How willing would you be to play a game of CEDH against decks that are fully proxies? I’m talking lands and everything.

Literally no one cares. We should make this a pinned thing or read before you post. I’m not trying to be mean but I think we average at least one post like this a day. When the entire premise is to be proxy friendly in this format lol.

Every single cEDH player would rather play against a proxied deck with no concessions than a real one with them.

All of my cEDH decks are fully proxied. Some of my casual decks are fully proxied. I have never met anyone who had a problem with it.
EDIT: we need to get rid of the notion that people only proxy magic cards if they can’t afford them or if they are extremely high power level. I proxy most of my cards simply because it’s easier and cheaper than getting real ones

We (my group) started proxying everything because a) there are a lot of decks we wanna try & b) cardboard rectangles are expensive, and my grown ass has bills to pay. If someone would rather play against someone's wallet than their deck, that's gonna be a no from me dawg

I own … I think 9 proxy decks and 2 actual decks. One of which is extreme budget, one is like $2k, so not budget but it’s missing plenty.
I think the sleeves, deck boxes, etc cost more than the proxies I order. I’m 100% for it.

Is this a real post? You should know by now if you are of this subreddit and/or cEDH that a LARGE majority of the cEDH player base and community is entirely proxy-friendly, except for a few tournaments here and there. I would bet 9/10 cEDH players are already playing either entirely proxied decks or decks that are 90% or so proxied. Kinda ridiculous even ith a disposable income to drop upwards of a few $k on a bunch of cardboard...

CEDH, no problem as long as the cards are legible and don't have rude art. Personally don't need to see nude anime girls on lands (have run into this in store).

depends on your personal play group.
Do not ask reddit then show up to a place where they aren't allowed saying you read something on reddit.

I care about preserving the value of real cards. So even if you want to own all of the expensive cards for your CEDH deck, you should still play with proxies for anything worth more than what you're comfortable damaging.
​
Now -- I am also a fan of art, and the 'feel' of the game. I think sharpie proxies on basics are lazy. If you're going to proxy an entire deck, get high quality proxies made.
Even if you want to do custom-art proxies to fit the theme of your deck, I'm all for it. EDH is about self expression, after all.

I am more judgmental to unproxied decks than proxied ones, in general.
Please don't buy real cards unless you have to or they're cheaper than the proxies.

All day everyday. Just at least print decent looking ones so I don’t have to grab every card to read

100% for proxies. It’s a game, have fun. Protect your investment in real cards. Some people can’t afford the big cards.

My CEDH box has 5 full proxy loaner decks. That's the only way I get games in. I proxied the basic lands for consistency which people think is hilarious but I secretly love it.

Just ordered 99 cards for my inalla deck for $43.. I have most of the lands and spells, but they are spread through other decks. I have the Inalla, im only going to play this in certain groups.
$43 vs $6450..... You tell me

I've learned through being the person who was trying to build a cEDH with zero proxies that the people I was playing against really just wanted me to proxy the cards I didn't have. I did fully buy my cEDH deck but now I have 5 other cEDH decks that are all proxies and they said that they wished I'd have just proxied the deck in the mean time while I was waiting for the cards to finish it cuz they had to play against a deck that they knew wasn't built optimally and they also felt that it made me seem a little condescending because it's like I'm saying by not proxying that they don't have the right to play their decks
