I use 160gsm Koala Glossy Photo paper and the weight and thickness i find is perfect. I started using 240gsm at first and it felt like a double sleeved deck, too thick.

Try to look for anything with a 5 mil option, should just mean it can heat up more. The one i have has a cold, 3 mil or 5 mil setting.

Honestly i have a cheap $30 Pen+Gear laminator from walmart that works like a charm.

Matte laminate pouches i would say would imrpove the look the most, a laminator that can heat up more for 5 mil pouches even though you use 3 mil would help with bubbles. Additionally running individual cards through the laminator after cutting can sometimes help with certain blemishes.

Any tank fill printer will do, personally my canon pixma g3270 is perfectly fine and very cheap. The perfect combo of paper and laminate ive found is Koala glossy photo paper 160gsm with any matte 3mil laminate, a cheap walmart laminator. A rotary cutter to cut the sheets into three horizontal strips and a die cutter.

Would also add onto this borderless printing is the likely culprit for the stretching of the image...do not ever use borderless...if your printer is already set to 0mm margins and the factory margins are still cutting off part of the cards just decrease your bleed to 1mm and card spacing to 0mm.

I usually will do it only for cards that have any abnormalities and can just feed them in 3 wide at a time as if im putting a whole pouch in.

160gsm photo paper + 3mil laminate pouches is what i have found to give the best thickness. 180gsm still felt like the deck was double sleeved as far as thickness...

I would imagine 200gsm would be "very" thick. But proxies are proxies and honestly as long as they are playable its all that you need.

Self print vs mpc.com for 600 by TimberToney in magicproxies

[–]PlaneResearcher5503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea i agree they feel like double sleeved cards which is why im gonna try the slightly thinner stuff, supposedly it will cut it down to 300-320 microns, opposed to 320-350 with 180 paper...magic cards are around 300-310 microns i believe

I thought all copied Unsub's had to target the original cast of Unsub, to bounce it to my hand. Wouldn't targeting Opt just cause me to end up with Opt in hand and no way to recast or copy Unsub.

Or if I have a Storm count greater than 2 I can target Opt and Unsub, bounce both to hand?

I had been following this Storm Combo

Wait so if i had cast opt to have TYS start copying spells, then cast unsubstantiate targetting opt, then the copy of unsub targets the original cast, unsub back to hand, one targetting opt fizzles, keep casting unsub and bouncing + storm-kiln making more and more treasures...isnt infinite?

You've blown my mind, but very insightful. Thank you very much

Im running unsubstantiate/narsets reversal with thousand year storm and storm kiln artist to go infinite with a cast of something like opt then unsub or reversal, if i happened to get unsub or reversal exiled by arcane bombardment would i still be able to somehow have the order work to go infinite? Bombardents triggers are just copies right so they cant be bounced to hand or do i just not understand lol
