The Format Fusion: MTG Proxies

The Gathering is a game of endless possibilities, and sometimes, those possibilities lie in blending existing formats. We’ve all had those “what if” moments, wondering how different formats would interact. But bringing those hybrid ideas to life can be a real challenge due to card availability and cost. That’s where mtg proxy cards, and MTGProxy, become a gateway to experimental gameplay.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of creating custom formats that combine elements of different playstyles. I’d spend hours brainstorming ideas, but we’d always hit a wall when it came to actually playing them. The cards we needed were either impossible to find or ridiculously expensive.

Then, I discovered MTGProxy. The platform was incredibly easy to use, and I could design proxies of any card imaginable. I decided to try it out, creating proxies for a custom format we called “Pauper Vintage,” which combined the card pool of Vintage with the rarity restrictions of Pauper.

The first time we played that format, it was a wild and unpredictable experience. It was like experiencing Magic in a completely new way. We were laughing, strategizing, and having a ton of fun. Using MTGProxy to create these mtg proxy cards made our crazy format a reality, and we were able to explore some truly unique interactions.

Now, we use proxies to play all sorts of hybrid formats. It’s allowed us to explore the creative possibilities of Magic and have some truly unforgettable game nights. MTGProxy has become an essential tool in our playgroup’s creativity.
