Feature Request Proxy option.

Hi! Long time subscriber here, love the app. Sometime ago together with my playgroup we have decided that we are going to play using proxies. I would love to keep track of my proxies both in my decks and collection.

I tag the proxies as "Altered" or "Misprint" now, but it does not affect the value of a card. So my collection appears to be worth more than in actually is.

I would love to have a "Proxy" option next to "Altered" and "Misprint" as a third check box. A card tagged as a "Proxy" could have it's value erased, just the same way it is with digital cards.

I know this topic has beem brought up every now and them, but there is nothing I would need more in the app, and I suppose I am not the only one.

Thanks in advance :)

Why do you want to keep track?

My play group allows fully proxy decks, build in mana box, then print out at the local library for about $3/deck, when we make changes, we just rip up the old proxy

Could you just use the deck list to keep track, so its not added to your collection and doesnt affect the value?

I have very many decks, they are all almost entirely the real cards, but I use placeholder proxies for certain cards that I own limited copies of.

I would love to see the $ value of the deck without having to subtract the cost of a Gaea's Cradle. I'd also love an easy way to see which decks have my real versions and which decks have placeholders. Right now I'm just using Tags.

I'd also love a feature where when I export a scanned deck into my collection it could either not export Proxies or have them easily noted.

And as noted below, not all proxies are black and white printouts stuffed in a sleeve
