MTG Best Deck Boxes 32 - Imperium, BCW Deck Vault LX, DS Nest 300+, GameGenic Squire and Sidekick 

Never in my life would I have thought seeing a grown man review deckboxes could be so soothing and entertaining

As a retailer your reviews are essential to understand in which brand of supplies I should invest. In order to best serve my customers it's vital to have some kind 9f advance look at the pros and cons of these kinds of products because of the HUGE variety of them available. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hugely cathartic to see you put the cards back in the box... **prof starts shaking box vigorously again,** **anxiety escalates**

Gamegenic is certainly doing amazing boxes, can we get a review of their sleeves?

I feel like Dragon Shield is really overthinking the design of their nest deck boxes

RIP to all the poor non-flying creatures in his decks that die during him casting Earthquake on every box :(

15:57 That “oh snap!” Really got to me. 😂

Great to see him remind everyone to show their local game store love in this time of hardship. Keep up the great work prof I always enjoy your vids and the product reviews are always so helpful for me and the community as well.

15:33 It's very easy professor: Reading the magnets explains the magnets. This is a lesson I learned from you.

The super-obvious musical cue when it's the product Prof really likes.

I'm still using the stanley tool box that he recommended.

Me: So nice to see him putting the cards away *18:31* Me: HE'S STUCK IN AN INFINITE LOOP!

*sees deck box review* *Haven't touched paper cards since January* *Instant speed click*

The Dragon Shield one probably has a vacuum in it while empty which makes it difficult to open, but when you fill that space with cards, it doesn't have that catch.

Is it just me or does anyone else want a video of just the Prof scanning the camera over his bookshelf & giving his brief thoughts on his books??

If I ran a game store I'd put profs grades on all my products.

You shaking these boxes so hard is my absolute favorite thing about these videos thank u for giving it your all

When I saw gamegenic boxes with an entirely removable magnetic top I went “whoa”. It was VERY cool. As I saw it snap on the bottom, I loved it. I also noticed that you put a lot more care in the presentation of the box material and let it speak for itself. If you wanted a purely objective review, I’ll say you telegraphed that you saved the best for last, or that you liked those boxes the most. However as you continued to review the product, I had to agree that this was certainly the best product reviewed. I love the washed out colors and that they ARE mix and matchable. The box made me think of 2 cons however: the top could be easily lost. I know losing things is a given and infrequent, but that never has been a criterion for your reviews. At least with the tray cases, losing a tray allows the shell to be used as an oversized container that could be separated via toploaders or dividers. But with this product, you lose the bottom, you’re sh!t outta luck. I would have considered that a con on the otherwise beautiful product. Additionally, I love the shake test. But what about a drop test? Some of those boxes of dropped on a corner, I presume could pop open and out scatter your cards. And if you’re on the move, that could prove disastrous. It would be nice to see a drop test, or even forcefully throwing the box on the ground to see if it can be busted open. After a number of drops, does the case start to degrade? Just wondering. At the end of the day, fantastic video, quality presentation, I enjoyed it immensely and will hope to see more. It’d be great if you react or reply to my message if you read and cared about it, would make my week no doubt. This video makes me wish I bought gamegenic in lieu of DEXprotection.

Prof: "Magnets are like magic. No one knows how they work." Me (a middle school science teacher) "Ummm..." Great vid, Prof! I am definitely picking up some of those Gamegenic boxes.

He always looks so intense when he shakes a box. 😂

When the music at 12:08 kicks in I know I'm about to see a banger of a deck box.

Me: *only use small plastic containers for all my cards* Also me: *still watching this video eventhough i knew that i couldn't afford any of them*

You've really sold me on the BCW Deck Vault. As someone who makes my own custom tokens as a big part of expressing myself with my decks, I often lament how few can go in a deck box, especially with my double sleeved commander decks. I will be looking into those, so thanks!. Also I love how big you smile when you find a product that really does exactly what you want. It's so nice to see you be happy.

I found these deck box videos 4 years ago. They are the root reason that I still play the game today. And this game has helped me cope through some very difficult things in my personal life. Thank you, Prof. Glad I'm still here :)

14:59 That "hm-hm-hmm" might be the best thing I've heard all day.

I really enjoy these review videos. I also really appreciate your willingness to put your decks in the boxes and do the shake test. I wince everytime the cards pop out and go flying everywhere - thanks for taking one for the team!

Your previous review of Gamegenic made me a convert, I was super impressed with the stronghold box, gotta buy me another one.

I love it when he does this box shaking until stuff flys off, there is so much effort in it ! Thumbs up its great !

“You can put in your standard or modern deck there” OK but what about my pauper deck? 🧐

16:50 Cons "nah" Well, wow.

