Ultimate Guard's Places deck boxes have become a fixture at the table for a reason: they're limited runs. Once a colorway sells through, it doesn't come back. That makes each release a moment — not just for collectors, but for anyone who cares how their deck shows up to the next Friday Night Magic or Commander night.

Ultimate Guard has announced that four new Sidewinder 100+ deck boxes join the Places family on November 19, 2026: two in the Floral Places line (Lotus Bloom and Cherry Blossom) and two in Coral Places (Seablue Hush and Coralline Eden). These follow the sold-out 2023 Floral Places run, the 2024 Floral Places II series, and the 2025 Coral Places trio — each one a snapshot of that year's design language, gone when they're gone.

We're opening a waitlist now so you can be first in line when they go live. These boxes aren't listed yet — signing up is how you hear first.

The Four Colorways

Sidewinder 100+ Floral Places: Lotus Bloom (UGD012066)A soft, layered bloom motif in muted tones — the kind of colorway that reads elegant at a glance and holds up across a season of play.

Sidewinder 100+ Floral Places: Cherry Blossom (UGD012067)Delicate branching florals in pale pink and white, calling back to springtime without leaning saccharine. A standout for players who want their deck box to feel like a statement piece.

Sidewinder 100+ Coral Places: Seablue Hush (UGD012068)Deep, saturated oceanic blue with coral texture — the quieter counterpart to Coralline Eden, built for players who want richness without brightness.

Sidewinder 100+ Coral Places: Coralline Eden (UGD012069)Warm coral tones with aquatic depth, landing somewhere between fiery and serene. This one's been described internally as the most 'tropical' of the four — vivid without crossing into loud.

Why Places Matters

The Places series isn't a perpetual catalog — it's a rotating gallery. Ultimate Guard designs each colorway as a limited release tied to a theme (Floral, Coral, and whatever comes next), produces a single run, and moves on. That's not artificial scarcity; it's how the line works. When Bali Blue or Fiery Reef sold out in prior years, they stayed sold out.

For collectors, that makes each release a checkpoint. For players, it's a chance to pick a deck box that won't show up at every table. And for anyone building a collection, it means the colorway you want is the one to grab when it goes live — not after it sells through.

We've carried every Places wave since 2023. Lotus Bloom, Cherry Blossom, Seablue Hush and Coralline Eden are the latest chapter. They'll land on our shelves November 19, and they'll move fast.

The Sidewinder 100+ Format

The Sidewinder 100+ has been a workhorse format for Ultimate Guard since launch: magnetic closure, top-loading lid with secure latch, microfibre inner lining, and enough room for 100 double-sleeved cards (or 120 single-sleeved). The durable Xenoskin surface stands up to tournament play, and the box is made from 52% recycled materials, with packaging that's 100% recycled paper printed with soy ink.

It's the box you grab when you need something that opens one-handed, fits in a backpack, and doesn't fall apart after six months of Friday nights. These four colorways carry the same construction — just wrapped in patterns that stand out from the solid-color standards.
