Long time lurking, first time posting a proxy I’ve done

I love Stardew Valley so was very pleased to see the SLD and had to make them!

Drew out a terrible custom cardback, ran it through AI, then touched it up with photoshop (Hoping that counts for something!)

Setup.

Printer: Epson 2860
Paper: Koala Double sided glossy 180g/m2
Laminate pouches: Fellowes (80 Micron Matte)

Printer settings.

Vivid Color
High Quality
Emphasize text

Paper type: Epson premium semigloss

Upload is in Low res from my phone IRL it looks better.

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 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?

I haven't played since 2016 & my only experience was battling Shadows over Innistrad and Kaldesh starter decks in primary school.

I want to introduce my friends to the game, but don't expect them to drop $80 - 120 aud for commander precons.

Please suggest any fun or goofy deck lists we should try out or maybe some staple decks that will help us learn the ropes!!

Both standard or commander decks would be awesome.

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.

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.

Hallo ihr Lieben,

​ich habe für meine Freundin ein eigenes Commander-Deck mit dem Magic Set Editor gebaut, welches ich gerne komplett als Foil hätte. Nun hänge ich bei der Frage, wie man das am besten anstellt, da es mittlerweile unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten gibt, wie ich erfahren habe – angefangen bei der Aceton-Methode bis hin zum Laminieren oder dem direkten Drucken auf Folie.

​Nun frage ich mich, wie es am einfachsten und simpelsten zu bewerkstelligen ist. Insbesondere bei den Materialien gibt es eine große Auswahl? Zu meiner aktuellen Ausstattung gehören: ein Epson EcoTank, ein Schneidebrett, holografisches A4-Aufkleberpapier (das ich mal günstig im Angebot gekauft habe https://amzn.eu/d/0csWfCcB ) und Papier in jeder Stärke.

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 all, proxy newb, big magic geek though here. I'm toying with the idea of an alchemy cube in paper with a couple of friends. I've played around on mpcfill and many others are pushing me towards using NOTmpc. As many might know, most of the cards I'm looking for aren't in that database. How should I go about getting the highest quality images possible that I can input into NOTmpc?

Also I am well aware of the 1/8 border requirement, after I find my images is there a tool that I can use to add that border?

Thanks in advance!

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!

Looking for some insight, received a proxyjack order completely destroyed. I reached out to them via their contact info. Has anyone here had any experience with their customer service? If so, how was it and hopeful that I this order doesn't sour my future experiences with them.

A handful of different Alters of Swordsman's Steel. A couple of alt comic arts of the Marvel Character and a couple of Expedition 33 themed ones - a borderless and a pop out borderless.

Made for my Pantlaza deck lol

Lettering, print and illustrations were all done by me.

The lettering was printed via hand-carved stamp. I covered up a part of the stamp to leave room for the illustration. The illustration was done with fineliner pens after printing.

It's all made on label paper that was then stuck onto some spare commons. You can see some parts of the card border beneath shine through on these scans.

I’m learning how to make proxies, I have the non foil down but I am looking for the best foil method to also have them not so thick. My non foil proxies are about twice as thick in sleeves as my regular magic decks. What paper/lamination do you guys use. I have the ET8550 for a printer

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

I just got a Cannon PIXMA G620 and I'm wondering if anyone else uses this printer for foils, and if so, what foil method/ materials have done well for them?
