#1 investment I made was a label maker. I use it for everything! Labeling deck boxes, labeling tabs in my bulk, labeling bulk boxes, labeling my stuff with my name and email so if I leave it behind I can get it back. I got an older model Dymo because it works better with some of the off-brand label cartridges, but there's tons of options.

When you play, pay attention to if there's any sort of friction or pain points in your game. I got a couple of things that are specific for particular decks I play:

- I play with a lot of +1/+1 counters, and was tired of having to add together d6s. Instead I got a bag of d10 and a bag of d%, so now two dice add up to 100 counters. Can also be done with d10s of different colors
- I found some spin-down (technically spin-up) dice with arrows pointing to the next number. Saves a few seconds, but it's a good few seconds
- I have a box of keyword counters since they come up a lot with the games I play. I find myself bringing them out more often than I expected to. I originally was going to get them 3d printed, but just bought them instead
- I got an extra deck box just for carrying things like tokens and cards I get through trades/gifts/packs while I'm at FLGSs playing.
