Open wooden commander deck box with 100+ double-sleeved Magic: The Gathering cards inside

Built Different

The Heirloom Vault.
Built Different. On Purpose.

Every handmade deck box is cut from solid hardwood, not plastic. Finished with Rubio Monocoat natural oil and inspected before it ships. No factory floor. No corners cut.

100+ Double-Sleeved Cards

A true 100 card deck box. Dragon Shields over perfect fits. Snug, never crammed. The double sleeved deck box Commander players have been waiting for.

Solid Hardwood. No Plywood.

Walnut, Maple, Padauk, or Purpleheart. Not veneer, not MDF, not "wood-look" plastic. Every solid wood deck box we build is the real thing.

Leather & Brass Closure

Latigo leather strap. Solid brass snap. The same leather they use for horse tack and work boots, hot-stuffed with oils and wax. It gets tighter with age, not looser.

Rubio Monocoat Finish

Moisture-resistant natural oil that deepens with age. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Your wood deck box gets better looking every year you own it.

Card-Safe Interior

Buffed smooth. No rough edges, no snag points. Your sleeves stay pristine.

Game-Night Portable

Under 1 lb. Fits in any backpack. The leather snap keeps it shut tight in transit. Deck box storage you can actually trust on the move.

Choose Your Wood

Four Species. One Standard.

Each wooden deck box is CNC precision cut from a single piece of solid hardwood. No plywood. No veneer. Finished with Rubio Monocoat and fitted with a latigo leather strap and solid brass snap.

Every piece of hardwood has a unique grain pattern. The box you receive is one of one. That exact combination of color, figure, and character will never be cut again. That's not marketing. That's how wood works.

The Honest Comparison

Know What You're Getting

You can spend $15 on a plastic deck box and replace it every year. Or you can spend $99 on the last deck box for Commander you'll ever buy.

The Process

Where Craft Meets Devotion

Every wooden deck box begins as a raw plank of hardwood. Through weeks of careful milling, finishing, and fitting, it becomes a home worthy of your most treasured cards.

Hand-selecting walnut hardwood for a custom wooden deck box, grain pattern detail
01

Select & Mill

We hand-select each board for grain pattern, color, and character. No two are alike because no two planks of walnut are alike.

Precision cutting a wooden commander deck box from solid hardwood
02

Cut & Shape

CNC precision cut from a single piece of solid hardwood. One solid piece of wood, not glued-up scraps. Traditional craft backed by modern precision.

Fitting latigo leather strap and brass hardware on handcrafted wood deck box for MTG
03

Finish & Fit

Rubio Monocoat natural oil, hand-applied, hand-buffed. Then aged brass hardware and latigo leather fitted and aligned. Every box is inspected before it ships.

Handcrafted deck box for Magic: The Gathering being finished in the Artifact Armory workshop in Iowa

Made in Iowa

By a Commander Player,
For Commander Players.

Your deck box shouldn't come from the same factory as your gas station sunglasses.

I got tired of watching thousand-dollar decks live in plastic boxes that crack, warp, and fall apart. So I started making something better.

Every MTG wooden deck box that leaves this shop is cut, finished, and inspected before it ships to you. Solid hardwood. Latigo leather from a multi-generational US tannery. Brass hardware that won't strip or snap.

This isn't a side hustle selling rebranded imports. This is what I do. Every wood deck box for MTG that leaves my shop has my name on it and my lifetime warranty behind it.

This is what your deck deserves.

— Shane

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Yes. 100 cards in Dragon Shield mattes over KMC Perfect Fits drop right in with room to spare. Not crammed, not loose. We designed the interior specifically for double-sleeved EDH decks because that's what we play.
Exterior: 3.5" W × 2.75" D × 4.75" H. Interior fits 100+ double-sleeved Magic: The Gathering cards. Weight is approximately 10 oz depending on wood species.
Your commander deck costs $500–$2,000+. It's sitting in a $12 plastic box that cracks at the hinge. The Heirloom Vault is a one-time purchase backed by a lifetime warranty. It's the cheapest-per-year deck box you'll ever own.
Walnut is the most popular — rich, dark, classic. Maple is clean and modern. Padauk is bold (vibrant orange-red). Purpleheart is exotic (deep violet). All four are solid hardwood. There's no wrong answer.
Ship it back within 30 days for a full refund. No questions, no hassle. But nobody has. Ever.
Any defect in craftsmanship or materials under normal use. Joints, wood, hardware, leather. If something fails, we fix or replace it. Free. Forever.
Good. Scratches and dents on wood tell a story. And because we use Rubio Monocoat, the finish is incredibly easy to repair at home. A light sand and a single coat of oil brings it right back. You never have to worry about permanent damage to the finish. Real structural damage from normal use is covered under our lifetime warranty.
The interior is sized for standard trading card dimensions. If your deck is 100 cards or fewer (double-sleeved), it'll fit. Works great for any TCG that uses standard card sizes.
There are some great makers out there. What sets the Heirloom Vault apart is that every box is milled from a single piece of solid hardwood, finished with Rubio Monocoat, and backed by a lifetime warranty. At $99, it's hard to find that combination of materials, finish, and guarantee anywhere else.
Custom engraving is coming soon. Sign up for our email list to be first to know. For now, every wooden deck box is unique because of the natural grain variation in each piece of wood.
Orders ship within 1–3 business days from our workshop in Iowa. Free shipping on every order, no minimums. Most US orders arrive in 3–5 business days.
