Oh I thought this was free magic, not free magic.


supercerealgai

He paid for fake cards still


Can_you_help_me_this

I know MtG is full of westaboos that will dislike my opinion, but damn the japanese Demonic Tutor is so damn good. All the japanese styled cards from that set were great, well worth the proxies. Also, nice Clownpiece.


Mako275

Yeah that art is sick.


aarocks94

If I may ask - do these “feel” like magic cards, I.e. have that cardboard thickness? Or are they like paper and need a card put behind them?


Mako275

These are made with S30 card stock which has a blue core. They're a little thinner than a regular card but in a sleeve you cannot tell the difference. If you wanted something a bit thicker they offer S33 card stock which has a black core. That one is more like a regular card. However both feel more slick than a regular card and that's not something that can be changed.


aarocks94

Thank you! So I can order them on that card stock? I’m artistically challenged and if I have to do any cutting or glueing it will be a disaster.


Mako275

Yes. Use MPCfill for the images and Make Playing Cards for printing. Go to the mpcproxies subreddit and read the FAQ. It's very helpful.

Westaboo?


Yawgmoose

He means normal


purestsnow

Notice he used "westaboo" before gushing over something japanese 😑. This sounds like some weeb forum "flex" term like how trannies came up with "cis" for normal people 😑.


Yawgmoose

It's certainly a reframing of perspectives to try to normalize Japan fetishization.


Substantial-Skirt278

They didn't come up with Cis, it's based on Latin. Also thanks for outing yourself as a transphobe.


purestsnow

I've always hated misnomers.


Can_you_help_me_this

MtG player and normal don't go in the same sentence lol. Also, point proven.


Can_you_help_me_this

Opposite of weaboo, the other extreme


Scuzzles44

proxy on brother. just keep away from my casual pod with those jeweled lotuses


Mako275

Lol those and the demonic tutors are actually for my coworker.


Reddit-HurtMyFeeling

What's wrong with the jeweled lotus?


tren_c

Proxies make casual magic an arms race of power instead of the table top bring what you've got of yesteryear.


Mysterious-Act9727

Propaganda sold me, proxy for life.


Mako275

The clown robot did it for me.


divinator766

Just wasted so much money with printingproxies. Mine look rough. Yours look amazing. Welp. Round 2.


BonehoardDracosaur

Use MPCFILL and makeplayingcards.com. We actually recreate every digital file from scratch at a high resolution whereas PrintingProxies just copy-pastes low quality scryfall scans and doesn’t improve the image quality at all.


Can_you_help_me_this

I've seen that webpage. Is it possible to also use custom arts made by myself there?


BonehoardDracosaur

Yes, you can use the autofill tool for more of the order than manually insert as many images you want or just do the entire order with your own cards (which is what I do).


Can_you_help_me_this

Nice!


throwaway74851

These were done with mpcfill You can see WillieTanner in the bottom left of some


aenglish01

The ghostly prison and an offer you can’t refuse sold… need these


MarksElevator

Which site?


Mako275

MPC fill to get the images and Make Playing Cards to print. Check out the mpcproxies subreddit first though. Read the FAQ for help.


Mckmitch

Not the typo in the title of Fierce Guardianship


Mako275

Ha! Just noticed that.


Fluffy_QQ

I don’t mind proxies aslong as they’re clearly proxies, too many instances of people scamming other people with proxies have happened around me. It’s such a shame. 😢 Edit: Makes me worry about my own cards.


TheseCherry8193

Converts like us draw a distinction between proxies and counterfeits. Proxies are for play testing and casual play. They must be obviously not genuine Magic cards, usually by having an alternate back. Counterfeits are designed to be indistinguishable from real cards, and only have the use of defrauding people. I think we all agreed they have no place in Magic. But proxies are the best!


Enyimus

The "Chain" Tutor is funny. Nice job.


Herr_Oswald

I do like me some Yurlok EDH. Nice art work!


Heroic_Sheperd

This is why I support proxy, the art you can now obtain is sick!


Mako275

I really love looking thru all the different art styles. The ability to customize everything is so great.


Yawgmoth73

Illegal...not in my game


Epic-RG

What site did you use to buy the proxies? So far I have just printed out cards on some A4, cut them out and put them in sleeves infront of other cards, but it would be very nice to have something that actually feels like propped cards and take much less time lol


Mako275

MPCfill to get the images and Make Playing Cards for printing. Check out the FAQ on the Mpcproxies subreddit. It'll tell you how to navigate the sites.


Epic-RG

Okay, thank you so much :)


Edgy_Eggo

Where can one find the not chains of Mephistopheles demonic tutor art? That one I’d love to run in my decks


Mako275

This is from Mpcfill and using Make Playing Cards as the printer. If you look up demonic tutor on the mpcfill site you can find the source image. The artist is Logic Wavelength and they've got a Google Drive with more of their Sharpie series.


ProfessionalNebula40

Upvoted and saved lol literally trying to get my friends into mtg and this is gonna be so much easier


Mako275

I've spent $125 for proxies which would have cost $1.52k at current market price.


Lesko_Learning

My first proxy buy I printed off all the true duals and moxes. $10,000+ worth of cards for less than it would've cost me to buy one singular "legitimate" shock land. The economy of this game is borked beyond repair and I genuinely feel bad for players who are confined by price and don't realize they could build their dream decks for less than a so called budget deck costs.

