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.
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.
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.
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
"awesome content" mtg is awesome...just started playing...some of my decks are good...but nothing fantastic...i love watching mtg videos...especially box openings..anyway - keep on cranking out new videos!!!...
I used to do this just to screen print fake cards for my collection, since I don't have the money to buy real ones, then I decided to start making some really cool custom art ones using a tile gloss method, they turn out awesome for edh decks
"You need acetone, but since my ass is broke ass poor I'm using nail polish remover." My guy...you had me fuckin ROLLIN. The struggle out here is real as fuck!
I just realized that this video was posted 4 years ago and was gonna say that Dark Depths isn’t banned at all in commander because I run it in my Aesi Tyrant of Gyre Strait Lands deck. Don’t mind me, I’m just dumb
1. I was just wondering if you can use the same or a similar process with non foils too 2. You can totally sell these, just advertise them as high-quality custom proxys, lol
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!
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?
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.
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
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".
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.
What about foil/proxy cards for your commander. I really fail to see why it would bring down the wrath of WotC if I'm using a Custom Arcanis instead of a legit Arcanis as my commander.
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?
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.

you are right friend, thats why i speak about not selling and not owning the right to arts. This is just an example of things you can do. Proxies are not for sale due to many copyright laws.
Liam Sarett you can play with them at your LGS for fun. You just can't play with them in Sanctioned tournaments because those are official tournaments and the cards are not real. -Doc MTG
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

finally one that isn't teaching me how to print a piece of paper
That is a cool EXP and Storm counter.
Can't wait to see some anime tokes or proxies =P
I do enjoy proxies for Commander edh
I'm probably gonna use this process to print proxies for cubes and EDH of cards that are too expensive.
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.
That's awesome! I've never seen anyone do different sizes before!

damn bro..you are truly a genius! Thanks for posting this man :)
Thanks Dude, lol. its something fun to mess around with esp. different sizes.
-Doc MTG
"that's what she said...."
I never thought about making small tokens. That’s kind of a cool idea
Super awesome video Doc!!! Nice tokens.. i think i founs what do wirh my oversized commander cards
Nice Tokens! Good luck with your Channel! :)
Lol thanks for the disclaimer dad.

Don’t mind me, I’m just dumb
Not dumb at all
Nail polish remover is probably more expensive than a jar of home depot acetone
1. I was just wondering if you can use the same or a similar process with non foils too
2. You can totally sell these, just advertise them as high-quality custom proxys, lol
That is really cool! I'm gonna have to try this at home!
Hi doc. Awesome video. I'm in charge of running the games club at my high school and we all love playing magic.

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!
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.
This is great! can finally make 30+ tokens for my token deck
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?
Yes you are correct. :)
Dude very very cool! Love the merit!
focus Acetone eh.... Anyway... good stuff man. Real creative! FOCUS
Bizz Erko focusing with my camera is the bane of my existence. Lol
- Doc MTG
Doctor MTG Im going to do something great for you. How can i talk to you other than here?
Bizz Erko Facebook page through messenger or through RUclips PM, and email doctor.g.magic@gmail.com.

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.
lol Thanks, Always like how your nails match your play mats and stuff in your videos.
-Doc MTG
How many card are you getting out of the ink you use/how much is it costing per card?
Nice! They look really cool :)
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.

