If you’ve played Magic for more than ten minutes, you’ve heard some version of this argument: And then everyone stares at the card like it’s going to confess. Here’s the clean truth: damage and life loss often look the same on the scoreboard, but they are not the same thing in the rules. Lifelink cares […]
Ordering proxies is supposed to be the easy part. You upload a list, you get cards, you shuffle, you pretend you definitely did not just topdeck the exact answer. Reality check: most reprints happen because of boring, preventable stuff. This mtg proxy order proofing checklist is here to stop the classics: cropped frames, unreadable text,
If you’ve ever lost a game to a pile of dice and a sentence that starts with “you get a counter,” you’re not alone. MTG counters explained is really just learning which counters matter, which ones are a temporary inconvenience, and which ones are a win condition wearing a fake mustache. Counters show up everywhere
If you’re asking are vehicles creatures MTG, you’re probably staring at a smug little artifact that refuses to do creature things unless you “crew” it first. Which, honestly, feels like the most realistic part of Magic. Vehicles are great, but they follow very strict rules about when they count as creatures, when they can attack,
If you’re looking up MTG card size & dimensions, you’re probably doing one of three things: buying sleeves, setting up a print template, or trying to settle an argument that absolutely did not need to happen at 11:47 PM. (And yet, here we are.) The good news: the “what size are MTG cards?” answer is
If you’re here because you want to know how to upload a decklist for mtg proxy printing, you’re already ahead of the people who paste a half-finished list, forget basic lands, and then act surprised when their “99-card Commander deck” shows up as a 76-card vibe. Let’s do this the clean way. This guide covers
TL;DR: For most people who want to print MTG proxies, we recommend PrintMTG over MPCFill or MakePlayingCards. It’s the simplest “order → approve → play” path, with more consistent results and far less chance you’ll lose an evening to templates, bleed zones, and proofing mistakes. MPCFill and direct MakePlayingCards can be great if you want
You’re probably trying to playtest a deck, build a cube, or stop your Commander night from turning into “who owns the most Reserved List cardboard.” All reasonable goals. Slightly cursed, but reasonable. This guide covers two things: how to actually make proxies that shuffle like real cards, and the basic legality line so you don’t
This guide answers the core question people actually mean when they ask about proxies: what counts as a proxy, where can you play them, and when are they absolutely not allowed—without turning it into a courtroom drama (we’ll save that for Orzhov). What is a “proxy” in MTG? In everyday player language, “proxy” can mean
you’re probably not trying to start a philosophical debate about cardboard morality. You just want to play the game you love without selling a kidney for a mana base. Fair. The good news is that most proxy drama is avoidable with one ancient social technique: telling people what you’re doing before you do it. This
