I realize I'm probably late to the party on these but I just found a Cubeamajig alternative that seem to have good reviews! Burger Tokens have a very similar product that is MUCH easier to spell. Check them out here: burgertokens.com/products/perfect-fit-deckboxes
honestly after checking those out, I don’t like how they fold inside the shell and potentialy colliding with cards inside.
Great video! I made one when Jumpstart came out and I love it. My buddies and I generally don’t want to devote a lot of time to sealed and draft deck building when we are hanging out, and competitive just isn’t something we are interested in anymore. Jumpstart is the perfect solution as you can just grab a few packs, shuffle them up and play.
I just recently discovered the subreddit and al the cool custom packs people are doing. I’m going to have to make a few myself.
Great video man! A+
Although I did my jumpstart cube set up little different.
PirateLab Large Card Game Blue/Black Case - $74.99
GameGenic Card Protection Prime Sleeves - Black (100) - $6.00 to $ 7.00
Burgertokens 25 Perfect Fit Deckboxes (22 sleeve size) - $20.00
Personally I like the burgertokens deck boxes over the cubamji deck boxes because their just easier to load and unload decks in. Their also much cheaper than cubamji overall cost.
Thank you so much! I love how folks can customize this any way they want!
I discovered burger tokens three days after I uploaded this video. I will definitely be picking these up!
I love Jumpstart. its such a fun game. i build my own Jumpstart Commander Box, wich each Booster has its own Commander and its build arount it. mix two of them together and they have Partner. So much combo potential and so much fun!
That sounds awesome!
I just grabbed a fatpack and put 10 jumpstart half decks in. 2 of each color (except for blue, that's paired with the multi color one). There's a deckbox filling in the space that's left over and it has some leftover red jumpstart half decks inside, because I pulled more red than others. It's a lot of fun to bring to the table.
A change that I did is I took the basic lands out of all the packs and sleeved them separately. Then when you pick your packs you just grab some land. This saves many many many sleeves on basic lands.
That is a great idea!
Yep. Me too
I just sleeved the cards, put the packs into the larger clear singles bags my lgs sells their singles in and just stand it all in an empty jumpstart booster box on my counter. I like that you can see the deck themes and it is cheeaaap! Im a very budget player so buying extra stuff comes out of the card budget so... Im currently making a pauper battlebox now too, with a kid and busy schedule this is a great way to actuaply play with someone when you dont have time for commander nights etc.
My wife just started with jumpstart. She loves it. She has 16 now in dragon shield cube boxes all sleeved in a color she liked. We have so much fun. It reminds me of smash up or similar card games.
I really enjoy Jumpstart. I think it's a great way to play as well as a great way to bring in new players. I was also really excited to hear they just announced they are going to be releasing Jumpstart packs along with new set releases starting with Dominaria United later this year.
@@beyondthedeckbox that was exciting news. My wife has all the ones she's going to buy. She pulled too many duplicates, and was glad to hear new ones where on the way
Super surprised with the quality of this video you aren't much much bigger. Seriously well presented and well edited. You've got a subscriber, and just from this video I hope you grow as you deserve!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that!
I made a JS cube as well and here's my take:
I used the Dungeon you showed and I love it.
I wanted to balance the packs as best I could, because most the common packs can't really compete with the mythic or rare packs, so I went through each of the decklists for each one and combined them to make one bis pack. In a nutshell, there are a number of cards that are consistent among all variations of a pack so those stay the same, but then I analyzed which cards swap out and picked the best ones for my own variation.
I bought a bunch of tokens for the packs I used but I should've gone with infinitokens for sure. Much better choice.
Very happy with what I created and the first pack I removed with JS 2022 was Rainbow. That pack is almost unplayable.
I love this! This is great!
Do you have some kind of a link with a little more detail that would help make this more clear? Sounds pretty interesting.
Another excellent video! Great audio/background sound! Great cuts to visual scenes! Great word choice/communication style! And I appreciated the level of intelligent thought process that's communicated very effectively! You definitely invest that same effort into your video editing with lite humor thrown in. Excellent work!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
I really wanted to buy the cube ma jigs, but I'm starting to try to shop with a thought towards what's going to wind up in a landfill someday. I think I might use some kind of paper envelopes instead.
Wow this helped so much I’m thinking of making a jumpstart cube to be able to play with my friends and this video helped a TON. Thank you so much man!
That's fantastic! I'm so glad this helped. Let me know how you set yours up!
@@beyondthedeckbox What I’ll be doing is collecting all 46 themes (if I pull variations of the same theme I’ll just pick the one I like best)
Double Sleeveing all the cards with clear matte DragonShields to be able to see the backs of the cards (it’s not tournament play and me and my friends don’t care)
Using Ultra Pro Poly Team Bags as “booster packs” since they are really cheap and come in bulk
And storing it all in the GameGenic Dungeon (the large size will allow for extra space for all the needed tokens)
Just got into MtG, and I did so through Jumpstart because I’ve always loved the concept of Battle Boxes. Next thing I know I’m cracking open two boxes of each Jumpstart and Jumpstart 2022, sleeving them up and storing them in Arkhives and Dungeons. I also double-sleeved them because I’m a freak so that means I saved money on Cubemajigs lol. Really can’t stress enough how much I love the product.
I think it's one of the best products Wizards has come out with in a while.
