I enjoyed Descent but storing the cards was driving me crazy because I couldn't find anything remotely workable. Since no one else seemed to have a great solution for this, I'm posting mine.
A few weeks ago I found a company on Etsy called MeepleRealty that was starting to make a custom box insert for Imperial Assault. It had an interesting card holder for FFG style American Mini sized cards and American sized cards. So I emailed them and asked if they would be willing to sell them separately for a reasonable price.
To my surprise, they were and had a direct web site off of Etsy. Each card holder was $9 which I thought was perfectly doable. I ended up buying 5 each of the American Mini and American trays.
All my cards are sleeved with the yellow and green FFG supply sleeves and you can see they fit in the trays perfectly. You can see the Descent class cards have been divided out into neat sections.

The American sized card holder also holds standard sized cards. Here are my Pandemic cards in the same trays:

I really like these card holders. They are very flexible and allow me to put the dividers wherever suits me.
Pros:
* relatively cheap
* sturdy enough
* dividers are flexible
Cons:
* trays are not long enough
* no labeling solution
* not stackable
I've sent an email to Lee @ MeepleRealty asking if they might make longer trays. My thought is a 22 cm length would be ideal. I haven't heard anything concrete back from them yet- they might be waiting to see how popular these are first.
If these look good to you, check out their shop. I'm glad to finally have a solution for storing all these cards. It's cut game setup time down to minutes for me.
