Deck boxes. Every paper player needs them. Whether it’s to showcase your collection, keep your favorite cards safe, or protect your “I'm embarrassed to say how much this cost me” deck or cube, they’re a must.
There are as many deck boxes out there for you to choose from as there are formats. For any size deck, there will be a box out there that will fit around it snugly, comfortably, and safely to protect what’s inside.
I’m going to go over a ton of different deck boxes today, all of which will tick those boxes that you’re looking for in a good deck box. I won’t be delving into boxes that aren’t worth your time, don’t worry. I will give you signs of cheapness to look out for, though, so you don't get tricked into buying something that's poor quality.
All the boxes you’ll see today will be a great choice for the purpose they’re meant to fulfill. Because that’s really the question you should be asking yourself: What do I need this deck box for?
Is it for very expensive cards and a beloved Modern, Legacy, or Vintage deck? Is it a fun box for a Commander deck? Your favorite Cube? Or maybe you’re looking for simple boxes to hold your collection just so they have a neat place to be stacked away in. All of the deck boxes you can use for these things and everything else you should consider when buying deck boxes is covered here for your reading pleasure. We’re very much thinking inside the box today if you catch my drift!
Dimensions

The minimum dimensions your deck box should have for single-sleeved cards are as follows (L x W x H):
- 75 cards: 2.87 x 1.85 x 3.94 inch / 7.3 x 4.7 x 10 cm
- 100 cards: 2.87 x 2.99 x 3.94 inch / 7.3 x 7.6 x 10 cm
Measurements for cubes are more difficult to assess apart from the minimum height and width (2.87 x 3.94 inch / 7.3 x 10 cm) because cubes vary in size. Rest assured that a number of options are included.
With all the products you’re about to see, I’ve included the number of cards that can go into them, from single to double-sleeved.

Buyer’s Guide
There are a lot of elements that come into play when you’re considering a deck box. Things like fit, quality material, type of material, durability, sturdiness, design, aesthetics, weight, price, and purpose are all important to consider. Especially when the price of the cards you’re putting in them goes up. Let’s run down each element and some pointers to help you steer clear of bad choices and guide you to a deck box that suits your needs.
Fit
Angelic Destiny | Illustration by Jana Schirmer & Johannes Voss
This looks like a simple one, but it can be tricky. I already went over the minimum measurements of a simple deck box, and your deck box should at least meet those measurements.
It’s not unusual to come across deck boxes that are a little bit bigger, though, which is nothing to worry about as long as they’re not inches longer in all directions. I’m talking about deck boxes for 75 (60 main board, 15 sideboard) and 100 cards here. A Cube box should be much longer, for obvious reasons.
To make sure that the deck box you’re looking at is perfect for your intended deck, look in the description for words like “made for MTG cards.” In a pinch, “made for Pokémon cards” works too since they are the same size. This lets you know that the box should comfortably fit our MTG cards.
Then there are sleeves to consider. Luckily, many manufacturers now list the amount of unsleeved, sleeved, and sometimes even double-sleeved cards their box will hold. Usually, a box for sleeves will be a little bit bigger, because sleeves make the cards a little bit bigger, so it’s only logical that the box holding them does the same.
You want a snug fit, but not too tight. If your cards are sloshing around in the box then it’s better to put that one back and look for a tighter fit. On the other hand, you don’t want to have to cram your cards in there. This makes bending a big risk and the cards could get stuck in the box. Not desirable. Look for a deck box that’s not too tight, not too loose, where the cards are comfortably handled when needed.
Quality and Type of Material
Vampiric Tutor | Illustration by Raymond Swanland
There are obviously many, many materials you can build a deck box from. But not all are great to make a deck box with, as you might have guessed. It’s not so much that a certain material is out of bounds, but more the way that it’s used and how much of it.
Let’s say a company uses cardboard. Just regular old cardboard. Now, you can make a solid deck box out of this material. If you press a bunch of layers together under high pressure you get something that’s sturdy, but when a company decides to use cardboard it’s usually an economical decision. The result is something that feels flimsy and weak more often than not. Not to mention that it falls apart if it ever gets wet.
