I’m an LGS store owner, and will happily stock your deckbox for my players. We’re all proud supporters of your work! Edit: Mine arrived today, and I just want to say… dear lord. PLEASE LET ME STOCK THESE

It should not be understated how impressive meeting the delivery estimate (one month is whatever) is. For a first time kickstarter, and a physical product? That's just... Impossible, unheard of

I was not playing MTG when the Kickstarter happened and I'm very bummed that I missed out on grabbing one. I'm hopeful that it becomes widely available in the future.

Ok. Got to admit that ending was totally unexpected and epic.

Thank you, Professor, for picking us as your companion on this amazing and magical journey!

I sincerely hope these become available again. I couldn't afford it when they were first available, but man, they are definitely on my bucket list.

As I sit here today watching all your commander match’s from a year ago ;The plays of older cards revives memories I thought I’d lost. My cards were passed to the younger kinfolk to add to and enjoy . My Son and Nephew got me involved again in 2001 . I have recently picked back up with Arena play. Thank you and your Guest for such entertaining videos. My best to you and future endeavors.

I am still sad that I returned to magic a few days too late to discover this perfection. I hope that second chances do exist and I get a chance to both support prof and have the deckbox of my dreams

I got my Academic last week. I love it. My wife wants one too. So I would love for this to be made available again. Either through Kickstarter or my LGS.

Didn't realize shuffle up and play came out of that kickstarter, glad my money went to use to grow the channel even further along with funding a passion project!

so happy to see this finally coming towards the end, I should get my own "order" on monday & am undescribably excited for it. Really appreciates the work you've put towards both this, the community as well as anything else you've done so far

i remember watching the video where you announced the box, and its awesome to see someone who cares so much put so much effort into a product for the TCG community. You're the man

Congrats on this collab.

My package arrived at the best possible time - today on my birthday! Thank you so much, The Professor and The Team 💜 Beautiful Purple/Black Exclusive is lit!

I'm so happy for you, Professor. Your channel got me into Magic and your deck box and sleeve reviews were a big part of guiding me towards quality products from Ultimate Guard, Dragon Shield and Legion to protect my card collection. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. After all those years of tireless and critical deck box reviews, you finally have your own solution and you deserve it. I missed the Kickstarter (had no idea this was thing actually, until now), so I'll be on the lookout for this if it ever arrives to the shores of the UK.

I have just received my 4 Academics today, and thank you so much for making this dream into a reality. I don’t even have that many Commander decks but you have inspired me to fill these amazing deck boxes with them.

I had no idea Shuffle Up and Play was a result of the funds the Kickstarter provided! It makes me wish I had been able to support it now. Shuffle Up and Play is my favorite series for Magic games content; I love watching people play formats that I struggle to play!

Shuffle Up & Play quickly became my top actual play show for MTG. I don't have time to watch many, but I manage to watch all of Shuffle Up & Play. The changing formats, the deck gimmicks, and importantly the friendly banter.

Received mine a short while ago and I am very pleased with it. Joined the Kickstarter primarily to give something back for all the great content created all these years. Very happy that this made Shuffle Up & Play possible, I enjoy that show a lot.

Professor, this journey has been incredible! You've given so much to this community and it has culminated to the overwhelming success of the Academic. Your genuine love and care for this game and the community is felt and we all appreciate you so much! I'm so glad this was a success and I cannot wait to get mine and play with my friends. I look forward to the day I get to meet you, shake your hand, and bawl my eyes out in appreciation for you, but until then, the Acedemic will do. You're the best, Brian!! Never stop being awesome!!!

shout out to all the players that backed the Kickstarter campaign and helped bring Shuffle Up and Play to life

I absolutely love my Academic, I have 2 edh decks in it, along with a plethora of dice and other things in it. Thank you so much for the awesome product, and yes I did test turn it over and try to shake it open.

