The Ultimate Guard SuperHive 550+ is one of the newest additions their line of card storage, featuring two main compartments for cards and a prized playmat with a smaller tray for dice. It can hold roughly 550 double-sleeved cards, or about 650 single sleeved cards for your cube. In addition to loose cards, the SuperHive 550+ continues the tradition of Ultimate Guard products playing well with each other, accommodating a variety of deckboxes in its outer compartment. I was able to fit five of the 100 card Boulders in it without any issues, six of the 80 card Boulders, or four of the 80 card Sidewinders without any issues. You could also fit five of the 100 card sidewinders, but hopefully by now you get the picture - the SuperHive works well with its smaller counterparts, and provides a great way to store all of your compatible deckboxes in one place.
The Dex Protection Supreme One Row is designed to store large collections of cards, like a cube or perhaps a Modern or Legacy gauntlet. It can hold about 550 double-sleeved cards, or about 600 single sleeved cards in its plush, real suede scarlet interior. Seven infernally strong magnets hold the lid in place and DO. NOT. BUDGE, even when completely full of cards and given a strenuous shake test. I could maybe see this box opening if you drop it from a fairly tall height...but that’s a pretty small corner case and not something most Magic players do on a daily basis.
The Dex Protection Supreme Game Chest is quite possibly, the best box out there for your cube right now on the market. It combines the carrying capacity of the Supreme One Row with Dex Protection’s Game Chest, fusing it together to create a box that can hold over 800 double-sleeved cards between the top and bottom compartments, not to mention a significant amount of dice and tokens in its two slide out trays. Like the Supreme One Row, the Supreme Game Chest has Dex Protection’s signature real red suede interior and a smooth, matte exterior. However, also like the Supreme One Row, the outside material also has a tendency to pick up marks and scuffs. It’s not terrible, but it was definitely noticeable after using after a few weeks. Definitely a disappointing feature given how useful and compact the Supreme Game Chest is in and of itself. - Ігри
At this point I'm just watching these to see you shake them.
I literally only purchase sleeves, deck boxes, deck cases, and portfolios that have been approved by the professor. Thank you for your reviews!
same, i check his reviews every time i want to buy anything
Finally, a box luxurious enough to hold my 600 Clues.
I think the problem with the ultimate guard not being able to sat closed with the magnets is due to leverage. The heavy deck boxes are far away from the hinge side. If they would have switched the playmat compartment with the card compartment it think it would have a better chance of staying closed.
Not sure if this would actually fix it, but I was thinking the same thing that it could at least heavily mitigate it.
I agree the weight will make it open no matter what. And who would hold there hive upside down?
I’m playing keyforge and I’m looking to buy the hive and divide my decks.
I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas. Professor please help!
The Professor Dropping his awesome stuff; so we don't drop ours.
Nathanial Miller doing the Lord's work. Thanks Prof!!
I drop awesome stuff every morning and don't film myself...
Nathanial Miller 😂😂😂 so true he was nervous
Lol I see that sliver overlord in the superhive deck box. Clever professor.
Someone PLEASE make a compilation video of the Professor shaking deck boxes and cases 😂😂😂
Ben Yes, with a beat and Autotune.
I have the superhive and I love it! I can bring all my decks with me easily in their boulder cases, and honestly have never faced a situation where it has been turned upside down, so never noticed its lackluster magnets lol
I'm super happy you made this video, I've been looking at products like these to find a proper storage case for Legend of the 5 Rings. The Ultimate Guard Hive would've been perfect if it held more cards like the Supreme Chest, I really want to store my 2 playmats into the same box. But I can deal with 2 playmat tubes and a Supreme Chest for my playsets of cards.
Awesome, I was JUST looking into these exact products and debating on them for both my Cube and my eight commander decks. Was leaning towards the Dex Protection stuff, but now I'm sold. Thanks prof!
Thanks for the great content! Getting started with MTG with some friends and about to try out some FNM at our local gamestore once the Challenger decks come out on April 6th. Love your enthusiasm and the work you do for the community. Thanks a ton.
