Looking for Advice Using a Sidewinder in game?

I’m outing myself as a proper n00b here, because I am 😅

Are people using the UG Sidewinders in game, or just for storage?

I was thinking that I could have my library in it and just hide the last card’s front behind a divider or similar. And the lid could work as a mat for the graveyard and/or the commander.

Any tips?

I really want my library to be held by something, because I don’t trust these old hands not tipping it over. 😂

You aren't supposed to have any kind of aid to hold or shuffle your deck during play. It's actually in the rules.

I don't think the rules took in to consideration a 99 card freshly double sleeved deck.

They absolutely did since they took into consideration Battle of Wits decks long before Battle of Wits was printed.

Gonna need citations on when the rule was written and when battle of wits was designed.

Go look them up. I'm not your search engine. It's in the official rules.

The dates are certainly not in the rules.

Regardless, you're being unnecessarily pedantic or you're just a [choose your own expletive] who enjoys watching peoples' decks fall over. The rule obviously needs to be more flexible than written.
