I brought up this idea before and people said it wouldnt be sanctioned then. I think if SCG held a vintage/legacy tourney, where you could buy a "SCG made" proxy at $1 per card, 20 card max, then it would. Would there be a small majority that gets mad about acquiring the real power 9? maybe, but I think more players would be okay with it as long it meant it would expand the # of vintage players.
ps- I think SCG would have to remake proxies each tournament so that people who bought proxies from them before cant just reuse them, theyd have to "buy" new proxies.
Rule would have to be, allow ONLY the cards on the reserved list to be proxied. Aka can't proxy a Tarmogoyf.
I think this would be a great idea for any store who runs 9-10 proxy vintage tournaments as it's a way for a store to make extra money on the tournament for allowing proxies to be played but if done right there would also be no argument on being able to tell where proxies are in someones deck. If star city did this kind of thing for tournaments I am sure they would allow proxies but only allow their custom made proxies and not allow people to make their own proxies. quote:

I agree that the proxy rule should not have anything to do with the cards you can proxy but aside from power 9 and other very high end cards of power level
because of my love for the game I try to acquire everything that I plan to play with in my deck but I would not be mad if someone wanted to proxy brainstorm, ponder, etc for their deck.

I think ur missing the point. Card prices can be controlled by supply. Increase supply and card value will drop. Wotc needs to control this. Unlike the reserved list which is a limited supply. Reserved list cards will only go up in price if they are played in the format. Those cards need to be proxied eventually bc prices will be out of reach for thr majority. Plus if u wanna proxy a brainstorm, why not buy it for a buck? The proxy would cost the same. If wotc sees tarmogoyf get insanely high, they have to keep reprinting to bring down the price. It benefits the company as it increases players and more sales. The ones who are affected are hoarders of many copies of a card. For those who want to keep value in their stock, invest in the original set foils. THose still shouldnt be affected