What impeccable timing for this video! I was just saying I need more storage as my collection grows and I didn't want to just buy more of the cheap white cardboard boxes or repurposing the boxes from fat packs. Def going with the dex game chest
9:57 I've never seen someone get so giddy over a deckbox. Love you Prof!
Glad to see a review on Dex protection. I have recently bought the supreme game chest (about 2months ago). I use it to store my 360 card cube single sleeved 225 sleeved basic lands, about 80 sleeved tokens all on the bottom row. The top row I store 2 Edh decks in the trays as well as 2 edh decks in the boulder 100+ cases. With a little left over room for my spin down life counter and dice. It’s a great product. Holds everything but a playmat.
Any idea if it is big enough to hold triple-sleeved cards?
I've been a huge fan of dex protection for the last 2 years. No issues at all out of their binders or boxes. plus, that red suede is just gorgeous. When you hold some of their product you can instantly tell it's well built and very durable.
I've actually been waiting for this review! I've been holding off on upgrading my Dex Protection One Row to the Ultimate Guard. I'm glad I waited, thanks for the video! I love all your reviews!
Love the videos and reviews prof. Spent several years searching for sometime to hold all my commander decks. Eventually my edh group turned me on to a tool box with removable boxes. and I haven't looked back. However thank you for all your hard work.
Ohh, the velcro sewn into the box is such a good idea!! Cause all the velcro stuff I have tried ever comes off because its glued. Thanks for the video Professor!
I actually use a classic wine bottle holder box/ casket, which I got from a friend and modified the insides a bit. There are actually some really fancy ones out there and the locks are overall better than most magnets.
An upright one for example can house around 2 Satin Towers. For 10-20$ these are a good budget option too.
I'm using a classy olive oil holder. Held 3 olive oil bottles, outside red leather finish, inside soft black clothe. Fits the cards perfectly.
Awesome timing! I was just looking at buying a case this morning! Thank you for the awesome classes that you do Prof! Never ever a let down.
Making a custom card cube and I’ll be coming back to this video when I get it printed and sleeved. Thanks Prof!
Your giggle of excitement and joy after the magnets held your EDH decks in place made my day. Thank you sir!
Ultimate Guard should have put the deck box storage closer to the hinge, would have reduced the torque when upside down.
Hey Prof, you should order a longbox of random sports cards whenever you have to use cards for product testing like that. That way you don't risk your precious decks, extras, or commons.
T4silly , I find it more exciting to watch him risk valuables... It might also be scripted, or those are sleeved commons. Either way, even if it's ironic, I like it more.
I'm pretty sure he tests off screen using cheap cards, and only uses his valuable cards when he's reasonably confident that they won't spill out. Or, in the case of the SuperHive, he knew the Boulders would hold up.
A. H. Please explain your use of the word 'ironic' here
A. H. it doesnt have to be exciting it has to be informative
solidmasterdante , where appearance is different from reality. I believe this is the more literary use of the word.
I love dex protection products. I keep all my EDH decks and my main modern deck in a couple of their deck boxes. And they work like a charm. They’re surprisingly sturdy. Even if they don’t always hold up the best cosmetically.
I'm usually not one for old chinese proverbs/saying, but this came to mind when you literally dropped a Boulder on your own foot:
"Lift a stone only to drop on one's own feet"
It made me smile.
Seriously though, thanks for the video. My cube is currently stored in a couple fat packs, and I was looking into other options. This was very helpful!
Wow! Thanks Prof! Literally asked you about this on the twitters a week or so ago. Timely, and awesome, as ever!
I love your product reviews they are always a pleasure to watch. Funny sidenote youtube made me watch an AD in the middle of the video and the AD was for heartstone which I found humorous.
Thanks for the video, Prof! Your reviews are among my favorite videos on UA-cam. Timely as well as I am looking into some larger storage options and had considered the SuperHive.
I just wish a company would make a small gaming case like my old Ultra Pro case that can hold five small deck boxes and is slim enough to allow me to fit it, a large binder, and a playmat tube in my small jumper. Nothing I have found matches that 15+ year old Ultra Pro case that I still use to this day because of the compactness :/.
