FAQ

Easy rule: if you single-sleeve your decks, get The Deckbox. If you double-sleeve, get The Deckbox XL. Both hold a full 100-card Commander/EDH deck plus 10+ token cards — the only difference is the interior space. The standard Deckbox fits 100 single-sleeved cards. The XL is sized for cards in two sleeves (a perfect-fit inner plus a premium outer like Dragon Shield or KMC). When in doubt, the XL fits both — but single-sleevers get a tighter, cleaner fit with the standard.

Both boxes hold a full 100-card Commander deck plus 10+ token cards. The Deckbox is sized for 100 single-sleeved cards. The Deckbox XL is sized for 100 double-sleeved cards. The Quick-Swap Core inside each box holds the deck snugly so cards don't shift during transport.

Yes — that's exactly what The Deckbox XL is built for. The XL Quick-Swap Core has interior dimensions of 2.7" × 3.6" × 3.6" (70mm × 92mm × 92mm), sized specifically for 100 double-sleeved standard TCG cards. It fits the most common double-sleeve combinations, including a perfect-fit inner with a Dragon Shield, KMC, or Ultra Pro outer.

All major sleeve brands fit. The Deckbox accommodates standard 66×91mm card sleeves including Dragon Shield, Ultra PRO, KMC, Ultimate Guard, Gamegenic, and similar. The Deckbox XL fits the same brands as outer sleeves with most perfect-fit inner sleeves underneath. If you sleeve up your deck for tournament play, your sleeves fit. (Probably with room to spare.)

Yes. Each box has space for 10+ token cards alongside your 100-card deck. For oversized cards (like Planechase or Conspiracy from Magic), the standard Deckbox isn't designed for them — they don't fit upright with the rest of the deck. Most Commander players keep these in a separate token box or sleeve folder.

Yes — every Deckbox and Deckbox XL ships with one Quick-Swap Core inside, ready to load with your deck. Additional Cores are sold separately so you can run multiple decks through a single box without re-sleeving or unloading every time you want to switch decks.

The Quick-Swap Core is a removable inner shell that holds your deck. Here's the workflow it's built for: keep each deck loaded in its own Core at home — in a drawer, on a shelf, in a cabinet. When game night rolls around, drop the Core(s) you want to play into a Deckbox and head out. No re-sleeving, no shuffling between boxes, no rebuilding your decks every time you swap.

Most BrB players we know own a few Deckboxes and a lot of Cores. (One of our founders owns 12 decks — each lives in its own Core in a cabinet — and loads 3 or 4 of them into Deckboxes before heading to a pod.)

Each Deckbox comes with one Core included. Additional Cores are sold separately. One Core per deck is the right move — keep every deck loaded in its own Core at home, then transfer Cores into a Deckbox when you're ready to play. If you own 8 decks and want them all sleeved up and ready to grab, you'll want 8 Cores.

You don't need a Deckbox for every deck. Most players own 2–4 Deckboxes (enough to take their favorites to game night) and many more Cores (one per deck in their collection).

No — they're sized differently. Standard Cores fit only inside The Deckbox (single-sleeved). XL Cores fit only inside The Deckbox XL (double-sleeved). If you run a mix of single- and double-sleeved decks, you'll want the right size box and Cores for each.

That's the whole point. A Deckbox is the transport, the Cores are the storage. Keep your full deck collection loaded in Cores at home, and use your Deckbox(es) to take whichever ones you want to play. Drop the right Core into a Deckbox before you leave, and you're locked and loaded.

One important note: Cores are designed to live inside a Deckbox when you're on the move — they aren't a standalone bag-friendly carrier on their own. They're meant for at-home storage and for use inside a Deckbox. If you're bringing multiple decks to game night, you'll want multiple Deckboxes loaded with whichever Cores you're playing that night.

The Deckbox is 3D-printed from PLA — but not the way you're picturing.

Yeah, 3D printing has a reputation for being cheap, brittle, and flimsy. Ours isn't. BrB Deckboxes are printed at high density with multi-walled construction — significantly thicker than the single-walled plastic shells you'll find on most competitor boxes. And most "premium" deck boxes on the market? They aren't even plastic. They're cardboard wrapped in fake leather. Drop one of those and you've got a sad cardboard taco.

Printing in-house at our facility in the USA gives us tight tolerances, real impact resistance, and end-to-end control over the spec sheet — things you can't get when you're sourcing the cheapest overseas mold. The walls are thick, the corners are reinforced, and the lid mates flush with no flex. Your sleeves will wear out before this box does.

The MagLock uses high-grade neodymium magnets seated flush in the lid and body. The seal is firm enough that the lid doesn't pop open in transit, doesn't rattle when shaken, and doesn't drift open during a long car ride. It slides smoothly when you actually want to open it. Magnets — how do they work? In our case, flawlessly.

