This is like watching your uncle trying to blend in with your high school friends. And succeeding.

01:48 - Draw me like one of your Ravnican girls 😄

Prof is too cool for school. Literally. He stopped working at schools to teach us on KZfaq about MTG and MTG accessories. Thanks Prof!

I actually would love a refresher on this topic of bags for MTG with all the magics and new events happening nowadays.

I see another problem with the first backpack (the Citadel?), as having "Ultra-Pro" tagged on your backpack pretty much screams "steal me, I have valuable cards inside".

My Gods, those socks!!! I'm blind!

Can I just say, that I LOVE this suit? Prof is lookin fly as hell, as the kids say

That ammonite looks PERFECT for me. Seems like it’ll make me feel more comfortable walking to and from the places I play at. That power back compartment is also an amazing touch! It’s also good to see other people use the power bank one of my coworkers recommended me! Might pick up this bag when I have the money.

Never underestimate a good backpack! Fantastic video as always Professor!

13:46 Additional pockets on the shoulder straps for easy access

Can we get a Card called ''Tolarian Hipster?''

Big fan. This is a great video. I appreciate how thorough and widespread your reviews are. Keep up the great work!

The ultimate guard one is a really good backpack. Pick pocketing at large events is a thing, and you’ll be sorry when a 1000-2000 $ deck that you took years to put together is gone. Personally i always walk keeping my backpack by the handle, and always keep it between my legs when i play or look at cards at a stand. But yes a dedicated anti-theft backpack would be a good investment!

REALLY digging your suit with the green vest and all. Great review! Thanks :)

Great review. I have been really curious about the Ultimate Guard backpack since they released it.

I've had the basics bag for awhile and It is awesome! Great to transport decks while on my motorcycle.

Auto thumbs up from me for adding 80s lingo into the video! Prof, you are both amazing and hysterical to watch, thank you!!!

Already waiting for part 2, nicely done prof!

I like your humour so much, always a pleasure to watch your videos!

A high quality video, as always! 😀

I love u prof and thank you for running this channel....I love MTG but not really wizards so I've made a 10 deck modern proxy cube and have fun each Friday Sometimes I open some packs to support wotc

Man I use to play MTG back in college and I miss it. A group of us all played and we only built fun legacy decks to play in a group (up to 5 to 10 players at once) and it was amazing. That feeling of going to our playing table and unzipping our bags, rolling out our new custom playing mat we got over christmas, rolling out our dice and opening that new deck with fresh card sleaves was the best feeling. Now I stick to playing MTG Arena because the cost of playing MTG is so high to do tournaments. In our friend group we played all cards, the only rule was that we couldnt build an overpowered deck to wipe out everyone.

3:36 What if I told you the flap probably was intended as playmat? :P

Thank you so much for this vid. Been looking for something to store more board games on the go and that bag got my interest. Second best to that would be the smart and final tote bag. Reusable bag, strong folded plastic, sturdy and can hold about 3-5 board games depending on sizes. Currently for me have dice throne s1 and the s2 collectors taking up most of the space, on small gap have deadwood and recently from Kickstarter called fire in the library. Then sitting on top of the docs throne boxes is my star realms storage box and star realms frontiers.

Great job prof. I was waiting for this review since the day the Ammonite was spoiled.

After doing my research, I picked up a GOgroove Full-Size DSLR Camera Backpack Case on Amazon and would highly recommend it. The backpack looks high-end and the material has a quality feel, the interior can be fully customized for all sizes of deck boxes (which are easily accessible), there is a hidden compartment that fits a trade binder, the top compartment can hold a full box plus any dice or other accessories, the front flap perfectly fits a digital life total pad, and the sidecar pocket/easy-clip strap is ideal for holding a play mat. The best part is that it’s only $60. Prof-would love to hear your review!

I like the Inked Gaming Crate! I was looking for something like this to hold 4x KMC 1000 card boxes + supplies for EDH games with my friends. Definitely going to buy this soon :D

i really like yours reviews, nice job, thanks a lot!

