Alright, so, I need to get some new sleeve pages for my mtgcards, because I was a stupid little pumpkin and tried to fit ALL my copies of each card in there. Now I have learned the error of my ways, and only one copy of each card goes into the binders while the rest go into catalogued boxes.
Here's where this thread comes in. since I'm going to be moving each individual card around anyway, I'm wondering if you guys have any input on how I should organize the binders and boxes. they will be organized in the same order.
I currently have a system of:
separate binder per color
major type (instant, sorcery, etc.)
sub type (merfolk, trap, aura, etc)
cost
alphabetical
I hear a lot of people separate their mythics and such, which I already do with my foils and Unhinged, but I've never been super concerned with rarity. Any arguments that I should be?
ORGANIZATIONAL ADVICE GOOOOOOOOOO!
I don't have a plethora of cards, so right now I just have a trade binder that contains all my rares/mythics/popular uncommons and everything else is organized into boxes based on general type (land box, token box, creatures). I do have a friend that has a bunch of cards with a binder organization system:

(Apparently this still isn't everything.)
I would recommend organizing them by set, then by color. I wouldn't worry too much about rarity. After color, my trade binder's organized by major card type.