No. The neodymium magnets are positioned in the lid and body of the box — outside the card chamber where your deck sits. Modern trading cards (including foils) aren't magnetic and aren't affected by static magnetic fields of this strength. The magnets are also designed and positioned so they can't pinch your cards when the lid slides shut. The MagLock won't curl your foils, demagnetize anything, or harm your cards in any way.

Yes. Every BrB Deckbox is engineered and tested to handle the real-world abuse of being thrown in a backpack, dropped on a hardwood floor, and packed into a car for a weekend of game nights. The multi-walled PLA construction holds up to repeated drops without cracking, and the MagLock stays sealed when it counts. We don't market "ruggedized" gear we wouldn't trust with our own decks.

Every BrB Deckbox is designed and manufactured in the United States. From the engineering of the MagLock magnets to the printing of the polymer shell to final assembly, we don't take overseas shortcuts. BrB is a U.S. operation, end to end.

Because we wanted hands-on control over every detail — the magnet strength, the texture of the grip, the precision of the lid seal, the consistency of the finish. Going overseas would have been cheaper. It would have also meant losing the ability to walk into the shop, look at a part, and say "tighten this tolerance." We wanted gear we'd trust with our own $500 decks, and that meant making it ourselves, here.

It means we control the spec sheet. Competitors source overseas plastic boxes built to a price point — what you see at MSRP is what the factory could produce cheapest. BrB is built to a quality standard first, and the price reflects what it actually costs to do that in the U.S. Tighter tolerances, better materials, real engineering oversight. That's the difference.

We process orders within 1–3 business days, and most ship out the next business day. Once your order is in transit, delivery typically takes 2–5 business days via UPS or USPS. We don't ship on Sundays or major U.S. holidays.

Yes — free shipping on all U.S. orders over $65. Orders under $65 ship for a flat $6.99. Since most BrB orders include either a Deckbox + Core or a multi-box bundle, the vast majority qualify for free shipping automatically.

At this time, we ship within the U.S., U.S. Territories, and to APO/FPO/DPO addresses only. International shipping isn't available yet, but it's on our radar. If you're outside the U.S. and want to know when we expand, drop us a line at Hello@BattleReadyBoxes.com.

Once your order ships, you'll get a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. The tracking number activates within 24 hours of shipment and works directly with UPS or USPS depending on the carrier. If you don't see the email, check spam — and if it's still missing, hit us up.

Yes. Within 30 days of receipt, you can return any Deckbox for any reason — including changing your mind. Contact us at Hello@BattleReadyBoxes.com to start the return. The box must be in the same condition you received it. We cover return shipping.

Yes. The Deckbox is sized for standard 63×88mm trading cards, which covers Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Star Wars Unlimited, One Piece TCG, Flesh and Blood, and most other modern TCGs. If your game uses standard-size cards in standard sleeves, BrB works.

Yes. Both the standard Deckbox and the XL are dimensioned around standard TCG card size (63×88mm / 2.5"×3.5"). Whether your deck is 60 cards (standard formats) or 100 cards (Commander/EDH), the Deckbox holds it. Players running smaller formats often use the spare space for tokens, dice, or counters.

The Deckbox is built specifically for standard TCG cards. It's not designed for Yu-Gi-Oh! mini cards, oversized Planechase cards, or non-standard sizes. If you're playing a game with non-standard cards, the Deckbox isn't the right fit — but feel free to email us before ordering if you're not sure.

Two big differences: BrB is designed and made in the USA, and we make a fundamentally different kind of box.

Most competitors (Ultimate Guard, Gamegenic, Quiver Time) manufacture overseas — and most of their "premium" deck boxes are actually cardboard wrapped in fake leather. The cheaper end of the market is single-walled plastic.

BrB is neither. We make multi-walled, 3D-printed PLA boxes with significantly thicker walls than any competitor's plastic shell — engineered in-house, with the MagLock seal and Quick-Swap Core system that no other brand offers. We're not trying to be the cheapest deck box on Amazon. We're trying to be the last deck box you'll buy.

Because it costs more to make. U.S. manufacturing, multi-walled 3D-printed PLA construction, neodymium magnets, the Quick-Swap Core system, real engineering oversight — none of that comes free. A $5 plastic box is single-walled and built to be cheap. A $30 "premium" deck box is often cardboard wrapped in fake leather. A BrB box is built to protect a $500 deck. Gear. Not toys.

BrB is built for anyone who cares about their cards. Casual Commander players, kitchen-table gamers, and competitive grinders all use BrB. If you've spent real money assembling a deck — whether it's a $50 precon upgrade or a $1500 cEDH brew — you want it protected, transported safely, and easy to grab when game night rolls around.

Joe and Chase, two Magic: The Gathering players who got tired of seeing their (and their pod's) decks shoved into $5 plastic tubs that popped open in backpacks. After searching for a serious deck box and finding nothing that met the bar, we decided to build it ourselves — designed in the USA, manufactured in the USA, engineered around how Commander players actually use deck boxes. Gear. Not toys. Read the full story on our About page →
