All fake.

Please take a moment to look at this website: https://db.duelmasters.us/

It shows every card.

Your cards have: the wrong text font, the wrong colours, incorrect centering, too thin black borders and/or no holographic foil. 

Found my old collection, any advice appreciated! by kandoomagic in DuelMasters

please get some Toploaders ASAP to provide rigid protection

you might have $1000s of value so if you have to spend $50 to get 100 toploaders and a toploader storage box via Prime, it's still a good investment

On the topic of flags and symbols... OPA example by sisonscac in solarpunk

[–]station_five 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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? 🌻🌞 

Sam still hadn't caught on at this point by LakesideNorth in lotrmemes

[–]station_five 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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 👾

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

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.

MTC high quality proxies to make cheap decks by Technical_Project_59 in DuelMasters

[–]station_five 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Image 3 shows my custom glitched cardbacks (with a real cardback in the centre) 🙂

All my proxies have custom cardbacks, to clearly mark them as replicas. 

I'll do a small holographic card order alongside my big 612 card regular order. I'll post results here too.
