Reddit mentions of Ultra Pro Magic/Pokemon/YuGiOh Cards Deck Boxes, Set of 5 (Red, Blue, Green, Black and White))

I like to save money by repurposing things, but just a heads up that boxes for cards really aren't that expensive. Right now on Amazon you can buy a pack of 5 Ultra Pro deck boxes for $8.50 with prime shipping.

Mayday ''Standards'' and Ultimate Guard ''Premium'' are some almost-a-penny soft sleeve lines. But I cannot honestly recommend using soft sleeves.

KMC Perfect Fits/Size are a touch more sturdy and thick, but still relatively thin. I can recommend these, but they are meant to be the inner when double sleeving, so they won't totally cover the top edge of the card though.

However, my method is use proper sleeves and toss out the inserts and if necessary move to deck boxes. Options include small, medium, large, also large. Links for example. May not represent the best price and certainly do not represent the only options.

Edit: Obligatory BGG Card Sleeve Sizes for games link. A great resource.

I’ve been using the following products:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XYC3MNI?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf as a general carrying case for all my cards. It has enough room for cards and has some nice Velcro dividers. For premade decks, I use these:

The deck sleeves fit in the case a little snug, but they don’t bend the cards Best I can tell. So far satisfied with my purchase.

(Hope 3rd time post will bypass whatever is going on with reddit servers.)


I use Ultra Pro Deck Boxes and buy them in bulk. You can store specific types of cards in a different colored box. They hold a lot of cards sleeved and unsleeved. They're cheap. And pretty durable.


Ultra Pro Deck Box 5 Set -- $8.38

I have my stored in a couple of these. One contains the player cards and bits to play the game. The other is encounter cards and the scenario pamphlets. Had I to do over, I'd probably just get one of the 4 or 5 row boxes. It fills up fast.

Within the box, I organize using the cheap Ultra-Pro deck boxes and team bags

It's these cheap ones

Probably if you're talking about the thin plastic ones like this... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074DVF48M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505018810&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ultra+pro+deck+box&dpPl=1&dpID=417yKdxbkgL&ref=plSrch
My BCW boxes fit fine. I did grab a few of the Pirate Lab deckboxes. They come in sets of 5 and fit perfectly. That being said, I'm sure ultra pros fit.

It is These and These.

You will be tempted to buy up big boxes of bulk. I was told I shouldn't, but I did anyway. I figured I could take what I got and make crappy decks, then buy singles to fix them up. While I got some cards that were useful, it was only a fraction of what I got.

Although the decks on this list are all standard legal, they are great for any casual player and are all around $20 each. I really liked this list from Core 2019, too. The M19-only decks are mostly around $10, so they should give you plenty of value.

You can also consider Card Kingdom's Battle Decks. These are non-standard legal decks that are specially made by Card Kingdom with an eye toward balance and casual play. Many of them are out of stock right now, but you should be able to find a few to experiment with.

For non-card purchases, I like these cheap deck boxes for new players to store casual decks (here's a 5-pack instead of the 10-pack). They'll fit nicely inside your bundle box. You might even fit two unsleeved decks in each box. If you want sleeves, KMC is a good value/quality proposition. If you're not too rough, Ultra Pro Matte (not Deck Protector) sleeves are good, too, and a bit cheaper. However, keep in mind the cost of sleeves versus the cost of replacement. I didn't start sleeving my cards until I started building my own decks with cards that had some value to them. Honestly, I'd stick to buying cards until you run out of room in your bundle box and need more storage.
