I don't know how it got to this point.
Welcome to my most private space, the place where I keep some of my most treasured possessions (MTG cards). I got into Magic: the Gathering about 5 years ago, during Amonkhet block. It started with playing Standard, then Modern, then Commander, and now Pioneer. So many formats, so many cards.
I like to keep my cards organized, so that I know exactly where to look. They're sorted by set in long boxes, and organized by rarity, color and alphabetically. Other cards that don't belong in any box (like EDH precon cards or random promo foils) go into either a bulk box or one of my many binders.

Interesting that some people are into "new" cards, rather than very oldschool collectors of Dual lands and such. Id rather trade for old stuff, but having some of the nicer art as "collections" in frames is a nice touch. I like to store "1 year" worth of cards in a big white 4 row box, and if that gets full it will show me "thats too much, stop buying cards".

Thanks for sharing! It's always so cool to see other people's decks, storing ideas, preferences. That's how we keep ourself strong as a community! I started collecting since the first Innistrad, but due to absence of the ability to play just occasionally collected some cards. Foils on one side of the binder, Legendaries on the other. Planeswalkers in the middle. :-) Thanks to Spelltable I finally can play some EDH, so also started altering my Elf deck... Really like the framed cards! They are great!

That is a Wonderful collection! I am also a fan of the Eldraine showcase adventure cards and have a full foil set of them myself, ive collected all the kaldheim gods and all of the archive spells. Ive decided to compress my collection by sleeving everything that will not be traded in one color of sleeve so i can exchange them universally between the 5 or so decks I actually play with. All my planeswalkers are in a binder. Im currently collecting from phyrexian related sets and writing down decklists for what I have so i can configure them quickly. (That way all my sleeves get some wear so there is no visual cue between new cards and old.) Having all my main playable collection in similar sleeves really helps with swapping and increases their longevity. I love the way you displayed the eldraine cards- wow. Im selling all my cards that arent in my main playable collection to free up space. This will reduce my cards from about 70,000 to 6,000 and leave me with 8 commander decks, 5 60card decks and two carry ready cases. Im keeping all my snow land- love those.

Wow! Your wall art is amazing! Your addiction to cardboard is severe, I'm afraid. I recognize it as I would my own. I started with Amonkhet as well and learned the game through a fantastic group of people at the LGS. So much incoming cardboard! It eventually became easiest to put the rares/mythics into ten categories (WUBRG, multicolored legendary creatures, multicolored, artifacts, planeswalkers and lands) and doing the same with uncommons and commons. Each section is arranged legendary creature/ench/instant/sorcery/creature. Roughly alphabetically for the R/M (a-d, e-h, i-l, m-p, q-t, u-z) - they are in binders I bought at the local thrift shop - and alphabetically for the uncommons and commons I keep. Cardboard crack. It's cardboard crack.