These reviews continue to get better produced as time has gone on. Congrats to you prof!

After one of his last reviews I got ahold of my LGS owner and asked him to order me some of the gamegenics and I love them plus he said they have became a big hit for both his gamers and sports guys in his shop

Thank you for sacrificing your decks to provide insight into quality of deck boxes! I always look forward to your reviews!

When I see the professor's smiling face on the thumbnail I know we're in for a good time!

That beaming face when the box holds on, blessed

With this plus the Dungeon in the last video, Gamegenic is my new favorite. I really appreciate your videos, prof. I watched about 15 of these box and case videos until I eventually found exactly what I wanted. Had fun the whole way.

Hey Prof, thanks for always making great content that is such an enjoyable experience. The last 15 or so seconds put a huge smile on my face cause it felt so relatable and felt the happiness. Thanks you

Yes! Deck box time ^-^

Thanks for the suggestions. I have bought multiple boxes from your suggestions in the past and have not been disappointed once!

Thanks a lot for your reviews! I followed ur advice and recently bought some Dragon Shield Art Matte Sleeves and GameGenic Squires and i can not be more satisfied! For many years i didn´t put too much attention/care on the quality of the sleeves/boxes i was using (ultra pro), and i have to say that the difference is huge!

I already have all the deck boxes that I need and I'm not sure why I still watch these videos, but I love your work professor

Thanks for the vid Prof! Astonishingly (as I love your review vids more than anything else you do), my favourite part was at the end when you were collecting the cards up and sorting them. It felt remarkably calming, intimate and personal. I found myself thinking that I could just watch a vid of you doing that and musing on MTG and life...I appreciate that clearly COVID is affecting me in odd ways...but I loved it 😁

Thank you for everything you do Professor. I was wondering if I should get the Gamegenic sidekick and I knew I could find your review. You’re truly the player bases greatest advocate. Magic is so much greater for having you apart of it.

I've been looking forward for a review on the BCW deck boxes for a while. Awesome work Prof!

Love your videos on how you keep doing these deck box tests and card sleeve tests. I know it's been so long since I've commented on your videos. Hope you're doing well and hope to purchase some of these. Love your research and passion you put in to card games. Thank you.

Incredible video as always. Both that BCW tower and that last product are definitely going to be on my shopping list as my commander deck collection grows.

I feel like the Gamegenic went above and beyond, and for what they managed to do with the sideloader, I kinda feel like they deserve an A+ tbh.

"Cons? Nah."

I havent bought deck boxes in awhile and have no reason to get more. But for some reason I have watched and often rewatch everyone of these videos. Keep up the great work!

This is my favorite series. Thank you Prof. I review your videos before I buy any accessories! Keep up the great work!

these videos have been helpful for over half a decade. thanks prof.!

prof, your shake tests are pure comedy and brighten up my day :) thanks!!

Always a good review. Once I am ready to change my deck boxes I know where to come for an assessment.

My LGS picked up some of the Game Genic boxes after your first video from them. So far we love the boxes!

thank you for this!!! I've been brewing a buncha commander decks and have been on the hunt for good boxes for them!!

I got my BCW deck vault 200 today in purple. Couldn’t be more pleased with it!! I put my two favorite decks in there and the tray was able to hold all the tokens. I was even able to throw a few small dice and counters on top of the tokens. Thanks for the review prof!

Thank youvery much Professor! To me the most important part of your reviews almost allways is the stress test. To me it is most important that my cards are protected at all times.

If I ever came back to MTG after all these years I’d 100% use your videos as a guideline of what I should buy for accessories and what cards I should consider for commander decks and such.

Thanks Prof, I agree about the Gamegenic boxes, I got some in to test just before you did your last review .. Incredible quality, talking to the team that Makes them, they are all Magic Players and made the boxes they wanted to use .. then began selling them .. A great way of doing it .. So players supporting players!

I got a Gamegenic Watchtower after your review, and I'm loving it! Thank you!

I'm here for the fun stress tests & thoughtful reviews.

wow, i am impressed how far we got over the years in regards of quality. back then, when i got introduced to magic, you were this rich kid if you had normal size colorless thin sleeves and a plastic deck box^^

After you showed off the Stanley parts box case, I haven't bought another regular deck box. Being able to hold almost all my decks safely in one place with enough dice and tokens for the whole table in an easy to transport case makes a world of difference. Thanks again for your reviews professor!

Thanks again Prof, love your product reviews.

This is my favorite review series, deck boxes and dice towers

Thank you for that. I was searching for new deck boxes.

Such a wholesome dude, also now we might have to redo the “Professors top picks” video 😱

Always look forward to these review series

Amazing Job! Thanks for the review!

