This comes first and foremost because, of course, you won't be able to put proxies to use if your playgroup doesn't approve of them. While this is one of the greater drawbacks to buying Iefenn's proxies, they may be seriously considerable under any of these cases: When I discussed these cards with people from real life, many of them questioned what occasions you could use these professionally designed proxies for since they aren't officially tournament legal. At a less than 50% success rate with only two possible results (correct or incorrect), I have concluded for myself that Iefenn's proxy cards are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine article when going by feel - which is what matters when using it in a deck.Īs a final point, I would like to talk about when you can really make use of Iefenn's proxies.

Now of course I'm no professional when it comes to identifying cards by how they feel, but what I found after 7 tries is that I correctly guessed which card was the proxy only 3 of the 7 times. To give you an idea of what this means, here's a side-by-side comparison of the existing print and the proxy Iefenn made for my favorite commander - Lord of Tresserhorn. What makes Iefenn's proxies unique, and far more professional, is that he combines the concept of proxies with that of alters - an alter being a card that has had its border removed to extend the artwork shown on the card. If you've ever printed out a card image and shoved it in a card sleeve, or even just wrote the name of a card on a piece of paper and stuck it in a sleeve, you've made a proxy. That out of the way, today I wanted to talk a little about the proxies made by a fellow mtg Amino user here, Iefenn.įor those of you who are unfamiliar, proxies are made as a fill-in for actual cards to be used in a casual environment. But I'll try to find more time to chip in here when I can. Not for lack of content, but simply because now that I've gotten into college, I've really had to concentrate on my studies. Hey everyone, ik I haven't made a post in a good while.
