Watching that 800+ shake test was legitimately nerve wracking. Props to Ultimate Guard.
It was great seeing Prof put some real effort into shaking it open. UG has been my no.1 box option since they came on the scene. The Katana sleeves could be improved though... too slippery and their thickness is inconsistent.
@@user-ep9sv4yg9i UWUTM8?
I was holding my breath! We magic players for sure don't want our stuff messed up, but its just as nerve wracking to see someone else's cards in danger. 😊
@@user-ep9sv4yg9i Are you in the right place? ahah
yes
"i'm so excited to see human beings again"
I feel that
Im not
I guess if its not at your workplace (as it is for me), you might feel positive about seeing other people.
@@registereduser I see coworkers every day and I'm still looking forward to seeing humans again. Work just doesn't count.
I visit my friends regardless of the pandemic. Mostly due to the fact we all work in the same department.
@@PopeGoliath I have a great job, but one of the cons is a good deal of it Is customer service. As I’m introverted by nature, I’m mentally exhausted most days and prefer solitude to socializing. That’s me though, mileage varies for others.
Not gonna lie, every time Prof squeezed the Toyger, I cringed HARD
Indeed
That toyger thing is complete and utter trash.
I agree, but it seemed like user error, like Prof didn't want it to work. Personally I just wouldn't want a box that shape.
Dito... I was VERY uncomfortable, watching this...
Same.
There's something so wholesome about the way the Professor gives thorough, honest reviews of products like this.
I think he has done the hands down most wholesome and friendly content for magic the gather ever! He's such a good person!
Proff is my comfort youtube for when I am really upset. His voice and antics make me feel so at home anf relaxed.
I like that he talks about the weird and crummy stuff too, but I just love the care this man puts into reviewing products in order to keep our cards safe from ourselves.
Love him
Prof has the reputation of being a decent human being and honest in what he does. qualities that tend to get rarer the older you get. it's refreshing to interact, even indirectly, with somebody you feel comfortable putting trust into. for some people more than others of course. for example, I haven't spent money on a magic product in close to four years, yet here i am watching this video. he's a good guy
...So the plan with the Toyger is to make the box more "compact" by adding two empty triangles of space. Well, it's certainly an idea.
It hadn't been done before not because no one had thought of it, it hadn't because it had been thought *about*.
If Lays can sell air, why can't Toyger?
What if you had 2 trays that are side bybside? Would that be better?
At $40 it successfully shrinks your wallet enough that you can't afford another deck...
@@thenewlollipopjam8248 at least Lays has bonus chips with the air
BABE WAKE UP NEW DECK BOX REVIEW DROPPED
Liliana of the Veil Body Pillow: "Zzzz...Give me 5 more minutes"
There's just something about the deck box reviews. I could watch them all day. GIMME THAT SHAKE TEST! I NEEDS IT!
Seeing cards 'snap' into place with the Toyger scares me >.>
I use the tried and true method for storing all my deck boxes: shoe boxes
I use the Star Wars original trilogy vhs box :p
Yeah
This method is being used since the beginning of times... it’s the ultimate method.
PS: I use it as my only one method!
Prof is your green sleeved test “deck” just a bunch of full art zendikar rising lands
I don't want to risk my actual decks any more.
@@TolarianCommunityCollege perfect time to tell everyone that that was actually your Sasaya, orochi ascendant deck lol. “Oh that’s why it looked like all lands”. Lol
@@TolarianCommunityCollege Technically, it's legacy lands! :P
@@DeadkingAZ and standard lands!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege or maybe the new meta favors 100% land decks..?
What I love most about The Professor is his professionalism, especially when he is making product reviews. I feel that these product reviews are wholeheartedly considered when companies look at upgrading their technology for their products, like the way we take them into consideration when buying a product. Thank you Prof and keep up the great and honest work.
definitely. i also appreciate in the case of something like the archive he recognizes the difference between storage and travel when giving his grades. If he treated the 800+ archive like he was taking in and out of the house, bringing it to an LGS or a friends house, I imagine it would receive a far worse grade, but it's not intended for that purpose.
@@SovereignwindVODs I agree. It would seem he looks at its intended purpose then checks its application and grades it accordingly. I personally believe they are honest and very high quality reviews.
Dude could make a deck video that's of a shitpost like the MTGGoldfish 34 rhinos deck and still have it come across as professional.
I missed these. I don't even buy cards or boxes. Just something about these is so relaxing.
I only buy based on these recommendations
I physically cringed when you were trying to close the Toyger and the cards weren’t cooperating and thus bending in place. Yikes!