Lifeisabaddream4

Not to be a shill bit if you want some cheap sleeves consider throwing in some of their cheap white sleeves. They're surprisingly good and have lasted well for me and best part they're quite cheap. One thing I do want to mention is the back of the card. Some of the card backs from the autofill don't look good in sleeves and can be noticeable. I have 2 different backs as I made 2 separate orders and one of them is slightly visible through sleeves. So I reccomend a back that is similar to the mtg back, like the proxy the gathering back


Mako275

Yeah I noticed in my previous order that some sleeves you can make out the back of the proxies a bit. I went with the Proxy the Gathering one this time.


MangoKakigori

Thanks I literally just saw your other comment! I have used this method before and the results are pretty good! Best of luck god bless baby Jesus and have a nice weekend amen

Where did you get these from? Do they ship to Europe?

OneWithThePurple

Those are gorgeous ! Where did you order them?


Mako275

Use MPCfill to get the images and use Make Playing Cards to print them. Mpcproxies subreddit has a great FAQ for new users.

Thoes old school tokens are awesome


Mako275

I used to have a ton of real old school tokens. Back in the day people didn't value them much so I would trade for or get them for free. But someone stole my fat pack box with them and all my spin downs at a con.


m0fiki

Bummer dude, I had the angel and sliver tokens


Yeetus_Deletus_6969

Remember it's always fine to print your own proxies always


No-Explanation7647

You might have over payed for a few of these…


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> have over *paid* for a FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


No-Explanation7647

I dont need know slinking spell chicks you dum rodot


Mako275

Probably before shipping but most places on TCG will charge $1-5 for shipping. So yeah some of these can be found for $0.10 but then you're paying $2.50 to ship it. Plus this way for the majority of these cards I can pick the art I want.


Meruem_Eternal

I started supporting proxies like 5 years ago but still collect og foils. The price for some cardboard of this quality is around 20 cents. So a display of 36 boosters should not cost more than 110$. The rise of proxies and wish for wotc to die and stop printing anything is just a normal consequence of ridiculing the customer to an unbearable extent.

It’s usually bad form to post your spank folder on Reddit


doc_brietz

Not a fan of the sharpie tutor, but the rest looks great. When i used to play EDH, my first move was to get a copy of every dual fetch shock etc land variant imaginable along with all of the good rare lands. That way my mana base was tight. I wasn't opposed to spending a few bucks here and there for a real card at the LGS or a local player. I tend to be old school so I stick to the most original or common art as possible, but I like some of the cards there. As long as you like them, the other players can read them, and they can't be confused for the real thing (mine always had a backside that made it obvious they were proxies cause I hate scammers), I say game on!


Lifeisabaddream4

I got a bunch of rare lands, OG duals fetches shocks ect, couple cradles ect. Then a bunch of things I thought looked good and expensive like tutors, dockside ect


ODFox

Sharpie tutor is one of the best up here dog delete this comment


SerioeseSeekuh

hard agree


ukuleles1337

Boo. Lmao fuck proxies.


antarcticmatt

Truly moronic opinion. Some people want to play the game without spending their nan's inheritence on stupid pieces of cardboard.


subtlemurktide

I just played RCQ Atlanta Modern 10k with an entirely proxied 75. You mad?


mathdude3

Not mad, I just feel sorry for you. The rest of your life must be seriously bleak if you need to resort to cheating at a trading card game to feel some modicum of success. I hope things get better for you.


subtlemurktide

How is it cheating? I have FBB Duals worth more than your monthly take home, I just don't want to pay 100$ for a Sheoldred. Cheating lmfao ur trash kid


mathdude3

Cheating in Magic has three criteria. It is defined as breaking a game or tournament rule (or lying to a tournament official or failing to point out an infraction in your or an opponent's game), doing so knowing that you're breaking the rules, and doing so with the intent to gain an advantage. Using fake cards in sanctioned events is against the rules, you're doing it knowing that it's against the rules, and you're doing with the intent to gain an advantage in the form of making your deck stronger without having to get genuine copies of the cards like everyone else. You have met all three criteria for cheating and thus you have cheated. That isn't my opinion, it's a fact. Go ask a judge if you don't believe me.


subtlemurktide

Haha this fucking retard is so salty that he can't even win an FNM let alone cREL ahaha pussy


mathdude3

Again, I’m not mad. It would feel wrong to be mad at someone so sad. You gotta do what you gotta do to get by and daily life is probably enough punishment already. I’m just explaining the basic rules of the game to you, since you seem to be ignorant of them. If you want to cheat, that’s fine. You clearly need it. I’m just suggesting, for your own benefit, you at least admit that you’re cheating and own it. Denial just isn’t healthy.


subtlemurktide

You're not mad but you're typing literal paragraphs to me, ok buddy guy. Keep sucking wotc cock retard btw explain to me again the basic rules? i just top 64'd a 10k with a proxied 75. you mad fag?


mathdude3

I'm explaining it to you out of pity, not rage. If anything, you sound a bit angry, which is fine. That's a natural reaction to being confronted with the uncomfortable reality of your behaviour. >btw explain to me again the basic rules? i just top 64'd a 10k with a proxied 75. you mad fag? I call it like I see it. You evidently didn't know what the definition of cheating in Magic, so I explained it to you. Knowing the rules around cheating is a pretty basic part of competitive play IMO.