How did you able to print the white hair on the acetate?
Magic lol. It’s not really white it’s the shading, lighting makes it look white with the reflection of the foil.
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.
+David Grinas I flatten out the bubbles and weight the card down while it's drying to get the perfect finish
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial! What printer do you use?
Non-Stop MTG Canon Pixma
Really cool, how do I size it though? I would love to try this, but Idk how to size the card correctly
What about foil/proxy cards for your commander. I really fail to see why it would bring down the wrath of WotC if I'm using a Custom Arcanis instead of a legit Arcanis as my commander.
+Galvanized Gamer you can, wotc only cards about usage of proxies in sanctioned tourneys
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?
I'll have to run some test and try Pokemon cards, then get back to you
No idea if this is the problem but maybe you can try darkening the image before printing it
I just want to send all my buddy to the shadow realm with these fake look real card. 🤣 got to turn on that cheat code first 🤣
lol
Best comment!
Which sets rub off easiest?
I can't use proxy lands in standard? Do not affect any xd
Where xan you get cheapp foils to be used for this? And would you recommend to laminate the card for protection?
Best on youtube!!!
I thought this is great, then looked up the price for the transparency film
How do use tool to insert mana symbols and tap symbols? It won't let me
Can you use white glue instead of spray?
Might be to thick, also when it dries it could crack, I have not tried it tho. Always good to test.
I just want to make some sick ass lands and mask tokens for my shitty edh deck...THANKS!
really nice ! can you tell me where i can all the different images ?
yea you can type in mtg alter art on google. or something like this www.pinterest.com/pin/392235448783493502/
-Doc MTG
is that the starcraft 2 music?
Didnt work for me. The foil shine didnt pass through my paper(It is transperent but it didnt work idk why)
Bro this is sick! Send me a couple proxies 😂
Remember to do this in a well ventilated area!!! Acetone/Nail Polish Remover is not good for you!
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.
love this token :=)
what about proxy tokens? if I brought some down to my lgs and used them during fnm, do you think anything bad would happen?
Not at all.
People use dice as token proxies.
MAYBE at the highest level of play they would require real tokens.
Maybe.
how did you print white?
good question ill look into it but i think its because im using a photo printer
Sorry brother but i don't see your printer in the description :(
Yo bro what kind of printer you use and what’s the half transparent paper ?
Canon Pixma Mg2522 , look for transparency film that you can print on using ink jet
hey doc how do you get them printes in mirror when u export them from magic set editor?
You can use an image editor to flip the image like photoshop
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 :(
What was the resolution on the original image you put into the set editor?
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
How did you get the card to print the ink on the rough side and be mirrored?
Vidya Wannabe flipping the image in Photoshop
dark depths isn't banned in edh as far as i know.
AWESOME!
New follower!
im at work and i cant hear it. but they all look great
What kind of ink and what the sizing for normal cards
Ink jet printer will have sizing spec on the channel soon
Ola
Nao consigo deixar com qualidade boa
Na hora que imprime nao fica com a mesma qualidade do pc
Oque devo fazer
Nice!
WoW mabe you can make a 2. Tutorial just about the Programm 👍🏼🙂
any cheaper substitutes for the film?
Yeah, but its a different process. Which i'll be putting up a video in Jan. showing another method.
Bro that dbz spirit token might b the coolest thing ever but you should make a harley quinn zombie token nd then give it to me haha lol
got a link to artwork?
Doctor MTG would this work

Nd if thats not a good one i can find another
So can you tell me the actual size?
New here! Nice video!!!
6:25 - dude but you're not the artist. It's ArtGerm.
you are right friend, thats why i speak about not selling and not owning the right to arts. This is just an example of things you can do. Proxies are not for sale due to many copyright laws.
what about proxy lands? like basic lands?
I use Pokemon cards for decks that are mono colored.
very cool
Why can't I use laserjet
Does this work with non foil?
lovinmusic500 have not tested it on non foils, will test to see if the art comes off.
- Doc MTG
Nah it makes a mess, acetone will only work with foil as they have a thin "plastic" layer.
cooool
And why can't you play with them at an lgs?
Liam Sarett you can play with them at your LGS for fun. You just can't play with them in Sanctioned tournaments because those are official tournaments and the cards are not real.
-Doc MTG
homemade tokens made on magic cards in a big competicion is not ok?
Homemade Tokens can be used just not cards
thought i heard john cena, but couldn't see him.
Hey how did you get the overlays? I downloaded it and it had none, is that more steps or what do I need to do for the foiling effect?
uh, Dark Depths isn't banned in Commander.
Maybe it’s 1v1
magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/rules-and-formats/banned-restricted/magic-online-commander
Still no.
What is a proxy?

+4thDeadlySin correct! Very bad things will happen if you sell.
I’m poor but I pull out a dam 30 dollar rag...
So you can definitely see the fake look too it
👍
I just wanted to see this because I have little art pictures and I want to print them with foil. This was helpful. Check out jpeg_remix on Instagram