Also, “Toyger” just reminds me of Austin Powers saying “toit like a toiger,” and that’s all I would ever hear when I heard the name.
Yes someone else is weird like me!
same! lol
Why do I even bother looking at UA-cam comments
@@kabelguy70 Boredom? Force of habit?
@@tomcove Complete lack of a will to live, maybe?
5:08 I want that box that holds 200 double-sleeved commander decks. Feels like a Deckbox of Holding
In such a tiny space! What's the secret? Cloud Storage?
I own a Toyger so I feel I've gotta give my two cents on it. I use it regularly to transport a single EDH deck (double sleeved)
It's the only deckbox I have that is slim enough to fit into my laptop bag without bulging out and creating a risky point that could be hit in transit and damage my laptop (which is what I would fear putting my standard deckbox of choice, the Boulder). In the video, the professor regularly pushes the Toyger open and closed using only the box to force the cards to slim down over and over and it looks really risky and I totally understand where people are coming from feeling super anxious. I always use my fingers to help guide the cards into the slim position. There is a 0% chance that any of the cards would ever take damage when folding them down that way. It's been a really great deckbox for specifically needing to fit a single EDH deck in my laptop bag. Is it the best deckbox I've ever owned? No, but does it offer a slim profile that is not available in any other deckbox on the market? Yes, it absolutely does.
I had a similar issue for taking a deck or two to work if I was going straight to the lgs from the office.
In the end I just went with a new bag instead as something like this gave me the absolute fear
Ended up with a great deadpool bag, ok I get odd looks as everyone else has the issue or similar laptop bags etc but I felt a better bag was a better compromise for me personally
That entire Toyger portion was pure torture
I see the professor really enjoyed torturing us with that god awful toyger “box”.
I take the prof’s advice and I have purchased and use the Ultimate Guard boxes and I love them
I'm buying the Toyger. I love the idea of a slim box. I've always hated how bulky a normal deck box is in my pack. It can also hold dice in the triangle part :D
My experience with the Arkhive 800: Don't rely on the snap falling into place automatically. If it's in place, it will hold pretty well, but make sure it's properly closed.
The Toyger just screams "I wasn't designed by TCG players."
Man, Ultimate Guard just always seems to nail products
Well.... It is the ultimate guard.....
I'll Show myself out
i currently use the quiver myself, just cus it's easier to carry instead of trying to shove 6 or 7 of the dual deck boxes into my backpack.
Yep. Boulders are the best when it comes to a simple box to protect a deck and you don’t need any extra bells and whistles
Was definately expecting the archive to crack open by the end. That's pretty impressive
Wasn't prepared to be hit in the feels when Prof said, "I'm so excited to see humans again!"
Fun fact: every card Prof tested the Toyger with was a Beta Black Lotus
That Toyger is stressing everyone out. It is probably evil profs preferred deck box.
The first deck box is giving me anxiety.
After watching the professors review of the quiver bolt I picked one up for 26$, that has been the best case I’ve purchased, let’s me take 3 commander decks, sideboard, tokens, and a variety of dice.
Me watching the tumbnail: "AMOGUS?!"
amogus
I'm still waiting for a Quiver like bag/case that has an integrated playmant tube holder/compartment. Basically the ultimate travel/play bag
Love the Craterhoof Behemoth in the background!! So cool!
Something something first. Keep up the hard work Prof! :D Nice to see the Ultimate Guard actually got the magnets right!
5:09 Wow Professor! Those really are compact if they hold 200 double sleeved commander decks!
5:10 WOAH, 200 Commander decks? I gotta get me a GameGenic!
Very thorough reviews wow. I was looking for someone to test out new deck boxes and binders sleeves etc this is wonderful keep up the great work
Love these reviews, Prof! Bought the Ultimate Guard Smarthive off the back of your review and couldn't be happier with it!
Ah yesh the cards are squeezed toight like a Toyger!
Prof should've had a smoke and a pancake too!
Toyger: Let's make an innovative deck box that collapses and slides your cards to make a cool shape.
Everyone: Aren't deck boxes supposed to protect my cards? This box slides, bends, and creases my cards.
Toyger: ... Doesn't it look cool though!
Your videos helped sell me on Ultimate Guard and many of their deck boxes and Binders, thank you!!
Perfectly timed as always, I've recently started looking into building my first Cube-and tree Arkhive looks to be a perfect fit.
Thank you!
What style of cube are you building?
I ended up making my box custom from black walnut, as it gave me exactly the size I wanted. Look up Burger Tokens, they have 15 card deck boxes that work great as 'booster packs'. I recently altered my cube's design into a hybrid of jumpstart and traditional drafting, and it is honestly much more fun to play. Good luck with making your first cube!
