If you’re not in Singapore, or if you just don’t want to travel to town, you can probably find a good printer around an art school, collages, anywhere that does graphic design courses etc. If you’re in Singapore, my favourite place to go is Sunshine Plaza, there are plenty of shops around there and the printers are high quality. Ok now that you’ve got your file, you need a place to print it.
I’ve always printed using letter so I don’t adjust that too much.Īfter that, just click download PDF, load the file in a USB drive or Gdrive and you’re good to go! Here’s a comparison on the size of the cards: I also choose 105% because it gives me some extra room in case I screw up while cutting.īut if you want to go exact, i’d say 103% or 104% might be better. Most sleeves will be fine with 105% but some can be a tight fit. It’s slightly bigger than the average magic card, but it’s negligible once you sleeve it. Unfortunately, 100% is a tad small, you can experiment between 103% to 105% but personally, I go 105%. Scale basically adjusts how big the cards will be.
The crop marks aren’t that important, but you want to have the cut lines which basically give you a guideline on the PDF on where to cut. Here comes the fun part, the site pulls art from all of MTG history, that means you can select the art for your card!Ĭhoose from an Alpha, Masterpiece or Promo Sol Ring, it’s up to you!īut I always say, since you’re already proxying, might as well pick the best!Īt the top of the page you should see a few PDF options: Just smash your list in and click build it.Įdit (): mtgpress no longer updates the newer cards, they stopped at it’s not as good, but can work as well. In other words, a better miracle than turn 1 plains into mana crypt into sol ring into smothering tithe ( jizzing sounds ) It’s an amazing site that pulls images of any card in MTG history and places them in an easy to use and cut template. The site needs an exact match, so stuff like commas, apostrophes and of course spelling should be accurate when you build your list. If you don’t already know, most deck sites will allow you to export lists in text form which is perfect because you’ll be able to just copy and paste it onto the site we’ll use. īut I digress, on to the tutorial! Get your card list ready In fact, sometimes I prefer the quality of my proxies because THEY DON’T FUCKING CURL. So if you’re worried about your proxies being easier to find, or being picked to randomly discard when the situation occurs, you’re quite safe.Įven within WOTC card quality over the years has ebbed and flowed, so there is a noticeable difference in texture or thickness, especially the ones printed in Japan.
They use a custom card stock not available publically so I’ll never get the exact, look, if you notice, these are a bit too glossy.īut I’ve done multiple blind tests on the cards and my proxies, and no one has been able to detect the proxies consistently. Thickness wise, it’s nearly identical to what WOTC uses. The dead give away is probably the fact that the edges of the cards aren’t curved, and the back of the card is blank.īut again, I’m not trying to pass these off as real cards. What the cards look likeĪs you can see, they are quite passable, especially after you sleeve them up. I should preface this by also saying that I am in no way advocating you to print these and pass them off as real cards, it’s 100% not my intention. How many more fun cards could you have access to? How many more commanders could you build if you had this power? Or anything else you can possibly want? (well besides foils…) Ĭan you imagine a mana crypt costing only 20 cents? They are these amazing things called proxies. Well I’ve got a solution! As long as your playgroup is fine with it, and there aren’t actual prizes involved. Or maybe, you’re just getting bored of your deck, and you wanna try some other fancy commander, but just can’t spare the cash to fork out hundreds of dollars for new cards. I know the feeling, you wanna play this super cool new card but you just don’t see the sense in sinking money into a card you know is going to drop in value in time.