I just want to thank you. I have lost all of my cards twice, and swore off the game for over 12 years. I came across your videos a little under a year ago, and they got me to build, and buy (all singles!) one of my old decks and get back into the game. Since then, reconnecting with a community I thought was lost, or at least so different I wouldn't fit in, has been a huge help for me in these harder times. Your in depth and informed opinions on cost vs value has been amazing for me. Unfortunately, I didn't see you Kickstarter video until it was way to late, but I hope you can bring this amazing product to a more mass market, as I would be one of the 1st (1st reprinted?) to jump on board. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this silly, complex, frustrating, and amazing game, and all the awesome people that love it.

I just bought a gamegenic deck box the other day and it had an ad for you on it. so cool, been watching for years. Congrats!

While I could not afford to join the Kickstarter, I've loved watching your progress with making your dream come true! The Academic looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations Professor! Job well done!❤

Seriously cannot wait to get mine in the mail. I never, and mean NEVER back Kickstarter projects because of the high rate of non-delivery. I knew yours would be different. One of the shining examples of how Kickstarter can bring people's dreams to life, if done correctly.

Hello from Canada! Just got my Academic today and it's everything you promised it would be. I am absolutely in love with it, you and your team have done an excellent job.

Can't wait for mine to show up! I am also happy to hear this is what helped fund Shuffle Up & Play. Easily my favorite gameplay series for MtG. Keep up the great work Prof!

A year ago I didn’t have the money to spare for this. Now I do and would happily wait another year to receive it. I hope Gamengenic does make more and I’m glad they have your permission to do so.

I'm very excited to see Prof start incorporating the flamethrower test into all of his deckbox reviews!

It’s absolutely beautiful Prof! I’m beyond impressed with both the form and function! Such a privilege to have been a part of this!

I cannot tell you how excited my friends and I are to get this deck box. I shared this to all my friends who play magic and proud to say the 4 of us bought in. I even built a new commander deck in anticipation. Great stuff Prof!

I got mine about a week ago and it’s been incredible! An A+ product for sure, I’ll definitely be requesting these at my LGS, I couldn’t have asked for a better quality deck box and I just wanted to say thank you guys for your hard work to make this happen!

Congrats Prof. I wasn't able to participate in this unfortunately, but I'm so happy to see this come to fruition. If these ever are in stores I'll definitely be grabbing one.

So I've wanted to say a few things about the kickstarter and this seems like the best place to do so. First and foremost, love my deck boxes! They came in last week and I immediately loaded them up and took them to an LGS to play. Second, the packaging really is excellent. I was delighted opening it up and seeing the TCC emblem show through. Finally, I normally don't do live plays, but Shuffle up and Play has been great. Fun guests, diverse in both game play and background, I'm happy that I was able to contribute to it in any way. Thanks for everything you do for the community, Prof and team!

I'm usually sceptical when it comes to Kickstarters, but this was a MUST in my opinion. I've learned EVERYTHING I know about MTG through this channel and your amazing content. I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on my box - I'm so happy and proud to be able to support such a great community, and a wonderful creator!

I’m excited for mine to get here! Thank you for continuing to make great content in a time where I’ve been ‘cost sensitive’ and feeling the product fatigue. I’ve not been watching as much mtg content from others, but I always love watching your channel!

Just arrived mine to Valencia, Spain! It's so great and the unpacking experience was really neat with all those little details and messages. A+ and glad to back this channel.

I'm just happy to support the work everyone put into these amazing products! Just got my 2 - 133 and 2 - 266 boxes this afternoon and wow...the quality is exceptional! Thank you Prof and Team!

Received without issue in the UK. Great work. I love it. This box will proudly house my 2 favourites decks. Congratulations 🎉❤

Being patient is killing me. I cannot wait. I am so excited for this to arrive at my doorstep. “Hey, prof, thank you so much”

Got my Academic yesterday! Huge fan of the teal/pink box I've got, fits my mint and pink sleeves wonderfully. Thanks for such a great product, Prof and GameGenic!

