Have you tried the Staples "Better Binder"? With vulcanized rubber hinges, it's far more durable than the crimped vinyl most binders use, and it comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee - if the binder ever breaks, you can just go to Staples and swap it for a new one.
I am up in Canada, Prof, so off to Home Depot on Sunday I go to buy the Stanley version!
I'd love seeing a deck tech of your Feldon of the Third Path list. He's one of my favorite commanders, and I lalways enjoy seeing other people's take on him.
It appears to be a great product but I have dealt with velcro products in the past. You will eventually need to brush out the velcro since it tends to hold fabric from the connector pads. Other than that small bit of maintenance it IS a good product!
That set looks great! It kind of reminds me of the Loading Ready Run set, which is a good thing because their set is clean af! You're doing great!

Tell us how to make the cards too since they are terrible quality and way overpriced
Many magic the gathering fans ask, how do I achieve a clean bevel without access to jousting lance
Best comment...period.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Somewhere a Stanely sales exec is scratching their heads and wondering why they are selling so well all of a sudden and why are non construction retailers buying their products. LMAO
A Guy and wondering what RUclips hole they fell in to wind up watching magic the gathering videos
To bad they acually updated it to only 10 compartments not 12 (about to buy it)
@@pongchannel. it's only 10 compartments because two of them are basically double-sized, so it holds the same amount of cards (if not slightly more).
@@KetsubanSolo k still prefer 12
The funny thing is that if Ultra-Pro or Ultimate Guard would build something like this Stanley box, it would cost between $50-$70. Stanley be like "$17".
Jeremiah Bachmann it's called capitalism and niche markets, it's a reason why capitalism is a terrible economic system
GhoulcallerGisa not really ,it allows us to have the stanly one for 17 if ultra pro Jacks up the price don't buy it, it's as simple as that
tastymelon while diversity amongst products is real, the issue is that ultra pro makes the inferior product, it's worse in essentially every way, costs more, deteriorates faster, holds less, etc. the Stanley box was created to hold tools, while yes it is creative of the consumer to use it for something other than tools, ultra pro is most likely the brand that everyone uses because it's made for TCGs, meaning that people end up paying more for less efficient product, ultra pro could easily make a better/just as good product for probably just as cheap, but they don't, because they don't have to, when the economic system is based around money, and not progress, you tend to see stalemates in design and innovation
GhoulcallerGisa oh boy... One of these people...

professor, I think you should do more "everyday products" that can be used for TCG videos. its quite amazing what can be used for TCG storage and/or use. :D
Apache 1800 at Harbor Freight tool store. At 13$, it’s the Best security for an expensive deck at that price point.
Ok, I’ve just gotta say that the Prof came in seriously clutch with this one. I decided to go to my LGS the other evening to play commander, but my commander decks were in very awkward, not-easy-to-move storage containers. I had roughly four hours to somehow figure out how to transport ~12 commander decks easily. Then I remembered the Stanley Container Thingy from this video, and it turned out my father had one in his garage that he wasn’t even using. Without this video, I would’ve probably rocked up to my LGS with an arm full of boxes. Outstanding.
First off I love you professor you tell it how it is and always have the gamers in heart! Also, I'm a contractor and we have two of the Stanley boxes at the bottom of our toolboxes. We are always throwing things on them and they still work after 3-5 years of HEAVY use. Still never thought of it as being used as a tcg holder. Today, I bought a 3-drawer plastic cabinet from Walmart for $18 and I use it to hold the pirate lab 3 compartment foam. Fits perfectly and has room for extra deck boxes or anything else even play mats.
love the whole everyday working class blue collar guy plays magic like the rest of us nerds. and thats a great idea. ive seen a few of those cabinets before and never thought of them being good for cards, just junk drawers
Please be careful using camera bags. Thieves recognize camera bags. We had one stolen in the Atlanta Airport, the security guards figure that the thieves hoped for a nice expensive camera.