What you want out of a deck box is something that feels solid, something that feels like it will protect your deck when you drop it, it gets wet, it gets knocked over, gets stuck, or something unforeseen happens to it in general. How many times have you had downtime at a tournament and a drink exploded in your backpack?
The best judge of this is your hands and your eyes. Hold it in your hands, press it a little bit, and fumble with it. Look at the seams and the way it’s constructed. Shake it while your cards are in it. See if it gets marked with light handling.
If the sides are easily pressed in or corners are already peeling, then you might want to look at a different product. Of course, this all coincides with what you want out of your deck box. If it’s for simple storage or bulk cards, then maybe this type of box is perfect for you. If you’re buying it to protect something that means something to you and you want it to be secure, then the above applies.
Next to how solid and firm a product feels, there’s something to be said about the qualities of the material used. If you consider cardboard, you know that it’s not the toughest type of material. But things like leather, wood, polypropylene, and thick plastic are all solid materials that are tough and durable by their very nature. A deck box made of one or a multitude of these components is sure to have a longer shelf-life than cardboard or thin plastic.
It’s no surprise that the price can go up a bit for some of these materials, but there are some great affordable options out there that get the job of protecting your deck done. We’ll get to those options later on.
Durability and Sturdiness
Crushing Vines | Illustration by Scott Chou
This ties in with materials pretty neatly, I’ve even touched upon them slightly because they are linked. The better the quality of your deck box’s materials, the better the durability and sturdiness. Although the latter is not always automatic.
Leather is durable, we all know that. But if you find a deck box made of a thin slice of leather, the sturdiness isn’t there. Your cards are in peril of being crushed or bent if something happens to the box.
If a manufacturer wraps or sews that thin leather around a wooden or hard plastic frame, then the sturdiness improves by leaps and bounds. It seems logical, but I wanted to make a point of this all the same so you don’t automatically jump on a deck box made of leather and think you’re good.
The same rules of feeling the box, seeing it, and handling it still apply. If you’re shopping online look for reviews on the brand or model. See what other people have said about the product. A bit of research goes a long way.
Design
Pride of the Perfect | Illustration by Lie Setiawan
When talking about design concerning deck boxes, it’s all about shape combined with function. Actually, that’s design applied to any build. But as we’re talking about deck boxes let’s stay within that zone.
A great deck box is one that perfectly combines the shape with its function. A deck box that fits your deck perfectly and is easy to open and take your deck out but doesn’t fall open accidentally. A deck box where it’s easy to slide your cards in and out without unnecessary obstructions. A deck box that isn’t fancy, bulky, or oddly shaped just for the sake of it, but strengthens the functioning of the box. In other words, something that is well thought out.
Giving specifics on this is very hard because inventiveness is part of this field. You know certain deck boxes that work, where the design is perfect. But maybe there’s a design not yet thought of that does that job even better.
The best judge of this is use. Use the deck box and see how it operates. Do the cards snag when you place them inside or take them out? Does the closure feel solid? Are there protruding parts on the inside of the box? Are there snags on the outside? Is it easy to handle or is it a hassle?
A lot of this comes down to personal experience and the ability to actually hold and use the deck box. Of course, videos reviews can help to an extent, but ultimately using the box yourself will decide if it’s perfect for you and your needs.
“Needs” is not something to be overlooked, by the way. If you want something ornate and out-there because you want the box itself to be an object you can put on display, then your needs of design are different than if you’re a pro player that needs a deck box that’s easily transportable, is safe and secure, and holds your cards smoothly. A different shape and function applies to both and comes down to what you need your deck box to do.
Aesthetics
Enchanted Evening | Illustration by Seb McKinnon
Aesthetics, or the look of something, is closely tied to design and need but plays more to your preference in how your deck box looks. Maybe you’re someone who likes clean and straightforward designs, or maybe you prefer something unique, or you like ornate and detailed.
It also ties back to materials. If you like the warm touch and feel of wood, then your aesthetics will prefer a deck box made of that material. The same goes for leather, polypropylene, or biologically friendly materials. All of these apply the right type of aesthetic or look, to the deck box that’s perfect for you.
