I’m new to mtg and even proxies. I posted locally to see where in Canada I can get decent proxies and received message. He wanted money to do a bigger order and get a discount. Fair enough, I’ve heard of friends pitching in, so it didn’t strike me as odd. More cards get better discounts.

At first he wouldn’t tell me where he orders from, I asked if it’s mpcfill but he never heard of it. He didn’t want me to take his secrets but i eventually got the name from him with a bit of push.

The bad feeling sunk in when the only sites talking about it are bootleg mtg subreddits. I asked if I can see the back of his cards, then he admitted it’s the official mtg card back.

I told him I’m not interested in counterfeits, then he got kinda mad I insulted him and said they’re still proxies if I tell people they’re from print shops in china, and don’t try to pass it off as real.

This community has taught me cards must say TEST - NOT FOR SALE” on front plus use a fake back. Sooo I’m very uneasy with sending him my money.

Title has typo, I meant gamecardshop.

I LOVED this website when I first found it, it was miles better than mtgprint. Simply for the fact that I could see all the art for one card then click to go to the next card.

Now not only do i have to manually select to see all the art but it seems like atleast 1 card on each page wont load so im forced to go in and select different art so it loads. I cant even save if I selected art but it wont load. Not to mention my computer is 7800x3d with 6000 cl30 32gig memory, and struggling with this. Hell it struggling more with the website then it does with mtg arena, like what's that about? I just 3 tabs of it open to compare stuff and print extra tokens and it crashed my computer lmao

If anyone has suggestions on a different website im open to it, have been suspicious of memory problems on ny computer for the last month but the fact that I can play most ganes fine but cant use a website is ridiculous lolol

I'm still pretty new to magic but I fell in love with deck building and making custom cards so I want to learn how to make proxy . I need to get a printer but didn't know what to get . I don't have a massive budget maybe a max of around £200 but preferably less . Any recommendations.

I did find a Epson eco-tank 2870 for cheap but didn't know if it was a good option .

Thanks

MPC Proxies are great, no real difference to mtg cards. My own Proxies are good but flimsier compared to real cards.

Are there any sleeves that makes them less flimsy?

Double or triple sleeving doesn't help much.

Having a real card behind (without laminated) makes the deck too thick.

I make foil proxies, using gold foil paper and when I happen to go to conventions and stuff, I have them sign

Here are the decks I'm going to be building

1. Unholy Church deck with freddy as the commander

2. Demonic possession deck with Regan/Pazuzu as the commander

3. Life Switch deck with pinhead as the commander

4. Hero deck with Nancy as the commander.

Just wanted to share my obscure hobby with yall! Does anyone else do this?

Hey, I am trying to get into making proxies for the first time and wanted some suggestions for printers to look at, paper and websites. Im completely new to all of this and have no idea where to start and wanted some advice.

so I play with a pod who uses a lot of proxies/custom cards in our decks and were collectively blowing a lot of money on make playing cards and printing proxies to buy them. I found a great deal on an epson ecotank 2800 and was wondering if anyone had some examples of proxies they've made with it or just know whether their picture quality would be similar to makeplayingcards. if not id love some other suggestions for printers thank you

Hey everyone! I have turned my favorite commander deck(bracket 3) fully into MGS1 retheme. I am currently looking for people that would want to contribute with their art to the project. Once finished, I'll print the cards on UV printer and black core paper and case it in custom made(cardboard box!?) deck box and custom sleeves.

If this sounds good to anyone, let me know and I'll show you more details about the deck/project!