Turns out they got diapers.
That being said, be careful.
IndraSunrise just stick a couple Magic themed stickers on the case...
Had a similar thing happen to me, used a nice camera / laptop bag for my clothes and meds. Busted out the rental car window in broad daylight and all they got was my socks underwear and my much needed medication. 🙄
That sucks diapers are expensive
Im probably gonna buy that camera bag not because i need it for magic card but because I need a better camera bag.
I’ve been looking for a hard case, and apparently Apache cases are all the rage among camera and drone owners. It’s a budget version of pelican cases.
I've been using the Stanley case for years now and can confirm it's fantastic. Only thing buyers should be wary of is the fact that each compartment isn't completely flat on the bottom. There is a slight indent in the middle of each one that can slightly damage the sides of sleeves when used for long periods of time. I avoided this problem by cutting thin foam pieces to make the bottom flat or by leaving the cards in some sort of simple box (ex Dragon Shield sleeve box). Apart from that I've loved how durable and convenient it's been, would easily recommend.
I've been looking for this but all the ones I have found online have 8 regular compartments plus two larger sizes compartments. I can't find any that look just like the one in this video which has 12 normal size compartments.
Same but I cut thin pieces of plastic to fit the bottoms so there flat plus I use deck boxes too except for some side board cards works great
@@blaarfengaar I'm having the same issue. I found one in a local store which is EXACTLY the same organizer, but it comes with two larger compartments in the middle instead of 5 small ones... Can't find any like the one on the video :(
@@juanignaciobidegaray honestly I suspect that the one Prof has in the video just had the compartments swapped out and put back on the shelf by someone
Wow ! You sold me on that stanley case. Im going to my home depot now. See you later. Thanks!
Oh Im back, I forgot to ask, is it water resistant? If I spilled water on it while its closed or if I carry it through the rain, will water run into my box and damage my cards?
I'm guessing, but I'd say yes. It was designed to hold hardware for handy men so there's that possibility it'll get caught in the rain. And getting those metal bits wet could hurt them.
You can also buy silicon tape and tape the upper and lower outside edges of the lid and base. Simple water resistance at about $0.95 a box. (The spool I used on my 12x18 box was $6 but there is way more than I needed.)
I've been using one for about a year, and its great. Mine has withstood several spills with nothing leaking through
Colin McKean what is the title again? Because I plugged the one from the description into google and got one that has the same name but different compartments. The dimensions might also help.
I don't play MTG, (I play yu-gi-oh super casually) but you fine sir have earned a subscriber in me with your amazing content and the friendly atmosphere of your work. Great stuff.
This review is refreshing, please do more every day items that we can use for magic!
you could keep cards in plastic food boxes. :)
Or a spam can. Just rinse it out first... Or not, could make games more interesting having a deck that smells like such fine deli meat.
Warren Dax Be sure to run Thopter Pie Factory ;).
I tried getting into MTG again a while back, but just couldn’t get into it. On the plus side, I remembered seeing the Stanley organizer on this video and it solved another serious organization problem I had been having for a while, so thanks! 👍🏻
Sales for Stanley (and other) products like this increase ten fold.
New market niche! Gamers.

Small note, the Stanley Toolbox comes with 8 deck sized trays and 2 extra large trays by default, so you're missing out on 4 deck-sized trays unless you pull a sneaky in the home depot aisle when no one's looking.
As a tradeoff, the extra large trays PERFECTLY fit the deck boxes that come with the Commander Precons, if for some reason you want to carry 2 of those around with you...
Wow dude you look after your things so well, all those binders look brand new and that's what I assumed with each of them until you said otherwise. Nice!
Actually, I don't! I am very messy and lazy and all around rough on my things in real life. My jackets are rumpled, my trunk a mess. I am always grabbing my MTG accessories in a hurry and tossing them in and out of whatever bag I am using for transport, dropping things constantly, or leaving things lying around and exposed to harm. I'm a mess; the classic absent minded professor.
