Nice review, Iam following on RUclips and Facebook, Iam using Bcw prism they work well with my double sleeve command decks. But would give the bastion a try.
Thanks for providing an unbiased and straightforward review. Both this and boulders have their pros and cons, but having the capacity to store slabbed commanders is a huge plus for a lot of people.
I'm a huge fan of gamegenic. Follow them on youtube. The problem with the bolder is that its to tight sometimes and damages my cards. So Happy to See that the bastion is higher.
Been a fam for gamegenic for sometime. I tend to get them for my favorite decks and boulders for everything else. So this seems like a nice place between luxury and economy!
I've seen a lot of Gamegenic products lately. They really do seem like a good new competitor in the market so I started following them on Instagram. I have yet to try any of their products, though. Thank you for the honest review of the Bastion. I don't think it would be the right deck box for every deck, but I do have some commander decks that are double sleeved and/or carry a large amount of tokens with them. I assume it would be perfect for these kind of decks :)
Can’t wait for this to hit LGSes near me. I bought a Dungeon recently, so having the Bastion made to fit Dungeons is a major plus point. Even without the Dungeon compatibility, it’s great to see Gamegenic release their own Boulder equivalent. Too bad about not being able to completely house a triple-sleeved Commander deck, though.
I wasn’t very happy with the bastion. The Boulder is pretty much the perfect box and feels so much more high quality, and the colors and plastic just are better. But of course its issue is the capacity. I switched from Boulders to GameGenic sidekicks which are amazing. If Ultimate Guard would just up the capacity on the Boulders of the 100+ to fit double sleeved cards it’d be perfect. The 133 is too much.
From my testing, if you throw the commander in a snap/slide case and in the back of the case, it makes it easier to take the whole deck out. Also, GameGenic's branded slide case is stack-able and if you face the commander a certain way, the sleeved cards kinda fill the back of the case and really makes the deck come out easily.
My first thought was "this is a bigger boulder", and I was right! I "liked" on Facebook, I'm a boomer and don't know if there's a follow button I missed, so if I did, no worries! That all said, if I recall correctly the designer of the boulder also works for/runs/somesortofinvolvement with GameGenic, so it makes sense the products would be similar if that's the case.
a great review. unbiased, fair. clearly stated what he feels like were cons or flaws instead of just straight knighting another product. I follow gamegenic on X and youtube. Excited for the slide cases they are putting out. Can't wait to see how they perform.
Thanks for the review, you actually answered my biggest question, which was whether the bastion would fit as well in my quiver case as my boulders. Keep up the good work!
I follow gamegenic here at RUclips! Good luck everyone and thank you for the review Esmond! I used to store my commander decks on dragon shield's strongbox, but since they discontinued i've been looking for a substitute and finally the bastion seems to meet my needs (besides, can't find ultimate guard products here in Brazil)
I follow them on the artist formerly known as Twitter. I'm excited for these because these will serve better for storing precons and the tokens that come with them.
A boulder will burst open if you shake it hard enough? I'd be very curious to see that. No mention of the price, which is the most important for most people. Retail price is 40% higher than a boulder. At that price point, it's quite a terrible option. You can get 2 nameless sidewinder magnetic deck boxes online (basically same as branded ones) for the same price.
At the time of making this video, I don't actually know the retail price of the Bastion. I assume it will be similar to Ultimate Guard's Boulder series, and that will definitely make it a very competitive choice. What are YOUR thoughts on this deckbox???
I follow them on facebook and youtube. Thanks for the review. Really excited for your deckbox to be shown some more, is yours going to be easily available in europe?
It’s kinda crazy to me that Ultimate Guard doesn’t have a variety of options for XL Boulders. Every MTG player I know ditched boulders after they found out they can’t store double sleeved decks
i remember when gamegenic first started showing up. theyre def a power house in my opinion. im actually glad they are larger than boulders bc i find that the boulder 100 doesnt hold 100 double sleeved that well (they are yugioh so its not an inner sleeve but a truly double sleeve) Also for some of the smaller decks, the gamegenic 50 should be room plenty for 60 or more with single sleeves
I’m not sure when but once asmodee bought it marketing went way up. Just like you see youtubers getting free products to review and Gamenights! is sponsored by them.
I follow them on RUclips and Twitter I refuse to use the other name. Love their products and use their cards lair for mtg right now but going to switch to dungeon for these boxes
Boulder is good, but bastion suit my need better. Thank you @gamegenicsupplies for this product. We need more stores carrying their product in Singapore, kinda hard to find their product locally. Anyway, followed them on RUclips 😁
Followed Gemegenic on FB, subscribe to this channel. Question, may i know exactly how many triple sleeved card can it fit? guess my triple sleeved legacy deck found a new home.