The design of the deck box obviously contributes to its aesthetics, too. In a way, it’s the combination of all the things I’ve listed above and also what’s listed below. The influence of the aesthetics of your deck box is tied to all of these and will decide how important a certain look is.
Weight
Heavy Arbalest | Illustration by David Rapoza
This one may not be something you think about when looking for a deck box. After all, you just want something that keeps your cards safely locked away until you need them. But think of this: what if you go somewhere where you really want to bring several of your favorite decks and it all has to fit in a backpack? A backpack that you carry around everywhere. For long periods of time. Weight becomes something you’ll notice after a while.
So while it’s beautiful to have all your decks in custom-made acrylic or solid wooden deck boxes, having to carry ten or more around in your bag will soon have you cringing in agony. Weight matters in that respect. If you’re someone who travels a lot with your decks, the weight of the boxes that hold them becomes an important thing to consider.
Price
Blood Price | Illustration by Antonio José Manzanedo
All of the above will influence the price of your deck box, at least to an extent. There are great budget options for you out there. And when I say budget, I really mean quality. Yes, there are doozies out there that cost too much and are rubbish. But if you apply what I’ve written above and are willing to look at what’s to come below you’ll end up with the perfect deck box. Taking both price and all the other aspects I’ve mentioned into account.
To give you a broad idea of prices you can expect to encounter, look to spend anywhere between $2 to $500. It all depends on what you value more. If you value budget, you’ll be at the lower end. If you value uniqueness, you’ll be at the higher end.
Purpose
Baneslayer Angel | Illustration by Greg Staples
I’ve mentioned it before, but I feel the biggest influence on your choice of deck box is what you’re using it for. The reason why you need a deck box influences the fit, quality material, type of material, durability, sturdiness, design, aesthetics, weight, and price that you’re looking for.
Of course, this sounds a bit grand when thinking about deck boxes and it’s not something you’ll spend hours on. But just giving a little more thought to what it is you want your deck box for will help to make a purchase that’s perfect right from the start. In the end, you’ll end up saving both time and money. Now let’s get to looking at some deck boxes, shall we?
The “Cadillacs” a.k.a., the Most Expensive Deck Box
With this category, the word “custom” really applies. If you have a thousand or several thousand-dollar decks, then wanting a custom deck box to show it off is only logical. Many of these would make a great gift for an MTG player that you want to spoil, too.

Best Metal Deck Box
If you’re not into plastic, leather, wood, polyurethane, or acrylic deck boxes, maybe metal boxes are your go-to. A couple are blasts from the past, but R.E.P. is one of the few who’s picked up the trade again with a very high-quality product. Take a look:
R.E.P. V2 Steel
100 single-sleeved cards or 90 double-sleeved cards
Ultra Pro Nesting
The Ultra Pro Nesting metal deck vault fits 82 single-sleeved cards or about 60 double-sleeved cards.
Rook Deck Box
This style of box fits 80 single-sleeved cards or approx. 60 double-sleeved cards.
Boxing It Up
Wow, if all those wonderful choices didn’t get your deck-box-heart pumping then you’re probably reading the wrong article. So many wonderful choices in all areas of boxing your deck away safe and sound it’s got my head spinning.
But in all seriousness, we’ve got some of the best choices out there for you to get your hands on. There’s something here for everyone no matter if you’re a budget player, a pro, a Cube player, or a Commander player, there’s something that suits your needs.
My personal favorites are:
- Leifkicker deck boxes: Eccentric and perfect to show off a favorite deck.
- Aaron Cain’s wooden deck boxes: Well-crafted and still a clean design to take with you easily.
- Ultra Pro Satin Tower: As an avid EDH player these towers are perfect to give each and every Commander deck of mine a home.
- Quiver Time Quiver: The sleek compact design makes this a perfect deck box to carry a Cube around in.
With that, it’s time to box it all up and put a wrap on this one. I hope you have a great guide and line of products to look at when you’re considering a deck box. May the perfect one be housing your favorite deck(s) very soon!
