The Professor from Tolarian Community College is a very well known figure in the Trading Card Game space. With years of reviewing deckboxes himself, he finally went out and made his own. So in this video, I'm taking a look at the Academic, and seeing whether it fits Flesh and Blood players' needs.

Great video. I, too, love my academic cause like you said it fits toploaders - but it also fits magnetic cases well too. That nigh on a decade of experience definitely shines through with this box.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

It's genuinely an incredibly box. I am very happy I purchased them!

@atalhlla Год назад

I was more nervous that the amethyst spindown would crack than anything.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

It's still intact. I hadn't even considered that tbh

@atalhlla Год назад

that’s very good to hear, those spindowns are beautiful

@ThePlagueHive Год назад

The ability to hold toploaders and 35px magnetic cases is pretty nifty. I use mini snaps which fit into a twin flip&tray perfectly, but any hard case other than those won't fit in there, so having a box that's expressly designed with these in place is nice

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I used minisnaps for awhile as well in my Flip n Tray but they kept coming loose and opening. The space in the Academic is a huge gamechanger

@ThePlagueHive Год назад

@@Sloopdoop Yeah they're definitely not super sturdy. I'm not a big fan of Toploaders as they look kinda ugly in my opinion, but being able to use magnetic cases would definitely be an upgrade. Will be getting an Academic as soon as they're available to the general public

@mtg-jk8314 Год назад

I love this box. The main compartment holds two of my CC decks. One small compartment is for my Kassai deck. And the other one is for the Sideboard of my CC-decks. And on top are also my dice. This box slaps!

@Sloopdoop Год назад

It's genuinely incredibly impressive

@madifz Год назад

I love the academic. I can fit 2 CC decks with sideboards in the mini trays. I’ve also had second configuration where I fit 1 CC deck in the main tray and 2 blitz/commoner decks in mini trays. It’s perfect for my FAB needs.

@spencerwalthall7955 Год назад

Unexpected content that I really enjoyed! Sometimes these card game “life style” videos are a good break from the grind of FaB as a whole.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

That's one of the things I want to offer. I'm not big into competitive play so I needed to find my niche

@Mets1661 Год назад

Already using mine for a month or so. Its very flexible box and as a FAB player i love some space for toploaders.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

Definitely a huge plus for a lot of players

@AdeusG Год назад

Great coverage and vid man. Thanks!

@Sloopdoop Год назад

Glad you liked it!

@brodykennison2140 5 месяцев назад

Great review didn't think I would like doing that with my tokens but it worked really well

@PhilthyPenguin Год назад

I use these for my FaB decks. for the trays i use one for dice and one for the cards that i used in the blitz version of the CC deck i keep in the main compartment. for the top dice tray i leave it empty because i can pull out the dice tray from below and it fits perfectly in that section then i can put the tray back when i am done and it protects the dice from going everywhere if the lid were to come off.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I really do love the versatility of it all

@lukebobb Год назад

fantastic video man

@Sloopdoop Год назад

Thank you very much

@aungthuhein5418 Год назад

I definitely have plan to buy it and I am sure it will be good for my decks.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

Too bad it's not coming out this year though. Hopefully early next year!

@supermarioblacktiger Год назад

My only regret with this box was not getting a KS exlusive version. I just got the regular black/purple. Great box. I will get the non acadmic version when it comes out, especially if it's in orange.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I really love the red/grey, although I wish there was a red/white version. THAT would have looked amazing with the golden Prof logo

@SamuelGrahamDoesTCGs Год назад

It's a truly great box. Nice review!

@Sloopdoop Год назад

Thank you!

@nicholaslee4278 Год назад

Please do more FaB specific deckbox reviews! FaB had unique deck sizes compared to mtg and i find that most boxes are too big or too small for my double sleeved blitz/cc decks or dont fit my single legendary in its up minisnap!