After some back and forth with chasing down UPS, I got my boxes yesterday and they're absolutely fantastic. I love them so much. I feel like I should have splurged on more extra stuff during the kickstarter but what I got I love. Great product. And a fantastically managed kickstarter. The fact that a project this large delivered out basically on time is a great accomplishment. There are some kickstarter projects I'm waiting on that are well over a year late, and most run months past due. This was delivered mostly on time, and with great communication each step of the way. I had zero fears or doubts while waiting. Can't wait to take these out to play, they've already been played with one group, and I'm so pleased to have nice boxes finally. EDIT: Also Shuffle Up and Play is fast becoming one of my fave KZfaq "shows". It's a lot of fun to watch. I'm glad it exists.

Received mine today....IT'S AWESOME!!!!!! better than I expected it to be. Thank you TCC & Gamegenics for making a wonderful project but also thank you to everyone else who backed this Kickstarter with me to even make this possible, we as a TCC community really are an awesome group.

Cant wait to get my hands on mine when it arrives here in Brasil, first time backing up a project ever on kickstarter! Glad to be a part of it

Professor, you've done an amazing job living up to the demands of your Kickstarter. Congratulations! You've earned it!

This will be my first deck box since the 00's and I'm very excited to put it to work! Great job, Prof! Thank you for providing a wonderful product!

I am loving my Academic +233 and it's reinvigorated my love of EDH, I haven't played in person since the pandemic and will be playing this upcoming week for the first time in 3 years. The fact that my purchase also went to fund one of my favorite KZfaq series is a ray of light. Thank you Prof for being such a delight.

I was hoping for an announcement that this is becoming a regular product. It looks incredible!

As I showed you on instagram in my story, my "limited edition box" arrived on saturday, 25th here in germany. I'm so proud to hold one in my hand and thanks for all your hard work and your devotion to this community.

This was a joy to witness and be a part of. Such an incredible experience receiving and opening mine. It was packed with such care and the quality is incredible. Looking forward to giving my favourite decks a new home.

Glad to see this update, the thumbnail had me hoping this was a new product review though. We haven't had one of those in a while.

Hoping to see extras be sold one day. Such a good deck box that I absolutely need

I jumped on this opportunity when announced and can say I am totally ecstatic about this product. It's the first time I have ever participated in a kickstarter and it was a great experience. Proff, congratulations on a glaring success. Thank you for doing this. I am so happy to own one of these incredible deck boxes. Cheers friend!

Amazing skit; made me laugh a lot. Happy to have helped sponsor Shuffle Up and Play! Looking forward to receiving my order!

Wish I had known about this kickstarter when it was up. Just hopped back into mtg about 5 months ago, so I didn't know this existed. I'm happy that this is out there though, I will definitely look for one asap.

You know prof a big contributor to your success with the Kickstarter is that you communicate with us. Safety is a big part of what makes us feel comfortable buying a product. There's been a huge amount Kickstarters that just flop and never return anything to the consumers but with you we are confident we will get a top quality product without having to worry when it will arrive. Thank you Prof for everything you do!

I received mine yesterday, and I want to make a special thanks as a Flesh and Blood player. I'm not sure if it was intentional to make the perfect FAB box specifically but you did it. Fitting hard cases into various deck boxes was always a gamble, and they naturally never seemed right for them. But Mini-Snaps fit right into the main compartment and I can fit six (!!) in one of the drawers. It comfortable fits a whole CC deck in the main compartment with hard cases, and the foam divider it's nice and snug. Many people compared this to the Gamegenic Cards' Lair 400+, which is fair overall, but the drawers are actually just a little bit deeper, and it makes all the difference because I can now fit a whole blitz deck and commoner deck in addition to CC where I could not with the Cards' Lair (though that has so much room for more or less every deck you own in the main compartment, feels like overkill). It still has plenty of room for a ton of dice and even a small ledger. It does all of this while being roughly the same size as the great Gamegenic Stronghold, which I might just give away now that I have this one. If you prefer to put a smaller deck box inside the Academic, I was surprised to see it could fit an entire Ultimate Guard sidewinder (thanks to the removable divider, stroke of genius), which the Cards Lair 400+ could not! My only regret is I can't really tell people to go out and buy it because the time for that has passed, but here's hoping that won't always be the case. You did a great job, Prof and his hardworking team!

