This is the ultimate box created by BCW called the Deck Locker. This deserves the top spot due to the functionality and quality that this deck box has to offer. Let's dive in! At first glance, this box is gorgeous. It has the signature BCW dragon design which gives it that extra touch in terms of style. This box has everything that we look for when it comes to the perfect Yu-Gi-Oh deck box. It is made of a strong, durable leatherette exterior. Leatherette is not a porous material which means it is essentially waterproof. If any liquid or water gets on your box, you can simply wipe it off. There is a strong magnetic closure system that keeps this box shut and secure. There are two separate enclosures. One for the dice tray, and one for the cards. In our opinion, this is the only way to keep a deck box shut. The magnet is fairly strong and will prevent accidental spills and opening when being shook. Now on to what makes this deck box awesome. It features a removable dice tray. The deck box opens up like a locker to reveal your cards and a dice tray that can be taken out. You can store dice, counters, or other tokens in this versatile shelf. Mash all of these features together with an awesome low price and you get this as the top pick in our list.

This is another great product that you cannot go wrong with. A quick look at this case and you may think it's just another deck locker. This is partly true as it actually offers another deck tray to essentially double the storage. This card box is held shut with a strong magnetic closure. The closure specifically uses 3 magnets for an extra strong bond. There is little chance of your cards being damaged due to accidental falls or drops.

It has the same style and design, but is branded with the Ultra Pro logo. This is actually the second series in Ultra Pro's M2 deck box line. This box was created with an updated premium leatherette material from the previous model. It also has stronger magnetic closures and some new colors to choose from. Ultra Pro really wanted to make this second iteration as good as they could, and this is why we gave them a spot in one of our top picks. The deck capacity is a little low at only about 75 sleeved cards. There is a separate compartment or tray that you can store your dice in which is becoming a necessity in the trading card world. The price for this deck box is very reasonable which is a good thing to stay competitive with the other brands on the market.

Type of Box Closure Magnetic The magnetic style closure is in our opinion the best way to go. This will keep your deck box securely closed. If keeping your cards safe are in your best interest, only purchase a deck box with a magnetic closure system. Velcro There are a few deck boxes that may come with a Velcro enclosure. This works, but Velcro can lose its effect over time. Remember this if you decide on a box that uses Velcro. This can create a potentially dangerous situation for your cards if your Velcro isn't working properly, and in the long run you will be spending more money on replacement boxes. Nothing Some cheaper deck boxes simply close based on pressure and nothing else. We highly recommend against purchasing a deck box with no type of security closure as this can increase the likelihood of your cards falling out or becoming damaged. Card Capacity Be sure to purchase a deck box that can fit the amount of cards in your deck, and also your sleeve preference. Some deck boxes won't be able to support the amount of double sleeved cards in your deck depending on their holding capacity. The Ultimate Guard Twin Flip is an example of a deck box that can hold a large amount of cards. Sleeved Card Fitment Every box will have its limit on cards. If you only use double sleeved cards, make sure to select a box that supports the amount of cards you have in your deck before purchasing. Space for Accessories Some deck boxes offer additional space for dice or accessories. This is something you would want to consider because it does add a bit of bulkiness to the box. If you do not need a space for accessories, then leaving it out can net you a deck box that smaller and more compact in size.

FAQs How Many Cards Can a Deck Box Hold? 100+ cards is an average number that most deck boxes are able to hold. This varies depending on the manufacturer and deck box type. What Is the Best Deck Box? A: The best deck box is one that is constructed with a very durable, waterproof outside. It must also close tightly with a strong magnetic system. It must be able to hold double sleeved cards and also has a removable tray for accessories. The BCW Deck Locker is our favorite pick.
