Proxy card

A proxy card in the realm of collectible card games (CCGs) serves as a substitute for a physical collectible card, allowing players to engage in gameplay without owning the original card. This practice is particularly common in situations where acquiring the desired card is impractical due to cost constraints or the need for extensive playtesting.

Purpose

Proxy cards are utilized by CCG players for various purposes, primarily for playtesting or training for competitive tournaments. In scenarios where players are experimenting with different deck compositions or strategies, it may not be feasible to obtain all the necessary cards. Proxy cards offer a practical solution, allowing players to simulate gameplay with substitutes while determining the optimal card combinations for their decks.
