Are there any well padded deck box or carrying case that can hold multiple double sleeved EDH decks?

I use a baseball display case. It's a perfect fit for double sleeved edh decks. Costs 3 bucks or so.

Edit.
Decorated with spider man stickers my son put on it. Makes all the difference.

*sigh* another 2-2 in a standard DE. Why can't I go 1-3 and then 3-1 instead?

My modern deck of choice is black white tokens and I've gotten pretty decent playing it. I have figured out I have some trouble piloting against tron primarily karn liberated. What is the sideboard I should be using against it? I can't seem to figure out what I'm needing so was thinking of adding a temple garden and an overgrown tomb in place of a swamp and plains so that I can put beast within sideboard or go red sacred foundry and blood crypt for dreadbore. I've got 4 marsh flats and 2 verdant catacombs in deck already to search them up.

is Karn, of all things, REALLY the problem? you're a multi-threat aggro deck. what is it about karn you can't deal with?

edit:
in color, you also have oblivion ring, tidehollow sculler, duress/thoughtsieze/despise. really silly to branch out when all of these are very good on their own.

Its not so much karn is the problem so much as when he gets in play I get slogged down to a point I can't seem to work around it. I play thoughtseizes and scullers main. Problem I have is when I play them the tron player has had a habit of multiples in hand or karn and an ostone and I have a habit of taking the ostone.

Duress in side. By some idiocy of my own doing oring honestly didn't come to mind.

More discard is effective as is O-ring or Pithing needle, also maybe the strategy you are using against the deck is flawed, at least think about that as well.

If you're following You Make the Card 4, the guy that designed Mass Mummification is an irl friend of mine.

Here are the user created cards. There are 8 cards and they will face off against one another in 3 rounds to see which one is the victor!

Cards 1&2

Consuming Contract

At the beginning of your upkeep, choose oneÑYou draw two cards and lose 2 life; or destroy target creature; or __________*; or you lose the game. You can't choose the same mode twice.

*This ability originally read "Cast a spell without paying its mana cost." That was judged to be too powerful compared to the others. If this design wins, we'll have a further vote to decide what ability will go in this blank space.

Double Down

Exile two cards with the same name from graveyards: Draw a card.

Cards 3&4

Blood in the Watering Can

At the beginning of each end step, if you've lost life this turn, you may return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.


Mass Mummification

CARDNAME enters the battlefield with thirteen bandage counters on it.

At the beginning of your upkeep, each player's life total becomes the number of bandage counters on CARDNAME, then remove a bandage counter from CARDNAME.


Cards 5&6


Soulfeaster's Rising

Whenever a creature dies, exile it and put a risen counter on CARDNAME.

As long as CARDNAME has five or more risen counters, it's a 7/7 Demon creature and has "CARDNAME has all activated abilities of all creature cards exiled by CARDNAME."


Revenge of Necromancy

Whenever an opponent discards a creature card, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.

Whenever an opponent discards a land card, add BB to your mana pool.

Whenever an opponent discards a noncreature, nonland card, draw a card.


Cards 7&8


Eldritch Rites

Sacrifice a nontoken creature: You may cast target black instant or sorcery card from your graveyard. If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead.


Demonic Bargain

CARDNAME enters the battlefield with X doom counters on it.

At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a doom counter from CARDNAME and draw a card. Then, if CARDNAME has no doom counters on it, sacrifice it and put a 5/5 black indestructible Demon token with flying onto the battlefield under an opponent's control.


I voted for:
Double Down
Blood in the Watering Can
Revenge of Necromancy
Eldritch Rites

The whole "counters" theme makes the cards inelegant time-bombs.

If we all vote for Consuming Contract, that means we'll all get one additional round to vote!

I don't get consuming contract, if you choose one, what's the point of stating that you can't choose the same mode twice? Or is it choose two? Then it would make sense, because you would never choose to lose the game if draw 2 and lose 2 is an option

Yeah, I didn't really like the prevalence of counters in the submissions selected.

This is also a "Time Bomb". Basically, you are forced to choose "you lose the game" in the fourth upkeep as each choice cannot be made again.

I think Consuming Contract is interesting design, at least. Not quite sure how elegant it is but it certainly puts inevitability front and center.
