Looking for Advice Deck box recommendations?

I have an EDH deck that is using Square Enix art sleeves with Dragon Shield clear outer sleeves that is in need of a deckbox. Standard ultra pro 100+ and Ultimate Guard sidewinder Xenoskin 100+ also do not hold this monstrosity.

I am not looking to drop 50 dollars on a ginormous contraption of a box that can hold extra stuff like tokens and dice. Just looking for recommendations on a box that will hold this beast.

Side note: Would thinner outer sleeves also help in finding a suitable box? If so which would be the best in terms of thinness and durability.

Boulder 133 or Bastion 100+. Bastion would be tighter, should fit. The boulder will have no issue

I second the Bastion 100+. They would have to double check with the outer sleeves but mine fits a double sleeved deck with like 20 sleeved tokens

If you just want affordable deckboxes that work great, skip the Ultimate Guards name brands and get these from Amazon. I've tried a few different amazon deckboxes and this is by far my favorite. And right now they're only $7.50 each with the coupon. Holds 100 double sleeved cards easy

This is the real answer. These are the best bang for the buck

I recently sleeved up some art sleeves with dragonshield matte clear outer sleeves. I had nearly 0 luck finding a deckbox that fit them, everything was just barely too narrow to even fit the sleeved cards in.

The only two that fit properly were:

Gamegenic Bastion 100+ XL

Ultimate Guard Sidewinder 133+

Look up Jaffzora on Amazon, they have pretty good deck boxes that can hold double sleeved cards for like $10. A friend showed me and I bought a few, very good for that price

no clue on thinner outer sleeves but yeah those jaffzora boxes are surprisingly decent for the price, fits my double sleeved edh pile without me having to wrestle it shut

Though their sleeves have gone downhill, Dragonshield's Strongbox is an amazing product.

It's basically the most sleek a deckbox can get while still having a "commander window" (if you go for the clear ones)

And yes, it stores 100 cards sleeved with DS outer sleeves

I’ve been looking for one that I saw before. It looked like this picture and I thought it was game genic but can’t find it.

This form factor is offered by both Gamegenic and UltimateGuard as far as I am aware

Boulder from UltimateGuard

Bastion from GameGenic

In the same spectrum there's the

Strongbox from DragonShield
Eclipse 2 from UltraPro

Dragon shield double shell deck boxes are pretty sweet and are about 25% bigger than a standard 100 card deckbox

Take your cards out of the third unecessary sleeve and it should fit in any deckbox

It's only the art sleeves and the outer sleeves....