This video saved me money and headache. I needed something for the card kingdom starter cube I purchased (thanks for that recommendation too TCC) and I would have gone with a brand name ultimate guard choice over dex protection had it not been for this review. I am very happy with the "one row" I picked up as it is perfect for this need. I give this review an A+.
I have a 720 card cube + 200 basic lands + around 100 tokens + dice. Didn't know Dex made these - got a Creation deck box from Massdrop and love it, so I just might hop on these boxes for the cube. Thanks for the review professor, a pleasure as always!
Perfect timing Prof I just finished making a cube now I'm looking for a cube box!
I did bought the supreme game case before you made this video and I enjoyed it to the fullest. I do play Cardfight Vanguard and I do have anime art deck boxes that fix those deck boxes perfect but the anime deck boxes is not strong but for show. It does hold all my deck so I can play with different deck. Thank for your honesty and testing on different products.
I love how you get so nervous when you shake test your cards. And then there was your review of the Legion Vault v2. I bought one after you reviewed it because you were so confident in the box in every way.
Great video as always. Still like the hive. I need something that fits boxes, and being able to also put my playmat in, is a bonus.
I dont plan on holding it upside down, or anything aside from carrying to/from my car, so the magnet isnt an issue.
If there was a halfway option, where it's more secure, but fit boxes, then that would be perfect
Well i went to my LGS on the weekend and picked u a boulder deckbox (already love it, sleek compact design and sturdy. Does what it needs to do with probably 0 chance of opening without meaning to.)
I also gave dragon shield a chance. i usually went with the tried and true ultra pro Matte sleeves, but the dragon shield art sleeves did appeal to me (As all three featured a dragon) so I had to pick between Tanur and Draxis, (Ended up purchasing both, and glad i did. I ended up sleeving my Dragon deck with Tanur as it looks similar to "The ur-dragon" and very happy with the quality of the sleeve. Would rather them not be glossy but that has not proven to be a huge issue (unlike ultra pro i find the deck does not slide around as much despite being brand new sleeves.)
So thanks to your videos i made the right purchases.
These are amazing. I am building up my Star Realms, Hero Realms, and Boss Monster sets, and I know at least 2 of these are perfect for them.
Thanks so much prof, I’m going to be getting the dex protection game chest (smaller one) for sure, amazing value. Btw I love this channel so keep up the good work! 😁
Hey Prof, I have a 16 deck Pauper library, sleeved and stored individually in 80+ card deck boxes. I am looking for a case to house all 16 of my decks to make transporting it easier. Thanks for what you do and look forward to more.
Dex and Ultimate Guard have served me well on various products that you have reviewed. Thank you for making these videos Prof.
Hey!! I play Pokémon and your videos have been such help to me!!
i got a SuperHive for my friend last week and it managed to fit their large deckboxes from other brands just fine. and even with her playmat it still fit some (3) of the cheap 2.99 80card deckboxes ontop of the playmat, just running left to right instead of up and down. i was quite happy with it as they had a LARGE collection of decks and it fit them all with the mat
The main issue I have with using Velcro as a closure is that Velcro wears down over time, as all the loops eventually become torn and the hooks break off. I think most of these boxes, especially the Ultimate Guard, would benefit from using a simple purse or luggage style snap catch or even the rotating hook catch we've seen on other products.
I actually super like your process and method for product review. It is very thorough.
I have been using the Dex Protection Supreme One Rows for several months now, and I have to say, they are my favorite storage solution I’ve found to date. Great quality. One can get about 550 double-sleeved cards in each one. I use a single box for each color, although I wish they would broaden the range a bit. They don’t offer a green box, nor some of the other colors that appear in their binders.
1st box was the best. I want a box that can hold individual deck boxes (the real protection of a deck) and I can't imagine a situation that I'm hold the large box upside down or where it would would be shaken like that. (You mention something about the trunk of your car. I would think that's more an issue with your driving. :P )
Solid reviews as always. If you keep making videos I'll keep watching.
My friend has had a Dex Protection Game Chest for some time now. He loves it very much, hasn't let him down :)
My wife and I got a pair of dexpro 1 row game chests and we absolutely love them. Wish we had more opportunities to use them.
Very nice information, loving the show Professor!
