How to Make MTG Proxies Look Real
First off, never use proxies in official tournaments; that's a big no-no. But for casual play, here's a trick: Print the proxy on high-quality photo paper for that glossy look and feel. Some folks go the extra mile and glue it to an actual MTG card or a blank cardstock that matches the thickness and texture. You'll want to use a high-resolution image; blurry proxies just ruin the vibe. And remember, lighting and color calibration on your printer make a HUGE difference. Tweak those settings!

Honestly, just buy the cards. Proxies never truly match up, and there's something special about having the real deal in your deck.
I've been making proxies for casual games with friends, and the best method I've found is to print them using a laser printer for crisp images. Then, I sleeve them with a real card behind for the right feel. It's not perfect, but my playgroup doesn't mind since we're just there to have fun.
