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...

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.
