@lain @nugger ok, not THAT bad. Why do people buy these proxies that have nothing to do with the card

@snacks @nugger the full edh deck proxy sets look pretty cool mostly, with official wotc art getting worse they are probably the better alternative.

@lain @snacks what does proxy even mean in this context

@lain@lain.com remote

@piggo @snacks just means magic card that's not by wotc

@piggo @snacks the idea is that you can't just play a card you don't have, but if you want a different artwork you can show that you own the original and play a 'proxy' for the original. of course outside of official wotc tournaments nobody cares about that, but wotc wants the most powerful card to be the credit card so they don't condone it for tournaments.

@lain @piggo originally prxy was more for substituting expensive cards or just testing a card before buying. In the official tournaments i don't think you're allowed to use proxies at all

@snacks @piggo i thought you were allowed if you had both cards in the same sleeve, but i think the tournament scene is dying anyway

@lain @snacks @piggo when nexus of fate was played you notably *had* to proxy that shit in tourneys because the only available print was a box promo with eye watering foil and bent profile or embossed letters or some shit that marked you card sleeves. so no you don't
