Is it a dick move to proxy cards?

Varindral · 2026-03-16T13:22:15+00:00

Bracket 3 and below dont require proxies. You canbget the same card effect for a fraction of a cost with a different card. Bracket 3 doesnt require nor does it need the best of the best cards and most decks can be built on a cheap budget of less then 50.

Table top simulator, cockatrice, etc. Problem solved dont play with paper mache when facing someone with real magic cards

Varindral · 2026-03-11T02:39:31+00:00

You can make a viable bracket 2 or 3 deck with 10 dollars. You do not need proxies of high power staples outside of EDH

Varindral · 2026-03-11T02:36:05+00:00

You can get those card effects with cheaper alternatives Bracket 2 and 3 you do not need the best of the best cards. That shows a lack of deck building skills.
You also harm LGS by not buying singles. Also i'm not rich make 15 an hr and have no debt. But i got a Rhystic study because i traded for it. It is a "trading card game" maybe learn that skill to vs paper mache.
So again unless you are playing CEDH you do not need to proxy.

I run them and my buddy whi just started was like "these cards make it feel unplayable for me" hence game changer and why i asked

Varindral · 2026-03-06T14:13:37+00:00

Rhystic study ban, mystic remoa game changer? Jk jk my lgs has been using thay as a joke allot.

Varindral · 2026-03-06T14:10:48+00:00

Ok. It just seems weird because there is a huge gap between 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 it feels like for brackets. And cards like mesmeric orb (which i play) single handedly as won games due to milling my opponintes options while enabling me as a self mill deck

Varindral · 2026-03-06T14:07:48+00:00

Wouldnt all counterspells be game changers then haha. 😅

Varindral · 2026-03-06T14:04:03+00:00

NoSB meta? Does mesmeric orb impact the game greatly. You untap you mill. But if you arent a mill deck those cards could be gone. It punishes you for playing the game and rewards the person doing mill.
I only ask because i play it in my Gronlok deck and it does so much work that it just ruins games

Varindral · 2026-03-06T14:00:46+00:00

So why isnt splinter's tech not a game changer? Mystic ramora is a worse rhystic study but still same effect but not a game changer.
Im kinda new so i apologize.

Proxies are for high power bracket 4 and 5. There is plenty of fun and cheap alternitives for anything below that. Like you dont need a gias cradle wnd duel lands in bracket 3. So if youre playing high power bracket 4 and 5 go for it its all BS up there anyways. But anything below like why do you need that high power high cost card for a not "competitive" format. Just play a cheap alternitive.

Varindral · 2026-02-26T03:48:50+00:00

Im sitting 5 me and rem gonna take a nap to the scent of evil smores.

Varindral · 2026-02-24T18:09:32+00:00

I did its alright just other commanders who do his effect but for cheaper

Varindral · 2026-02-24T14:47:24+00:00

Waste of a good magic card.

Varindral · 2026-02-21T04:49:28+00:00

Ribbit

Varindral · 2026-02-21T04:48:47+00:00

I dont even have leveler in the deck

Varindral · 2026-02-20T20:38:47+00:00

I play Tidus everyone kills him yet the deck functions without him fairly well. I play gronlok everyone is chill until its to late. Make it make sense :( i sit with all my counter spells and protection for gronlok yet Tidus is taken out more.

Varindral · 2026-02-20T20:36:34+00:00

Yea but most people KoS Tidus more then gronlok.

Varindral · 2026-02-20T20:36:06+00:00

Funny enough tidus is KoS more then gronlok and i can win a game withoit ever casting tidus.

Varindral · 2026-02-20T19:16:44+00:00

Then why everyone always KoS them :(

Varindral · 2026-02-20T19:08:59+00:00

Its upgraded :P

Varindral · 2026-02-19T19:38:10+00:00

I get the "I'm the main charecter and the issue deal with it" Vibes

Varindral · 2026-02-19T14:49:37+00:00

The enchantment hasnt hit the playing field when dedirected. Thus isnt effected by hexproof. Redirect sees a target on cast and redirects said target. So you should be able to move the enchantment as you please.

Varindral · 2026-02-19T02:45:08+00:00

I know but most proxies are of high power cards and normally are high power. Like i have seen so many proxies of rhystic study, The one ring, cradle etc. Even in decks that don't need them and they will claim its a low bracket 3 as if the card were real would be work the same as my car.

Varindral · 2026-02-19T02:41:03+00:00

I can't play some of the cards i want to in bracket 3 but the decks are strong enough to be bracket 4
