    I had this whole process down before I found this video minus the printing onto already foiled paper( I thought about it but was skeptical if it would work) but I couldn’t figure out why my ink was smudging and scraping off super easily even after 48 hours of dry time. The print settings in this video just changed my life thank you. Simply switching your print paper negates every problem I had

      @Kyle Sullivan th-cam.com/video/f8uZnCub_RU/w-d-xo.html he has the links in his description that I use. He also shows his process start to finish. I just used the second template he has and erased the border to make borderless cards and the first template is really good for full art cards.

    Excellent video, this is a great way to start making foil proxies without needing to invest too much time or money into materials. The only downside is the overall glossy nature of holo sticker paper, which can make the cards look "plastic". One solution I've found is to use a VERY SMALL amount of Krylon clear matte finish, which not only protects the ink layer but helps reduce the glossy shine without sacrificing the shimmer of the foil layer.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure magic cards have a corner radius of 3mm where your corner cutter has 4mm listed on it. That would be why they don't line up. Instead of cutting both you can just get a corner cutter that does 3mm corners. No hate tho other than that great vid!

    The problem is, that the foiled proxy from you, has another thickness as the other cards in the deck. You will feel that during shuffle or drawing, and thats not ok in my opinion. Its the same when someone is only double sleeving the expensive cards in the deck.

    • @numbbane
      @numbbane 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      It's minimal at best like really you would need to pull out the scale to see which ones weight a very very very small amount more. I'm not saying you're wrong because you aren't but I am saying is for a casual kitchen table event if they are going through that much to cheat you, they would just cheat in other ways.... And since they aren't allowed in tournament well nuff said

      I know what you're trying to say, I want this to use it for foil tokens. Not every token is printed in a new frame and artwork. So this is the perfect way for it. And it is completely legal and tournament friendly. But you have to name the artist and rights of WoTC. Also you have to make it understandable for your opponent. I think this is a nice way and very creative. Also a bit personal thing you can add to your deck without making any trouble. It's a bit the same for designing deckboxes and playmats