Great video! The ultimate guard looks like my bobby anti-theft backpack which I use as mtg back pack.

I think one of the main issues I see with the Ammonite is that if you load up a lot of larger boxes into the deck box area it is in the opposite configuration of how you actually want to load a backpack, with heavier objects close to your body, and around your mid-back. I would be concerned with having this loaded up and walking around with it for a significant amount of time since there is no consideration to lumbar support. If it has only a deck box or two, then I wouldn't see an issue, but you can get Anti-Theft camera bags in this style for 1/3rd the price with similar if not better material.

Thank you for the review. I think I'll get that Amz Basic pack (though the Ammonite looks amazing, way too expensive for me at this time, heh). Subscribed.

So i recently won the the Ammonite backpack from the FacetoFace games Tour weekend this weekend. I remember how good this backpack is from the review that was over 3 years ago. I'm super excited to start using it. It's going to be nice to not have to drop stuff in them and ruin my back and potentially risk damaging my laptop that i often bring along.

A 16 min. long video about backpacks for MTG cards? Gotta love the Prof!

Drat! I thought this would be the dramatic return of Kid Young! Someday...

"Additional pockets on the shoulders for easy access" So nice you said it twice XD

As a board game enthusiast this was an exceedingly useful video! :)

Nothing to do with backpacks but I just got my first order from card kingdom for an hazoret edh deck I'm building. Thank you for recommending them. Quality of the order is outstanding!

7:13 - Coolest dad on the beach with all those board games!

13:45 really enforcing the additional pockets on the shoulder straps for easy access.

This was awesome, that ammonite looks fantastic

I use an Oakley tactical field gear standard issue. I have 8 Commander decks in satin towers, Playmat in the plastic case, a spindown box, and a dice satchel with over 100 D20 with plenty of room for more and more and it holds up to the weight of all that as well. Expensive but perfect

Professor you're just the best. us down in Tucson love you. keep up the great work!

My bag of choice is a behemoth meant for outdoor hiking/backpacking. Holds 19 fatpacks in the main compartment plus has outer compartments that can hold things like playmats and dice. I can carry all my commander decks and my entire trade collection in that thing. Stupid thing weighs 40 pounds fully loaded and cost $180, but it fit my desires.

The Amazon bag is my favorite!! I got it because of the video and I love it.

I love the small touches, mainly the socks and comic sans

Ordered the Ammonite backpack... a couple guys at my LGS have it and it’s dope.

I have been using Ultimate Guard exclusively for awhile, and I was waiting for this for months. This was the icing on the cake, and once my case of transparent Katana sleeves comes in, my gear collection will be complete. I don't play Magic very much, mostly Cardfight! Vanguard, but this bag is amazing for what I have. Currently I carry nine decks (mix of MTG, CFV, BF, and FOW), a 4 column binder (standing in front of deck boxes), a playmat (sadly no place for a case if you use all 6 deck spots like I do, so mine is folded in three in the small pocket), my reusable Evernote notebook (also in small pocket), and my laptop (in big pocket). By far the most functional bag I've ever used, as I can carry my laptop, notebook, and binder and still be able to take nine decks with me in only one bag. And the extra features like the hidden pockets and the power bank slot are actually quite functional since I can put my phone on the charge without leaving it at an outlet somewhere. Granted, this wasn't 100% necessary when it comes to the anti-theft features, as I know everyone at our shop and they've never had issues with theft, but I absolutely love Ultimate Guard and wanted to upgrade my gear haul.

The professor looks amazing in the thumbnail 😂😂😂

Side note: The Inked pack looks like it would be a good fit for your average (obsessed) D&D players, as that game tends to require more than a few hardbound books of similar size to a TCG folder. Add in the miniatures that many players adopt for PC's or just cool looking mini's for your DM to borrow and that space gets filled rapidly.

