    Alright I now have made it through the rest of the video after my laughing fit and bruh...you are a GOD TEIR human being for sharing your knowledge with us common folk. My new "for fun" edh deck went from "am I really about to spend over 800 bucks on a deck that won't see competition" to "I spent less then 50 bucks and have not only the most beautiful edh deck I've ever seen, but it's also something I can be very proud of and almost at a 'work of art' level"
    I owe you a beer and a pizza my friend... reply to my comment yo and I'll atleast make a already paid for pizza arrive at your front door courtesy of a very VERY thankful stranger on the internet.
    I'm being 100 percent serious too bro.. please take me up on the offer.

    thanks for this, a lot of other tutorials i've found ask to use stuff like inkaid, glass and tile medium, and varnish, and while i'm not averse to doing all those steps, each one of those things are crazy expensive (the inkaid alone costs about 25 dollars and i can only order it) and difficult to get where i live. all this stuff i can find at staples is very convenient and while not cheap in themselves (the transparency film is 62 dollars where i live for the 50 pack) since it's virtually the only thing that i need on it doesn't come out so expensive or hard to get at all.

    I've arrived! This is exactly what I'm trying to do. Just need some foil dual land alt arts for my cube. I love the idea about making smaller tokens, that's actually brilliant. Makes it easier to play in a smaller space.

  • @funnydubby6401
    @funnydubby6401 Před 6 lety +6

    You can also build up the glue on the back a little bit more than usual to adjust how much foiling you really want, just make sure to even out the glue through out the art of the card or else you'll get some gunk underneath the card.

  • @stevengreer8549
    @stevengreer8549 Před 5 lety

    The best way to keep from messing up the back and to make it easier to get the front off , tape town the card before rubbing it with acetone and use a small paint brush to get the spaces where the tape covers

    Hey Doc, I love this video and process. I'm struggling to get my proxies to print as nicely as yours, though. I even have your same printer but they're just not coming out well--a little blurry maybe? or spotty? It's hard to describe. Anyway, can you share what settings you use in the program/with your printer? Do you tell it that you're printing on photo paper for instance? or change the brightness? Many thanks in advance.

    Great tech! I just made a trophy card for our XLN league using an oversized foil. Looks good but I get micro bubbles or some texture between film and card. Do you have that as well? I can’t see clearly on the vid.

    • @Doctor_MTG
      @Doctor_MTG  Před 6 lety

      +David Grinas I flatten out the bubbles and weight the card down while it's drying to get the perfect finish

  • @WheresYourMelon
    @WheresYourMelon Před 6 lety +1

    Hi doc. Awesome video. I'm in charge of running the games club at my high school and we all love playing magic. Love this idea and am going to start the club with making some of these with my students!! I understand that you cannot use proxies in sanctioned events but let's say we made tokens instead, would we be able to use the tokens at an FNM or local tournament? Thanks!

    • @Doctor_MTG
      @Doctor_MTG  Před 6 lety +3

      Yes, you can use proxy tokens for FNMs and local tourneys. Anything can be used to represent a token since it is not an actual card within your deck.

  • @adam6727
    @adam6727 Před 5 lety +7

    If you're printing on the matte side and putting the transparency on the blank foil gloss side up doesn't that mean you have to print the image backwards?

  • @MTGMagpie
    @MTGMagpie Před 7 lety +1

    Wow this was amazing! I really love the mini tokens. I don't know if I could ever do that to a foil but I do have a load of acetone to hand haha.

    • @Doctor_MTG

      Magic lol. It’s not really white it’s the shading, lighting makes it look white with the reflection of the foil.

    • @bbqseitan7106
      @bbqseitan7106 Před 4 lety

      Not at all.
      People use dice as token proxies.
      MAYBE at the highest level of play they would require real tokens.
      Maybe.

  • @JCrowe86
    @JCrowe86 Před 3 lety +1

    I've been trying to make custom pokemon cards this way, however my images are way too transparent when placed on a foil blank. Only in certain light does it actually look vivid. Otherwise it's rather hard to see. Looks fine with a white background, just not that good on the foil card. Any suggestions?

    • @Doctor_MTG
      @Doctor_MTG  Před 3 lety

      I'll have to run some test and try Pokemon cards, then get back to you

    • @luigimelon3334

      You can use an image editor to flip the image like photoshop

    • @jayarade31
      @jayarade31 Před 6 lety

      Doctor MTG I did. But then the print went out 20% smaller. So I would have to resize them and then the image will look bad :(

    • @Doctor_MTG
      @Doctor_MTG  Před 6 lety

      What was the resolution on the original image you put into the set editor?

    • @Doctor_MTG
      @Doctor_MTG  Před 6 lety

      Also keep in mind that the image might look a little fuzzy on screen but will look sharper when it prints at that smaller scale

  • @outlawgaming893
    @outlawgaming893 Před 6 lety

    You’re allowed to use an actual proxy in an event if your card gets damaged during the event and the judge makes it. Most LGS don’t mind you using proxies you make this sound like much bigger of a deal than it is. There’s nothing wrong with this as long as you don’t try to pass it off for what it isn’t. But good instructions

    • @bbqseitan7106
      @bbqseitan7106 Před 4 lety

      I always ask but the General consensus is that as long as you own the card and can prove it you can use 1 proxie for 1 real card.
      Example if you have 4 real Godless shrine dispersed amongst 4 EDH decks and your modern deck has 4 godless shrine, you can proxy them if you show the LGS your legit ones and tell them "i dont wanna have to take apart my decks".

    There's nothing wrong with selling proxies.
    The problem is trying to sell proxies as if they were real cards. If both parties know 100% that the card is a proxy, then there's no problem, sell away.

    Selling an MTG Proxy is punishable by the same same act when people sell a pirated game, movies or albums. However, owning a proxy is slightly different and can be passed off as paying homage to the original source. Fun Fact, you can download and use any protected film for 24 hours, after that it becomes illegal, so as long you delete the movie within 24 hours, you're in the clear :P

      +4thDeadlySin correct! Very bad things will happen if you sell.
