Card Cases

This is like the third or fourth time you posted this. Just use a fanny pack.

>>48601171
Rubber band + zip-lock.

Just put it in my pocket. When I left the sleeves out they fit better there.

I have one ultrapro case and one case the sleeves came in that I use to carry my best two decks but I usually use plastic sandwich bags to hold them.

>>48601266
>bags of cards

Oh /tg/, I love you guys.

>>48601171
Same. I bought the full size Piratelabs case, and then when they restocked the inserts you have pictured there I picked that up too. Carries something like 7 or 8 Commander decks double-sleeved, all my Planechase/Archenemy cards, plus room for my dice and shit. It's a really good bag.

>>48601385
I did the same thing. I bought mine early on and when they released the three row inserts, so picked one up. I love it. So much easier when you can just pick a deck from a line up and not have to rummage through a bag for the deck.

Also, I too have Planechase cards and I actually like it too. It's a nice change of pace ever so often. I especially like it in commander.

>>48602099
Yeah, it's a welcome change from what I did before. I started out just using deckboxes (Ultra Pro cheap ones at first, then the mana symbol boxes when I got into EDH), and then it got to the point where I'd have 2 Fat Pack boxes with 3 EDH decks each, then another 2 mana symbol boxes with a deck each, and then another mana symbol box with tokens, all in a messenger bag. It was irritating. Picked up the Holiday Gift Box for Ravnica, and that held all my EDH decks, but it was getting beaten up in my bag.

>>48601171
>>48602129
>>48602099
Why don't you just bring less decks?

>>48602129
After getting the large case, I don't know how anyone could fuck with bags anymore. I even bought one for my buddy and he loves the shit out of it.

>>48602145
Why though? I have a pretty large play group and regularly go to my LGS which has a shit ton of people. I much prefer having a large selection based on what anyone else is playing.

>>48602145
Honest answer, I like having a bunch of decks to choose from. When I go to the shop to play Commander I'm usually there for most of the afternoon, and I like being able to change decks every few games and having a lot of options.

>>48602184
Really? I thought commander decks usually cost around $200 each at minimum. Are you seriously lugging around thousands of dollars worth of cards?

>>48602263
You say that with some kind of incredulity like people at a coffee shop don't have an 800 dollar laptop and a 600 dollar phone on their person.

>>48602263
You can start off small and upgrade. My current EDH decks started out at around $30 and I'm upgrading them over time to get to that $200-300 range.

>>48601171
Isn't that thing like $60? I use an HP Laptop case that holds a dragon vault, a playmat (with tube), a leather hard drive case I use for dice, and two other standard size deck boxes

>>48602360
Yeah, around 60, but it's worth every cent if you ask me. It lies flat on a table so I can open it and grab exactly what deck I need, my shit doesn't shift around, the tray comes out so I can swap inserts easily. I used to do "laptop bag fulla boxes" and after this I'd never go back.

>>48602263
Not the same anon, but I have a shitty all foil deck that's worth $900+ alone.

>>48601171
My cards are kept in a haphazard pile, in a large box, in my basement.

I keep my sleeved decks in a fatpack box (fits three sleeved decks + spin down counters and a small dice bag), for easy travel.

>>48601171
I desperately need a case to carry my decks around in. What do most of you guys use?
I especially need this for travelling

>>48602403
Prime example of throwing money away.

I have a messenger bag kind of backpack that fits my decks, my mats, my dice, etc. and has a bunch of pockets for organizing. My brother and I both play, but all the cards are at my place, so anytime we go to play I have to pack the relevant decks, which if we're going to play EDH can be upwards of six or seven decks.

>>48602465
Just out them all in a briefcase padded in foam.

>>48602530
tg is a board based on throwing money away.
Why do you even have hobbies if you believe this.
You should be spending your free time maximizing your ability for financial gain and minimizing your waste if you truly have that opinion.

>>48602530
The fuck do you care what other people do with their money?

He could have the non-foil version for a tenth of the price of that. But no, he decided he liked a slightly shinier deck and wasted over $800 on pumping it out. That's wasting money.

