It's been a while since I have talked in detail about what I think about the Ultimate Guard Boulder. I thought this would be a good time for us to have a chat about them. NOTE: I did not cover the Boulder n Tray in this video because I've talked about it at length before in other videos, and I was only focusing on basic boulders. Links to my Boulder n Tray videos below.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT recommend throwing your boulders at walls, dropping them, standing on them, etc.

Thanks for watching! And be sure to check out the affiliate links if you want to pick any of these up! Also, I did not include the Boulder 'n' Tray in this line up because I was forcusing on the basic box in this video. No frills for me! But I have a video on that linked in the description! ALSO: I do not recommend throwing your Boulders at walls, standing on them, dropping them, on purpose.

I'm not a huge fan of the return to earth boulder, while I've certainly been a sucker for "made from recycled plastics" shtick from growing up in the 90s, the return to earth boulders curve a bit towards the inside on the sides. It's not really a big issue, doesn't effect the cards since the deckbox is wide enough, but it's a mild nitpick to note at least.

@RexlonXD 4 месяца назад

I just wish they would release more transparent color options, or more finishes in the boulder.

@TremorChrist311 4 месяца назад

Take some rubbing alcohol and an old sock to them to get the rubber stuff off and they get pretty transparent. I do this when the rubber starts getting sticky over time.

Boulder 100+ Double Sleeving: I use UltraPRO Eclipse with KMC Perfect Fit and have room for 10 tokens bundled in a penny sleeve just fine.

@nosrin1988 4 месяца назад

I was waiting for you to mention the cracking on the 60! About time! XD So ya, I had that issue with like, 7 of them or so, that I bought all around the same time. The first one I bought, which was also black, looks just like the one you should lol. My Solution was to file down the nub that catches so hard, on each and every one of them, and that seemed to do the trick. The annoying thing is it gets that stress crack the moment you open it! Since then, I have bought ONE more, and that one did Not have the issue, so I'm hopeful in thinking, that yes, they did fix it! So whoever out there is interested, they're great, but be aware of this issue!

@FDSMTG 4 месяца назад

Told you I would get there! Took me a bit, I'll admit. I'm just happy they fixed it.

@nosrin1988 4 месяца назад

ha ha ya you did! and ya, I have a lot of them sitting empty right now so im not in a rush to buy more but I'm VERY glad the issue was resolved!@@FDSMTG

Great breakdown on the Boulders, they are also my favorite deckbox. One question I have is how many tokens are you able to fit (sleeved) in a 100+ when using DS mattes and KMC inners? My problem is I use DS mattes and DS inners and I can’t quite fit an entire commander deck in a 100+, let alone tokens. I don’t quite understand the 133+, I really wish they would’ve released a revised 100+ with just a tad more room, something to compete with the new bastion 100+. I’m honestly not a fan of the bastion, they look and feel a bit cheap in comparison to the boulder imo. Although they do fit 100+ doublesleeved cards with room for tokens and more. Hoping Ultimate Guard releases a revised 100+ soon, perhaps call it a 115+ to convolute their lineup just a tad more, lol. That being said they’d probably have to release a revised arkhive and such and maybe that’s why they haven’t.

Great review. Should have hucked an empty return to earth 60 or 80 at the ground to see if they would break I use boulders for my Netrunner decks (which don’t have sideboards) I usually get boulder+trays for the versatility since they don’t cost too much more

@dangusmedia 4 месяца назад

I wonder if the blue one cracked because of the biodegradable material. I'm guessing there was some durability sacrificed for the material change.

@plove7 4 месяца назад

hey FDS at 12:30 you show that the cards fit completely flat and I'm now wondering if cards with the Dragon Shield Outer Sleeves would fit sideways into the 133+ boulder and if so wheres the limit?

@americanxlove 4 месяца назад

You can fit a commander deck in the 100+ with Dragonshield sleeves with Dragon Shield Perfect Fit inners… …but, it’s a real “kinda just cram it in there” situation the first time. There’s a ton of air when you first double sleeve, and the box will compress things down and I ended up preferring the feel after the air got out of the deck a bit more. However, the first attempt was excruciating.

@FDSMTG 4 месяца назад

I think you're right and folks just give up after the first attempt. It's still a bit tight for my taste. KMC perfect fits give just enough extra room that I prefer. But I've had a ton of folks tell me point blank that 100 double sleeved cards do not fit in a boulder, so I felt the need to mention and show that it is possible.

@billable1861 4 месяца назад

I love the 100+ with the bottom for dice. Unlike the satin towers from ultra pro they actually fit the new bloated d20 spin downs from MTG.

@FDSMTG 4 месяца назад

The Boulder 'n' Tray is awesome. I love those too!

@billable1861 4 месяца назад

@@FDSMTG ah yes the name escaped me. I was surprised I didn’t hear you mention that option. I wish they came out with more colors for it there’s only like 5.

@ChadZeluff 4 месяца назад

I love Boulders as well, but my Clear ones are becoming EXTREMELY difficult to open compared to my colored ones that flake. What gives?

@CarlosRodriguez-sv4wd 3 месяца назад

The only problem I have is that they don't fit the ultra pro Mini snaps.

@AJ.Arciniega 28 дней назад

Is there a size that fits 100 unsleeved cards? Do you think the 60+ could work?

@FDSMTG 21 день назад

60+ definitely would fit 100 unsleeved cards without any trouble. 40+ can hold 96 unsleeved cards but it's tight. Hope that helps!

@AJ.Arciniega 21 день назад

@@FDSMTG thank you! I guess that would leave space for a bunch a dinosaur tokens then 😅

@isaaclorrain9269 4 месяца назад

I recall you have the 40k commander decks in one battlebox, but what other battleboxes do you have?

@FDSMTG 4 месяца назад

Oh so many. Ravnica Guild Kits, Strixhaven Commander Decks, Dr. Who Decks, LOTR Decks, Unsanctioned Box. Those are just the ones with boulders. I also have 2 Jumpstart Boxes, I'm building another LOTR box of archetype decks and an Unfinity archetype battle box. Some people build too many decks, I build too many battle boxes.

@isaaclorrain9269 4 месяца назад

@@FDSMTG What are "Archetype Decks"? I'm unfamiliar with the concept!
