Proxies

Who uses them?  Who likes them?  Who hates them?  Thoughts?

Stumbled on the convo in a Decklist, so I animated it and gave it a life here.

Ah Proxies, brings me back to the days of the MTGSalvation forums debacle. The "Make a Proxy thread" last time I saw it it was over 500 pages. 1.6 million views. And thousands of user created proxies. The images were spectacular!!! Half really, some were junk (probably just not my style). Anyway, eventually, due to copyright scares and what not, it got shut down, it's too bad, there were some amazing cards. And the debacle, was just that. Actually, more of a cluster f***, and as DC would say, that's not a candy bar, milk chocolatey cluster f***s dont exist. Full of nougat and f***... Off track.. Ok, well here's a link to the "new" thread; http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?p=8173917#post8173917

But for the love of god can we please have nothing like what happened there go down here!!!

What do you guys use for tokens? I use the actually tokens but I use to use custom adventure time ones and I've seen people use Pokemon cards as tokens.

There is this one guy I know who has a bunch of awesome proxies. Original dualies, alt-art cards, foil mindsculptors. They look really real to.

Glass beads from a craft store. They are black "cat's-eye" flattened beads so you can turn them upside down to tap them. Dirt cheap and I keep a bunch of them and some dice in a Crown Royal bag.

Fancy. I use colored ones for soul bonding.

Thanks. I just happened to have the bag, and it fits in my binder.

Crown royal special reserve???

I use proxies as much as possible for money cards, only a professional grader can tell the difference usually. Wotc send in the FBI! Lol.

I use proxies for expensive cards I already own a playset of.  For example if I have 2 decks that need 4 copies of {misty rainforest} then one deck will have proxies and the other will have the real deal.

I also have like 4 decks with playsets of {birds of paradise} so I got some gold bordered birds, colored the borders black, sleeved em up, and game on!!!!

As long as you have the real card to back it up with I'm fine if you use a proxy.