But that's exactly why I have found all these products. I need things that can survive ME.
Aha, and this is why you are perfect for the job, if a product can survive you, it can survive anyone! :D
@@TolarianCommunityCollege that explains why you put the products through lots of testing such as shaking the deck boxes or pulling apart the card sleeves
RIP to the Stanley cases. They were discontinued, but will never be forgotten.
I bought the Stanley boxes for my boys. They store decks, spare sleeves, tokens, dice and empty pack wrappers (silly pack rats). They work wonderful and my toddlers will stand on them if they get left out. Very sturdy design and I think it will take an act of God to break them
Majin Shinsa I do have a question about the Stanley box and you might be the perfect person to answer.
Can you store deck boxes in the compartments? Mainly a standard size deck box?
Or are deck boxes not really worth it because they offer great protection?
Seth Hayes a few of my decks are in deck boxes for my commonly used decks (I have one I use a my commander deck storage) so I can grab them easily if I'm not taking all my decks.
I havent been able to find the Stanley box anywhere online, where did you get yours?
Christian Wilkerson home depot. I love it!
I've been looking for this but all the ones I have found online have 8 regular compartments plus two larger sizes compartments. I can't find any that look just like the one in this video which has 12 normal size compartments.
Thanks for a great video! Having just purchased the Stanley 10-compartment, I have a few observations to add. First off, mine was indeed a 10-compartment item, and contains 8 trays of the size shown in the video, but also 2 double-sized trays. My guess is someone "customized" yours prior to you getting it, but I digress... The double-sized trays are actually great for me, because I like to store my decks in Ultimate Guard 100+ Boulders, but the smaller trays are just slightly too small for them. However, because the double-sized trays don't have to be split down the middle by a strip of plastic, they are the perfect size to hold a pair of the 100+ Boulders. With 2 double-sized trays, this then acts like a budget ArkHive, sans the Xenoskin, microfiber, and magnets. The one structural downside of this compared to the ArkHive is that you do have to tip the boulders out of the trays to get to them, but considering all the additional space for dice, etc and how budget friendly this is, I'm a very happy purchaser.
I also tinkered around with what else I could fit in it, and it turns out the boxes you get with Fat Pac....er, I mean set Bundles...fit very well two two across (two of them replace a row of five trays with some space between), a UG Flip'n'Tray Mat Case does fit inside (albeit VERY tightly across) but with almost too much room in the the other dimensions, and an ArkHive does not fit as the lid can no longer close (though why you'd actually want to do that, I don't know). That said, being able to add a mat into the mix (I'd love to find a better solution than just shoving my mat box in - if you can think of any please let me know!) makes this basically a budget SuperHive, but at under 1/3 the price. Also, I'd simply point out that this is a GREAT mobile lands station. I'm the unofficial draft coordinator for my friends, and I'm looking forward to this easily helping me carry everything I could possibly need. Thanks for the great suggestion!
PS - I've been watching your videos for a while now and have taken a lot of great suggestions and ideas from them. Thank you for all the detailed work you do! :)
I pulled out the dividers in a couple of the Fat Packs (now Bundles) and two of them fit side by side perfectly in the large containers, as well as holding 100+ sleeved cards easily.
I've been using the amazon dslr bag since November 2014 for magic cards, absolutely love it 🤙
Ricky K has it held up pretty well over time?
Does it hold a 9 Pocket flexxfolio?
They make a slightly bigger version for 40 bucks. It has a compartment in the back for a laptop. I carry two trade binders back there easily. Mine has held up very well for a couple of years now. I did cut off the extra straps that clip around the waist. I have it packed full and have had no problems with it thus far. Fantastic bag.
I have the $40 larger bag and have used it since December 2017 and I love it. In the laptop compartment I keep two standard trade binders. I also keep a 4 binder in the front pocket but wouldn’t recommend doing that as the edges have started to curve. No damage to the cards inside but I’m in the market for another 3x3 trade binder for that pocket.