>>48602658
>Unsleeved Tarbernacle
THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

>>48602465
OP and another anon have the Pirate Lab large card case with 3-row pockets. Should be about $70-$75 with shipping included.

>>48602682
I have 400 dollars sitting in my "Shit to make Anon Happy" account right now.

By your logic, if I bought 4 100 dollar foil cards, I am 'wasting my money' because I could have bought those same cards non-foil for half the price (very few foils are worth ten times the price of a nonfoil). So let's run with that- let's say I bought those cards at 50 dollars each, so I have 200 left.

I then go spend that 200 dollars on a long call with a phone sex line, or several Revoltechs, or some new parts for my PC, or dump it into Steam games, or a myriad of other things.

How is spending that 200 dollars on "different" hobbies not wasting it, but spending it on Magic is? It's my money. I'll spend it how I want.

>>48602701
That thing is sleeved, a perfect fit sleeve.

>>48602682
except its not, magic cards are very close to a liquid asset. He could easily post the cards on that deck individually on TCG player and in a week recoup around 80% of his investment.
Possibly even make money depending on when he bought/sold.

He also got enjoyment out of the process of building and playing the deck, which in his eyes was worth whatever financial cost her incurred.

I don't understand why you are so hostile to someone spending money on a hobby that they enjoy, yet you come to a board based on rather costly hobbies.

>>48602719
Do you know what>>48602658 and >>48602647 uses?

>>48602682
Actually, I had more than half the deck foil already. So, I decided to foil out the entire deck. I probably spent only $300 on the deck total. It's just worth $900+ at the moment.

>>48602734
>very few foils are worth ten times the price of a nonfoil)
Every foil basic land ever disagrees with you.

>>48602719
And it is WORTTTTTTTTH.

>>48602736
Not the same anon. Perfect fits are meant to be the inner selves of double sleeving. Do this.

It's one of the few things I double-sleeve.

>>48602749
Okay, a dollar versus 10 cents. You've got me there.

Let me rephrase that: Cards that are worth more than a fucking dollar usually do not see a tenfold increase in their price when foil.

>>48602755

If you're double-sleeving one card in a deck, you have to double-sleeve all of them. Only double-sleeving certain cards is Marked Cards.

You can't tell the difference between a double sleeved card and a single sleeved card if they all use the same outer sleeve, unless you're holding the thing while holding other single-sleeved cards. Stop being a sperg.

buy me extra sleeves then.

>>48602858
If you can tell the difference at all, ever, without looking at the front, then you can tell the fucking difference.

Go ask gA.

>>48602789
Actually this anon here >>48602804 is correct. If you look at the top of the sleeves, you can clearly see the only double sleeved card. And it is considered cheating. Don't be poor, just double sleeve the entire deck and get the appropriate box to fit it in. Preferably a satin tower. They are pretty nice.

Look, I'm the guy who usually lets people know that one double sleeve is marked cards. I also do tend to recommend the satin towers. But the key is, it doesn't actually fucking matter. I tell people to warn them about people like you. I bet you start the proxy arguments that ruin threads, too.

How is double-sleeving only a part of your deck remotely as bad as your example ?

>>48603416
That's not cheating. Now if I double sleeved all my lands and none of my creatures that would be different. But you're throwing a shit fit over someone wanting to protect their expensive card without making it so that they can't shuffle their deck.

>>48603435
Tell me how double sleeping one card is equal to throwing the base rules of a game out the window and playing with 20 card hands and free spells? Calm down Youre just a sperg

>>48603523
You're picking and choosing which rules to ignore because you can't be fucked to play the game right.

>>48603581
If you can tell any of your cards apart from the others, then the deck isn't randomized. Only double-sleeving ONE card is the same as 'only' having one of your cards sleeved at all and the rest unsleeved, or the opposite, or having all but one card in black sleeves and the remaining one in red.

If you can tell your cards apart, then they are Marked, which ranges from "Warning, fix it" to "Disqualification" in a tournament.

>>48603639
Tbh dude why don't you buy sleeves then double sleeve my deck if it bothers you so much. Besides, pauper tournaments? You wish.

>>48603657
I'm sorry, since when is it your opponent's responsibility to make sure you properly sleeve your deck? Do you want me to wipe your ass for you, too?