Nice review, I've been looking for a new way to store my cards for transport.
I don't play Magic much anymore, but you're clearly so passionate about the subject I can't help but sub.
Thanks for the upload! almost picked up the dex one row but apparently it can’t hold deckboxes (lol what?!)
I’ve been using officially licensed Pokémon box sets (expensive) to hold my ultrapros / keep decks separate...
Quality content and thorough review as always 💕
This was an extremely helpful review. Thank you so much!
This was actually super helpful. Good stuff 👌👌
This video is Great way to inform yourself before purchasing the wrong item! Thank you very much for the information!
Great video. Absolutely love nerdy you are! Reactions were priceless! 😂
Love your channel man. At first you seemed kinda eh but as time went on, i love learning more and more about magic thru you. Thank alot, u have made me a better player. Id love to see more of u playing games tho.
What I want is a "Mega Hive" were it can hold 12 of the the 100+ boulders a space for some tokens and dice tray. That way it can hold a big cube as well as a large commander collection. Also, many many more strong magnets. Thanks Prof..
I really wanted to buy the up hive, good to know its issues. Great video!
i use the superhive and i guess it depends on how you use it. i use it for modern nights because i have a few modern decks that i always like to take with me. otherwise i have some dice , playmats and a pack of sleeves in it if i wanna draft. i dont really have any problem with it, because im transporting it in a backpack, so the lid cant really come off, but they are indeed a little bit weak, still like it a lot, you just shouldnt throw it around, in the backpack they are fine tho.
Max Haas thanks for your advice!
I've actually been hoping for an Ultimate Guard playmat + card holder, thank you for bringing this to my attention! I
Aw hell yeah, been waiting for a new card case video like this
I love these videos. You do great work analyzing the items but the goofy charm is great. I wish I could be an intern at the college.
JUST built my noob cube, so this video comes in super handy. On the ball as always, Prof.
I like the idea of Velcro as an alternative to magnets on deck boxes and so on, but back in the day the Velcropads were stuck on with glue and after a while they would come off. Not the same application but the Velcro used on those deck boxes sound like the Velcro strap used on the internal leg channel of my goalie pads. Meaning, that it's like trying to peal a turtle to get the strap off. I'm ok with that.
Velcro? You mean "hook-and-loop" fastening and the like?
(This is a reference to one of the Prof's older deck box videos about Ultimate Guard, if you didn't catch that.)
Raaanch I have a Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimension deck box with velcro.
Been on the fence about the ultimate guard box. I really don't like the space devoted to the playmat rather than deck boxes. The lid coming open is the deal breaker. I've got a rainbow of their 100+ boxes. Will keep looking for something to carry them in. Thank you so much!
Ive missed these product reviews. So happy theres a new one
Love the content!
Keep up the great work.
You knowledge is greatly appreciated
I'm using the Dex Protection Supreme and I love it. I went with blue, it's not full yet but I'll get there.
Always great videos thanks professor! 👏
Professor, I have to say the Superhive was an interest to me. Small Standard collection, handfull of decks, lands for draft and extra sleeves, and my Liliana playmat, if the magnets were strong and it came with a shoulder strap I can see a very strong argument for buying it, but unfortunetly they lost my cash after this review. Thanks for the warning!
Thanks for the review. Very helpful!
I always try to leave a like to the professor's review videos...a kind public service and he looks like he has fun doing it too xD
I really appreciate that your channel exists.
I was waiting long for this video
Thank you
Prof Brian!!! I just want to say THANK YOU! I've been quietly watch in your channel since 2013? 2014? Anyways I just want to say how much I enjoy your channel. Your intellectual take on MTG, your professionalism, and your love for this great game. I know there are some youtubers that talk crap to you and enjoy spreading hate and discontent in a game and community that is about FUN, FRIENDSHIP, ACCEPTENCE, AND COMPASSION for fellow players. Please don't make anymore response videos to these characters. Just stick with fun and happiness your channel can bring to others. I'm medically retired from the U.S. Navy and I take care of my father who suffers from Alzheimer's. Seriously enjoy watching your channel when a day hasn't gone well! You. Hv a way of bringing peace, happiness, and fun to this MAGIC ADDICT!!So again THANK YOU SIR! Stay in the light. No need to get bogged down in the swamp with these sad lonely subscribers to hate and childish antics! Anyway. 1st time writing you! Didn't mean to sound like I was blowing smoke? I just respect and appreciate your work! Keep on rocking Professor! Your friend Monty!!
