If y'all want an inexpensive alternative to the magnetic pallettes, these are what I use in my kits. They're great because they still hold a good deal of pans but take up very little room. And at the price you can get a ton of them for the price of one makeup branded one. I probably have two dozen if them and absolutely love them.
I put my sandpaper in an expanding file folder like this. Works well for me.
Not a traditional option but I love the ArtBin Magnetic Storage Case. It's cheap, clear, sturdy and a good medium size. See it in action.
Edit: fixed link.
I recommend buying some WAGO lever-nut connectors to make your electrical boxes that much cleaner and easier to service and test. They are expensive compared to wire-nuts but you only need a couple per box. https://www.amazon.com/Wago-Lever-Nut-Assortment-Pocket-Pack/dp/B01N0LRTXZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1528247336&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=wago+lever&psc=1
I have 30 decks and have 28 of them in these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002TT3LG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ti4VDbEFPE63B
They hold a (depending on brand) double sleeved EDH deck. They're compact. You can lay the commander on top for easy identification. Best of all, they're $2.00 so buying 30 of them won't break the bank.
Boulders are my second choice for many of the same reasons above, but they're more expensive and less transparent.
I use and like this system of Plano boxes. Costs ~$20, compared to $90 for the Broken Token organizer.
Also, anyone looking for an accordion file that does fit all the map pieces and the manual/scenario books, this one works.
I live in Canada, and bought mine from Amazon
​
​
The ones I originally bought went up in price a bit, but the shipping should be reasonably fast this way.
​
Hope this helps!
I'm also canadian, and I bought some of these on amazon last year!
Right here! I thought about trying with my satin tower, but those are a bit more of a risk, if something goes wrong and I have several of these guys lying around because they were ~$2.50 for a while, so I was tacking them onto my Amazon orders to fill space. One thing to note - they aren't acrylic, so the laser kinda melts them rather than etching. (At least with the settings that we used, which were what the guy showing me how to use the cutter said he uses to etch acrylic.) It turned out kinda neat, though. If you look on the right side of the Rakdos logo in the second pic, you can kinda see the watery texture it left behind.
You can use something like this: link It's a magnetic craft/sewing case. It's pretty utilitarian with no frills. I have one and it's very sturdy. You could probably glue a mirror into it, or decorate it if you're crafty.
Amazon also has Z Palette alternatives. You might try looking there. I just searched for "Travel empty makeup palette" and a whole lot of options came up.
It’s made by Ultra Pro, it’s $11 on Amazon! - Ultra Pro Gaming Generic Display CaseDisplay Case, Multi, One Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012G6KUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_T24JG75Z04VY97B6X5W6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I like the 150 card Ultra pro boxes. Some call them the "Darksteel Plastic" boxes, since they're very durable. They are clear, so you can see your commander on top, and also pretty cheap compared to most options.
Be sure to get the 150 size, as 100 will not hold a fully sleeved commander deck comfortably. You can get them on Amazon as an add-on item, but I usually find them on Ebay.

So, There are “penny sleeves” which are those plastic covers that cover the card for minor scratches. A top loader is basically a hard plastic penny sleeve the reduces bending and damage done to card.
For Pokemon Cards it’s 3x4
Also, never put a card into a Top Loader before putting it in a Penny Sleeve, simply because the Top Loader is hard plastic and could potential damage the beautiful holos.
Ok so I found the hard card cases. I’m not terribly sure if it’s the same, but here.

Dry-erase playing cards. I used them as tokens for events that I don't know what tokens I'll be using, but you could easily just write the number of tokens on these.
Ah well some on us amazon too :)
The single holders would probably work too to give you more flexibility in how you place them, just cause so many cards you won’t need a lot of the time
Planning to use two of these and some stands. Will probably sub the base card for the super to fill them both out.
Brother this is looking pretty rough just having sleeves from a binder slapped on the wall. But I get what you want to do. I have been using Ultra Pro Screwdown Frames to display my cards. Before you mount them into the frames place them in a perfect fit sideloading sleeve protector then a deck protector so they are double protected from dust then you can put them into the frames. If you search for “Perfect Fit sleeves” on Amazon you will find them.
Ultra Pro ScrewDown Frames currently out of stock on Amazon but these BCW’s will do just fine.
You have some really nice cards there, putting them into frames will make them the viewing piece you want them to be!
Ultra pro clear plastic boxes off amazon…. These are amazing, durable, and cheap
I use Wago 221's for these kinds of temporary things. They don't damage the wires and give a quick, easy and excellent connection.

Will people please stop wasting their money on this. They're charging $12 for 25 cards. Here's a Link for 180 for $8
This is a 4 card frame, not big but keeps cards in a sleeve nice like a graded slab, easy to hang up
I also got a 20/24in frame from Walmart that perfectly holds 40 toploaders to display my favorite decks like Goats and Dinorabbit. If you want to display more. Smaller frames work also, just decided how many cards you want framed, toploaders are 3in by 4in and find a frame that fits, a line of scotch tape over the backs to keep them straight and boom.
Instead of paying infinitokens premium for a border, I ordered cards similar to these from amazon
Just get business card holder. I use something like this and just pass it around during strategy phase.
From Amazon here! I was a little worried about its mixed reviews and reports of damaged frames and missing screws but luckily I didn’t encounter that.
I suppose, but they're very expensive for what they are.

Although I LOVE planners; I almost had a heart attack when I couldn’t find mine; it fell out of my bag and someone found it!!
Here’s some tips to getting organized (without the fear of losing a planner):
-All of my due dates (regardless of the course and modality) are on the same day of the week at the same time (ex. 11:55pm on Wednesdays)
-IF you have canvas, color code the classes on your dashboard to match
-Print out each of the syllabus course calendars and write the CRN at the top and color code it
-Print out your semester course roster and color code the classes with a highlighter.
-Put color coded print outs into an expandable file folder or zipper binder organizer (see links below) and each course’s handouts and or collected work goes into the matching section.
—Copy each roster into a spreadsheet (creating a workbook with a spreadsheet for each course) and make notes of participation, etc as you go.
-Get the excel app for your phone so you can update on the run. You can also take photos of handwritten notes and there’s a function to import the text into your spreadsheets)

If you were going to get them I would wait for them to go on sale because I got mine on Amazon for around $8 to $9
A great idea, but a lot of extra cost for the name brand.

I bought this last year, and they've worked a treat. Standard playing card sized, usable on either side, and cheap enough that I don't mind if one gets mishandled or lost during a night of playing.
I provided an Amazon link for ease of reference, but if anyone wants these, shop around, see if you can get a better deal (or at least not through Amazon if that bothers you).