Thanks for reviewing my review ☺️
Thanks for the review! But I think I will stick to my boulders , especially with how the decks aren't as easy to remove and the increase in size.
Thanks for the review, you actually answered my biggest question, which was whether the bastion would fit as well in my quiver case as my boulders. Keep up the good work!
Can always rely on you to provide high quality videos ❤

Followed them on RUclips! This would be my edh deck box onwards! Totally love we can put the mini snap inside❤️

This is very tempting. I use Prisms but they don’t make enough colors for what I want so I may try these.
At the time of making this video, I don't actually know the retail price of the Bastion. I assume it will be similar to Ultimate Guard's Boulder series, and that will definitely make it a very competitive choice. What are YOUR thoughts on this deckbox???
The retail price of the Bastion 100+ XL will be 11.99 USD/EUR! 😊
I follow them on facebook and youtube. Thanks for the review.
Really excited for your deckbox to be shown some more, is yours going to be easily available in europe?
You’re welcome. Yeah I’ll be shipping it worldwide!
It’s kinda crazy to me that Ultimate Guard doesn’t have a variety of options for XL Boulders. Every MTG player I know ditched boulders after they found out they can’t store double sleeved decks
Being able to put in snap cases are a gamechanger
So, what app are you guys using to track your life?
Nice
Following gamegenic here on RUclips. Good luck everyone and thank you for the review Esmond.
This looks fantastic, any news when itll come to stores?
The release date for the US and Canada is September 8th, 2023! Europe and the rest of the world a little later. 😊

They are owned by asmodee one of the biggest board game companies in the world if not the biggest
@@andrewpark7242 did they start out like that or is that why they started to take off past few years
I’m not sure when but once asmodee bought it marketing went way up. Just like you see youtubers getting free products to review and Gamenights! is sponsored by them.
Love Gamegenic's Cards Lair 400 (tell them to make more colors!!!) & Watchtower. Following them on Facebook
Suggestion noted! 😉We're glad to hear you like our products.😊
Im digging the product reviews Esmond!
The best Box is RTE Boulder 133+ drin Ultimate Guard
TwitterX--- BUT. I'm excited because I want to get those Snapfits for my commander too, the slick and thin look is real nice
good stuff but I think the clear boulders are still unbeatable. that said, a free deck box is always welcomed gimme gimme
Looks like an awsome Deck box and I fallow them on RUclips and insta.
What is a minislab and where would you buy one.
I follow them on RUclips and Twitter I refuse to use the other name. Love their products and use their cards lair for mtg right now but going to switch to dungeon for these boxes
Does it hold top loaders,if so how many.thank you.
No triple sleeves 😭
Boulder is good, but bastion suit my need better. Thank you @gamegenicsupplies for this product. We need more stores carrying their product in Singapore, kinda hard to find their product locally. Anyway, followed them on RUclips 😁
Triple sleeve fit with UG boulder？
Are they good with double sleeving dragon shields matte sleeves with dragon shield inner sleeves
How big is it compared to the ultra pro satin cube?
Followed Gemegenic on FB, subscribe to this channel. Question, may i know exactly how many triple sleeved card can it fit? guess my triple sleeved legacy deck found a new home.
would you know if it fit inside a quiver bolt?
does it fit 100 cards with DS matte outers and DS sealable inners?
Will gameshaven be bringing in this series of deck boxes?
I honestly don’t know
Esmond ! Will you go to MC Vegas?
Unfortunately not :/
Is this closer to size to the 100+ or 100+ XL?
100+ xl
RUclips! Good luck all.