but if i pick two boosters whit the same color can i separed efectively again? the pack have a cards list or someting? because if you pick two diferent colors its easy to divide and repack but if you pick mono color everithimg will mix togther
It's fairly easy to break them back up into their individual packs even if they are the same color. If I ever have trouble I just hop onto the decklist site for the packs to make sure. But I've only had to do that once since I've been using this battle box.
An option I've been using is to include a relatively large mailing sticker with a list of the pack's cards printed out on each (usually just copied and pasted from the online pack lists) and stuck to the box. On some boxes (the Cube Shells by Dragon Shield at least) you can stick it to the inside of the flap.
Man, great video! I’m a lapsed MTG player who was excited for MTG-SmashUp when it first came out but was surprised/not surprised at all that Wizards didn’t put any effort into helping the breaking apart of the packs after you play. I mean, as long as you mix colors, you can mostly figure it out, but it was clear they just wanted you to play with half decks for a night and then just have more cards in your collection.
Anyways, fast forward to this past summer and I came up with an absolute mad scientist way of finally making my infinitely replayable Jumpstart set a reality, and now I’ve got 52 themes’ worth of half deck goodness. Gonna put out a video after my December content break (band director here, and life is crazy), but I was thrilled and surprised to randomly find yours! I don’t m kw if I’ve been searching poorly but I’ve found JS videos few and far between.
Anyways, new sub and happy viewer, have a great day!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!
Would love to see update on this cube of JMP/J22. Any other ideas that you want to share? Please make another video on Jumpstart qube.
I definitely will be doing an update for Jumpstart 2022 soon! I had ordered something a while back that I expected to arrive by now, but hasn't. I'm waiting for that. But it should be here in a few weeks. (I hope.) I'll keep everyone updated.
*cube not qube. 😅. Or i was being extravagant. 😏.
I dream of a battle box like this. Some premade, some home made
I'm often coming up with more ideas for these battle boxes but there never is enough time or money...
How do you keep track of the cards in each deck when combining them?
I just do it at the end of the night when I get the decks back. Most of the time the packs are different colors (Dinosaurs and Phyrexian, Teferi and Soldiers, etc.) so those are easy. I just let anyone know if they happen to pull two of the same color, to let me know so I can see what the packs were, which land goes where, etc. Then at the end of the night I just separate them out. It's a little extra work but it doesn't take too long. I know some folks who use different color sleeves, but some people don't like that option. Hope that helps!
@@beyondthedeckboxI suppose by now there are card lists available online. Does anyone know if that is indeed the case?
I have a battle box or cube of Jump Sart 22. I used the newer revamp of the dragon shield boxes. Currently it's made up of a single booster box of the 2022 jumpstart, and I house them in the confines of 2 bundle boxes. I tried some cheap penny sleeve, and they ended up very bad, so one of my play group helped me out and we got them re-sleaved in gamegenic sleeves....much better. I intend to add more packs, but have been milling over how to store the packs. The dragon shield card boxes have a little bit more width to them so they won't fit inside standard deck boxes.
Your box sounds great! I definitely would check out Burger Tokens and their card packs. And also Gamegenic just announced they are doing Cube Pockets like these so you may want to check those out as well.
@@beyondthedeckbox the biggest issue I have at the moment is figuring out an easy way to get the jumpstart cards broken back down to the component theme packs after we play a couple rounds, especially if it's a larger group playing. Inevitably, it turns into a big mix up and somebody has to check the pack lists and resort a large portion of the cube, which takes out a little bit of the appeal and simplicity for cracking into the jump start as a battle box/cube. Thanks for the advice on the individual theme pack storage solutions.
My idea is using all the hybrid PWs from war of the spark to make packs around. Some of their themes are easier to design then other. Also I'm using MSE to design some cards that would be more like "signature" spells for each PW. Like how the PWs in M21 have some.
That's an awesome idea!
MSE?
@@danacoleman4007 Magic Set Editor
I added a "Modular" Pack to my Jumpstart with modular and artifact creatures from Darksteel, a Myr and some blue spells "Seat of the Synod" is the special land. Turned out very balanced I didn´t use Arcbound Ravager but the more basic modular cards and Arcbound Overseer as the rare.
That sounds awesome to play! I have a buddy who plays a modular deck and it's fun to play against.
@@beyondthedeckbox A Friend has a Mirrodin cube, we love that time it´s not most popular set but Mirrodin/Darksteel is our nostalgia.
btw: Memnarch planeswalkercard please! : )
I tried to build a AFR dungeoneering and diceroller JumpstartBooster but they are hard to do monocolor and with the Dungeoncards the pack gets too full and they are not beginner friendly enough for my casual Jumpstart experience so I scrapped them, maybe fun for more experienced players but I play Jumpstart with very casual friends and family that played magic a few years ago.
Jumpstart works where even the MTGArena Starter Kits fail to get my wife playing with me : )
yeah, but if you shuffle up two of the same colour packs, HOW do you separate them out at the end???
Has happened a few times. Often you can tell just from the themes, but if there is ever a question I just hop onto the deck list page Wizards has and it takes just a minute to sort out.
We usually make sure to not have same colors... have to repick sometimes but it saves this hassle
An option I've been using is to include a relatively large mailing sticker with a list of the pack's cards printed out on each (usually just copied and pasted from the online pack lists) and stuck to the box.

