Using the Purple Bastion 100+ XL is a breeze. First, open the box using the click - lock mechanism. Place your double - sleeved cards in Thick Inner Sleeves inside the box. You can see the top or Commander card without opening it, which is handy during games. When you're playing, you can separate the two symmetrical parts to use them as a card pile and discard pile holder. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches on the translucent material. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. And always close the box properly using the click - lock to protect your cards.