I may consider cutting off the waist strap, that’s a great idea as it isn’t necessary for going from my car to the store and other short trips and just gets in the way.
I have the larger $40 one for a year and its amazing. Held up great, and fits a standard flar 9-pocket binder in the laptop pocket.

This comment aged better than expected.
Just No nachos 😁
yes pls
Love this! I'm always getting creative when it comes to MTG stuff, because I hate how a lot of the game-specific products can be so overpriced.
I saw somebody with the Stanley case at my LGS. It was super clever then and it's still super clever now lol. Gonna have to look into that camera bag though.
Gosh, i have one of those dewalt boxes. I didn't even think about the corners. I'll have to swap my cube to a stanley. Thanks Prof!
You know if these products were made by card supply companies, they'd cost twice as much. Good ideas for using normal stuff for gaming.
Love all of these solutions! I would also recommend the Apache #63927 from harbor freight. Extremely heavy duty and waterproof, and can hold 12 Boulder 100+ cases.
I got the same one.
I can vouch for its durability.
Oh yeah you can kick the shit out of one of those and it won't break. You really have to try to even damage one.
So the Stanley fatmax does not fit a Boulder 100+?
Cause i already have the Stanley toolbox but id like to order 100+ boulders
My wife and I both play magic together and she saw your video, immediately went to home depot and got the stanley 12 (10?) compartment toolbox. It works GREAT! Wonderful for our library/collection or storing decks, tokens, dice, you name it! So happy with it and the removable nature is extremely handy. Thanks for the review! (PS I have a fibromyalgia and the full toolbox was so heavy it sprained my wrist! So be careful and use two-hands when it's full! Very sturdy construction!)
That Stanley deck box is perfect I need to get one
Paul Wade it’s fantastic works so well for mtg it’s almost perfect
As a new magic player with a growing collection, this is an incredibly useful video. Thank you!
With all due respect, dear professor: Keep the beard!
Kyosean i am an advocate of beards, but not on the prof’s face 😞
I understand. My comment was also a roundabout way of denoting that this time, unlike the beard we saw months ago; is a beard looks much nicely groomed. As a bearded Docent myself, I'm happy so see this. K, bye!
That Stanley box is exactly what I need, not because of budget constraints, but because our playgroup has shifted to where on many nights, I bring a large arsenal of commander decks and we all play from my collection. I've been using an ammo box from my local hardware store that holds about 6 decks (we also store our cube in one), but I'm about to inherit the collection of a friend who doesn't really play magic anymore, and I'll need to upgrade my storage capacity when I do.
I use the Milwaukee brand version of the tool box. It has double sized buckets so you can fit satin towers in them. Plus tons of counters accessories and other stuff. I took one row of buckets out and put two tubes with playmats in it with pens paper etc. my son and I play in pods so I can bring that and nothing else is needed. It has 4 commander decks in satin towers, life counters, 2 play mats, bags of dice, bags of glass bead counters, pens paper, and extra space to put smaller card boxes to hold cards from wins or cards for trade. Super durable, and water resistant. Been using it for over a year and I’m hard on it, looks new. Home Depot has them sometimes on sale for 17.00 I got two for the extra buckets so I could customize it more.
D Carncr could you be a kind soul and link me to the kind you use? I have so many satin towers and that would be a great fit for me.
Billable www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-10-Compartment-Red-Deep-Pro-Small-Parts-Organizer-225046/205847797
Billable they are also stackable so if you get a couple you can connect them. They only come with two double compartment trays so you need to get 2 of them to hold 4 satin towers. I took the third bottom row out to fit playmat tubes and have 4 long trays to fit 4 towers.
D Carncr nice thank you so much
I found something different-the All-Media Artist’s Sketch Box from Hobby Lobby. 25 bucks but it can hold all of my magic stuff, and they have a free 40% off coupon so it is about 16 bucks. Durable and looks fantastic , and easy to pack up. Can even hold a monster brand binder
Amazing work professor! We need many more videos like this, catering to people who can't reach a local game store or looking for affordable quality items! Bravo!
