Planechase Anthology is not one uniform product when it comes to storage. The box mixes standard trading-card-sized decks with oversized Planar cards, and each needs a genuinely different approach.
Treating everything in the box the same way is the most common mistake collectors make here, since a solution that works perfectly for the 60-card decks does very little for the oversized planes.
Wizards currently has no widely available sleeve sized specifically for Planar cards, so protecting them well means working with what actually exists rather than forcing an ill-fitting product onto them.
This guide breaks down what each component of the box actually needs, from the standard decks to the oversized planes, tokens, and dice.
Each of the four Planechase Anthology decks uses completely standard-sized Magic cards, which means they work with any normal sleeve, toploader, or binder page you would use for a regular Magic deck.
Sleeving each 60-card deck before regular play is the simplest, cheapest way to protect the part of the box most likely to see real, repeated table use.
The 86 Planar cards are noticeably larger than a standard Magic card, and there is no widely available sleeve sized specifically for this oversized format.
Given that gap, the safest practical approach is keeping these cards in the individual slide deck boxes included in the set, since those boxes were purpose-built to that exact oversized dimension.
The four individual slide deck boxes plus the oversize slide deck box are not just packaging; they are genuinely the most fitted storage option this specific product ships with.
Keeping planes sorted inside their original slide boxes, rather than loose in a drawer or a standard card box, is the single easiest way to avoid unnecessary bending or edge wear over time.
The 35 double-sided token cards are standard trading card size, so they can travel in a normal binder page or a small card box alongside your regular deck-building supplies.
The planar die and Spindown life counters are best kept in a small dedicated pouch or compartment separate from your cards entirely, since loose dice rattling around a card box risk scuffing whatever they touch.
A practical setup looks like this: sleeve and box the standard-sized 60-card decks the same way you would any Magic deck, and keep the oversized planes in their included slide boxes rather than mixing formats.
Separating the standard-sized and oversized components this way avoids forcing a single storage solution to do a job it was never designed for.
If you regularly bring Planechase Anthology to game nights, a single sturdy deck box large enough to hold one 60-card deck plus its matching slide box keeps everything together without extra loose pieces.
Consistently returning cards to the same dedicated spot after each game is the single most effective habit for preventing long-term wear, regardless of which specific product you use.
If the set's original packaging has already taken damage from years of use, the individual slide deck boxes remain functional on their own even without the outer retail box surrounding them.
A labeled storage bin or dedicated shelf spot for the loose slide boxes works just as well long-term as keeping the original outer packaging intact. What matters most is consistency, not whether the original retail box survives fully intact, since the slide boxes themselves were always the real functional storage anyway.
No, the Planar cards are oversized and do not fit a standard-sized sleeve.
Keep them in the included slide deck boxes, which were purpose-built to that dimension.
Yes, they are standard trading card size and work with any normal sleeve, toploader, or binder.
In a small dedicated pouch or compartment, kept separate from your cards.
The oversized planes are the one part of this box that needs a different plan than your normal card storage, and the included slide boxes are still the best fit available. Sleeve the standard-sized decks in matte card sleeves right away.
Once both pieces of the set have a proper home, Planechase Anthology holds up to repeated game nights far better than treating everything the same way.
