Test the deck before buying originals
A Commander proxy deck is useful when you want to test card choices, expensive mana bases, or multiple versions of a list with your playgroup.
- Try upgrades before purchasing originals
- Build full EDH test decks
- Print side projects and alternate commanders
Import lists from common deck tools
Use the import flow for decklist links, text lists, and supported files so you do not need to add 100 cards one by one.
How to plan Commander proxies
Start with the job the cards need to do. A few upgrade tests, a full Commander deck, a cube refresh, and a prepared MPCFill project all need different checks before printing. For Commander proxies, the safest workflow is to choose the project type first, then review card count, paper option, card backs, image quality, and shipping expectations before checkout.
- Define the deck or card project
- Choose manual search, decklist import, custom upload, or MPCFill XML
- Review quantities, card versions, and backs
- Pick Standard Paper, Black Core, or Holo Foil based on use
Paper options and practical tradeoffs
Standard Paper is the lowest-friction choice for frequent playtesting and large lists. Black Core is better when the project will be shuffled often or kept as a favorite casual deck. Holo Foil is best for custom commanders, gifts, display cards, and visual projects. Choosing by use case keeps the order practical instead of overbuilt.
Review checklist before checkout
Before placing a proxy order, check that every card has the intended image, language, quantity, and back. For imported projects, review any card that came from a custom source or prepared file. For full decks, scan the mana base and commander first because those mistakes are easiest to miss in a long list.
Playtesting and policy expectations
ProxyPrintery cards are unofficial custom prints for casual playtesting and personal use. They are not sanctioned tournament legal and should be introduced clearly to your playgroup. If you plan to use proxies at a store event or league, ask the organizer first and follow the event policy.
Questions players ask
Can I print a 100-card Commander proxy deck?
Yes. You can build a full Commander proxy order through decklist import, manual search, or custom uploads.
Are Commander proxies allowed in events?
Ask the event organizer. ProxyPrintery cards are made for casual playtesting and are not sanctioned tournament legal.
What should I check before ordering Commander proxies?
Review card count, images, versions, backs, paper type, shipping details, and whether the cards are intended for casual playtesting rather than sanctioned events.
Which workflow is fastest for a full deck?
Decklist import or MPCFill XML is usually fastest for full decks. Manual card search is better for small upgrade packages or a few custom choices.