Amazing video prof. Definitely going to spend some cash on the Stanley.
13:37 location of a very cool EDH wooden deckbox.....coincidence?
The lighting looks great holy crap!
Thanks. I tried a new setup just to shake things up and then I got nervous I had gone too far. haha.
Tolarian Community College not at all. I enjoy seeing more of your room. It feels more personably
I swear by that Stanley tool organizer! I always make sure to credit you when asked about it. I keep 15 of my most played decks in it. It's tough, easy to carry, and affordable! I've been using it since this video came out and I bought one. I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you Professor!
I don't comment often, but I love this video. I would like to see more things like this. Things from outside of the hobbies eyes that get missed or overlooked because it wasn't "made" for TCGs. Thanks Professor.
After watching this video, I went right to my local Lowe’s and picked up the Stanley organizer. Being able to have so many MtG and Pokémon cards in one nice case is a huge plus for when I’m gaming on the go. Thank you for posting quality videos and keeping a passion for the games going!
With all honestly. For all my years of player Card games. I never thought a camera bookbag would be that great for transporting and carrying deck boxes. For years I hated hearing the rattling and crashing of my deck boxes against each other. Thank You Professor. You opened my eyes for sure great products. Especially the book bag. Thankyou and love all your content
"Dual flippin' tray"
Did Rudy help with the script?
Pre-emptive: Yes, I know it's Flip 'n Tray
I've heard only good things about the Stanley Toolbox. Thank you for the review! Nice to see and hear your thoughts on them, as well as the other items. I keep meaning to pick up one of the Stanleys, but haven't gotten around to doing so. May just have to fix that this weekend! Anyway, great video!
as a player on a budget this was extremely helpful. thanks prof!
I appreciate the effore of you putting a glass window behind you just so you could break it with a bag of cards. That's some dedication right there.
"More counters than you'll ever need"
* Laughs in Jace and proliferation*
Many thanks for recommending the Stanley case! I found something similar, the correct Stanley product isn't easily available in Finland, unfortunately. But your video peaked an interest to get something suitable for card storage, something more robust than cardboard storage boxes.
Man, that toolbox looks perfect for storing my pauper gauntlet.
My thoughts exactly :D
Haven’t watched anything on Magic for maybe a couple of years now but this popped up and watched it during Lunch. Very impressed on how far you’ve come teach. Great video! Congrats 😊👌
When I was in middle school, I carried my cards in a plastic bag with a rubber band on the outside...
It was Kentucky and we didn't have those fancy deck boxes.
392Muscle I know the feeling, I'm from ky too, we did that all the time when I was little lol
Professor, I have been a long time subscriber and I just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. I work with a very tight budget, so when I save to buy supplies for my Yu-Gi-Oh cards, then what I buy has to be carefully considered for my needs, the quality of the item, and the price. Your videos have long helped me to decide on these issues. For example, my Dex 4-pocket binder that is reserved for only my most precious of cards that are for my personal collection and not trades or display, is something that I would never have obtained if not for these videos. Additionally, I just placed an order for the Dragon Shield Nest Deck Box, as your videos again helped me to decide on getting a new deck box for my main and more expensive deck. So again, I offer to you my thanks, and look forward to many more videos. :)
So when I looked up the toolbox online it's actually slightly different it does only have 10 compartments and 2 compartments are double size any way I could get a link to the exact version you purchased?
I'm pretty sure he picked up the same one you're looking at. When he got it a Home Depot, someone probably opened it up and swapped out the two large from his and replaced it with 4 small from theirs because they wanted more large compartments. I've purchased two of these myself and both came with 2 larger compartments. They fit 3 60 card ultra pro decks sideways perfectly tho.
