Battle Box

This is my standard Battle Box, if such a thing exists. The power level is fairly flat, and most of the cards are at the level of playable rares or good uncommons. This Battle Box is built for two players.

Project Basics

There are a few basic guidelines I keep myself to when building a Battle Box. These are not necessary for the box to function, but help keep my projects tidy:

• I use different colored sleeves for my deck, the land sets, tokens and any other distinct parts of the box. This helps finding everything quickly.
• I try to adhere to any theme I have as closely as possible. If I’m doing a nostalgia box, a Tenth Edition printing of Shivan Dragon would not be acceptable; I would include an older printing instead. If there are no thematic restrictions I try to stick to modern bordered cards because their wording is mostly consistent and avoids confusion for newer players.
• I like tokens, so I always leave enough room in each box to include at least one of each token I need. If the tokens don’t exist, I’ll usually proxy them by making a color print. Look here if you’re looking to make some good token proxies.

Special Rules

The standard Battle Box rules apply.

Card Choices

I have minimized mana acceleration, card draw and library manipulation to keep the power level flat and leave as much room as possible for cards that actually do something. You can find an article explaining my card choices in more detail here.
