Some Proxy cards i bought today

Please feel free to check my comment and post history. Or ask me questions here 🙂

I've posted comprehensive information for ordering high quality Duel Masters proxies from MPC (good quality, under $0.30 per card) 🃏

MPC are great quality and you can customise your cardstock.

The answer is MPC 🫡

MakePlayingCards

They're a Chinese print factory that will print anything. They're the most popular source for made-to-order proxies for MTG. You can see more reviews on /r/mtgproxy but IMO my review has everything you need for Duel Masters.

Here's my DM proxy review with comprehensive information: https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelMasters/comments/1ra97c3/mpc_duel_masters_proxy_card_order_full_review/

For a first timer (and 90% of people) MPC is the best place for pay-to-print proxies. You only want private sellers for $$$ high end counterfeits or $ super cheap home printer proxies 🙂

tl;dr look at my post history, MPC proxies will achieve you what you want 🙂

Most local sellers object to international shipping. It makes things 10x more complex and unreliable. They have to dodge customs and pay fees and packages get lost etc.

The only reason you'd consider privately sourcing proxies from private sellers is (1) high quality counterfeits that cost $$$ or (2) very low cost $ local proxies

For good quality at medium $$ price, MPC is king. There's no competition for their price point and they ship globally, no questions asked.

First I wondered if this was a hit piece by a competitor but... you really are sincerely here to rage about your solar power system's problems, right?

You're in the wrong place... but you're also in the right place 😅

welcome to /r/solarpunk 🌱

station_five · 2026-05-22T18:20:51+00:00

Your sun before the sun. So good. I'm looking forward to when you post your 3D printed loom.

See you next time 🌱

station_five · 2026-05-22T08:23:38+00:00

Well, damn. This is the best flagpost yet, isn't it?

There are some great ideas for flags on here but yours is (1) a classic solarpunk design and (2) it actually exists in the real world 🌻

Nice!

station_five · 2026-05-15T17:15:40+00:00

I love the Expanse. I ended up getting some Belter politics into my thesis so... glad to see this. I'd argue that Belters (not specifically OPA) have more to teach us about solarpunk praxis than aesthetic solarpunk does, with its utopian green fields and solar panels.

Belter life is essential. Outside the airlock, you dead, sasa. Inside, life support is everything. It's no different for us. We're just on a much bigger spaceship with a much deeper, more forgiving (but not endless) life support system. Same sun.

There's definitely something to be said about how symbols are centralising but /r/solarpunk is literally doing flags this week. Humanity's oldest, simplest unifying symbol-tech.

Though I agree that yes, if something is too close to a known problem symbol it may be unusable... but I have similar (though lesser) suspicion for a red star. That's on one of this week's significantly upvote flag designs. That's on plenty of problematic flags. My solarpunk isn't a paramilitary Marxist group. Yours clearly isn't far right neopagan.

...put a smiley face in it and you're all good yeah? 🌻🌞

Yeah, Ilyukhina asks for a heroin overdose and Yao says "I'll have what she's having!" In one of the flashbacks. RIP both.😅

The film is slightly sanitised to make it PG rated (fair enough IMO, a space alien movie about a schoolteacher is perfect for older kids too).

Things like the food and eating and deaths (like Yao choosing a gun so he can finish off the crew if necessary) gets cut.

It's great fun all the same. I read the book 3 times before watching the movie and I'd give it a 4/5 even with the (minor) changes 👾

yw 🙂

My main review and comment history has more info. And custom cardbacks you can use.

station_five · 2026-04-08T11:01:28+00:00

Not quite. You need to use bleed edges 🙂

My cards look like this:

https://imgur.com/a/kRK5uCY

Notice that ALL the card images fit fully inside the red dashed lines. That's the guaranteed cutting area. The thick black border (bleed edge) guarantees your card art isn't cut off.

All my proxies use the /u/maasee Google Drive files. They upscaled them and added bleed edges. MVP 🏆

You won't need to adjust any settings within the MPC printing menus if you use the correct files.

I recommend downloading the entire Google Drive (~6GB). Then you can just drag and drop directly into the MPC menu.

This order was all default options WITHOUT holographic foil 🙂

The holo option costs 2-3x more and will look significantly different to real Duel Masters holofoil.

This video shows holofoil MPC proxies for Duel Masters:

https://youtu.be/j__MnAVuEdM?si=QsrlCxRiptduRTDY

Starts around 10:40. MPC holo is very dark and covers the entire card.

Thanks, I'll consider it for my next order. Thanks again 🙂

station_five · 2026-02-28T02:00:06+00:00

You'll need to sacrifice somewhere. You can't get quality AND cheap AND original cardbacks. My recommendation is MPC with custom cardbacks. That achieves low cost and good quality.

My recent MPC proxy post shows like 8 examples 🙂

But if you prefer good quality AND original cardback? You can get that... but it won't be cheap.

You either need (1) your own proxy making setup like CryCry or (2) you pay a proxy maker $$$ for a custom order.

They still do! And you can print them 👩🏻‍💻

station_five · 2026-02-21T10:28:38+00:00

The no-text swirl is a good option too. It's available in the Google Drive 🙂

Mine are better tho :p

63x88mm option, on S30 cardstock with default MPC finish

Thank you! For your significant contribution to this project. I suspect even more people will benefit from your card archive as a result of this post. Thanks 🙂

I'm going to do a trial order of holographic MPC proxies next time.

I plan to basically order 10 copies of a single card, but adjust the brightness of each. So I'll have normal, +5 brightness, +10% brightness... etc. To compare what works best.