@@Legion8511 ^this^
I'm using mine for my Ravnica Guild Kit battle box, my EDH deck, and my 2 Modern decks, as well as dice and tokens. So, for 60 card decks, having the 2x wide compartments actually allows you to carry more decks, because 60 card decks take up just barely over half of one of the smaller compartments, and the 2x wide compartments also don't have space loss from the compartment walls in between, meaning you can actually fit 3 sleeved guild kits, sleeved and in their box, as well as the spin down dice they came with, in one compartment.
Stanley case is great especially if you love deck building I take the dividers out and just use ultra pro deck boxes it houses 20x 80 count boxes, not sure how many 100 counts it will house, you can leave some empty for dice and counters or use some dividers, you can also fold a playmat and lay it across the boxes and it will still close perfectly the playmat actually gives it some cushioning, absolutely my favorite and reasonably priced at all home depot's 👍🏽👍🏽
Also if you don't like the Stanley sticker it will leave sticker gunk if you peel it off, but you can use organic paint thinner and scrub it off with a rag that's what I did anyways it doesn't damage it, but maybe there's other techniques
Hey Professor, I think the Stanley carrying case is suppose to be 10-components. As I looked it up for purchase, every picture showed 8 small cubbies, and 2 larger ones. I think you got super lucky with a manufacture loading mistake. But you could always buy two, swap out the larger ones with 4 smaller ones from another, then return the one with the larger components.
Pinkie Pie that's what I did. That one also has a little lip for labeling
You are right - I have one too and it comes with 2 large compartments and 8 small ones. Maybe prof got lucky and there's someone out there who wanted 4 large compartments and swapped with the one he got.
It's also 40 Euros here in Germany on Amazon :/
yeah i'm getting the same when i look it up
Just went and bought one myself, and can confirm that Prof probably just got lucky with the all small boxes (looked through all available ones at the store, all had 10 total boxes). Still, some double size ones might be nice for holding things like tokens and dice if you need a lot of them, and they're big enough to hold a Satin Tower if you want to double box your cards for some reason. Alternatively, the case itself is also JUST long enough to hold a playmat in a case if you take out a row of boxes, leaving you with up to 7 slots and a place for your playmat if you don't plan on being rough enough to displace the remaining cubbies.
Great video and a welcome perspective my dude - additional thought I had? The blank top/covers of the binders and the toolbox shown here are perfect for stickers and decals, they could be decorated and embelished to be just as cool as MtG-designed products.
To anyone who is curious, the Stanley tool organizer box is definitely worth every penny.
I've been needing a new bag and this was perfect! Just purchased mine. Thanks for great advice as always and keep up the great content.
Yooo, that Stanley box is actually genius.
This video was such a huge help. I've been looking for a way to transport my decks to and from my brother's house which is a few states away. I can't thank you enough. I'm a huge fan of your videos. Keep up the great content.
Liking the new office setup prof!
+Chonjae pabo same setup, new camera position and lighting. Was an experiment, glad to hear you liked it!
Really?! it looks completetly different to me, maybe my memory sort of just sucks but still! Keep up the Great work!
Aww man, that Stanley case is awesome. Reminds me of my own card plastic cases that had a handle and a top area to put cards and dice in. Then the main box had a lot of room with card index's. They don't make them any longer, but it was the best, I still have one, but it's old.
They don’t sell that same Stanley anymore
I got the Stanley case a while ago to help with sorting Lego pieces and storing them while not building stuff. Later saw someone bring it to Magic night to store a dozen Pauper decks - it's quite versatile!
Damn, the Stanley 10 compartment is like 42 AUD at my local Bunning's.
This video helped me massively. I ended up getting the Amazon Camera bag and it's been great for Magic but I also recently got into photography and so it's been great for both, especially my recent trip to GP Denver. Thanks Prof!
I’m digging the beard Prof!
