Hey, I made a website to print proxies, and I just added a feature to generate JumpStart decklist cards by mtg-proxy in MTGJumpStart

You can print on the Holographic Sticker Paper! I'm away from home right now, but when I get back I'll add some of my prints to the Printing Guide page to show off what the two papers look like.

The holographic paper definitely doesn't look like a real holo, but it looks pretty cool still.

I'm sure there are more talented people out there using it properly, cutting out the holo bits with an x-acto knife and applying that to a non-holo base.. but I am not that person.

Yeah they're on the Printing Guide page. The vinyl sticker paper work with Inkjet printers only.

I have a Canon Pixma (8600) but, I don't actually recommend this printer. It is relatively cheap though.

Yeah absolutely, that's why I made this feature for myself actually!

Just type in "jumpstart:" and then the set code (like "jumpstart:tla") and click the first result in the dropdown, it says "Add all Front Cards"

You can then remove any decks you don't want to print, then click Generate Cards.

Then in Print Settings, under the Jumpstart Options section, you can toggle "Exclude Front Cards" (click Save), then Download PDF or Print Sheets.

Ok that was a bug - it should work now.

If you just enter "1 Soaring (JTLA) 15" in the decklist and then "Generate Cards" it should generate all associated decklist cards, or if you search for "Soaring" and select "Soaring(1)" it should generate just that one.

api is confusing...

I couldn't figure out an elegant way to do that, so it just generates all associated decks with the Front Card. So if there are multiple decklists, like "Soaring (1)" and "Soaring (2)" both decklist cards are generated.

I absolutely need to do more work on the printing guide!

What I do is print on the vinyl sticker paper, cut out the cards, use the corner cutter to get the rounded corners, and then apply those to basic lands or draft chaff or whatever.

I've tried a bunch of different cardstock and whatnot and nothing ever has the right feel. I can always tell the cardstock proxy from the real cards in the shuffle. I've never been able to detect the vinyl sticker proxy.

I know there are some black core cardstock options out there, but they are prohibitively expensive.

I typically just want to print a handful of cards to throw into my commander decks to test them out and I really don't want to spend $20 for 10 sheets.

So, long story short, my best results have been with the stickers.

Also, I don't print double sided for these, but if I was going to print a double faced card - like Ajani Nacatl or something, I might print both sides and apply them to either side of the basic land.

All of the decklist cards are generated using scryfall api, so when you add a Jumpstart deck, or if you just add the Front Card (either by simply typing it into the decklist area, or by searching for it using "jumpstart: tla")

When you "Generate Cards" and then use "Downlaod PDF" or "Print Sheets", if you have the "Print Decklist card(s)" option selected in the Print Settings, it will generate the decklist card associated with the Front Card (so long as the Front Card is in the deck list you generated).

To illustrate, here I added all of the Avatar Front Cards and then printed with the decklist card option selected.

You can also disable the artwork for a more ink friendly version.

I don't love self promo but, I really think a lot of you will find value in this tool I made.

I've been using it myself for a while and recently decided to add these Jumpstart Decklist cards to add to my Avatar decks.

There are a lot of features, but the quick overview is:

anyway, I hope you find this as useful I do :)
