Commander Deck Boxes
Economics forum
Posted on Jan. 13, 2014, 2:56 p.m. by Magiclover318
I just bought the Naya premade commander deck, and I want a box that fits all the cards and includes sleeves. Will you give me suggestions about brands that will include a box and sleeves?
UltraPro makes a clear, hard plastic deck box that works pretty well. They're like $3 at Walmart and I would assume most LGSs would carry them

I searched for them on there, but was unsure if they came with sleeves... I just wanna get both together, for some reason I think I heard guys from my local fnm saying that they got them all together.
Nice on the Game of Thrones sleeves :D

There are some sleeve/deck box combos that have been available, for example Modern Masters Deck Box w/ Sleeves whihc has 80 sleeves.
But for the most part, sleeves and deck boxes are sold separately, A lot of players prefer Dragonshield sleeves with this deck box which costs about 30 dollars in total, 10 for the sleeves, 20 for the deck box, you can get it cheaper all the way around by looking at different boxes and sleeves.

I don't know about buying the box and sleeves together, but Dragon Shield has a sturdy plastic commander box. They come in different colors to match their sleeve colors (which come in boxes of 100 plus a few extras). I haven't seen the box and sleeves packaged together, but if you buy them both you'll have a nice matching set. They aren't expensive - less than $5 for the box.
Here's an example of what they look like:http://www.arcanetinmen.dk/products/gaming-boxes

I buy a box of dragonsleeves, and one of those clear deckboxes ultrapro releases, so it costs a little under 15 after taxes. I didn't care for the towers save for the dice compartment.

If you want a pretty deckbox, the ultrapro Mana Flip boxes are sweet. Theyre also quite durable. My favorite, however, are the ultrapro satin boxes. http://www.ultrapro.com/product_info.php?products_id=1553http://www.thewarstore.com/media/UPR/UPR82893.jpg

Ultra Pro has some nice double deck boxes that will hold a sleeved EDH deck, but I would personally steer clear of the fake leather Ultra Pro box. It looks nice but because the magnet that keeps is closed isn't very strong so if you accidently turn it upside down or it falls, all of your cards will get dumped on the floor.

That green one is nice - they have a whole range of them - but they come with a high price.

What are you talking about "A high price"? We are magic players! We throw hundreds of dollars at pieces of cardboard! 10 bucks for pleather and a magnet is nothing.

I second the The_Wizard, even if you 'play on a budget', you've dumped enough money in already D:

If you're really strapped for cash, just get a pack of penny sleeves and stick the deck in a fat pack box.
I usually sleeve my edh decks in dragonshields (1 box will sleeve a whole deck), and store them in fat pack boxes. Conveniently a fat pack box will hold three fully sleeved commander decks, with a little room on the sides for your commanders in toploaders.

I'm not really strapped for cash, I usually buy dragonshields and I just checked, the commander deck boxes are $13.99 at my lgs :D I am buying one of those along with dragonshields I think.

Magiclover318 word of the wise, the commander boxes aren't as nice as they seem, and they are huge. Not worth the money imo.

Not sure on both together, but single wise: The best sleeves I got buying two 50 count Game of Thrones sleeve packs. And I've actually seen MTG official Commander boxes. There are also some nice ones atwww.starcitygames.com
