Proxies for Proxy Tournaments

[TylerEss]

I just got done making my proxies for SCG in Chicago and they are TEH AWESOME!!11one!

Here's my question: Does anybody else like to make "fun" proxies, or is it just quick-and-dirty scribble-on-the-land-with-a-sharpie?

I can scan/post, but won't if nobody's interested.

i just scan and print from my originals
it's extremely hard to keep track of scribbly notes in doctor's handwriting, especially when the cards are upside down
doesn't scg have specific rules on making proxies? ie sharpied on basic land?

Lots of places don't always want you to make fancy proxies because you can often times distinguish them from other cards in your deck if they're thicker or whatever because you glued or slipped a piece of paper in.  I personally like using picture proxies because it's easier to tell them apart, but it's always a better idea to ask the judge beforehand what type of proxies they want.

At one of the infinite proxy tournaments in C-bus I didn't have anything to do so I made my own pictures on the proxies I got off essentialmagic.com. They produced the desired comedic effect.

Can I hope that you at least remembered that all proxies are required to be written on basic lands or blank tournament cards? And that no printing is allowed? If so, PM me some scans, my proxies look like shit, ATM. And I'm going to be at SCG: Chicago, too .

Scan and post please!! Some people even use expensive photo paper to print colored proxies on  :shock:

I just used a sharpie on some "world championship deck" white-fronted cards, but with an eye toward the (admittedly lame *grin*) humorous.




I also proxied Time Walk, but that was far too lame to even post here.
I'm actually really happy with how the Big Giant Man turned out.

Edit: I guess BBCode doesn't like image URLs that start with https://

Here in NC, we take a worthless common, write the name and casting cost on the back, put it in a sleeve, and then make fun of anyone who doesn't know what the card does. Then we show them the wording in Scrye.

TylerEss, your Ancestral is like exactly the same as mine, exclamation point and all.

If I buy a World Championship Deck, how many of those blank cards do they give you?

Answer:

OMG Trogdor Colossus

And to stomp my opponents into rubble, obviously. If I'd been on the ball, I'd be BURNINATING them, instead.


World Championship decks give you 12 blank cards.

Whose Ancestral does mine look just like? Is it a legit card, or a proxy? There's a pimp Ancestral floating around on which Richard Garfield drew an exclamation point, and it was my inspiration for pathetic stick-figure goodness.
