Title: Weird card
Post by: Necromancerman on February 11, 2014, 06:16:42 PM
So today I was on the bus looking through the cards of the kid I mentioned in my matter of good and bad posting, when I found a card that had the back of a regular magic card but the front was a complete uniform black, wtf

No, any respectable game store would be able to tell that the card is a fake.

However, proxies are mainly used as placeholders for cards they either A) Don't own B) Are too expensive for them to afford, or C) All of the above.

You can print the card image right onto the proxy. It's still fake if you look closely, but it helps if you don't want to buy the card.

Oh, wow. I've only seen proxies that are printer paper glued onto a basic land...

What has science done?!
