What do you guys think of the idea? I've already made one. I'm selling them at my store for store credit currently. Making another one for a friend right now. I'll post some pictures later.
Seems cool. Better than not having a deck box
I'd love to see the pics :)
I'm making a horrid neon orange one right now... Because that's the color he wanted. ._.
When I make a Rakdos/Boros box, I'll post some pics. Or when I bring my cards in from my car. I have a yellow and black one out there.
I do those all the time. I find it cheaper to make my own cool looking deck box than to pay with an arm and a leg for deck boxes that aren't that sturdy.

There are some really good ones out there but yeah they cost a fortune. I bought the Jace one from world wake and I still use it and it's sturdy as all hell. No where like the ones they make now.
I got a cheap plastic one for $4 nothing special but it's survived a month so far!!
Also how do you make these?
Pics?
Here's some pictures of the yellow one:

This was also the first one I made, so the flap wasn't quite long enough. I also ended up finding black velcro, so it'll look better with that.
Basically layer duct tape over cardboard pieces, then connect the pieces to one another individually, cover up and edges, etc. and it's good.

Soon available in zebra stripes or cheetah print!
Or your favorite football team!
Lol no. I refuse to use that kinda duct tape. But I am considering making some designs out of different colors, like using red and white to make a Boros symbol, give it a black border and slap it on a R/W deck box.
Do u use cardboard to make them sturdier?

How much would one cost?
It's more if I have to buy more duct tape colors lol. Shipping + duct tape + I'd say about $4-5. It takes me a while to actually connect all the pieces correctly and smooth everything out. I still don't know how much if charge for making a symbol or anything because I haven't made one yet.
id order a Green and black, a red and blue, and a blue and white... but i'm fresh outta moneys for deck boxes at the moment
I'd have to be charging you extras then, because I currently have no blue or green xD
Edit: THough I'm really close to buying blue on my own, for my Azami deck.
If you get blue, I'd like a red/blue for my Jhoira edh deck ☺️
Would you take trades?

I ended up getting some blue, actually. And I can do some trading, sure.
Can I get some of these?
I'd give you 10$ in cash or cards to make me an azorius themed one :-)
I'll trade for one!
Ill buy one and be willing to pay extra for a sports themed one.
Huh, didnt think anyone was still really that interested in these. I'm pretty busy and these take forever to make, so I can maybe do like one a week. If you guys are ok with the wait, just let me know. Go ahead and post the colors you're interested in.
Also, I'm not sure if I'm still on-board with the decal idea, they'd probably take me longer to make than the box itself lol. Especially like an Azorius symbol. xD
Red/Blue for my Jhoira deck plox 😋
B/R with steelers tape along the edges.
I want a Dimir one soooo baaaaaaaddddddd
How would you feel if I stole this idea? lol I want to make a deck box now!!!
Can I order a Black-Red one? I'll trade for somethin'
For the symbols, you could try to find some of the stickers that came with the prerelease boxes.
My friend did a turquoise and purple one. They're kinda handy lol.
