MTG Commander EDH Tray With Life Counter – Wooden Tray Compatible For Magic The Gathering Review

This was hands down one of the hardest things I've ever assembled. I was looking forward to the challenge of assembly and knew what I was getting into, but I didn't expect to have to push and pry so hard to get some of the pieces through the slots.I have big hands and I had a hard time getting some of the pieces together. The little U shaped pegs in particular don't seem to fit the holes all that well - you really need some kind of took to apply pressure against the flat part to force them…

I'm not sure why some of these comments complain about a twenty-dollar product like it broke into their house, opened all the containers in their fridge and knocked over every piece of furniture just to spite them. The product is really fine, it comes with a piece of sandpaper so that you can properly fit together all the pieces without issue. While you do have to handle the assembly with care, it isn't difficult, and the instructions are very clear with pictures for reference to boot. It took…

Commander is fun enough as it is, but making it easier to keep track of each opponents commander damage, while displaying your own commander in a glorious fashion is a great way to add some further enjoyment to the game. I've never pulled out this life counter and not gotten at least one compliment. It is now the envy of my entire play group! A must have for the avid MTG player!

So while I personally think the concept is great, and the look is pretty nice, the material it’s made of is really not the best for making sure the product doesn’t break over time. I personally think that this is a great idea but with unfortunately poor execution. The size is one thing that certainly needs to be addressed. When you put a sleeved deck of 99 cards where they are supposed to go, you have no means of adjusting the commander damage dials without having to crane over and finagle…

It was not very easy to put together, but that's somewhat expected for what it is. We did break a couple of peices trying to force it together but they included extras for that reason. Very happy with end result.

I like the concept of building the thing yourself, it gives you something to do. BUT. The instructions are not good, and the material is so fragile that it falls apart when assembling, ( they say to shave the bits of the pieces if they're hard to put in). If you do that you also run the risk of actually destroying the piece. All and all don't waste your money on this, its not properly design to be built by yourself.

So overall I think this is a really cool accessory, but there is one small issue with their attention to detail that bugs me and one mechanical nuance I dislike. Those with OCD take note:The detail I dislike is that the command damage tracker doesn’t have a 0 or a 21 (only goes 1-20). It’s so awkward that it starts at 1, especially if you have a commander with 1 power. You can kind of cover up the 2 in the 20 with the dial so it mostly looks like zero, but it’s a big oversight. It also takes…

Pieces are very delicate. Some don't fit properly. Turning the counters and life is hard. I likely will never use it. Cool idea though.

My sons review: he said it is a nice gift and pretty but not something he can travel with to his local game store where he plays.He said that the "tolerances" are very tight and make it difficult to put together. Any variance on the cutting makes it very hard to press pieces together. He cracked a piece when assembling but did say that it had extra pieces.He said it is slightly bowed "pringling" and therefor doesn't sit level on a desk.It looks good but he does worry that because the design is…

A fun addition to any EDH/CEDH match. This gadget does it all for up to 3 opponents. Fun to assemble, looks cool and very functional. I get compliments on it every time I play.

This is definitely the coolest life counter I’ve ever purchased. I’m obviously in the midst of paint in the midst of painting mine. You do have to assemble it but its pretty easy I recommend having some wood glue if you want it to hold forever but some simple elmers would work too. Great product for us needs!

Wow this reminded me of model kits from when I was a kid. It took a little time but looks like if your creative enough you can modify it to your liking. The life counter rubs together a bit and isn't smooth but i think that's fixable

This was a gift for my husband. He had so much fun assembling it, said it reminded him of his childhood. And the finished product is amazing. I may order more as gifts

I've only assembled 2 pieces together and it's already splintering to bits. I figured the wood is cheap but for $21 this needs to come assembled not in 76 pieces and by piece 4 it is breaking. Not a good gift, too frustrating and not worth the time when there are life counter aps for phones that don't need any assembly. ;) Would look nice if it is possible to assemble without breaking, but the pieces fit too tightly and it just splinters the wood as you push it in.

Great product except life counter only turns down so adding 1 life is a 9 spin and you have to remember where you started from. Once the counter is on it can't easily be replaced with a more functional normal one.

Mostly wanted to mention a couple specific things. If you are a buying this for a gift the outside of the package shows no image of final product or anything that’s actually included, so you have to open it and then open the parts to find the instructions which has a picture of the final product. A little disappointing because it’s a lot of extra steps for the person receiving to see what they’re being given. Secondly, the installation is fairly easy but will require the use of a knife or…

No where in this product did it mention how much work assembly is. Tried assembly, lots of pieces too big or too small, sanding down helped but ruined a lot of the look and only partially fixed the problem. Other pieces for turning (not wheel itself) were very tough to turn and broke easily if you applied any pressure. Would not recommend :/ assembly needs to be refined a lot before I'd reccomed this gift to anyone

I thought this would be a nice little widget for commander, but tbh it just kinda made me feel like a tool lol. That's not why I'm rating it low.It's my own fault for impulse buying before reading the reviews on what to expect. Otherwise I would have saved my $20. I'm rating it low because we are expected to assemble it ourselves and it is such a pain in the butt to put together. Especially if you don't have the proper tools.On paper the idea of this little widget is kinda cool, but when you're

Eh, suggests you use glue (not included) and requires patience (of which I am in short supply).I ended up getting some wood glue to use.It is sort of wood like, I would say something between wood and cardboard.If you like building stuff, this may be for you. But you need some patience (and glue) to go a good job.

The instructions were easy to follow but difficult to assemble.lots of little parts that fit snugly together.do like that the include one extra horned toggle. Arrived quickly and nothing broke.with the frustration of assembly not sure I would buy again.
