"There is no more botany themed deck than making and using saprolings."
"[[Rendmaw]] is so much fun and breeds chaos like crazy."
"First thing that sticks out is [[Regna, the Redeemer]] as Cas with the two 1/1 warriors it creates."
"Since it was printed I disassembled my Yarok deck and have been playing glarb non-stop."
"It is a blast... a mix of equipment/auras and combat tricks."
"I've been going hard on tuning my [[Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker]] deck."
"Speaking as a theft player, [[Tinybones, Bauble Burglar]] fucking rocks."
"I’ve been stuck on playing my [[The Lord of Pain]] group slug deck."
"I've been dunking on people with [[Maelstrom Wanderer]]."
"This month it's definitely been [[Shelob, Child of Ungoliant]]."

"He's absolutely broken."
"Even when it loses, it still usually manages to do something ridiculous."
"[[Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma]] is one of the easiest commanders to play giving a good discount on the majority of your creatures."
"[Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma] is a great choice for a commander."
"One of my oldest decks, [[Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma]], was built from the chaff I had lying around and it did great."
"Really really fun to play."
"I just finished putting it together and am already enjoying how it plays."
"It feels really good to play."

"Barebones but extremely effective, cost, and space efficient. Great if you have many decks you like to travel around with."
"Nothing has a better hand feel than the Ultimate Guard Sidewinder. It's incredible."
"Ultimate Guard Sidewinder 100+ are my personal favourite for double sleeved Commander decks."
"Ultimate Guard Flip 'n Tray. Easily. Durable, has room for dice, easy to open. It's the only one I use."
"My return to earth boulders (UG) have been with me for 3 years now without any issue. Feels great and looks great"
"I’ve used a ton and like Boulders the best by far. They come in a ton of colors, they have awesome build quality, they’re a decent price, they’re compact…."
"My favourite is Ulimate Guard 'Return to Earth' Boulder, partially made of recyclable components."
"Ultimate Guard 133+ Sidewinder is my new favorite. I really enjoy Gamegenic Sidekick 100+ too, but the 133+ has the huge advantage that you can put all your tokens for the deck in the deckbox too."
"I like the ultimate guard sidewinders"

"They are really eye catching and cool to display. Also they fit double sleeved cards which is a must for me."
"Recently switched to Gamegenic sidekick pro 100+ xl.They’re my favorite product so far. Plenty of room for tokens and a tray for dice and such. Also you get to display your commander."
"I have all of mine in bastions with the black back & clear front, and it frames your commander perfectly. Durable too."
"I use the Gamegenic Sidekick 100+ XL for all my decks. I double sleeve my cards, and that box can easily fit a double sleeved deck and tokens."
"As for the best Commander deck box, I would say the Gamegenic Bastion 100+ XL, which can easily hold 100 double-sleeved cards, and assortment of tokens, and your"
"I think my favourite currently is the Gamegenic Squire Plus 100+ XL Convertible. Has a display for my commander."
"The clear bastion 100+ is the best. Just can never buy them..."
"Gamegenic Squire XL 100+"
"Switched from sidewinders to gamegenic bastion with dragon shield double sleeved. The cards in the front and back bended into the opening because it was way too compressed, can’t recommend if you’re using dragon shield for both sleeves."

"Ultra Pro Satin Cubes are my personal favorites"
"I like Ultra Pro Satin Cubes"
"For my lower cost decks. I run basic ultra pro boxes. For more expensive decks I use the satin towers."
"I love the satin cube/tower deck boxes. 100 double sleeved cards + a handful of tokens will fit in there so tight that it corrects curling."
"Ultrapro satin tower by far"
"Satin tower for me. 100 double sleeved cards pack in there nice and tight, and it locks shut very securely."

"They put miracle worker from durskmourn at the top and I have to agree it's a great deck."
"Jump Scare even not fixed can just go off, it's hands down the best."
"I think that one is my favorite, but I haven't tried them all."
"I would purchase either the Jump Scare or Endless Punishment decks from Duskmourn."
"Jump Scare from Duskmourn is a fun landfall deck out of the box."

Quiver Nexus

"I started using Quiver Nexus boxes a few months ago and I love them. They’re super solid, easy to open, and stackable!"

Spectrum Prism
4.5
(2)
"They're durable, have a sturdy build to them and they sit horizontally which I really like. I love them more than boulders."
"I prefer the BCW Spectrum Prism deck boxes over the boulders. They’re a couple bucks cheaper but for me they’re easier to open and they hold a few more tokens than Boulders."
#15
DEX Protection
4.5
(2)
"DEX Protection Creation line small is by far my favorite deck box. Ample room for a double sleeve commander deck and a few dozen tokens."
"DEX protection Creation line Medium is the way to go because it allows you to upgrade your outer sleeve to KMC character-guard mids in case you want to protect some nice graphic sleeves, with a perfect fit."

"They are vastly superior to every single "real" deckbox out there. For the price of a somewhat secure deckbox for 1 deck, you get an incredibly secure, practically indestructible deckbox for 8 decks."

Dragon Shield

(1)
"For me, I always use Dragon Sheilds for inner and outer sleeves, and Ultra-Pro for every other accessory."