Also, I rather hope you're not bringing Tabernacle to a Pauper event.

>>48603657
Because an option exists to fix this problem without anyone buying anything. Either all of your cards need to be double-sleeved, or none of them.

>>48603713
Now tell me which one is double sleeved when I stack them together.

>>48603713
Answer: bottom left
>>48603732
Answer: Second from the bottom

>>48603732
Second from the top.

Now take a pic of the open sides.

>>48603713
Dude, if you don't believe me that double-sleeving "just one card' counts as marked cards, ask gA.

Also, there's more to go off of in an event than just a static picture. I can see the cards from different angles, I can check how thick they are or how much they weigh. If you can tell a card apart from the others without looking at the face of it, it's marked.

>>48603713
Cardsharps can tell the difference between face cards and value cards by WEIGHT.

Doublesleeving is cheating, plain and simple.

>>48603713
Second from the left, top row.

Second from the top.

Now tell me that they feel the same, because that would be an utter lie.

>>48603874
>>48603875
>>48603927
>>48603949
Actually, the top four in both pics are double sleeved.

>>48603978
No shit it's the top 4. Do you not see how much fucking thicker the cards are than the bottom ones? You really expect me to believe that you can't see how that's Marked?

>>48603978
If someone can't easily see it, but it's obvious when you're touching the cards, that just means it's more effective cheating.

>>48603978
You liar. Anon that posted the pics here. None are double sleeved and you're all hyped over looking for nothing.

>>48604199
Even if they aren't double sleeved, you've got some wild inconsistencies with thickness in that stack.

>>48603134
Dude. Me too. Both toes, both sides of the nail. It was brutal.

>>48604242
I'm guessing it's because the weight of the cards above them pushes the sleeves closed. Notice how all the wide ones are at the very top.

>>48603978
You should be double sleeving every deck you own. Just because they aren't worth as much doesn't mean you shouldn't protect them. You'd be furious if you have to buy a new deck because you or one of your buddies tipped a drink over onto the board.

>>48604328
I have never seen the 'weight' of four fucking cards close sleeves that tight.

A mesh book bag. The actual cards are in penny sleeves and plastic deck boxes, so they're well protected on their own.

I opted for a mesh bag since store owners tend to be suspicious of anyone carrying a bag into their stores. At least this way they can easily ascertain the fact that I'm not pocketing any $4 booster packs, so they'll be less likely to harass me when I leave.

People are retardedly belligerent here in the South, and will assume anyone who walks into their store has a propensity to commit petty theft. There are some stores you just have to avoid entirely, and unfortunately that was the case for one of the older local game stores in my city.

>>48611790
No, but The Professor has a review of one or two of them, I think. I want to say that he did not think we'll of them. That the price for one did not reflect the cheap quality of the Grimoire.

Though, that's if I'm recalling it correctly. I might not be. Just look up Tolarian Community College deck box reviews.

>>48615628
Thank you, I assume you're talking about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uciXA2tQ-Gw

The major problems he had with it appeared to be the quality of the materials and the use of a magnet to keep it closed. The newer ones use a latch instead now, so that's no longer a problem. However, after seeing just how truly massive the thing is (it's capable of storing those massive magnetic deck boxes on their sides) I think I'm definitely going to look for something else. There's no way that thing is fitting in my backpack.

What's a good website to buy KMC perfect fit sleeves? None of my FLGS's carry them for some reason, just some Korean knockoff that only fits YuGiOh cards

This cheapish plastic toolbox from Walmart was originally purchased to hold Large or Huge DnD minis (the pre-painted plastic kind) but our group stopped using them in favor of printed tokens on plastic bases. The box holds up to 18 standard ultrapro deck boxes if you arrange them sleverly. I store tokens, spare sleeves and a dry erase marker for counters in an ultrapro dual deck box which is oddly sized (about twice as big as two deck boxes, but not the same dimensions for some reason) and I usually leave room for a can of soda or something, so I only have room for 14 normal deck boxes. The lid has two small compartments that hold small things, one of which holds a pack of playing cards in case I find myself needing to play an emergency game of Solitaire.
