Welcome to Canadian Proxy, where passion for Magic: The Gathering meets innovative solutions. With over 30 years of collective experience in playing this iconic card game, we understand the challenges that players face, especially when it comes to preserving the integrity of their precious card collections (too many cards were sacrificed to spilled drinks over the years).
Canadian Proxy was born out of a genuine need within the Canadian market for high-quality proxies. Recognizing the scarcity of reliable proxies and the exorbitant costs associated with purchasing cards internationally, our founders, seasoned Magic players, decided to embark on a mission to provide a better solution. Fueled by the desire to preserve original cards and make playtesting more accessible, Canadian Proxy emerged as a reliable source for top-notch proxies in Canada and the United States.
At Canadian Proxy, we are dedicated to enhancing your gaming experience with our premium proxy cards for Magic: The Gathering. As avid players ourselves, we understand the value of accessibility, creativity, and preservation. After all, why would you risk damaging the cards you own during test play? That’s why we offer a wide range of high-quality proxy cards that bring numerous benefits to the table:
At the heart of Canadian Proxy is a team of dedicated individuals with a deep passion for Magic: The Gathering. Our team boasts over three decades of experience in both playing and understanding the intricate dynamics of the game. This unique blend of expertise positions us as not just a proxy provider but as true enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances and complexities that make Magic an enduring and beloved game.
Far from the days where we used to write card names on lands, our strategy revolves around delivering proxies that mirror the quality of genuine Magic cards. We prioritize quality in every aspect – from accurate representation of card details to ensuring our proxies withstand the rigors of extensive playtesting. By focusing on excellence, we aim to redefine the playtesting experience, offering a reliable alternative that doesn’t compromise the essence of the game.
While vigorously opposed to counterfeits, the team found earlier on that using low-quality proxy cards for playtesting Magic: The Gathering (MTG) decks can present several drawbacks, negatively impacting the playtesting experience and the overall effectiveness of the testing process. Here are four reasons why using bad quality proxy cards is not ideal:
Misrepresentation of Card Information: Low-quality proxies may not accurately represent the original card’s information, such as card text, mana cost, or card type. This can lead to confusion and misunderstandings during gameplay, as players may misinterpret or forget important details about the cards they are testing.
Durability Issues: Low-quality proxies are often more prone to wear and tear, easily becoming damaged during shuffling, handling, or regular gameplay. This can result in cards becoming marked, bent, or otherwise compromised, affecting the integrity of the playtesting session and the reliability of the results.
Impaired Aesthetics and Enjoyment: Poor print quality and inaccurate color reproduction can diminish the overall aesthetic appeal of the cards. This can impact the enjoyment of playtesting, as players may find it less engaging to use cards that do not visually match the quality and appearance of authentic Magic cards. Aesthetics can also influence the overall experience and focus of the playtest.
Limited Testing of Card Feel: Magic: The Gathering players often emphasize the importance of “card feel,” referring to the tactile experience of handling and shuffling cards. Low-quality proxy cards may lack the same texture, thickness, and flexibility as authentic cards, preventing players from accurately assessing how the cards would behave in a real tournament setting. This limitation can be particularly relevant for competitive players who rely on the feel of their cards for optimal performance.
Canadian Proxy envisions a future where players can explore the vast world of Magic: The Gathering without hesitation or limitations. We strive to be the go-to source for premium proxies in Canada and the United States, fostering a community where players can enjoy the game to its fullest without the fear of damaging their cherished card collections.
Our mission is to provide Magic: The Gathering players with high-quality proxies that seamlessly integrate into their playtesting routines. We aim to bridge the gap between preserving original cards and exploring new strategies by offering proxies that are not just functional but also visually authentic. Through our commitment to excellence, we aspire to enhance the overall gaming experience for players across North America.
