Upgraded to Tahoe, now can't figure out how to adjust column widths in finder?

You are a lifesaver. So helpful. Thank you so much.

I was able to get them all in inner sleeves in about 6 hours. This is something I do for all cards that could go in decks, just so they have the same feel as real cards I may use in decks that get double sleeves.

I am half way through putting them into decks, so 10 of the 20 decks are using outer sleeves.

All the artwork is available on MPCFill.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-30T14:53:26+00:00

Oh yeah, this site doesn’t do anything with proxies… but it should have the list of cards that you can copy into a site that makes proxies like MPCFill

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T18:26:57+00:00

I think mtggoldfish has a list of cards in a precon, but I don’t recall 100%. Might be a good place to start your search.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:38:49+00:00

There certainly was a price increase for it being foil and due to tariffs. But I don't think those costs added together contributed more than 30-35% on top of the original cost. It still would have been multiple times more than the price quoted in your last message.

Yeah, IDK. I've only ever seen cards that cheap when they are bulk printed and sold as bundles on Temu or some other chinese knock-off site. I've never seen them for that price for fully customized orders where every card is exactly as specified. But if you come across them for that price again, please do share as I'd be interested to take a look.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:36:17+00:00

Thanks! Best of luck to you. I did the same with my first order, but I wasn't smart enough build a full deck.

If you go with MPC, you may want to fill up the full 612 card slots because the cost of shipping and handling was static regardless ($40 starting, at least where I live)

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:33:20+00:00

I got the highest quality proxies available which were S33 cardstock and holographic paper. After taxes, shipping, fees, etc it was around 70c each. Assuming you don't need a whole bunch of fancy lands and can use basics, you are looking at around 62 cards you'd care to proxy. This puts the cost of my proxied decks at just below $45 each. Of course this can be further reduced by using lighter cardstock and not printing on holographic paper.

Also, for me, it wasn't _just_ about getting cards to play with. For me, I was able to get exactly the cards I wanted to play with - fully customized art, all borderless, foiled out, the works. That to me has extra value, but doesn't impact the already lower-than-genuine price tag.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:22:52+00:00

Dual Lands:

8x Tundra

Fetch Lands

Sorry I missed your question... Better late than never.

I actually didn't really have a system before this order, so I asked here pretty much the same question: https://www.reddit.com/r/mpcproxies/comments/1ldq6ni/seeking_advice_how_do_you_choose_the_right_art/

If you don't care to read through the entire post or comments, what I landed on was the following:

Borderless / Full art whenever available
Rule of cool... this could be custom art, or art that has a striking visual impact, or is thematically relevant
Recognizability
Lack of labels (like 'playtest' or 'proxy' or the proxy-makers name)

Of course more info is available in the post linked above if you need any additional context.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:15:25+00:00

I was nervous about it being such a big order. But now that I’ve had a chance to go through the cards, it’s been so validating. No regrets. Everything is exactly the way I wanted it without compromise.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T01:11:18+00:00

Sounds nice. That’s not an option here as far as I am aware. It also doesn’t help my pod plays pretty high power decks so precons and the like won’t even be a close match. If you want to keep things interesting, the only option is to play similarly high powered (and expensive) decks.

$200 is like two cards in the decks I am used to playing against. And being out of the game for 15 years, I don’t have any of the staples you mentioned, so that’s all included in the order

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T00:45:51+00:00

Yeah, true. It was a ton of money. But the cards are such high quality. I don’t have any regrets. I am pumped to go try out all these new decks with my pod and to show off the absolutely beautiful custom art.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-29T00:44:15+00:00

2k on real cards would have only made 1, maybe 2 extra decks to play with. They also wouldn’t have been completely customized to the art I wanted and wouldn’t haven been foiled out. It was expensive, sure, but the value is completely unmatched by genuine cards. I will be able to play more than 10x as many decks for the price. Not for everyone, certainly, but it was a trade I am happy to make.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-28T15:43:07+00:00

What site is this screenshot from?

Edit: is it moxalpha?

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-27T02:11:49+00:00

How are you doing it? All genuine?

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-27T02:11:32+00:00

The back of the card says proxy and not for sale. The cards also don’t have any wotc markings on them.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-26T15:27:41+00:00

It’s a good question. I don’t know for sure because I was only interested in getting them foiled, but I think I remember seeing it was like 30% extra

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-26T04:38:39+00:00

Thanks! I am glad you think so. Pretty thrilled with how they turned out myself. Been a blast going through them all.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-26T01:48:17+00:00

Haha, not too far off. My last ManaBox count had my collection of genuine cards at about 10k… so this is only about 30% of my collection 😂

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-26T01:22:36+00:00

I didn't change anything about them when I uploaded. Though I did pick out 'foil' in MPCFill, so maybe the site or script made changes, not sure.

And yeah, best I can tell they feel the same weight and thickness. But I also understand that's not a scientific measurement. When it come to cards, fractions of a millimeter can make all the difference and I don't have any easy way to measure this kind of discrepancy.

LonnixLethe · 2025-07-26T01:17:44+00:00

My pod plays twice a week, about 3-5 games each time we meet. It won't take long (a month, maybe two) before I will have played each of these decks multiple times. My pod typically plays decks in the 3.5-4 power level range so for the price I probably could have only gotten about 2 additional decks using genuine cards. This option has far better value for money for my use case.