These videos always end up costing me money, but at least I know what I'm getting for that money. Thanx Prof, keep it up!
My face hurts from all the "oh god no!" feels from demonstrating the Toyger...
Professor, I got back into Magic about a week ago after a 9 year hiatus and found your channel when trying to find resources to help me jump back in. You have instantly become one of my favorite content creators. Your videos are honest, informative, and thoroughly entertaining. I hope one day, when we're allowed to be near people again, I get to play a game against you. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the amazing work!
I LOVE the Ultimate Guard Arkhive 400+. got eight of them to store cards from "one bundle/fatpack, one collector box and one set- or draft-display" from every edition I own. Wonderful product - feels good in the hand and is also an eye-catcher on the shelve
Me running up my spiral 100 step spiral staircase with my archive 800+ upside down giddy with joy to see friends. I mean that’s what I imagine in my head
I know that you test with double sleeved cards but what about the Dragon Shield sealable inner sleeves? There is a non inconsequential difference between the two styles.
I definitely second this question.
I plan on double-sleeving my Commander deck with DS Sealable Inners, and it would be really nice to know which deck boxes can accommodate the extra thickness.
I just enjoy hearing from you about new things!! Very educational and straightforward on everything! Glad I subbed!!!🙂😄😁
Love your input! After watching this I went out and bought an Arkhive 800!
Thanks for the helpful info!
"This is each holding two hundred double sleeved commander decks" Yo... where can I get some of those wormhole tech boxes?
If you need to store 200 commander decks, there might be other problems to solve :D
@@benjaminschomburg7746 i know right not enough decks lol
hee ho
AMOGUS HE MEMED ME IN THE THUNBNAIL
Thank you Prof for taking the time to review some more deck boxes and storage means. I Always look forward to your content!
Worth noting: the Toyger is very much designed for an asian market. The slimming of the deck box is to make sure your messenger bag stays as flat as possible for when you are in very crammed spaces like the train.
No water resistance and now ater resistant zipper is a big no-no for me for a carrying case for cardboard cards. I'd rate those GameGenic Game shell cases lower, pure for that.
I totally agree!
After owning a Quiver, this doesn't sound like an innovation - on the contrary, as a matter of fact.
I'm still waiting for a travel varient of the arkhive.
I always enjoy watching your accessory product reviews. Because of your recommendations, I am a proud owner of Ultimate Guard Boulder Deck Boxes and Arkhives. Dragonshield inner sealable and matte sleeves. Dragonshield Codex and zipped binders. And all purchased at my LGS with the exception of the Dragonshield binders which I had to order online as my LGS do not sell it.
Thank you for doing these reviews prof! I'd love to see a review of alternate style playmats. like hard tops instead of cloth tops and other such things.
Me: "Here, I can put away your legacy deck for you in my new Toyger case."
Friend: "REEEEEEEEE!"
As a mtg player who doesn’t have a box I might need to check these ones out
He has other Deck box videos as well. Amongst his favorite are satin tower and the Boulder.
This series is the one that introduced me to the channel and I always appreciate seeing a new video looking at tcg accessories like this one :)
I really appreciate these videos Prof, each of your videos really make the tcg community a better place in their own ways. Thanks for keeping at it for us, it really does make a difference
Why wasn't there the Patreon credits at the end?
I know it's not relevant to the content of the video, but I was actually kinda sad to not see it
Because the credits on the previous video were so epic
Honestly unsure how to store my commons, uncommons and unused cards beyond just throwing them in a shoebox or 20 😅
Either do it with shoeboxes or with BCW storage boxes, which are pretty much shoeboxes with a better lid and compartments. You can probably pick those up at your LGS for cheap.
That is unironically the best option, hands down.
BCW storage boxes, hands down.
Thank you for the thorough and honest reviews. Been falling down the MtG rabbithole again and I have a shopping cart with enough items to fill my current case and then some.
Great review video! Informative, compact and entertaining. Thank you, professor :)
That deck box is "toyt", toyt like a toyger
The Toyger is basically an unreasonable amount of inconvenience and risk for the sake of a gimmick.
havent had a gear and accessories video on here in a while. glad to see this one. as always great variety of new peoducts
Seeing one of these videos again after so long just gives me happiness. I love these reviews Prof! Also that toyger is breaking my heart
The Ultimate Guard Flip n Tray holds 200 double-sleeved commander decks? I'm sold!
i'm not playing magic but i always come to your channel now and then to see deck boxes, sleeves, or binders review for my pokemon cards. thank you professor.
