Hey I’m looking for some new cEDH staples lately for my decks? Particularly “Flash Photography”. Typically if I only need one, I’d just by the real one, but I need a few for rotating decks? I haven’t found it on BootlegMage, proxyninja, USea,or Tolarian Library, and BlackLotusProxy. Does any one know where I can find a proxy of them?

Trying to figure out which MTG proxy source has the best “eye test” quality — BL, USea, or RON?

I’m mainly looking for proxies that are the most passable in sleeves and during normal gameplay.

From what I’ve researched so far:

  • RON seems to use blue core cardstock
  • BL and USea seem to use black core cardstock

I’ve also seen people say real MTG cards use blue core, while black core proxies can sometimes be easier to spot during the light test. But at the same time, others claim black core actually feels better and more durable.

So now I’m confused 😅

For people who have ordered from multiple sellers:

  • Which one has the best quality in general?
  • Which one has the best foils?
  • Is blue core actually better, or is black core higher quality overall?
  • Which seller currently has the best print consistency/colors?

Would appreciate honest opinions from people who’ve compared them side-by-side.

I am working on upgrading old legacy decks that I currently have fully paper print out proxied but really want the real card feel.

I've ordered some cards off of BL to test how they are but I was wondering if people have experience with huge orders. I also plan on having them mixed with cheap commons and basic lands so the feel of the cards needs to match them pretty closely. I am not planning on taking these to any tournaments so the actual print isn't as important. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

i want to print some mtg cards

I'd like to buy some high-quality Magic cards at a low price—ones that are indistinguishable from the real thing—to use in my Commander deck, since those cards cost 40 euros each. I'm on a tight budget, so what websites would you recommend?

Hey! I am making a birthday gift to one friend who loves MTG. I've spent months designing a custom commander deck (around 116 cards including tokens, multiple copies for lands, etc...)

The main bottleneck now has been finding an appropriate place to order these cards in high quality. I've spent so much time making the cards look good, so I definitely cannot simply print them on a normal printer and glue it to a land card.

Websites I've seen so far look good but they're super expensive (around 60€ to print my deck). I wanted to see if it was possible to have my full deck proxied for somewhere around 20 to 30€. I've spent a lot of time on the deck, so I would love NOT having to spend so much money for a gift lol

Have a store that's completely no proxies, but need a playset of lotus petal for multiple decks. Doesn't strictly need to pass any tests, but I'd like it to be good enough someone would believe I bought it at a garage sale for cheap and just assumed it was real if I got called on it. BL/Ron seems like it would be pretty pricey because of shipping for me, so I don't really have the budget to try out multiple people. Does anyone have a recommendation for where they've personally gotten a good lotus petal?

Hey,

A friend an I have been making deck lists for a throwback format I thought of.
Here is a list with a bunch of decks we've tested:

https://moxfield.com/lists/JpmKM-a2a-x-points

If you like it and want to know more there's a link to the deckbuilding rules and you can join us expanding this!

As a quick introduction it is a 1993-1996 format with a point system and some extra rules to ensure a very healthy meta and I think it is especially interesting for spikey players that do not want to play the same deck over an over again because it's just the best.

Thanks!