This is actually a pretty big one for me. Since I can't drive due to health reasons I rely heavily on ride share and public transportation. Having a backpack that can handle what I need to bring into the office and my gaming supplies is a must!

Another great review!!!

I asked you last week to review the ammonite and you delivered! thank you so much!

I've been eyeing the Inked Gaming crate for my fiances DnD supplies/books for awhile now. This has made my decision easier lol.

Hecketh yes my compatriots. We have obtained the review by the professor. That’s totally radical

Loved that USB drive slot

Prof's sunglasses have returned!

great review ty

You're so cool professor always making that cabbage! Haha you're killing me!

Great video, my dude 😎

Mad props to you Prof for owning Dominion! What a fun game!

That thumbnail is all I needed to wake up in the morning!

I'm not sure the bags shown here are still available so an update on this would be much appriciated

Like the last review I just came for ultimate guard part of the video :). Great review though!

I'm pretty satisfied with my fjellraven bag and the laptop space is perfect for a 3 by 3 binder

I think there could be an addendum to the Citadel that if you frequent fnm and game groups, that ability to do both things, even if only averagly, becomes a bonus.

Can you do an update video for this topic? Any new products on the market for backpacks for deck boxes and 4 across binders

Geekon ultimate boardgame pack pack is what I use and it seems much better than the 150 option with expanded room but it depends on how much stuff you want to carry. If you want a large magic cube and binders and a laptop and water bottles and snacks and twilight imperium and 3 to 4 more large board games and a top compartment for 3 fat pack boxes of magic decks the ultimate backpack may be eight for you.

I use an LL bean back pack. During the start of the school year, they are normally on sale

I'm loving the socks!

Reflective safety strip for night walkers. That line made me giggle.

Managed to get the ammonite for £65 (half off) only found this video after so thanks for the reassurance! :D

The miniature made me come so fast !

Very sharp looking suit Prof!

I really love your content.

I put an arkhive into a drawstring backpack. It holds 4 or 5 decks, 2 playmats, a miniature trade binder, some cliff bars, and my lucky Garruk plushie.

You love the Ammonite so much, you said extra pockets twice xD

It's a little hard to tell at the beginning, but I think the professor likes the Amazon Basics camera bag, just a little bit.

That whole outfit is so well coordinated :P

Fantastic. Good video Prof. Some good options here

Now It can’t be unseen: the professor posing Kibler style.

The prof's socks are amazing 😍

Omg I LOVE that ultimate backpack 😍

i love the thumbnail man

Love the socks so rad

I've got a laptop backpack that is near identical to the ultimate guard backpack, the only differences are the branding and the deck box pouches (has a single pouch for a tablet instead)

I'm way late on this, but I just thought that maybe the flap on the UltraPro was intended to be a playmat of it's own that stores itself on the bag. The positioning of the logo might be another hint of that.

would've loved to see if the tote bag could hold the board games when packed vertically, since that makes them more accessible

It's been 3 years, time to do this review again.

Love the intro pic!

Prof, you've got nice arms 😍 That dark red Tolarian community college shirt is swagalicious! I'm getting one lol

Love his purple socks

I stopped it as soon as I saw that suit. Absolutely amazing. Would you mind telling where you found that?

I use a Laptop Backpack of Solo Mark, It is incredibly tough, and comfortable, with enough space for boxes and mats.

Greatest thumbnail ever? Probably.

i would like to have something a bit smaller, maybe someting similar to a half sized ammonite. This stuff is just to big. I only want a big deckbox a small binder and some spare storage room.

Professor greetings! Excellent advice 👍👍👍. Lately I've heard a rumor that "Lorwyn" is coming back. What do you know about it. Thanks!

I'd say the other con to the Ultimate Guard is it looks like it could only really hold one binder. What kind of backpack would be good to hold 4 binders and still have room for deck boxes that isn't ridiculously HUGE like the Ultra Pro or the Tote.

Love the glasses ;)

You have a video for EVERYTHING! xD

Love the rad duds dude
