How do y'all store and present your basic lands? Right now I just have them in the cube box just hanging out there naked in a big stack in WUBRG order, but my players have a tendency to get them all mixed up together. I've been thinking about just getting five color-coded deck boxes for them, but I'm curious what other folks do before I go through with that.

Protip: Shuffle your basic land box. In a draft of 8 people, inevitably what will happen is once the draft is over, someone will grab half the stack, which will be all the plains/islands and half the swamps. They will then ask where the Forests are.
Color-coded deckboxes sounds like a great solution if you want to be a little more organized.
Personally, I keep all my basics mixed together in the top-left compartment of this bad boy (or girl).

Woooooow
This advice is next level because it’s so simple yet so impactful!
I’ll do that from now on.

I mean, I get what you’re saying and why it’s useful… but… My hairs are standing on end here. You can’t just sow chaos and disarray like that into something so beautiful as a neatly sorted Basic Land Station

You know what, you're right. Players should have to provide their own basic landsI mean, I get what you’re saying and why it’s useful… but… My hairs are standing on end here. You can’t just sow chaos and disarray like that into something so beautiful as a neatly sorted Basic Land Station
I have a set of these ultra pro boxes with sleeved basics per color. I also bring a gun to each draft and force my players to sort out their basic from their decks after the game under threat of swift execution.

"The world doesn't have rules, it has consequences. In a video game, if murder is against the rules, that isn't an action you can take. In real life, nothing can STOP you from doing something, only specify what happens if you do."
Yeah dude, the whole gun thing, you're probably fine. It's not against the rules, just some stuff happens

That’s a hilariously bad take :’) Hey Google, define law! “the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties.” Well waddayaknow!
Thing is, in computer games the rules specify what you can (not) do.
Law is more akin to an order with stipulations that one should follow, if one does not AND GET CAUGHT, then penalties MAY follow.
One can name them both rules, but those rules are not equal. It is always confusing when a word means something different depending on the context.

where do you guys fit your gun in your cube box
Lmao glad I'm not the only one.
In Europe, they don't actually want people brandishing their god-given Second Amendment freedom machines (unless you're in Switzerland, where they actually have a stronger and significantly more responsible gun culture than in the United States).
It's a reminder that the gun knows where the basics came from. If any basic land is missing so will your life.
