Alright, let’s be real. I love Magic. I mean, really love it. But my wallet? Not so much. I’d see these crazy decklists online, the ones with cards that cost as much as a used car, and I’d just sigh. Like, yeah, that looks awesome, but there’s no way I’m ever playing that. That’s when I started thinking about mtg proxy cards.
I was hesitant at first. I’d heard stories about proxies that looked and felt like cardboard cutouts. I didn’t want that. I wanted something that felt… well, real. That’s when I found Printingproxies. I checked out their website, and the images looked good. Plus, they had a bunch of positive reviews. I figured, why not?
I decided to try out a few proxies for a Commander deck I was working on. A few expensive lands, a couple of mythic creatures, you know the drill. I placed my order, and a few days later, they arrived. I was genuinely surprised. They felt solid, and the printing was sharp. I was still a bit nervous about using them in a game, but I figured, what the heck?
We had our regular game night, and I explained that I was using proxies. Everyone was cool with it. They were more interested in seeing how the deck played than whether the cards were “real.” And you know what? It was awesome. I got to try out some crazy combos and strategies that I never would have been able to afford otherwise.
Using proxies from Printingproxies has really opened up my deck-building possibilities. I can experiment with new strategies and try out different cards without breaking the bank. It’s like having a playground for my deck ideas. I’ve even started testing out vintage cards, just to see what the old formats are like.
Look, I get it. Some people are purists and only want to play with “real” cards. But for me, it’s about having fun and enjoying the game with friends. And proxies have definitely made that easier.
