MTG Best Deck Boxes 27 - Dragon Shield Magic Carpet, Monster Hydra, Quiver, Blackfire Garage 

RE: shake test on Garage: a video addendum will be posted within 48 hours.

Cards are protected by inner Sleeves which are protected by regular Sleeves which then are protected by outer Sleeves which are protected by deck boxes which are protected by deck cases which are protected by backpacks which are protected by your house

as our collections grows, so does our need for protection

“As our card collections grow, so too does our need for protection.” In a way, these cards are our protection.

Thank you so much for these videos. My husband always is on the go with his magic cards and I wanted to buy him a case this Christmas. Between hard vs soft cases, name brand, and not wanting to break the bank, I was at a loss. But after watching this and a few other of your videos, he's getting a Quiver under the xmas tree! You're doing a great service!

I was super excited about the Magic Carpet so much so I went and bought one before you posted a review. I just used it this weekend during prerelease and I have to say that while I agree with some of your comments, I believe the purpose of the product was missed. It feels very much as though it were designed for folks that buy dragon shield products regularly and have a bunch of their paperboard boxes. The hard exterior shell from the playmat and the strong magnets create very secure protection for all your paperboard or thin boxes. For me it was perfect for prerelease because I could bring a few decks and tokens and still have ample room for my new cards. In fact I also became a focal point of jealousy from other players. My store has very narrow tables that will not support two full size playmates. Players simply drape the extra mat off the table, which does cramp your play space a bit. I didn’t have to worry about this because the playmat is rigid and I had ample room to play. The grippy exterior kept it firmly planted on the table and for me, the mat lies completely flat every time. The mat itself is water resistant and repels spills, so no concerns there, I recommend you try that out. Over all I am very happy with my purchase. I do have an ArkHive and the Carpet beats it hands down in my comparison in form and feel. However if you have a ton of boulders (pardon the pun) this product is not for you. For me it feels like a minimalist’s product, and I love it for that.

Hi Prof! You didn't perform upside down test for Garage filled with cards! Could you at least tell, how well it's perform? P.S: Biggest Garage weakness - "US only shipping" :( P.P.S: Customer service invade comment section - check below regarding shipping

You forgot the most important decks box: The Shoe Box

There's something very satisfying about watching these reviews...

Hey Professor been a fan for years now. And I have ALL my decks in Dragonshield and boulders or satin towers. And an Arkhive. You are the first and often only person I take my shopping tips from for my MTG gear. And the first referral I make to any of my friends doing the same. Thank you

Very good, but would have liked to see the Garage being turned upside down with cards inside it.

I have been binging these , Im new to the channel and this is my first "Deck box review" and its Dragon shield MY favorite brand (thanks to you Prof). Your channel is amaizing and thank you for getting me into more TCGs and choosing the right stuff for it.

The audio/music at 7:00 is ridiculously pleasing to hear in surround 7.1 Dolby surround sound, as well as your voice ;) . I'd like to reiterate how please I always find myself to be with the quality of your videos Prof. Thank you and keep up the Great work

I think there is something to be said of the dragonshield box being good for anyone looking to get a single, nice quality case for their decks without forking out 15-30 bucks over and over again for multiple nice deck boxes.

Monster Hydra correction You said it holds 450 s-sleeved cards, but 5*75=375 Not that this would save the product in any way.

Great video Prof! I have a Quiver myself, and it's such a sturdy product to store all my cards!

Thank you for this review I was fixing to get the magic carpet but had questions you answered

Wow, the Legion Garage is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the vid, very helpful~

I swear professor your so inspiring! It has been amazing seeing your channel and youtubing career grow over the years I am excited to see what this year brings! :D!!! I wish you success!!!!

Awesome timing! I was looking to buy a deck box just yesterday haha, this will definitely come in handy, thanks a lot!

Nice, i was looking for something like the quiver. Thanks Prof i ordered one directly.

Thanks Prof! This Garage is exactly the kind of product I was looking for, it is a perfect Commander toolbox.

I await your video on the KCI ban. My expectation is 6 seconds of screaming happiness.

That Garage box looks BONKERS! Expensive perhaps, but I think it's going to make an excellent addition to my Pirate Lab carrying case when I want to bring my large setup of extra EDH decks, and playmats.

Seen your Review of the Quiver case and got one as soon as I could, Up till then I stored my cube in a cardboard game card box which worked but better suited for my modern collection. The Quiver contains the 450 card cube, Basics (which I included 17 Wastes, just in case they become more of a thing down the road) and a section is left for tokens, emblems and flip cards for players to use. This thing is just what I wanted and needed for travel and just keeping it safe. Thanks!

Bought a Quiver when I first got into Magic, 6 months ago. Love it!

Can I just say Prof that I love your outros? With the cheesey synth music and the "thanks to viewers like you" comments, it totally succeeds in hitting that sweet 90s PBS nostalgia. :-D

Dude great video.i like hearing a person's goal and watching them achieve it.

