Sidekick Pro 100+ XL Convertible: Marvel MTG Deck Box Setup

Sidekick Pro 100+ XL Convertible: Marvel MTG Deck Box Setup

A practical setup guide for the Sidekick Pro 100+ XL Convertible, from loading 100 double-sleeved cards to using the Slide Card Case and convertible lid at the table.

Start with the right card count and sleeves

The Sidekick Pro 100+ XL Convertible is built around a 100-card Commander deck, but the capacity depends on how you sleeve. The catalog states it holds up to 100 double-sleeved cards in extra-thick inner sleeves, or 100 regular double-sleeved cards with added room for token cards or a sideboard. That second option is the one to plan for if you want to keep tokens in the box.

Gamegenic notes the box is optimized for its own sleeves, and that sleeves from other brands may affect capacity or compatibility. Before you load the box, sleeve a small stack and test the fit. If the cards slide in with resistance, you are already at the practical limit for that sleeve combination.

Loading the deck and using the Slide Card Case

  1. Sleeve and stack your deck: Double-sleeve your 100 cards first. The box is designed for sideloading, so keep the deck squared and slide it in from the side rather than dropping it in from the top.
  2. Leave room for tokens only if your sleeves allow it: If you use regular double-sleeved cards, the catalog says there is added room for token cards or a sideboard. With extra-thick inner sleeves, the 100-card deck fills the main space, so use the hidden drawer for tokens and dice instead.
  3. Set your Commander in the Slide Card Case: The front Slide Card Case is removable and UV-protected. Put your Commander or top card in it to identify the deck without opening the box, then use the protected card during gameplay.
  4. Use the token drawer: A hidden, sturdy drawer provides storage for tokens or dice. Keep it closed during transport and pull it open at the table so small pieces do not end up loose in your bag.

Convertible lid: saving table space during play

The convertible system is the feature that changes how the box works at the table. The cover is completely removable and clips to the bottom of the box with strong magnets, so it stays out of the way instead of taking up space beside your playmat. That also gives you easier access to cards during the game.

The magnets are described as strong for a secure closure, but the catalog does not give a specific holding force or a drop rating. Treat the lid as secure for normal table use and transport, not as a guarantee against a fall.

Marvel artwork and variant choices

The box is an officially licensed Magic: The Gathering product, and the supplied variant evidence lists two options: Doom Reigns Supreme Loki Laufeyson and Marvel Super Heroes. Both use the same box design and capacity; the choice is about which artwork you want on your Commander table.

The catalog also includes a standard trademark note: the representation of compatibility does not infer a challenge of intellectual property rights, nor endorsement of the products by the represented company. That is licensing language, not a limitation on how you use the box.

Checkpoints before your first game

  • Deck fits without forcing: If 100 double-sleeved cards do not slide in smoothly, check your inner sleeve thickness. The box is optimized for Gamegenic sleeves, and other brands may change capacity.
  • Commander visible and protected: The Slide Card Case should hold your Commander at the front and come out cleanly when you need the card during play.
  • Lid clips to the bottom: Test the convertible cover before the game starts so you know how it attaches and that the magnets hold it in place on the bottom.
  • Tokens and dice in the drawer: Keep the drawer closed in transit and open it at the table. The catalog does not specify drawer dimensions, so test your own dice and tokens before relying on it.
