CLOSES CLEANLY. OPENS FAST.
Magnetic deck boxes made for the Commander deck you actually carry.
Your deck box should not be the fiddliest part of game night. Layer3D makes magnetic deck boxes with room for a sleeved Commander deck, the extras that travel with it, and artwork that makes the right deck easy to spot in your bag.
LESS FUSS AT THE TABLE
A magnetic lid is a small detail that changes the whole routine.
A deck box earns its place when it makes the part before and after a game feel easier. You want to pull the right deck from the bag, open it without a latch fighting back, set up without scattering cards, and pack everything away with the same confidence. The closure is part of that job. It should feel secure in normal travel, then disappear from the routine once you sit down to play.
Layer3D magnetic deck boxes are built around a full Commander loadout, not a bare stack of cards. Current boxes are designed for up to 115 double-sleeved cards or 135 single-sleeved cards. That leaves practical room for the sleeves, token package, and protected commander that tend to come with an actual deck, rather than asking you to squeeze everything against the lid.
A closure that keeps the routine simple
The magnetic lid closes cleanly when the deck is packed, then lifts away at the table without a clip, strap, or tiny piece to manage. That is useful when you are setting up in a crowded pod and just want the box to do its job quietly.
Room for more than the card count
Commander is a 100-card format, but the real loadout often includes sleeves, tokens, counters, and a top-loaded commander. A little sensible capacity gives those pieces a place without turning packing up into a tight-fitting puzzle.
Keep the commander out front
A front slot gives a top-loaded commander its own place outside the main stack. It is easier to recognize in a row of deck boxes, easier to pick up when the game begins, and less likely to disappear among the rest of the cards.
Divide it only when it helps
Two removable dividers let you separate tokens or a small side stack when that suits the deck. Leave the interior open when it does not. The storage should follow your habits instead of forcing every deck into the same arrangement.
BUILT FOR THE TRIP, NOT JUST THE SHELF
Pack a deck with the way you travel in mind.
Before choosing a magnetic deck box, picture your actual game night. Maybe the deck stays on a shelf most weeks and comes out for one regular pod. Maybe it shares a backpack with a playmat, dice pouch, water bottle, and three other decks. The right box is not only about the number printed on a capacity label. It is about whether the cards feel organized and protected through the journey you repeat.
Start with the deck sleeved the way you play it. Add the tokens and accessories that truly travel with it. If your commander lives in a top loader, account for that too. Those details give you a more honest picture of the space you need than choosing a box for an unsleeved stack and hoping it works out later. A magnetic lid is most satisfying when the interior already fits the routine underneath it.
For ordinary travel, the lid closes cleanly so the deck stays together as part of a packed kit. A good bag or card case still matters, especially if the box is sharing space with heavier gear. The goal is not to treat a deck box like an indestructible vault. It is to make a normal game-night setup feel considered, easy to carry, and ready to use when you arrive.
YOUR DECK SHOULD BE EASY TO RECOGNIZE
Make the outside feel as intentional as what is inside.
Once the practical fit is handled, the exterior gets to do something more enjoyable. Commander decks develop a personality of their own. You know the color identity, the creature type, the favorite line of play, and usually the story you tell when someone asks what the deck does. Its storage can carry some of that character instead of becoming another anonymous black rectangle in the bag.
Layer3D artwork is built into colored filament layers as part of the print. The raised lines and color shifts are part of the surface itself, not a paper decal or wrap placed over a plain case. That gives the box texture you can see and feel, while still keeping its practical role front and center. Pick a moonlit design for the deck full of graveyard tricks, a mana symbol for the color you always return to, or a dragon for the list that deserves a little theatre.
That personality has a practical benefit too. A distinctive deck box is easier to find when several decks come along for the night. The front commander slot helps identify the list. The artwork gives your eye another quick signal. When it is time to pack down after a long game, those small recognisable details are often more helpful than they sound.
Each Layer3D deck box is printed and hand-finished to order by Carrie in Blue Springs, Missouri. Slight layer texture and finish variation are part of the handmade character. What stays consistent is the reason for the box: make your deck easier to carry, easier to set up, and more satisfying to bring back to the table.
A DIFFERENT COLOR OR FIT IN MIND?
Start with the deck, then choose the details that matter.
An existing Layer3D design may already have the capacity, magnetic lid, and commander slot you need. If it is close but not quite right, a color change or size adjustment may be worth discussing. A custom request is most useful when it begins with a practical goal, such as a specific sleeving setup, a regular token package, or a look that better suits the deck.
Share the details of what you carry and what you want to change. Carrie can confirm whether an existing design can be adapted or whether the request needs a more involved quote before production begins.

Frequently asked questions
Will the magnetic lid stay closed in a bag?
Layer3D deck boxes use a magnetic lid designed to close cleanly for ordinary game-night travel. A deck box is best carried in a bag or case that keeps it from being crushed or heavily knocked around, just as you would carry any cards you care about.
How many sleeved cards fit in a magnetic Layer3D deck box?
Current Layer3D deck boxes are designed for up to 115 double-sleeved cards or 135 single-sleeved cards. That gives a 100-card Commander deck useful room for its usual tokens and small extras.
Does the lid get in the way while playing?
The lid lifts off for a clean opening at the table, with no separate latch to work around. Once the box is open, you can set the lid aside and focus on the deck.
Can I keep a commander in a top loader?
Yes. Current Layer3D Commander boxes include a front slot for a top-loaded commander, keeping it separate from the main deck and easy to identify.
Can I ask for a different color or a custom size?
Many existing designs can be adjusted for color or size. Send the details through the custom-order page and Carrie can confirm what is practical before quoting the work.
