I know proxies aren't tradable on MOTL, but I've been looking for a couple that aren't complete garbage and are relatively cheap. Like I have a playset of forces but 2 decks they go in. I just want another proxy playset to kind of hold the spot and whatever for casual play. I know for tournies i can pick which deck or whatever, but for now it seems unnecessary. So anybody know where I can pick up some decent (and cheap) proxies for Forces of will, or wasteland, or anything else for that matter?

Pro tour/World Champs decks actually had force of will in them, they would be great proxies for you if you can find some of them.

Yes I know that there are gold bordered forces from the champs decks, but they typically sell for like 10-15 ea (i remember selling mine for 13 to a shop actually). And yes I am aware I can print proxies off info, and sharpie so that wasn't the biggest help.I just remember seeing people being able to print proxies to make foils out of like basic lands and stuff and I was wondering if anybody knew how that was done or where I could get them

The guy wanted it to be "cheap" and you gotta go and bring a SLEEVE into the equation!? Thanks for like quadrupling the cost!

Use a marker to write the name of that card on the back of the junk common card...__________________ If MTG is a metaphor in our lives, it will be Yawgmoth's Bargain. Coup de grāce ! 我爱上你,但是我必须假装不爱你.

Sharpie + unwanted card = proxy.If you're looking for help to make something that looks vaguely real, you're in the wrong place, as it's very much against the rules to discuss realistic card proxies. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.