@Bumbum_Inspector Год назад

Honestly, you can still use the standard deck boxes. For CC, I prefer the Gamegenic Stronghold 200+ and I just fill the gap a bit with double sleeved token or equipment cards so it's closer to a 100 card commander deck size. Same thing with blitz decks, just obviously a deckbox that goes down to 60 card size, and just fill the gap a little with spare equipment or token cards.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I might if something really catches my attention that seems really good for FaB. Other products as well. But I want to stick to stuff I think is worth reviewing so it will be rare

Does it hold a flesh and blood deck with The dragon shield Over sleeves??? Trying to find a deck box for my art sleeves with outers to protect them

Dude, you’re awesome. Prof will always be the man! I love that you’re the “prof” for FAB but give all the credit due to prof. I’d love to see you two pair up for a FAB game.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I'd love to play a game of FaB against Prof! I've watched his stuff since his early days so he's definitely been a huge influence for me

Omg I'm one of those who once forgot their Snapdragon Scalers at home 😂 anyway, love the review

@Sloopdoop Год назад

I do it all the time too, my friend

@Bumbum_Inspector Год назад

This looks really good honestly. I typically use the Gamegenic Stronghold 200+ for FaB and MTG Commander since the decks go in sideways and stay flat and I can fill in the gaps for FaB with double sleeved tokens or equipment. I'm not a huge fan of the flip n tray because I find them very tight for double sleeved decks and the front and back cards kind of bend a bit as the bottom half is super tight and the top fans out since nothing is keeping the entire deck flat.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

If you want versatility and a nice amount of space I cannot recommend the Academic enough

@madscientist2621 11 месяцев назад

I will never understand why you would buy a deck box just to put another deck box in it.

@nbyimprtntlol 3 месяца назад

I can understand what you mean, but I like to put a deck box in there that I can just take and play directly from as if it were my library in mtg, while keeping any spare cards, tokens, and counters in the other compartments of the academic. Some deck boxes’ tops neatly flip over to prop them up at an angle, which is comfortable to draw from. Not a way of playing that a lot of people use or are even aware of, but the fact that the academic was seemingly designed with this niche of storing a “playing deck box” in a “ carrying deck box” in mind is very impressive.

@huemungus5535 Год назад

@PeebsAndBoogie Год назад

That's cool. Too bad you can't actually buy them unless you're willing to spend 4x the kickstarter price for one second-hand.

@Sloopdoop Год назад

They will be coming to retail next year which is why I reviewed them

@sirlionheart4614 Год назад

I'm the opposite. I feel like they should remain 100% execlusive. You should of backed it, you legit had plenty of time. But leave it to the professor to not what anything to have rarity and exclusiveity. What a joke

@DanieleFrizzi Год назад

@@sirlionheart4614 I’m sure the Professor is exactly the person that would not share this opinion. “Here is my dream deck box, you can’t have it!”. Also, if you wanted exclusivity you had access to clearly marked kickstarter exclusive colours.

@snakeman830 Год назад

@@sirlionheart4614 Prof has always wanted games to be accessible for everyone and that includes peripherals like deckboxes to protect investments. Besides, if you want rare and exclusive, I got the very last of the hand-signed Academics sitting on the shelf right next to me. There were those options.

@sirlionheart4614 Год назад

Agree to disagree. this is my opinion; never stated it as fact. just dont appreciate the prof passively "lying" to us is all. "yeah at the point i have no plans of bringing the academic to retail; too much of a logistical nightmare; if gamegenic wants to then i guess; blah blah blah" just saying he absolutely 100% knew that this was gonna be going retail. he just happened to wait until the KS was like 90% done and shipped. He could of just a easily just partnered with gamegenic bringing it to retail instead of saying "this has to be crowd funded via the "community" via KS". Oh, man thank you so much to my backers this would of never of been possible - YEAH OK. He knew. thats why he went KS and whiped his hands of it and passed the rights to gamegenic. /shrug never again with tcc