@@B__C__now that's a great idea!
Im crazy and doing all 121 deck variations. Do you have any storage recommendations for storing these all in one?
That's awesome! I had originally set out to build one with all 121 but when I realized that I could only fit 40-43 in the Arkhive 800+ I figured I would stop there for now and might revisit in the future.
If you're looking for a something for all cards in one place, you could go with a BCW 5 Row Cardboard Storage Box. This would work great and I'm pretty sure they would fit all the cards even with the cubeamajigs but you would have to check that. You could go full custom and get a special made box but that is expensive and I realize it's not an option for everyone. A solution from outside of TCG specific storage are those hardware storage bins from DeWalt or Craftsman. I'm pretty sure those would fit all of the cards. You would want to figure out how you would want to organize them in there though. Since they are not TCG specific you would need to DIY the interior a bit to keep the cards safe. Or you could just stick them in cubeamajigs and toss them in there and call it good. It's up to you.
I put the links about the items I was talking about below. I hope that helps you with some ideas!

@@beyondthedeckbox Thanks for the info. Long ago, I used to carry my mtg stuff around in one of these:
www.staples.com/Vaultz-Locking-Mobile-Wheelie-Chest-Letter-Legal-Black/product_652192
May be able to use this and put liners in it. Since each pack has a hard cover, you could let them pack in tight in multiple layers.
Doing a jumpstart battlebox myself. Narrowing it down to one of each theme though, this way I'm just as likely to pull rainbow as I am to pull dinosaurs.
@@xerovenom5230 i bought 3 1/2 boxes. Ended up with a lot of chaff. Many copies of rainbow.
I'm going for that as well. I got a CardKingPro big black box. I'm about 160 cards short and I'm pretty sure it's going to fit fine. One trick though, you can cut most of the basic lands because you are only going to be using a handfull of them at a time. Same with the thriving lands. You're only going to need four of each at most.
How do you go about sorting the cards back into their little deck boxes after you mixed two themed decks together? How do you know which card belongs to which theme?
It's really easy when the two packs are different colors. When I run into a situation where the packs are each the same color, I just find the deck list and sort them out. Takes me less than 5 minutes every time I do a Jumpstart night. (Gloomhaven is a MUCH harder clean up.)
@@beyondthedeckbox I see, thsnks for thr reply! 🤗

On some boxes (the Cube Shells by Dragon Shield at least) you can stick it to the inside of the flap.
Hwo to separate back the cards after they were joined?
It's actually quite simple. In most cases the colors are two different kind so that's straightforward. In the event that you have two packs of the same color, then you can look up the deck lists, or have the lists handy nearby to put them back together. Putting these back together, even after a long night of playing and multiple decks, has never taken me longer than 5 minutes. Thanks for watching!

Yeah I'm going for the full set. I'm skipping the cubamajig kind of stuff and instead using a deck made of the front cards to randomize.
Wow! Things you are want to protect cost lower than these boxes and sleves.
This is true. But I look at it from the amount of enjoyment I get out it. I've used this countless times and the fact that it's all set up like this makes it even better. So for me, it's worth it. But I completely understand if someone just wants to use a cardboard box and rubber bands.
I notice one way of play no one has done yet for jumpstart. This could be like block or premodern basically jumpstart constructed. U build a deck out of the pool of cards in jumpstart. U can also include other sets like a core set(s). Tbh I would include cheap sets into it like the 3rd unset which tbh again can fit into any block because the mechanics r not that over the top or silly.
This is a great idea!
Should be a format tbh I played sum on arena before I quit it because it sucks and what I notice about jumpstart cards is that it’s very skill base like the old core sets
U know what do videos on my idea just credit me for it. Ok so pick a theme u like and look at the card pool in jumpstart and just like any constructive format do a deck profile. Also do sum videos on game play.
Man, I super appreciate this video. I just posted my kinda ridiculous-length dive into “Project Jumpstart” that I’ve been constructing since mid-summer because I genuinely love this format so much. Thanks for having a great video I’ve watched multiple times over that period just because it’s one of the few I’ve found that takes time to just talk about what makes Jumpstart fun to play and collect (and in my case go crazy and make tiny labels for all the cards to separate them again, haha).

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much!
Bro I'm digging your video's great job. I've also got a channel, I crack packs and do a bunch of other stuff. Keep staying Pawzitive Bro 👍
Thank you so much! I'll check it out!
i thought it was about you passing knolage about HOW to actually MAKE a jumpstart deck, your sstrategies and stuff
My apologies, I do have that on my list of upcoming videos. This one is more of the mechanics of the box itself.