Hey Prof, first of all: great Content . Thanks for all your work! I was wondering if you could maybe consider making a Video on how to organise your Card Collection. Since most of us players have tons of commons, uncommons and bulk rares, do you have a good way o keep track of your collection , how to sort & store them and how to find the one common, from a few sets ago, that u just can't find anymore in your shoebox filled with random cards. I'd really appreaciate that. Greeting from germany

Great review. Might pick one up of this products in the future.

Quiver is a nice form factor for carrying deck boxes, but trying to get sleeved cards in there is a pain. The corners of sleeves catch on the inner fabric constantly. The movable dividers are velcro, so that rough cloth does not play well at all with them. I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of this when he's clearly struggling to get them into the case at the beginning of the Quiver segment. If you box everything, though, it's pretty good.

Hi Tolarian! Love all of your vids and your reviews are spot on!

thank you for this Tolarion, I am actually in the market for a new box for a cube, and had considered commissioning a carpenter until I saw this. Well done!

I have the Quiver and I HIGHLY recommend it. It's an amazing carrying case for my out and back trip to the local card shop!

Thank you for this video. I love the Quiver idea. I think that is something that will be the best fit for me.

Nice plug with the play mats. The DTR is my favourite one.

I love using the pirate lab case with the hard blue foam insert

Great product placement of those playmats Prof

This video couldn't be any more perfectly timed after last weekend prerelease I need to invest in a larger deck box. Thank you!

That's awesome! I literally just say the magic carpet on eBay and asked myself what the grade was! Thank you Professor!

Great vid as always Prof! Thanks!!

I've got a Quiver to hold my Hero Realms cards and it's superb. Loads of space, very robust, and with some nice hard plastic dividers.

"Oh! But it also holds deck boxes. Which deck boxes? Yes." Could not contain my laughter! 🤣

Hey prof, you’re such a great person, I love your style and it’s beautiful that you are trying to live of your pation. Keep making videos, we never have enough

I'm done with magnet closure anything. I was moving my dex protection from one car to another tonight, it fell open, and sent my standard deck, sideboard, and my regrettably unsleeved toolbox cards. I suffered at least 60$ in damages because of a 15$ deck box.

Still have my quiver from your original quiver video. Love this thing.

As someone who has an EDH Battlechest of (currently) 18 decks and counting, the Legion Blackfire looks veeeeery attractive

Thanks for your work Prof.! I hope that we'll see you at Game Knights again :)

I really like the Dragon Shield Carpet design. The um...lid... carpet section? Seems like it would be a great Playmat, or card sorting surface. We all know how dirty those FNM tables can be. If the surface was felt, I'm sure it would be perfect. But these Dragon Shield boxes are such a pain to get around here. Like Ultimate Guard. But my local game stores started carrying Ultimate Gaurd because they, kinda had to because its what people where buying. Dragon Shield has something here. And with a little revision. It would be awesome! Let's hope they do. BUT It needs to be able to fit Ultimate Guard Boulders. Oh sweet! The garage is perfect for my Silver Boarder Cube!

Always great reviews!!! Great channel.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

I personally like the magic carpet, I wanted something to hold all my decks and was excited about this product. It takes up less space in my bag now. I like it at least, kinda sad that you didnt give it a better review but you did point out the flaws of it and they are pretty big ones.

Thank you again for these videos. Friend got the quiver a while back and was wondering if some deck boxes would fit. Said hold on one sec I'll take a look.

i have the first deck box you reviewed and the magnets are strong, glued on well. I can fit monster deck box with the covers on them in mine and it closes fine. Paid 10$ CAD for it on amazon and i thought it was great.

Whenever the track at 10:20 plays I can hear the professor saying "Delicious. Finally, some good fucking sleeves/deck boxes"

Thanks Prof :D You're amazing!

I've had my first quiver for nearly a decade now and i love it ❤❤❤...easily my number 1 choice in deck cases

I already have all the deckboxes and sleeves i need. But for some reason I can't stop watching these videos, its got an ASMR relaxing feel

Nice comparation professor!!

Just discovered you today because of Team APS.. I really love your reviews even though I’m a yugioh player. Your videos are so informative! : )

Great video Prof. Could you answer a question? I am super pumped to see a deck "case" that can hold a Satin Tower. The towers are, by far, my favorite deck box. However as my collection of constructed decks grows, I am finding that while they are superb at their function, they can be a tad cumbersome to gather up and move around to the various places my play group congregates. So my question is, just how many Satin Tower boxes will fit in that Garage? As a follow up/related- if I were to stand them up the tall way, would the lid still fit- or to put it another way, as the design of the cover is removable and basically sits over the top, is the closure of that cover designed in a way, or strong enough to hold if it isn't all the way down(the towers likely are taller then the garage is, so the cover would not be all the way on, but held up by the towers) or is the cover not designed to "hold on" to the bottom if it is not fully engaged? Given that, is the Garage the best option to gather and move a large group of Satin Towers? or would you recommend another product? Thanks

Yey more of these review videos. Have to say amazing quality videos, A+++.

