Yeah prof mentionned it in a video a while back. That some companies didn't like that. I don't know if it changed.

@Pandahboymtg 4 года назад

If these companies can't take the Prof's criticism to make their product better then they probably don't care about the product or their customers.

@victort.2583 4 года назад

Ultra Pro Satin Towers are type of deck box that are really well-liked - they're super durable and are pretty affordable (around $10). Ultra Pro Eclipse sleeves are high quality card sleeves that are durable, smooth, and have opaque backs (some sleeves are just clear enough to see the card back, which can get you in trouble for using marked cards). They're really good products all-around, and are definitely recommendable.

For the bolts at the very bottom of the Nexus case, you can get some fabric glue and lay down a large microfibre cloth as a ''mat'' so to speak, and have it glued down on the inside to cover the bolts while still providing a very soft, non-scratch area to the bottom.

If it's any help, he has compared Dragon Shield to Eclipse (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rp8NhzvtLCo.html) and said they were roughly equal, and has said he thinks Katana outclasses Eclipse (www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/amgb2r/tcc_a_review_of_ultimate_guard_katana_vigilant/eflpnas?), so it seems he prefers Katana sleeves. Having said that, they're all great, and you probably can't go wrong with any of them for Magic.

I got the fancy Ultimate Guard Deck Box Holder to hold my $20 Ultimate Guard boxes, it was $80, It has a nice smooth interior and a solid strong leather material for the outside, red on the inside, black on the outside, the Only issue I have with it is that it was designed only to hold those cheap $10 plastic deck boxes, if I try using the Nicer deck boxes that are slightly bigger and have a magnet then the top doesn't close all the way, it has enough room for like 10 decks, plus a small section for dice or loose cards. I still use it to hold my nicer deck boxes but it doesn't fully close all the way because the nicer deck boxes are a bit taller and the lid has a flat top with no extra space like that Spellbook had.
