Introducing the Spectrum 50 ct Prism Deck Cases

Posted on by

The Spectrum Prism deck cases have become a popular option for gamers looking for a simple and effective box for their decks. As you likely know, they hold 100 double-sleeved gaming cards. While this is great for Commander players, many ccgs simply don’t work with them. With that in mind, we would like to introduce our 50 ct Prism Cases.

Like the 100 ct Prisms, these deck boxes are made of sturdy plastic with a smooth finish. They also have the same snap closure and squeeze to open feature as the original. However, 50 ct Prisms are slightly thinner, letting them fit in a 1600 or 3200 ct Card Bin for storage or transport. Of course, since the design won’t let them open accidentally, putting one in your backpack is a great way to carry them too.

As the name implies, the 50 ct Prisms hold 50 double-sleeved or a little over 60 single-sleeved tcg cards. This makes them perfect for games like:

Tsareena ex Attack Lock Pokémon Deck Tech

Pokémon ex (as opposed to Pokémon EX) were introduced in the Scarlet and Violet base set and immediately made an impact on the game. Some of these ex Pokémon have the Tera type, which makes them immune to damage while on the bench and changes the Pokémon’s type as well. Tsareena ex is such a Pokémon, and while it isn’t meta-defining, it can be very powerful with the right backup.

The Pokemon Raid format is an asymmetrical, cooperative game where a team of players work together to defeat a powerful Raid Boss, represented by an oversized Pokemon card or a V-UNION. While the basic rules apply, there are a number of differences, such as players taking turns simultaneously, the group getting a collective number of Supporter cards that can be played each turn, and players taking their own prize cards as their Pokemon are knocked out. For more information, see the Pokemon TCG Alterative Play Handbook on the Pokemon website.

Pokémon Deck Tech: Alakazam ex Wall

Alakazam ex from the Scarlet and Violet 151 set does something no other card in the Pokemon TCG has ever done before: It can attack from the bench. While it only does 120 damage with the Dimensional Hand attack, it can do so with much more protection than other attackers. When paired with Pokemon with powerful defensive abilities, it becomes very difficult to deal with.

Electrogenesis/Dynamotor Electric Pokemon Standard Deck Tech

The Pokemon TCG, if you will excuse the pun, evolved over the years. What was once a top-tier, tournament winning deck is now easily swept aside. Part of this is due to power creep, but most is simply due to there being more options. There are two ways to handle this: continually tinker with your deck to make sure it remains viable, or make whatever you want because it sounds fun. I opted to do the latter.

Pokémon has a thriving fan base that loves collecting related products, and cards are no exception. While most are standard size, either in the CCG or normal trading cards, the promotional jumbo cards have fans as well. These are normally included in themed box sets. Usually, they are identical to a card in the box, only much larger.

What Card Boxes Will Fit Best on Your Shelves?

If you have a large collection of sports or gaming cards, you likely have card boxes on your shelves. The IKEA-style shelves (pictured below) or wire rack shelves (pictured further below) are effective solutions for card box storage.

So, what card boxes are best for your card collection? There are a few things to consider before you buy card boxes or shelves. Will your cards be stored loose, in toploaders, in magnetics, or other card holders? Will you have any graded cards? How many cards are in your collection? Whatever the answer, BCW has card boxes to solve your storage needs.

Before you purchase card boxes, consider how they will fit on your shelves. We provided examples below to demonstrate how your boxes will look on IKEA or wire rack shelves. The wire shelves we used are 36 inches wide by 16 inches deep.

BCW also offers small card boxes, which are not pictured below. You can find all of our card boxes here.

The Six-drawer Card Catalog is designed to fit in IEKA or similar shelving but can also lock together with other units to create a modular system. Using the catalog with an IKEA Kallax lets you find cards easily, as you don’t have to physically maneuver boxes. This makes it a perfect setup for someone with a large collection they access regularly.
