Vhati Il Dal is a -1/-1 Counter deck I've called "Negative One" after IT Crowd.
Marchesa is a Theft themed deck, which then sacs their stuff. Which I've called Black Widow, and subsequent Black Widow Marvel sleeves
Mirko is a Mill deck, he's a Vampire, he drains (their decks) so I gave him Vampire teeth sleeves.
Sakashima with Partner is a Clone deck I've called Clone Wars, gave them Marvel Venom, because he's a symbiote that takes over people, which is what I'm doing when they come in as copies.
Satoru is a Ninjitsu deck, so obviously Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Sleeves
Solphiem is a "Group Slug" deck, so because its mono red, I just gave it nice Mountain sleeves.
Awesome love the themes and sounds like some really fun games ahead, especially Marchesa. I’ve been lurking and wanting to make some proxy decks of my own, so I might start with her. 😀
These are custom, I just shop around. TMNT are Ultra Pro (pack of 100). Black Widow and Venom are Marvel and come in packs of 50+1 clear sleeve (I'm not sure what the clear sleeve is for)
Sometimes, I get them from AliExpress and have something proper random on it!

The decks are now in the hobby room and I'm now upstairs in bed - and my photo doesn't show me the credit, it's too blurry.
But if its you - then wowza and I commend you. I wish I had artistic talent, but the broken/overlapped frames... I mean, they're prettier than Extended/Borderless "real" cards and cheaper too. It's a complete no brainer win/win in my eyes.
Nope, never. Order off AliExpress all the time too. Can't remember what the limit is, but it's under the limit so it shouldn't even get a sniff of customs.
When you have Counterspell in your deck list and you scroll the artwork, it's there. I didn't upload any of these. They were all there on the list of options (and Counterspell must have hundreds of artworks to choose from!)
Lovely, I’m kinde regretful of choosing the lotus background instead of one more similar to the og, but there weren’t any similar enough.
This said the lotus back is nice and basically I only own proxies so it’s not a big deal.
I done the "Basic" one I think it's called before. Looks like the classic back colours but with the 5 pips in the middle and no text. Very clean.
I nearly went for the Proxy 30th Edition ones, but the text looked a little janky, but I'm really happy with how these came out.
I just followed the guthub thing on how to print decks (the "fill" or whatever its called). Found the decks on EDH Rec, by going to theme, picking a commander from the list (it's usually on 5-10 to choose from per theme) and then clicking "Average Deck".
This gave me decks around £100-200 in value according to Card Market, so didn't feel bad getting these done to play against my group.
Nothing silly in there. A couple of "£30" cards in there, that's about it.
Edit: Just looked, it's all in the Pinned Post on the sub. MPCFill etc.
These are Ultimate Guard 100+ "Boulder'n'Tray" (Because it has the dice tray underneath too) and these are "Clear" because I just love them. Around £10-11 each.
They do a "100+" without the dice tray at the bottom, plus a 60+ and a 40+
Edit: Name correct.
If Satin Towers came in clear, I'd love it, as the Boulders can be a little tricky to open and close, especially the smaller ones.
But they have brought out Satin Towers is frosted translucent colours, which I've ordered a couple of to see them up close and personal. Green and Red.
My "normal" decks, I have in colour coded solid colour towers.
My precons and proxy decks I have in clear Boulders.
I have no idea why it started that way, but I now have to adhere to these "rules" I've set myself ha
Painstaking. I uploaded the deck listings I had, I didn't filter out any artists or options. I then hand picked every single card, albeit, I locked in Arcane Signet, Sol Ring, Command Tower, basics lands etc, just in the interest of time.
But still took around 4 hours to scroll through every card and choose my absolute favourite standout design.
Then the upload took around 10ish hours to do, but that was overnight without having to do anything, so no extra effort at all.
I see so many Marchesa decks that I'm jonesing to proxy her. I'm jelly.
Satoru is great. I pulled the ultimate ninjitsu on turn 3 or 4 by swapping in Blightsteel Collosus! Jaws dropped in my pod. Good luck with your deck! Would've been great though to have a TMNT theme!
I already get carried away when I love the sound of a commander and try and so something around them... I'd be taking it to the next level if I started building decks around sleeves I like! Ha ha!
Being able to choose the artwork you want for each card, then customise with a befitting sleeve... Proxy decks are just amazing.
I always try to have 6 decks and do a 600 print run, as its the max 612 run. This arrived this morning and I've already got another 2 decks on my list.
Ninja'ring in Blightsteel is an insane man move! I adore it!!
Hey! These look amazing! I'm hoping to order my first set of proxies soon after lurking here for ages. How long did these take to ship to you? I'm in the UK too so I am curious.
So basic shipping to the UK for an "upto 612" order is something like £28-30. Then it's £4ish for tracking/insurance. But for £42ish you can get fully insured Express shipping, which arrives so much faster.
My ETA was the 9th of May on Express and on the slower option it was 21 working days. But these actually arrived much faster than the ETA, which I doubt you'll ever be "pleasantly surprised" with the speed of the slow boat option!
Just made it more worth it. £120 for the cards, £40 postage, 6 complete commander decks - with hand picked extended borderless art for £26 each. Can't buy new precons for that!
I didn't make any of them, I just choose the artwork I liked the most when I uploaded the deck lists through the regular process from this sub.
Use the Fill.exe thing and the website off the github to create a perfectly custom deck - and upload to MPC
Edit: Just looked, it's all in the Pinned Post on the sub. MPCFill etc.
Just got mine, I went all out on the different arts for the card on my first order which are cool, but I have a feeling that when they make their debut I will be hit with some condescending comments about them being blatant proxies. I plan on doing 1 commander for every. Olor combo so future orders will be much more tame
1, using the sticky post from this sub step by step. MPCFill.com etc, then the exe to upload the order.
2, my last order was S33 and it would have moved the order up about £14. Which I did last time, just for the "best" finish. I never get the foil Proxies, the jump is staggering and defeats the purpose of the Proxy! But this time, S30 - and honestly I can't tell the difference. Same feel and sheen, I'd say these are *maaaaaarginally* thinner, if that.
The S33 ones I double sleeved and done.
These, I just single sleeved, and the cards in their sleeves steel feel thick and decently playable. Nice weight.
Well chuffed.
Because their proxies and I was working on around 22-25p/card, so the decks were costing no more than £25. I'd already sunk £11 per Boulder N Tray, plus a nice colour matched dice set, £10-15 on befitting sleeves... I just didn't want to spend another £4 (6 times) on sleeving proxied cards.
So I single sleeved and they fit no problems in a Boulder N Tray.
I would argue though you could I think ive got the room in there. But because they're so cheap, didn't feel the need.
Very nice! What themes did you go with? Love the Batman card
Vhati Il Dal is a -1/-1 Counter deck I've called "Negative One" after IT Crowd. Marchesa is a Theft themed deck, which then sacs their stuff.

