A Modular Sorting Tray is made by combining individual card cells to form a grid sized for your needs. The cells are connected with strong dovetail joints. These trays are normally used for card sorting projects, and organizing cards while playing board games. However in the hands of a hobby shop, Modular Sorting Trays are excellent merchandising tools. Since whole trays are made by combining individual cells, the store can create a tray that’s the ideal size for their shelf, display case, or convention table. The base of each card cell can be moved from a flat “storage mode” to an angled “display mode”. This angled display mode makes a beautiful presentation of the cards.

When you’re playing in a Flesh and Blood Sealed Deck event, you have to quickly construct your 30 card deck. You’re provided with six sealed packs of cards, and have about 15 minutes to build your deck. How do you quickly organize your cards and determine what deck to build? I discuss my system and provide a few tips to help make the best deck possible. I’m using Tales of Aria packs, as I’m preparing for The Calling Sealed events in Dallas and Cincinnati.