I have a portable tool chest/lockbox that I bought from Harbor Freight years ago that has latches you can lock with a small key. I've been using it ever since I destroyed the cloth and foam Ultra Pro bag that is sold at most LGSs. Those only held 10-12 deckboxes and some dice. This one that I bought can hold up to 28 normal sized deckboxes! I was super thrilled with it because I have a ton of decks that I always had to carry around in multiple bags to many different places.
If you're thinking about getting something to hold your deckboxes, and not just your cards, look into getting a tool lockbox. They are usually modular with some foam cutouts or plastic slats that you can adjust to fit the configuration that you like best. It has been one of the best investments I've made to protecting and securing my cards when transporting them .
you should do a new updated version, the Stanley tool box is much harder to find nowadays and the amazon camera bag is now $42
Please prof!
If you have a harbor freight tool near you, they sell a clone of that stanley box, and it's 13.99 (today). Should work just as well.
Stanley discontinued the 10 bin Organizer. You can find a near identical clone from PerforMax one from Menards for $16.99 and the quality is excellent.
@@Whiplash47 I just ordered one from Home Depot they didn’t discontinue it
One of the guys in our commander group has been using a Stanley for as long as I've known him (which isn't that long, but still..). Anyways, great video, Prof!
Found this video in 2023 where this thing is like $38 now😂😂
Came here in April of 2024, yup it’s expensive lol. Might as well buy an ultimate guard or something at this point.
Harbor freight has a similar one for 12 dollars
In store they are cheaper than online
I'm watching this 4 years later. I'm blown away by how fast time goes by. He only recently got this office too when this was produced
Insert Homelands Depot joke here.
filpaul the clerk named Ihsan is quite helpful
I dunno. He's always throwing shade at me.
He's quite the edgelord, but even if he looks like it, he must not be very Serra about it.
I think he's an ex-con because he's always talking bout his Shiv.
As his Dark Confidant, i can assure you no blackblades of any kind have been reforged nor carried by my client.
I really like the Stanley box, that holds so much! Thanks for this video, Professor!
Hey professor, I know this is an older video but I was wondering what Commander decks you currently have in your arsenal that you play?
I've just today played my very first mtg tournament and I need to thank you. I've played mtg before, but always way too casually. This time, with the advent of challenger decks, I was able to build a playable deck quickly and it was A experience. I didn't have this much fun playing a game for a long time. Thanks to your tips and insights I was able to learn a lot in little time and perform very well. Thank you, professor. I love what you do here on this channel and especially your vlogs/IRL content (about being an adjunct professor; Q&As with your dad; IRL stories; etc.). Thanks for choosing such a hard path. If you'd like a challenge, I'd ask you to try and make IRL gameplay content that's not only nice, but "pedagogic" to watch, because that's one of the biggest challenges a tcg youtuber may face. If someone can do it, I believe it's you. Thanks for being such a good influence, and, even though I don't think you'll read this, the first day I'm able to, I'll register on patreon and support your work right there and then. Once again - and borderlining obnoxiousness - : thank you.
I bought a Stanley commander deck holder, but it came with two long compartments, not just the small ones
That is how it is sold but you can remove the two longer slotted trays for smaller trays which he does not explain in the video.
Another suggestion for storing/ displaying decks at home are the Modular Flip-Out Bins from the container store. They can be attached to each other to build a bank of display drawers that you can organize decks, or even planned decks on a shelf or even hang it on the wall.
Son of a….somebody at Stanley caught on because now it’s $40 lol.
Supplyworks by Home Depot has them for $20 with a $10 handling fee for orders under $150. So $20-$30 each depending on how many you get. I'm still torn on getting it, because I imagine those notches on the lid could cause pressure points if it got flipped upside down for some reason.
Funny you posted this today. I was just thinking earlier about a box I have been using at FNM since Innistrad. It's an old tie box with a padded top that holds a 75 card deck box (plus tokens) and a bunch of dice and counters to boot. Goes to show you don't always have to spend money for specialty items when you can get a box as packaging for a snazzy tie.