What a great vid.... getting the garage and the quiver

Considering either the Quiver or that garage. Thanks Professor!

These types of videos are the reason I subscribed to this channel and for a time the only reason I stayed.

I wanted Ultimate Guard to make a bigger Arkive, basically like this. I house all my Commander Decks in Arkhives would like to combine them into one box. Prof, How many of those 100 Boulders can fit in there if you don't mind me asking? I saw a quick clip in the video where I see a yellow one in there, but was trying to scale it to figure it out..... Thanks and great video!!

Fantastic Video as always

I've been using a Quiver for about a year now and have been very happy with it. I couldn't help but notice that this video didn't say anything about how it works with playmats. It turns out that if you loosely roll a playmat you can tuck it in the mesh pocket in the lid and it will still zip closed, even when it's full of cards. You have to hold the lid down while you zip it so that the roll flattens out, but you don't have to press hard and it doesn't seem to have bothered my cards. This doesn't work with the thicker mats out there, but it does work with most ones I've seen. There's even room for a few commanders in top loaders in the pocket with it.

I love the Stanley compartment box recommended for it.

I use a .45 caliber ammo box to store my decks. Pros: Hold eight sleeved decks (without deck boxes) , a cardboard divider to keep the two columns of decks separated, two play mats, and a small leather bag of dice, with room for tokens. The decks are also easy to remove so long as you don't overstuff the box. Solid metal construction. Removable lid. Costs 20 dollars at the surplus store. Cons: Hefty when full. I don't feel it as much after 2 years, but starting out it's heavy. All your eggs are in one basket, so to speak, but the same could be said about a backpack. Some maintenance is needed upon purchase (applying WD-40 to the hinges and opening it a few times to smooth out the lid) Opening the lid can be loud.

Love that you're running around your office in your socks. You're just like the rest of us :P

Great video Prof. I know I enjoy my Quiver. It holds just enough. I do wish I could get a mat in on top of the decks, but it's only a small complaint.

I'd love to hear your input on using a Stanley bin compartment organizer. I've heard it talked about as its very affordable and holds EDH decks in each compartment. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for another great video :)

Awsome, definatively getting a garage!!

Thanks. I have waited your pro review of dragon sheild magic carfet.

My LGS got some Dragon Shiel Magic Carpets in. The display model has started to peel apart at the ends below the outer flap.

Beautiful. I need a deck box holder.

I have a Ultra Pro sort of suitcase like case that hold allot of deck boxes and a bag of dice and a bag of counters, I also have this Chinese box with a handle, they are not the best but I just play casual and my cards are not the most expensive so they work well enough when bringing a selection of decks for game night.

So I'm looking to store all the prebuilt planeswalker decks in one place biggest thing I can find for price is the gift boxes wizards sells it can 15-18 decks based on how centered the middle insert is but I'm wonder is there a better option?

I love the design of the Garage, but I also would like to see it get some more abuse and magnet tests, just to see how it holds up in travel and over time :]

I have the purple Quiver. So awesome. Though my Quiver didn't come with the zipper sleeve.

Loved that Simpson's reference!

Been wanting that quiver for many years, just saw this video and now i know. 100% worth it.

Definetly the Quiver, as you can in fact hold it like one. Plus the waterproof technology is very important. For me, at least, it is the best of them all as you don't even need to hold it in your hand, just use the cord and you're done.

Another great review. Just became a patreon can't wait to get my signed card!

As a relatively new Magic player (a few months), the best deck boxes I have are the boxes that come with booster bundles, but I hope to one day need a Quiver or a Garage.

Excellent Simpsons quote there Prof.

Thanks for another great video, Professor. I'm glad to be a Patreon.

Love the Simpsons quote. That's from season 2 or 3! Deep!

Another good option is the piratelab case. They have different sizes. The one I have holds 12 100 count boulder boxes

The Quiver looks interesting. Combo Card/Camera Lens box. For when you bring your SLR to the Grand Prix.

Professor: For cube-storage, would you recommend the new Legion Garage or the Dex Protection Supreme Game Chest you analysed in another video? Good Video, as always!

Great idea!!!

Thanks for the review! What would u suggest between the garage and the arkhive 800+ for a cube (540 cards+ lands/tokens)?

Which deck box would you suggest to hold a double sleeved EDH deck, as well as a case to hold 6 of deck boxes. Preferably the ability to hold a play mat as well but not of the greatest importance.

I would love a review for some items for key forge, I've been looking for some good products for storing keyforge decks as well cool addons for replacements for the official tokens, the quiver looks like the perfect thing so far for caring bunches of decks and your needed tokens and trackers

Once again thankyou for your reviews. Do you know how many boulders can fit in one row and how many commander boulders fit in a row?

Hi professor, thanks for sharing how to store unopened boxes of masters sets. I also have tons of them ,and literally do not know where to put them in my room.

Hi. Great reviews, Professor! Now, my question: can the Quiver hold multiple Dragon Shield Hive 100 deck boxes? I need an storage solution for at least three of those.
