Unsurprising the most vocal anti-proxy guy at my LGS buys two full set booster boxes on release day and then posts the cards worth more than 2 dollars for sale the next day, I cbf doing the maths but I know there is no way he breaks even.

Budgeting is apart of the game.

That's cool. Just say you don't want to play Magic with poor people.

I'd rather have fun playing this game than working more hours to buy the cardboard. If they don't agree with that, frankly, I'm not sure I'd want to play with them either.

I used to be against proxying until I had someone drop the knowledge bomb of "I want to fight your decklist, not your wallet" on me.

Sure, I've been slowly getting reals for my Kydele/Tevesh cEDH list (only 4 cards away; the duals and making the Cephalid colosseum real) but proxying to test out new/interesting ideals for a list is valid, especially if it's a signifigant chunk of change.
