Ah, Supplies. Often not strictly necessary to play Magic, but they make the experience of playing so much nicer and smoother. We’ve collected a wide range of our favorite accessories in our Gift Guide, and we’ll run down a few highlights here.
Protect Your cards
First things first, you have to protect the cards you play with. Yes, you can go back and find footage of people playing with unsleeved decks at old Pro Tours, and then feel your blood freeze as you realize they are straight up shuffling unsleeved original Dual Lands.
Dragon Shield has long been a solid standard for all Magic sleeves, with quality options all over the spectrum. From Solid Matte colors to the more esoteric Art Series selections, it’s hard to wrong in any way with Dragon Shields. The fact that they come in Commander-friendly packs of 100 is just the icing on the cake.

These sleeves feature clear, glossy fronts to make sure the art pops. The thick material is ultra durable to shield your cards from damage while the matte back offers a supreme shuffle feel. <a href="https://www.cardkingdom.com/mtg/card-sleeves/iridian-matte-sleeves-100-ct?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=giftguidesupplies_112524″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Iridian Matte sleeves also come in handy 100-sleeve packs.
Protect Your Deck
Once your deck is sleeved, you need a way to keep it together and protect it as you take it from place to place. No more throwing a rubber band around the cards and calling it good – we can do a lot better than that nowadays.
The Ultimate Guard Boulders are the stone classic (pun totally intended) when it comes to simple, functional design across a wide variety of colors and styles. And the Return to Earth series of Boulders even makes the deck boxes more sustainable to boot!
If you want truly heavy-duty protection, it’s hard to beat the BoxGods line of deckboxes. Made out of aerospace-grade aluminum, these deck boxes can rake a beating so that your cards don’t have to. High quality magnets ensure that the box won’t pop open. If you want serious protection for your decks, this is where you go.
But what about carrying more than one deck at a time? And why limit yourself to just cards in your deckboxes? The Gamegenic Dungeon 1100+ Convertible Deck Box can hold most anything you need, from other individual deck boxes to playmats, toploaders, and anything in between. Perfect for hauling around a cube or a selection of Commander decks (or even both at once) the Dungeon is the ultimate in collection transportation.
play in Style
I did mention playmats in that last paragraph, didn’t I? A playmat may seem frivolous at first, and yet the more you play with one, the more you come to understand that they do just make life easier – not to mention they’re a handy way to show off some style.
I mean, come on. I have to put this here, don’t I?

These cute creatures pop up every now and then in Magic, and we decided to see what they might get up to on Halloween a little while ago. The result? These cute-as-heck playmats!
For the beginning (or even veteran) Commander players out there, we present the card Kingdom Command Center V2. Designed to help keep track of all the extra information required in a game of Commander, everything you need to know about the current game is just a quick glance away. While using it for a bit will help make you into a Commander player who doesn’t need to play with the Command Center, you won’t want to!
