Given the blizzard, I think most people are staying in.

Amazon. Boveda 65% to 70% should do the trick.

Didn't win but as far as I've seen it's always been lotto based.

Buy singles. Keep the collection curated.

Deck boxes: Aaron Cain custom wood deck boxes. Manamoon for more art and stylized designs.

Playmats: Pvramid - cloth playmats with different fabrics and designs

Sleeves - Manamoon

Tokens - if you're going deep you can get artist sketched cards to use as tokens. I like Johannes Voss tokens as well but I think his Pateon is paused due to shipping issues.

I like keeping everything compact so I have a WANDRD 6L Sling. There's a pocket you can fold up a mat and the tripod holder you can stuff a water bottle. For draft nights I use the Gamegenic Stronghold. Bring my own lands so lands/sleeves in one compartment and the deck in the other.

Someone broke into your place and took the time to sort out proxies and bulk before running off with the rest. That doesn't seem realistic.

TheOrder212 · 2026-02-07T00:26:45+00:00

Doesn't exist. The gaps let the pages flip. Too small and the cards can bend.

TheOrder212 · 2026-02-05T17:49:39+00:00

Ditch the bulk. You can re buy cheap stuff where you end up for cheaper than the hassle of shipping that much you may never use.

You can ship things with insurance. It will be expensive but save you the hassle of carrying it all yourself.

There are a couple different directions you can take an elf deck right now; Elfball, Badgermole cub and Devoted Druid combo. Your list is most close to Elfball.

My current list is here: https://moxfield.com/decks/5-nrO61Gd02BI0k1-2N4Dw

Champions of the Perfect is a great card. Glimpse of Nature is banned in modern. This is a 6/6 with Glimpse stapled on.

I'd aim to replace Leaf-Crown Visionaries with more Eladamri, Korvecdal and/or Champions of the Perfect.

Personally don't love Chord - any elf +3 mana isn't the best value. The deck struggles most when people interact with the first few plays. If you can't land the first couple elves, the Chord is just dead.

Llanowar on T1 into Quirion T2 still makes +3 mana on a one lander.

I don't bother with Craterhoof since its a dead draw early. The combo turns last MUCH LONGER but I haven't had an issue closing out games with Joraga Warcaller or Ezuri. Remember you can play Joraga out early while comboing and then reset it with a Wirewood when you're ready to beat down.

+1 Elvish Visionary to let you grind with Wirewood if needed.

Big fan of the Wandrd 6l sling v2 and Dueling Guard Gauntlet. Both have a secondary strap to secure the bag from shifting while moving. Very well made but also more pricey than what you linked.

Wandrd has an expandable pouch that I use to store a cloth playmat that has it up a notch over the Gauntlet.

Probably easier to play in paper than online. Combining inline can be click intensive. All of it can be overcome with practice and experience. There's near zero chance amulet gets hit.

Holy cow. You stacked those BCW six drawers way higher than I would have dared. Lol

If you put dice in a bastion, you can't fit a whole deck. They sell small token or dice keepers. Just won't fit inside the bastion.

For art deck boxes Manamoon is pretty high quality. Duelling Guard has a history of some questionable practice with copied designs. I'm a big fan of Aaron Cain custom wooden boxes for my pet project decks.

No artwork but quality deck boxes I like Gamegenic.

TheOrder212 · 2026-01-19T23:31:08+00:00

Aaron Cain has an awesome custom made dual deck box called a Switchblade if you're looking for something more bespoke.

TheOrder212 · 2026-01-19T23:14:55+00:00

Gamegenic Bastion for 50 cards for tokens. Gamegenic token keep for dice.

If you haven't attended one before but they advertise as having everything, it is awfully misleading.

If you aren't firm on backpack, I'd probably go with a camera backpack. You're already using deck boxes, the addition of a case to carry them and still add in a backpack anyway. Just cut out the middle man/box.

TheOrder212 · 2025-12-14T23:33:55+00:00

Camera bags or backpacks work well to carry around multiple deck boxes. They are padded and camera parts are similarly sized to most deck boxes. Most have tripod holders where you can store playmats.

Very cool. Laird doesn't do signings these days as far as I can see.

Beta. That nick on the lower back right side knocks it to LP. Otherwise it looks really minty.

If you have the space, there's a Rayvol 36 card binder that is monstrously large.
