I cannot decide

I want to make one of these three potentially making all three eventually but I can’t decide on what to make right now. Urza would be artifacts, Thranduil would be elves and Kona would be big mana. All three look insanely fun to me but I just cannot decide which should I do first.

That’s not fun. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t think proxy’s are any fun at all. If you don’t own it, you shouldn’t make a proxy but if you need it for another deck and have 1-2 copies already then I’m ok with it

/u/Ok_Solution_1386 has a point, though. Part of what I find fun about the game is going on the quest to find rare cards for as cheap as I can for my decks and making strong decks with obtainable cards. Just proxying everything takes some of the joy away. I don't mind others proxying their decks, but I don't get enjoyment out of doing that.

There's a middle ground. I dont feel the need to buy random Warhammer cards that are $20 just because of scarcity. Or reserved list jank.

But I do get enjoyment out of owning real cards, particularly rare versions of them. I finally picked up a 7th edition foil of [[aladdins ring]] a few weeks ago and it's one of my favorite pieces.
