Deck Testing Should Start With the Deck, Not the Document Setup
Proxying a few cards is simple. Preparing an entire deck is where the process becomes repetitive. Images have to be found, resized, arranged, checked, and rebuilt whenever the list changes.
MTG Proxy Print is designed to remove that unnecessary preparation work so players can focus on evaluating card choices, testing interactions, and refining their decks.
Our goal is simple: reduce the work between having a deck idea and actually testing it.
Without a Dedicated Workflow

- Download files
- Resize cards

Proxy Printing Is Easy Until the Deck Changes
A real playtest workflow is iterative. Cards get swapped, quantities change, different printings are preferred, and entire sections of a deck can evolve after a single game.
Too Much Repetitive Work
Manually rebuilding printable pages after every deck change turns a simple test into an unnecessary design task.
Layouts Become Inconsistent
Combining card images manually can lead to uneven sizing, spacing, and pages that are harder to cut or sleeve.
Decks Rarely Stay Finished
Testing is about iteration. A useful proxy workflow needs to make reprinting and replacing cards easy.
Keep the Workflow Focused on What Players Actually Need
MTG Proxy Print is designed around a small set of practical actions rather than turning proxy creation into a full design application.
Fast input
Start from a deck list rather than building a project card by card.
Visual review
Check the cards and versions before committing to paper.
Practical layouts
Use familiar page formats and predictable card grids.
Easy iteration
Update the list and regenerate sheets when your deck changes.
A Tool That Fits Between Deck Building and Playtesting
MTG Proxy Print is not meant to replace your deck builder. It is the practical bridge between the list you already created and the physical test deck you want to play.
Build an Idea
Create your deck concept wherever you normally brew.
Prepare the List
Copy the card names and quantities you want to test.
Review Cards
Check quantities and choose the printings you prefer.
Prepare Sheets
Configure the page format and generate the proxy document.
Test & Iterate
Play the deck, make changes, and rebuild the sheet when needed.
Simple Principles Behind Every Part of the Experience
Speed Over Busywork
Players should spend their time evaluating decks, not manually preparing image files and page layouts.
Clarity Before Printing
Every important choice should be visible before the final document is created.
Useful Control
Give players control over practical print settings without overwhelming them with design software.
Iteration Is Part of the Process
A proxy tool should make changing a deck easier because testing rarely ends after one version.
Different Decks. Same Need to Test First.
Proxy preparation is useful across different types of casual testing and deck-building workflows.
Commander Brewers
Test expensive staples, new synergies, or complete Commander builds before changing your physical collection.
Cube Designers
Experiment with card swaps, archetype changes, and new Cube configurations without rebuilding every physical card first.
Playtesting Groups
Prepare temporary test decks for casual games where the goal is evaluating ideas rather than owning every card immediately.
Players Testing Purchases
Try a card in real games before deciding whether it deserves a permanent place in your deck or collection.
A Proxy Tool Should Not Feel Like Design Software
There are powerful graphic design tools for people who need creative control. Proxy preparation usually needs something different: accurate sizing, organized sheets, clear card selection, and a quick route to printing.
Complexity Meter
Fewer irrelevant controls means less setup between deck versions.
Designed for Testing, Experimentation, and Casual Play
MTG Proxy Print is intended to help players prepare temporary proxies for activities such as deck testing, casual games, Cube experiments, and evaluating cards before acquiring official copies.
Playtesting
Use proxies to evaluate whether cards and strategies work the way you expect before committing to a final deck.
Casual Use
When playing with others, make sure everyone is comfortable with proxies and agrees on how they are being used.
Tournament Rules
Do not assume printed proxies are permitted in sanctioned or organized events. Always check the specific event and organizer rules.
