How to tell if a MTG card is a proxy
Dude, just use a magnifying glass and look at the rosette patterns on the card. If the patterns are not consistent or if the text borders are fuzzy, you're probably looking at a proxy.

Honestly, most proxies are super obvious. Just play it cool and use real cards; it's not worth the headache.
One of the easiest ways to spot a MTG proxy is to check the light passing through it. Real MTG cards have a specific blue core that you can see when you hold it up to a light. If it doesn't have it, chances are it's a proxy. Also, the feel and texture of the card can be a giveaway; real cards have a distinct feel that's hard to replicate. Lastly, the print quality on a proxy can often be off; look for blurriness or color differences compared to genuine cards.
