I enjoy Magic the Gathering, but I hate that it’s leashed with copyright and patent stuff, and basically pay to win with Wizard’s bogus artificial scarcity. You take a look at classics like Chess - no one owns Chess, it’s public domain. Consequently we get a continuous stream of gameplay variants, as well as all manner of Chess sets with virtually any feature and style of art you can think of.
But I realized that even though proxies are kind of a gray area, that doesn’t mean I have to treat them like they have less value than “official” cards. What if there are proxies with truly inspired design and artwork, for example? If people are putting their time and heart into these, why not boost that?
Does anyone here know of any great MTG proxies?


+1 for net runner. Insanely fun game.
Check out team covenants website & YouTube id be willing to bet any of the games they support you would enjoy. Sorcery (1 release a year, hand painted art work), warlords, gudnak, ashes. Pretty much anything they support are both good people behind the games and excellent games.
They even have a preview pack of 4 of the games they support, you just pay shipping.
Edit, link for preview pack, says Warlord but has the preview pack listed: https://www.teamcovenant.com/games/warlord-ccg
