Pretty soon I am going to start making proxies and was wondering if anyone had specific card suggestions:)
And any advice.
Thank you

I know I am going to proxy each tier 1 modern deck for sure. Are there tier 1 commander decks?

Well I will be making fetches and planeswalkers, and power nine. And staples.

Do people have specific card suggestions besides fetches and power nine??

Safest way to proxy is to make your proxies obviously fake... Black and white or no card backing, etc.

If you ever make Proxies, never sell them.  At most, trade them or give them away, but selling them both seems stupid and is kinda illegal, I'd assume due to intellectual property laws.  I've made several different kinds of proxies (Foil, Nonfoil, Blanks, etc.) for different purposes and they all came out differently. 

Of course, the easiest way to proxy a card is just to take a sharpie and write on the back of another card...

And it's totally doable!  If people are interested enough, I could write up a post on the ways I craft my proxies.  For reference, here's ones that I have on-hand (and different types of Proxies, in general), from a recent Vintage tournament, as well as from an EDH deck I own (and a crap-proxy Temple Garden because somehow I didn't have an extra one sitting around.

Why crying?
I love crude drawn proxies:)
I have an orzhov guildgate that is a piece of paper glued on top of one to be a ghost buster thing..
I find them cool for some reason.
But when I get these started up I will post up some pictures:)
Will not be for sale or trade. Will be as a gift exchange:)
