For example, I use a lot of Dragon Shield sleeves, and they all come in a box which can't hold a 100 card sleeved deck, but the box can be reused to hold extra sleeves (you know the extra few that come in each box or some that didn't come in a box at all), or your favorite/most used tokens, or maybe even (part of) that stack of cards sitting on your desk right now
It fits discard strategies nicely, and Davriel can come out of the sideboard in slower 60-card matchups