I just found your Channel by chance and i have to say you do an awsome Job thanks for your work.
The Super Hive is GREAT! I can it on my bike and have no problems. I can keep two commander and two modern decks in it for choice. Its a great buy.
Prof you are the best Magic youtuber. Thank you for your hard work and the work of everyone involved.
Thanks for the reviews!
Honestly i might consider buying the deck protection game chest to transport my standard and commander deck, some extra sleeves, and dice.
@9:58 ...that laugh is like delirium of Innistrad. The Professor has transformed into Chuckling Consumer
Yeah, i saw the Ultimate Guard SuperHive at the LGS yesterday and i too wondered what its purpose really was, given the fact that the top part can not hold cards as it seems intended for a playmat or two. I don't understand why they didn't make it just that much bigger to hold cards as well. That way the tray for dice and such would then also be interchangeable with their (twin) Flip 'n Tray deck cases, which are awesome. The lid not holding under stress is unacceptable to me. Your (generous) C grade should be for caution!
Won a super hive special edition(black/red) at my lgs edh tourny. Its been the greatest thing I've enger gotten from them
I've been using an Archive with 5 boulders since you recommended it a few months ago. Just tried your drop/shake test with it after months of use (3 modern decks, 2 of them double sleeved and a land pack of 12 of each basic with 30 empty sleeves, as well as one empty box I put draft decks in) and it held firm. Maybe the magnet thing just doesn't work with bigger boxes.
i love those dex boxes, last week at the madison wisconsin magicfest/grand prix a really nice gentleman gave me a nice $7-$10 deck box for free and it's amazing. sure i'm a little biased but even my friends say it looks to be great quality before i tell them it was free so ye
The supreme game chest has gotten an upgrade. I just purchased one and it seems they now have the same finish on the outside as the DEX protections case and double deck box.
A great video as always!
I have the DEX protection game chest $35 fantastic buy. I like my decks in individual boxes, It's taken a few weeks for me to trust the chest. It's more convenient without the boxes.
The magnets on my ultimate guard Arkhive 400+ seem MUCH STRONGER than on the Superhive as shown in the video. After seeing your demonstration I was concerned that my Arkhive would open. It passed the shake/drop test when fully loaded with 4 Boulders each containing 100 double sleeved cards in dragon shields - making it quite heavy.
Great video once again. Anything new on the sleeve or other accessory side of things?
Ive got 18 commander decks and counting, i think the battlechest would be a great place to keep some:)
For me, I love my super hive as it lets me take all I need for an event in one large box. Multiple decks, dice, and the playmat. I can slide it into my backpack, and because it’s in the backpack, I’m not worried. When I get home, I can take it out and bring it back to the card room.
Love your vids
Actually started playing magic, because i liked your sleeve reviews that much :D
No, seriously, sleeve reviews made me play this game xD
I know he said the Supreme One Row and Game chest from DEX don't hold deck boxes or top loaders, but I have two chests, and I am able to store the top loaders in them, normally, with no issue. I'm tempted to buy a boulder now and see if it fits, because they seemed the same height.
I have a carrying card case from Quiver that my wife got me for X-mas. It is awesome. I carry my EDH decks, card sleeves, and die in it. I'd be curious on your review of it, Prof.
I’m eager to see Ultimate Guard’s response to this review. IIRC, Ultimate Guard is good about receiving criticism and addressing flaws in future releases.
Professor, have you rated the Grimoire since they updated with the latch on the outside? I'd be curious to see what you think now. And thank you for the extensive testing. You are my guru for what sleeves and deck boxes I spend my money on.
I'm a little bummed by the magnets on the superhive, but I won't be using it to travel very much and it fits exactly what I need at the moment so I'm still going to give it a shot
OMG I've been following your videos for a while and only JUST noticed I wasn't subscribed!
