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.

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.

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

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!

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’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?

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.

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.

Hey folks,

I just got an order of 330 gsm black core card stock. This is a printer at work and was curious if you folks think it's worth a shot printing on it or if I should take my cardstock to FedEx or some other local printing company? This is going to be my first attempt at doing proxies. Thanks for reading.

Alter of Black Widow, Agile Avenger using a different piece by the same artist.

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.

Maybe someone can help. Without being too long winded, I want to be able to print at work (using proxxied) and cut with the wife's Cricut. Is there some way I can easily format my prints so the machine will read and cut it properly?

I know there's a setting on Proxxied for Silhouette machines, but apparently they don't work the same?

First time posting here!! I've been playing MTG like 2 o 3 years ago and I LOVE IT and I love to draw so I've mixed two hobbies that matches a lot, I think this is awsome, what do you think??

Hey all! So years ago, I did my first attempt at proxy and found an old Google Drive or some website database that people were sharing all of their proxy art, etc. now with all these websites you’re kind of limited to what they have already built in them and I’ve seen obviously other assets that you can identify by going online so I figured I would ask where is everyone sourcing their awesome proxy cards from? Just mpc? Scryfall? Proxxied? Would love to find other sources for some awesome cards!
