Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been diving deep into building some new decks, and I’m kinda tired of shelling out $$$ for every single card. Been hearing a lot about using a *magic the gathering proxy creator* to make proxies for testing and casual play.
Anyone got recommendations for a good magic the gathering proxy creator? Preferably something easy to use and doesn’t look like total garbage when printed lol.
Also, if you’ve got tips on printing or any cool tricks to make them look legit (without being *too* legit, ya know), I’m all ears!
Thanks in advance, y’all!
Yo! I feel you on the $$$ part. I’ve been using MTG Print for a while now, and it’s super easy to use. You just upload your decklist, and it spits out proxy cards ready to print.
The quality’s decent if you use good paper, and it’s free! Just make sure to tweak the settings for your printer so the colors pop.
For extra realism, I sometimes glue the proxy onto a bulk card. Works like a charm for casual play.
Hey! If you’re looking for a magic the gathering proxy creator, I’d recommend MPC (Make Playing Cards). It’s not free, but the proxies come out looking *almost* real.
You can customize the backs too, so they don’t get confused with actual cards. Just don’t try to sell them, lol.
For printing at home, I’d say use glossy paper and a decent printer. Makes a huge difference!
I’ve been using Deckstats for my proxies lately. It’s not just a magic the gathering proxy creator but also a great deck-building tool.
You can export your deck as a PDF and print it out. The cards look clean, and it’s super user-friendly.
Pro tip: If you want them to feel more like real cards, sleeve them up with a basic land behind the proxy. Works every time!
Honestly, I just use a basic magic the gathering proxy creator like ProxyKing. It’s super simple—paste your decklist, and it generates high-res images.
I print them on cardstock, and they look pretty good for testing. If you’re feeling fancy, you can even use a corner rounder to make them look more legit.
Just don’t go overboard with the realism unless it’s for casual play only.
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, y’all! I tried MTG Print first, and it’s been super easy to use. Printed a few proxies on glossy paper, and they look way better than I expected.
I’m curious though—has anyone tried using a magic the gathering proxy creator with a local print shop? Wondering if it’s worth the extra cost for higher quality.
Also, big shoutout to the tip about sleeving with bulk cards. Total game-changer!
I’ve tried a few magic the gathering proxy creator tools, and my favorite is definitely MTG Nexus. It’s got a clean interface, and you can customize the card frames and art.
For printing, I’d recommend using a laser printer if you have access to one. The colors are way more vibrant compared to inkjet.
Also, if you’re worried about durability, laminate them or double-sleeve. Makes a world of difference!
Hey! I’ve been using Proxyshop for a while now, and it’s been a game-changer. It’s a bit more advanced, but the proxies look amazing.
You can even add custom art or foiling effects if you’re into that. For printing, I’d say go with 300gsm paper—it feels closer to the real deal.
Just remember, proxies are for fun and testing, so don’t stress too much about perfection!