I just picked up mine from the post. Thank you Professor! Amazing deck box, great quality, exciting unboxing and a reason to finally try to play Merfolk with these new tokens. I am a bit sad I couldn't grab a hand signed one, but that only means you have to do another kickstarter, so I can have a second chance! :) Thank you!

I love how gamegenic cares about your voice and opinion so much that not only did they work with you on a box, they put your grading and a sentence or two of your review on their packaging. Can't wait for my academics to finally show up

I NEED this this is literally the deck box I was looking for!! I hope you can make it available everywhere

Man.. im just now getting back into magic after some years and how i would love one of these boxes. Ive watched your videos for years and you have always been my go to for card protection and honesty. If there are ever anymore or gamegenic decides to stock some please keep us informed. Thanks prof

Just wanted to say thank you. I got my box earlier this week and I have to say this is the best product of its type I have ever owned. I hope someday others can easily acquire these as well and enjoy the pleasure of owning one I now feel. You did us all a great favour producing this item. I hope you feel justifiably satisfied on a job well done.

I missed hearing about this project until 1 week after it was already closed. I really hope that either Gamegenic continues to offer a version or that you start another kickstarter.

Still patiently waiting for mine ❤ I’m going to actually reach out to the Kickstarter team as I do have a few questions! Thanks for everything, Prof!

I'm incredibly happy you were able to get this done! I'm very excited and I eagerly await for mine to arrive!

Love the deckbox. Have been trying it out for a couple days now and I like that I can store a bunch of cool accessories for a certain favorite deck in the top component and still have room for swap out cards, tokens, custom play pieces, and some other etsy knick knacks. Great job prof!

Man, I'm so excited and so happy for Prof and the TCC crew.

Proud to have been a backer, proud to be a student of the Tolarian Community College, proud of you Prof xx

The unboxing experience itself was sublime. Thank you again and again. I now have the perfect box to share my shared EDH cards across my 3 decks.

What a great video. I love your work and this product looks to be something great. I am happy that I was fortunate enough to pledge into the Kickstarter last year and now I am waiting for my own box + playmat. Very excited. Thanks for everything Prof

Still waiting on my email saying mine has shipped. Been closely following the Kickstarter updates over the last year! Proud of all you accomplished Prof!

I can’t wait for mine to be ready for shipping. I placed a large order and don’t even remember what exactly was in it. I want to leave it as a surprise for when the time comes. Congrats again, Professor!

My wonderful amazing wife got me the deck box, the matts, all the stuff for my birthday and fathers day, it just came in the mail yesterday and i gotta say im FLOORED. I love everything that was included. It was well worth the wait. Im so happy we got to a part of the kickstarter and hope everyone gets as much enjoyment from theirs as i will mine. A++ !

Ugh. I can't believe I missed this!!! Congratulations on the successful Kickstarter and I'm so grateful for it because of Shuffle Up & Play! I'm a Pokemon player and I love that series with everything in me!

As a long-time buyer of GameGenic products and a long-time viewer of your channel that has just received his Academic Deckboxes - thank you so much for all the passion you poured into the product. It was truly a dream come true to witness this team-up. So happy this came to pass and I’m looking forward to using these for years to come! I can’t say this enough - thanks, Prof!

I hope this gets another release because when I saw it the Kickstarter was already over. I'm pretty new to Magic and this looks like a really good box to put my cards aside from the box they came in

Good for you man! I'm new to this community, but your channel has been by far the best resource, along with MTG Arena to get me up to speed. I was wondering about somewhere nice to keep my growing bits - currently some old tin. I'll be heading to my LGS to sit in for my first Friday Night Magic next week. I'll be sure to make a show of my horrendous tin storage and say 'if only you stocked those fancy Academic boxes that TCC made :D:D:D

Just popping in, can't stay, I'm playing "Login IV" beta this weekend... Just wanted to say congrats and thank you Prof. I love my new favorite MTG box and I'm honored to have been actually included in helping you to realize a dream. YOUR OWN CUSTOM BOX! It's (" ...perfectly splendid... ") awesome!!!

Got my Academic this morning! It is perfect!

I was so excited when I first saw the announcement video about the Kickstarter on the Academic. And now I'M EVEN MORE EXCITED to see it finally arrive! I can't wait to bring to all my competitions!

