and sort by collector number. Each binder has a nice label that I made by scanning artwork from that set. Then I have boxes for commons and uncommons, as well as some larger boxes for cards from assorted sets. Those I sort by color and name.

I bought a large rolling tool box for mine. Each color has a drawer so does artifacts, multi-colour, basic land, and non basic land. Each drawer is large enough to have multiple rows of cards. The rows are separated by creature, instant, sorcery, and enchantments. Each row is also sorted alphabetically. The top flips open and I keep my binders of rare/commander useful cards. The largest bottom drawer holds all of my decks. And a couple misc drawers for the unsorted cards and protectors/dice etc. It was a decently expensive way to sort my cards but I can literally roll it up to my table to brew and roll it back to a corner when I’m done.

I have two wider D-ring-binders in black with the Magic-Logo on the front. You might still be able to get them. In those, I have a 100-pack of Ultra Pro binder pages, approximately 50 pages each. Cards are sorted by colour and type. If I run out of space, I sort out cards. My decks are in boulders and arkhives. Organized, compact, pretty. :D

I recently started tring to figure this out for myself, I have a couple binders and found I didn't like them so now I'm designing a little card catalogue box that's gonna fit snugly in a Kallax Ikea box!

I really liked the sound Damen's method. Compared to my friends I've been playing the shortest amount of time and all of them have more substantial collections than me. Because of that I don't really have any trades that they need for now at least. I think this will really help me organize my bulk and set myself up for my growing collection as I mostly focus on brewing and not trading.