Professor I've been waiting for next review on Deck boxes! Ty! Can't wait for next the binder and portfolio review!
These videos.. and I mean ALL VIDEOS on this channel, have gotten me back into MTG.
Love it.
Always find these reviews so helpful! Thanks again Prof!
Amazing video! good to know about those new products
Thanks Professor, I was literally just thinking about what container to get for my comander deck!
Hey prof, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate these product review videos. If it wasn't for this ongoing series of videos, I possibly wouldn't have picked the box I did for my cube. It's been a couple of years now and I still love my Dex Protection Supreme Game Chest. Thanks prof! :)
Always love seeig the product reviews. You mention storage rather than travel. I would love to see a video covering products for full collection storage. If there are products other than the big white cardboard boxes you know of that is.
I love these reviews. I love listening to them, and I find them so relaxing. I wish he would do even more
I'd love to see some reviews mention or even focus on the sheer impossible GIRTH that is a 100 card deck, double sleeved with Dragonshield sealables.
I have mine in eclipse outer sleeves, as they are thin enough to just BARELY fit in those 120 count boxes, but it would be nice to have the option of dragonshield outer sleeves... If only I had boxes that could fit them...
Thanks as always for the great reviews
Easily the best review videos on everything MTG from sleeves, deck boxes and other accessories to actual sets being released. I always check with TCC before buying a new product I'm not too sure about. I'm guessing you get most of the things you review for free, but that doesn't stop you from giving a product a bad review when it is deserved.
Keep up the good work my man :)
Thanks for the product review.
i enjoy your card accessory videos a lot, prof. this one was good, and i look forward to the next! :]
I won one of the Toyger deck slimmers for free from a competition, and I use it to keep my planechase cards in, as it's a good size for it and by taking out the cardboard dice holder, the space it big enough to fit the Planeswalk/Chaos D6 dice, meaning you can transport it all together. Works pretty well for that
I just bought a Superhive not long ago and I absolutely love it! big enough to put my 4 favourite decks in as well as dice and my mat. great for taking with me or for looking pretty on the shelf. You really can't beat ultimate guard boxes. The gamegenic ones seem appealing too though.
Always happy to see a new accessory review pop up in my subscriptions
I have the UG Arkhive 800+ for my Innistrad cube and I love it. I run 4 C, 3 U, 1 R+M. There is enough room from set tokens before being fully full. My cards are double sleeved with KMC perfect hards and Dragon Sleeve outters. 1 row holds W, U, B, and 4 ashmound hounds snuggly!
Great review as always!
Wow I was actually just considering buying a Toyger to try it out and then prof drops a video on it!
Gem Accessories deck boxes can hold DS Sealables double sleeved cards, which is a big win for me on top of the design
I was just binge watching your deck box videos yesterday!
I've been using the "Card Bearer Tactician" for the past two years. It's expensive but besides the cost, it is an amazing product. It has a handle, a strong strap to carry on the shoulder, a quiver like case to carry a playmat. It's modular with the top (nexus) being water resistant and the bottom (library) has a water tight seal.
At the moment, my "library box" holds nine single sleeved commander decks and tokens while the "Nexus box" holds two ultimate guard boulders, my modem deck including sideboard and my dice.
I will say I'm glad I finally got to see a review on the Toyger.
While its use is REALLY narrow, I do think it does one thing that fits my needs: hold a Dragon Shield sealable double sleeved commander deck with tokens. Right now I don't know of any deck box on the market that can do that outside of the recently released Dragon Shield deck double shell, which looks to be made of the same flimsy hard plastic that the cheap boxes are all made of, and doesn't have room for dice.
I cant tell you how much i like these review videos. Thanks prof ❤️
Very excited to see you review Gem.
That ultimate guard is a must buy! As far as the question though, I'd love to see them make something bigger than that. Something thats good for holding bulk. With such a broad collection, I have plenty of good commons and uncommons that could use a little more protection than your average foldable cardboard bcw storage container.
That feels like some great improv at 16:00 - you were *really* expecting it to fail said shake test, and tried increasingly hard to manage that result... and couldn't. Speaks very well to its construction, and overall a well done bit.
I kickstarted the toyger and have been pretty satisfied with it; they do specifically mention that you're supposed to turn the cards before you close up the box. But I do appreciate the thinner size; when I go to my game night, it nicely fits into my backpack along with my other stuff the way another boulder wouldn't.
I love these product review videos. I know the costs of production are high, but these are the most enjoyable videos to watch. It almost makes me want to get more cards just to get more products to store them in.
thanks for your videos. it´s hard to keep in touch with the market atm!^^
