Three steps to a printed deck
01
Find the printing.
Search by name or browse a set, then pick the art and version you want.
02
Set the quantities.
Match your list. One card, a handful of upgrades, or a full deck.
03
We print and ship.
Each proxy is printed, cut to sleeve with the rest of the deck, and sent to you.
Stock that sleeves with the deck
Each card is S33 German black-core stock, with a UV coat and a precision die cut, so the deck is one thickness. Files are printed at 300 DPI or better, which keeps the rules text and mana symbols readable.
Pick the printing
- Readable at the table.
- Pick the frame with clear rules text and mana symbols when you want the game to move.
- The art you want.
- When a card has more than one printing, choose the version that fits the deck.

UV Coating on MTG Cards: What It Changes About Feel, Glare, and Durability

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you print single cards?
Yes. One card is $3. Two to nine cards are $2 each, and the per-card price drops as the count grows. The pricing section above uses the same rates as checkout.
Is there a minimum order?
No. You can order one card, a few upgrades, or a full list.
Can I print a full Commander deck or an entire deck list?
Yes. A full deck, a cube update, or a playtest batch is a normal order.
Can I upload a deck list?
Yes. Paste a list, or search and browse by set and add cards one at a time. Then check quantities and printings before checkout.
What cardstock do you use?
S33 German black-core cardstock. It is chosen for durability and a consistent feel in sleeves.
Do you use UV coating?
Yes. Every card gets a UV coat for a familiar trading-card finish and better durability in play.
How do you keep the print sharp?
Print files are enhanced to at least 300 DPI, so rules text, frames, and mana symbols stay readable.
How accurate is the cut?
Cards are precision die-cut for consistent size and clean edges, so one card in the deck is not a different size from the rest.
Will these feel different when shuffled?
In sleeves they are meant to handle like the rest of a sleeved deck. Unsleeved, almost any card feels different, including real cards you would rather not scuff.
Can I choose different card art or versions?
When more than one printing exists, yes. Pick the most readable frame for faster play, or the art that fits the deck.
Do you offer official backs or custom backs?
Use a custom back. It makes it obvious the card is a proxy. If you sleeve the deck, sleeve every card the same way.
Do you print double-faced cards?
Yes. A double-faced card is printed on both sides. You do not order the two faces as separate cards.
Can I print proxy packs for a draft?
Yes, for a casual draft, cube night, or themed set. Decide what a pack is for your group (often 15 cards), build the packs, and print enough for the table.
Do you provide PDFs for home printing?
No. Proxy Foundry prints and ships physical cards. Home printing is a separate route if you want a sheet of paper to cut yourself.
What size are the cards?
Standard trading-card size, about 2.5 by 3.5 inches, so they fit in sleeves. Die cutting keeps that size consistent across the order.
How long do printing and shipping take?
Most orders are printed and shipped in about 2 business days, Monday through Friday, excluding postal holidays. Holidays, set releases, and large orders can take longer.
Standard U.S. transit is about 3–7 business days after the carrier has the package, so many U.S. orders arrive in about 5–9 business days total. Expedited shipping shortens transit, not production.
If tracking says "Label Created," "Pre-Shipment," or "Awaiting Item," the label exists and the carrier has not scanned the package yet. The first scan often takes 24–48 hours.
What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Contact support with your order number and photos. If we made an error, or the shipment was damaged, we will work with you to fix it.
Are these tournament legal?
No. These are for casual play and playtesting where your group allows them. Sanctioned events generally require authentic Magic cards. A judge can sometimes issue a proxy if a card is damaged during an event, which is separate from bringing your own. Ask the store or your pod before you play.
Are these for casual play only?
Yes. They are not official tournament cards, and they are not for resale as real cards.
Is home printing enough, or should I use a printing service?
Home printing is fine for a quick test. This service is for when you want the same thickness, clean edges, a UV coat, and a 300 DPI print every time you change the deck.
Can I create and print custom cards?
Not yet. Tools for custom cards are in progress. For now, order existing printings.