My Academic got here yesterday! I must assume expectations were high... and you overachieved on every single detail!!! The box it came in, texture, easy to use, everything! I loved your product so much that I wish I had ordered more deckboxes! haha Congratulations on the great kickstarter, Prof!

Professor, I was introduced to you in high school by one of my best friends in 2017 and I've been following you ever since. Seeing you go on this incredible journey has been heartwarming. Hopefully I can convince my LGS to carry some of the Academic

Professor I hope there is some way you can get Gamegenic to continue to produce your amazing card box. I'm unfortunately a new fan to the channel and was not around for the Kickstarter and am seeing your deck boxes go for up to $500 on TCGplayer. It looks like such a quality product and I hope it's something I can add to my collection one day if they can be produced again, even if it is with a price increase to cover costs it would be well with it for such a great product.

Honestly, Promising February and getting it done March isn't that bad a delay. I've seen kickstarters with months of delays.

it came yesterday in the mail (italy here), both the quality of the box, the playmat and tokens is outstanding, the art and foiling of the tokens are beautyfull. Professor and his team did a fantastic job

I missed this kickstarter but this is awesome and still wanted to say the work and care you put into this is the gold standard for what kickstarted projects -should- be, so thank you.

As much as I'm genuinely heartbroken to have missed this opportunity, I'm so excited that they're finally starting to get to their homes, and into the community. Even if this is a "one and done" release, what it represents to the fanbase is something I'm going to remember for as long as I play. This production isn't something that could have ever come from a company directly, this box is a million voices screaming their love of the gathering and it warms whatever occupies the space within my person that is often referred to as a soul. If I can't get one of yours, I'll have to learn how to make my own, I'm not seeing this as "missing out" on something once in a lifetime, but instead I'm going to use the feelings of personal frustration with my financial situation to motivate me in putting the talents and skills collected in my life towards creating my own letter of dedication to the hobby. My own locus of passion. I'm kinda excited.

I’m proud of your success, despite all the hiccups. I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, and am bummed i didnt get my first 2K box the way I shouldve, but I’ve been a subscriber since I was a teenager, and I’m proud to be part of this. I wish you good health and happiness going forward 😇

Beyond excited ... got notification my order will be arriving this Wednesday!!!!! 🇦🇺 ❤ first kickstarter to back, Great experience!!!!!!

Hey Prof.! I know you said to not comment on the video for an update on our orders, but I have not heard back yet on mine. I do believe I messaged your team as properly instructed. This is my first kickstarter I’ve ever participated in and just hoping I did everything correctly! Much love, and congrats on The Academic!

Congratulations, Professor. I'm happy that the Kickstarter did so well that you were able to create Shuffle Up & Play. I hope it continues for many seasons. I look forward to when my Academics arrive.

I received the teal/pink box I pledged for and love it! If Canadian retailers sell The Academic, I'll definitely pick up another. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to both receive a quality product and to show my support to this great channel!

My Academic came a few weeks ago (hello from Germany!) and it is, indeed, amazing. Even opening the box was a pleasure - I almost don't want to throw it out xD Also, I am so happy that we got Shuffle Up and Play out of it - it's one of my favourite MtG-gameplay shows for the sheer variety of games being played!

This is by far the best designed deck box for pretty much any format I've seen, especially EDH. I can't imagine the hours that went into it's design and production! Amazing work all around. This would sell in every LGS in the world hands down I reckon.

Thanks Professor for everything you do for the community and also for the success. Hopefully Gamegenic decides somehow to crate even more of The Academic for those who missed the Kickstarter. Also looking forward to any future projects if any you decide to do!

I could not be more happy with my deck box. Thank you for taking the leap and doing this project.

I have I got mine a week ago and I can't be happier with the quality and practicality of this box. Thank you so much Professor

Got mine today! Thank you all the way from Malaysia, Prof!

As a card collector, i can say i have only bought a small amount of gamegenics products to help store and organize some of my rare cards. With that said everything I have bought from them has been top tier quality. Very glad to see this collaboration!
