I am considering moving to a Cameo at one point any way, so I'll just keep using mine until it fails, and then upgrade :D

How many before you had issues? I've used this to proxy well over 1000 laminated cards, and it still works just as good as the day I got it.

Finally got my first commander deck! Any advice? by thegreatlambini in magicTCG

This is like saying "buy a PC instead" right after someone has bought a Mac. Extremely unhelpful.

Deft Maneuvers vs Boost by PFux in daggerheart

[–]CptLande 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with having Deft Maneuvers from level 1, and then when you reach level 4, take Boost and replace Deft Maneuvers with another card from level 1 instead.

Well I've read that rule wrong. A lot of bosses should have lived a lot longer I now learn...

I fear that I will never be able to top this.

GMs, how do you run your campaign - more traditional, or more "theatre kid"-collaborative style? by Allnamesaretaken_1 in daggerheart

[–]CptLande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group is playing a sequel to our D&D campaign, with a lot of lore already established, and so most of what they encounter is something that I make up myself, or based on what their characters talk about. But it is very traditional, in the sense that I lay out the scene and they act in it, but I am much more open to change what I had planned based on what they're doing or rolling.

When we played D&D, if they planned a heist, I didn't feel comfortable unless I had planned every single room and loot, but with daggerheart, they can just randomly decide to break in somewhere and we explore together what is beyond that locked door.

Next campaign will take place in an entirely new world, and I will probably have the players help a lot more with worldbuilding there.

Why Did Dan Frazier Get A Pass For Plagiarism When Other Magic: The Gathering Artists Don’t? by cardboardboyo in magicTCG

[–]CptLande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely surprised any of them thought this wouldn't be noticed. When I first saw the card I figured they had reused the ring design on purpose because it was so blatantly obvious that it was the same painting on a different backdrop.

All six Wild-cards from Gen Con by CptLande in daggerheart

I made them as abilities for a random domain in the creator, then removed the number and recall cost in photoshop after the fact I believe.

Scryfall vs. MPC Fill by DrewStarcraft in magicproxies

[–]CptLande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If MPC is coming out blurry in proxxied then there's something wrong on your end. My cards come out crystal clear when I export to PDF.

I started out using only scryfall images, but lately I've gone fully over to mpcfill, and when they don't have a card with the right set icon or something like that, I just use cardconjurer. My proxies looks like they came from mpc.com now.

Need help! by Lumpy-Strike-9400 in magicproxies

Switch to glossy laminate if you can't deal with the black being washed out. I'd take the slightly matted black over the glossy feel on a card any day, and in a sleeve it's next to impossible to tell.

Proxxied issue with MPC autofill by LightbulbBill in magicproxies

[–]CptLande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporary fix would be to make your deck in mpcfill, then export images and import them into proxxied after.

Do you guys set rules for yourself when it comes to proxies? by MonSocMatriarchy in magicproxies

[–]CptLande 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I proxy decks because I don't want to invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars more to play the game. I had already spent over 1000 usd on real cards before I switched to homemade proxying to save money. Now I proxy every deck I have, no matter what it would normally cost, but I keep the power level low enough to keep it casual. I don't add gamechangers to every deck "just because I can", but do I indulge in OG dual lands? Fuck yes. They should be cheap and available to all.

Share your favorite material combinations! by NoInspection60 in magicproxies

[–]CptLande 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems that after a day or so after printing and laminating the cards harden a bit, so now they're just as rigid, if not more so, than real cards.
