What Is an MTG Proxy?
An MTG proxy is an unofficial stand-in card used for casual play or deck testing. It is not an official Magic card and is generally not permitted in sanctioned events. QPMN prints original card designs created by you or commissioned with commercial printing and sales rights. Submitted content must be clearly distinguishable from official cards and meet QPMN’s artwork requirements. Review the current official rules before creating or using playtest cards: Wizards of the Coast proxies policy and Fan Content Policy.