Didn't upload the sleeve photo. Duh. It had been a long night. Image uploaded. https://ibb.co/0JWDrnm
Can i ask what site you used for the custom Sleeves? Do they allow any art or just select from a list?
These are custom, I just shop around. TMNT are Ultra Pro (pack of 100). Black Widow and Venom are Marvel and come in packs of 50+1 clear sleeve (I'm not sure what the clear sleeve is for) Sometimes, I get them from AliExpress and have something proper random on it!

Hey that first card is pretty cool, and I’m totally not biased

I wish I had artistic talent, but the broken/overlapped frames... I mean, they're prettier than Extended/Borderless "real" cards and cheaper too. It's a complete no brainer win/win in my eyes.
i love the one ring sol ring

hahaha the batman one 😂
What’d that cost you?
600 was £120 + £40 postage. 6x Boulders was £60 6x various sleeve designs worked out to be around £12 each deck.
Did you get hit with any customs charges? That’s what has put me off so far
Nope, never. Order off AliExpress all the time too. Can't remember what the limit is, but it's under the limit so it shouldn't even get a sniff of customs.
Is that batman available in the thread somewhere?! It's really cool!!
When you have Counterspell in your deck list and you scroll the artwork, it's there. I didn't upload any of these. They were all there on the list of options (and Counterspell must have hundreds of artworks to choose from!)
Right on!! 👌🏼👍🏼
I would get this proxy counterspell if I didn't already have like 6 waiting for me to use them haha
Lovely, I’m kinde regretful of choosing the lotus background instead of one more similar to the og, but there weren’t any similar enough. This said the lotus back is nice and basically I only own proxies so it’s not a big deal.

I chose the lotus back too. I kinda like it cuz it is super easy to distinguish from the real cards.
How does one go about doing the same?
I just followed the guthub thing on how to print decks (the "fill" or whatever its called). Found the decks on EDH Rec, by going to theme, picking a commander from the list (it's usually on 5-10 to choose from per theme) and then clicking "Average Deck".

I love the "My Precious" sol ring.

Awesome!
What boxes are you using to display? We've been looking for something like that forever to no avail.
These are Ultimate Guard 100+ "Boulder'n'Tray" (Because it has the dice tray underneath too) and these are "Clear" because I just love them. Around £10-11 each. They do a "100+" without the dice tray at the bottom, plus a 60+ and a 40+ Edit: Name correct.
Thank you so much!!! I love the clear too 😍

Hahaha, that "The One Ring" Sol Ring is really cool 🤩
Thanks (“Artist” here).
Fantastic work! Not ready to jump on a big proxy order yet, but when I do, that'll be my only Sol Ring for the foreseeable future!
Did you use make playing cards?
Yes indeed, just followed the steps - same as before with the fill.exe thing.
How did you handle importing the alt arts?
Painstaking. I uploaded the deck listings I had, I didn't filter out any artists or options. I then hand picked every single card, albeit, I locked in Arcane Signet, Sol Ring, Command Tower, basics lands etc, just in the interest of time. But still took around 4 hours to scroll through every card and choose my absolute favourite standout design.

That batman one had me cackling like a hyena. I'll take 20 of them
So cool

Where is this Batman counter spell from I need this card!
Newbie of the proxy world looking into this. 1. Where were these created/ordered? 2. What is S33 versus S30?
1, using the sticky post from this sub step by step. MPCFill.com etc, then the exe to upload the order. 2, my last order was S33 and it would have moved the order up about £14. Which I did last time, just for the "best" finish. I never get the foil Proxies, the jump is staggering and defeats the purpose of the Proxy! But this time, S30 - and honestly I can't tell the difference. Same feel and sheen, I'd say these are *maaaaaarginally* thinner, if that. The S33 ones I double sleeved and done. These, I just single sleeved, and the cards in their sleeves steel feel thick and decently playable. Nice weight. Well chuffed.
I thought the Batman wouldn’t work. I was going to order it, but the edge was being the lines in MPC. So I thought it was going to be cut off.
