Talk:Card sleeve

Proxies
In casual MTG games I sometimes saw players who used card sleeves to easily make proxies. The actual card would be a common, but they'd also slip in a piece of paper with the title of the card it was supposed to represent. Was this common enough to be mentioned in the article? --Mrwojo 06:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Sounds reasonable to me; it's something you can do with card sleeves that's not so easy to do without them. And I think it can be sourced, there's surely an article on the Wizards site somewhere that talks about this phenomenon. Mangojuice 12:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

With some tape it's easy to do w/o a backing, but it's really noticable (e.g marking).--Nog64 03:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Or talking to your opponent prior to a game (i.e. "This Prodigal Sorcerer in my red deck will represent Urza's Rage until I get my allowance/get to the card shop, ok?") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.71.144.231 (talk) 21:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

proxies of this kind are required for the latest 2 sets of vampire the eternal struggle. as they are PDF releases printing and using sleeves is the only way to get them into play. for sanctioned events the printing must be of high enough quality to give the artwork good treatment and the artists name must be visible for notoriety. i recently printed out 17 cards for my vtes deck to avoid spending $350USD on 17 cards. proxies are indeed a good method for exploring hypothetical decks which cannot be otherwise built for lack of cards.121.72.250.35 (talk) 12:18, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