Why am I even watching this I only have like 60 cards
I love this change of pace. I used to use a fishing tackle box for my tokens, dice, and heroclix. It wasn't quite big enough to hold a sleeved deck but when you removed the bait dividers you could have a stack of maybe 40 basic lands in one spot, 40 trade fodder, 40 tokens, and then separate dice trays. The bag held 4 three ring binders and 2 small tackle boxes and was water tight, durable, and had great rugged handles. I bought it at an outdoors sporting goods store
Wow, prof is looking great with a beard.
Thanks!
I just bought the Stanley toolbox for my Pokémon World Championship decks I collect. This box is amazing for almost 2,000 cards. Brought it to my locals and people started asking me where do I get it. A couple of them when directly to Home Depot. Thanks for the review, Professor.
If I took out a row of those cups could I fit a playmat in there horizontally?
I bought the Stanley. Yes you can fit a play mat in there horizontally. Also make sure you get the version of the Stanley in the video. Stanley makes boxes that have the angled cups. Thanks prof!
Thank you! Been a long time since I was able to play in an LGS and a lot has changed. These videos are a bank account saver
DeWalt! It is pronounced De-WALT!
+Hunter Kauffman De-what?
DeWalt has the highest quality battery powered tools there are. They are the Ferrari of drills...the Rolex of circular saws.
The most powerful drills... unless you're in a store that also sells Milwaukee
Came here to say this too, lol. Also Milwaukee is the best at everything they do, Dewalt, while decent, isn't half as good as Milwaukee products.
suprised nobodies mentioned rigid yet, they've treat me well for years now
I used to use Terry's chocolate orange boxes as deck boxes when I first started playing, they are the perfect size to fit a 60 card sleeved deck.
The price of this heavy duty box, really shows how overpriced gaming accessories are. This is a lot more and a lot more durable plastic than in a 10 dollar deck box from any official brand.
I have to agree with you, and everyone else it seems, that Stanley case looks amazing!
I've been looking at building some battle boxes, and it looks like the perfect way to store them.
I'm especially excited to see you go over the camera bag, I've been wandering if you had forgotten saying you'd review one!
Anyone have a link to that Stanley Box? All I'm finding is the 10 compartment one that has two double size yellow boxes and 8 of those "deck" size boxes.
I'm looking for the same thing rip
The prof got lucky with finding a mis filled one. They are supposed to have 8 single and 2 double size compartments. But the double six ones are great for dice, glass beads, pens, life pads and other life counters.
Just bought a Magellan Reese backpack for $30 from Academy Sports. It's an online only item it seems but it's very high quality for the price and a full size backpack. It has a laptop sleeve which is great for my binder and is currently holding 3 commander decks and 2 standard decks and they aren't stacked on top of each other.
This video was a great idea Prof. This could be a series in itself to help new players with cheap alternatives to storage.
I bought my storage boxes from Ikea.
I have been looking for a decent way to transport my decks and that box looks perfect. I wish I knew of this AGES ago. Amazing. Simple.
Can anyone send me a link to the right Stanley case online. I can't find the same model

Tolarian Community College I found it for $14 at walmart
Sam Miller thanks
Those all have 2 large boxes in them now.
The Stanley compartment organiser is a game changer. I've got 4 now! My little tip for the community is, use UG 100+ softshell deck boxes (or equivalent), they fit perfectly in each compartment and provide added protection for more peace of mind. Also the free cardboard deck boxes that come with a lot of precon decks also often work a treat. Hopefully it helps someone. Shout out to the Professor for always looking out for us :)
Least believable faux-laugh ever (^_-)
This channel is so good. Like he's such a genuinely nice, polite, and professional dude.
Yep. The Prof. is great. He definitely helped me to stay with magic when I became frustrated at various points.
"ha ha hahaha ha"
Love this review of the Stanley. I asked you to do a review of these before and I’m so glad you did. Probably going to pick it next week.
