I got that album thingy with inserts, but whats bugging me is - if im not aiming to collect a whole edition, how do i organise my cards? by color? by some other order? I have mixed WoE and Commander Masters cards, but would like to have them somewhere nice when they are not in decks.

If i like an ed and want to have it complete then its going into its own album / fold and sorted by numbers.

I kinda hoped ixalan would be it, but that mixed universe thing is so not my cup of tea…

      Im lying to myself by telling that im going to keep my collection pretty slim ( unless a copy card comes with awesome artwork, or is a foil ) so cards i like i would keep 4 + 1 foil, everything else is going to change ( because i dont have any target edition i would like to collect ( altho i have most of my cards from commander masters.

      I would like to have it organised so i can brainstorm, i thought binders were awesome because i can list through the cards and maybe get an idea, but they are bulky and get filled fast - so i would keep binders for cards i really, really like.

      Some unplayable i will keep ( that also depends on if i like the card or not )

      Very fair! I would posit that for a large collection where you keep every single card you open, and for which you have an online collection tracker such as deckbox.org, using the organising system I mentioned is still the best. There will always be one single place that a card you’re looking for would be, and nowhere else.

          Well that’s why I said it was only good if you have an online collection tracker where you catalog all your cards . I know exactly where all my copies of The Doctor are because I have recorded which versions I have. I can then build my decks online, and once I’m ready to play them I just go to my collection with a list of set and collector numbers and I can pull out exactly what I need