I was in my LGS not that long ago and saw that the Gamegenic boxes had your logo and "A" grade on them. Immediately bought several. Love them. I agree, they are the future.

how did you know? i saw the gamegenic in my LGS recently, and searched your channel for a review earlier this morning. this is exactly what i needed. and i'm glad they rate highly on your list, Prof.

It's been a while since I've watched your videos. You're still entertaining and informative, cheers!

I love these videos though i have yet to spend more than $15 on a deck box, the prof has helped me find some good bargain deck boxes though and avoid expensive clunkers like the one in this video.

Thanks for posting!!! I look forward for your videos everyday!!!

Thanks for the info professor! Purchased a gamegenics watchtower today. Two thumbs way up!!

Love my gamegenic strongholds deck boxes! Great product that the prof introduced me to in a previous video.

I'm a student in industrial design and these videos are always super fun through the ID lense, you are literally doing all the rnd for me haha thanks for the great analysis

Once again, very thorough testing and analysis Professor! Thank you for doing this, so we don't spend our money on the wrong products.

Thanks for your videos prof! always very informative and helpful

Thank you for always being honest and transparent. Your work does not go unnoticed.

Now you will have to review gamegenic sleeves, mats and binders :)

I gotta say, these product reviews are some of my favorite content on your channel Prof. I just wish you'd use 100 sleeved islands or healing salves during the oft-failed shake tests

Looks awesome! I'm all in on UG Boulders but these look more compact at the table in exchange for some additional moving parts

Bought some of the GameGenic cases after watching this video, absolutely love them. The snap feels so good and the fit is wonderful. Was thrilled to see these cases show up at my LGS, have already got 3. Price is Great as well, been talking them up. Thanks again for the review prof!

I only play Arena, so deck boxes are not a problem, yet I love watching your reviews. They are on point, you ask questions players really care and point problems that make a difference. Keep them coming.

Fun, entertaining and informative as always prof!

Thank you so much for these videos I've bought so many products with help from this channel

Watching you shake boxes it's the best part of my day

My favorite part of these videos is putting the shake test in slow motion and really just taking it all in

The primary store I go to doesn't carry the Squire boxes, but I was able to find a relatively new lgs near my house and just about cleaned them out, but I am beyond thrilled! I had 3 Ultra Pro satin towers and 3 Monoliths and the 6 Squires I have now take up so much less space! I am incredibly impressed and glad I watched this video. Definitely an A+ from me on the quality of these boxes.

100% agree with your cons for the Gamegenic boxes! I've completely switched over to Gamegenic deckboxes; using 5 Sidekicks in the Dungeon 1100 and 2 200+ Strongholds for bringing out

Thanks a lot prof. You take bullets for us. One see a deckbox with the name Dragonshield in it and could assume "it will be great" but thanks to you we don't have to have that bad experience. By the other hand who could tough that a new brand could be so good! You are our lighthouse in this sea of products. Pd. Laughed a lot with your face at the end giving the deck box a final shake test hahahaha.

I use a telecopic brush holder (meant for paint brushes) to hold my playmat. It's amazing. fits perfectly, doesn't roll of the table, protects it well and is dirt cheap. Just a tip for people who want to carry their playmat safely.

Bought the gamegenic stronghold after your review of that box and can safely say it’s my favourite accessory so far. I might look into the squire over the watchtower for some of my other decks (although, can one go wrong with buying extra strongholds). Thanks a lot for your videos prof

Just picked up a gamegenic sidekick yesterday. Loving the box so far.

I just picked up three Squires to upgrade some of my accessories. Unfortunately my lgs was selling them for $20, but my god are they worth it! I absolutely love these things! Another cool feature I thoroughly enjoy is putting the lid on the bottom at an angle so the box tilts towards you, which is something they suggested on the packaging

Thank you for all your work, Prof.

I've been going back and rewatching all these deckbox videos and seeing how my favorite deck boxes are stacking up. Right now my favorites are my Satin Tower, Dragonshield Nest, Ultimate Guard Sidewinder, and I recently bought my friend a Gamegenic Sidekick because it had a review from this channel written on the box. He loves the Sidekick but I think the Sidewinder is still my favorite. Something about it just feels so right and I've come to really prefer sideloading deckboxes

Perfect timing! I was just about to place an order for the Nest 300+, but it looks like the design isn't quite there yet...

Seriously love your reviews, I've been following them for years and have been very satisfied with your top picks, never have I been disappointed. Just wondering if you could create a "tier list" of the products you review like you used to do with sleeves (I remember some of your videos had a list of everything you reviewed with grades at the end). That and not sure if you already reviewed the Dragon Shield brushed sleeves. Thanks a lot prof and keep up the awesome work.
