Everything you need to know about our S33 German black core cardstock, 600ppi Non-Foil and Collector Foil finishes, Commander/EDH playtest rules, USPS shipping, and the ManaForge MTG iOS app.
What cardstock and print specs does ManaForge Proxies use?
Every ManaForge proxy card is printed at 600ppi full-color resolution on premium S33 German black core cardstock (330gsm) at standard Magic: The Gathering dimensions (63 x 88 mm / 2.5 x 3.5 inches). Our S33 black core stock matches the thickness, snap, shuffle feel, and light-blocking opacity of official TCG cards, fitting standard inner and outer deck sleeves seamlessly.
What is the difference between Non-Foil and Collector Foil finishes?
Non-Foil cards feature a smooth, low-glare satin finish ideal for double-sleeving and overhead webcam play (SpellTable). Collector Foil cards feature a vibrant holographic rainbow sheen across custom borderless and full-art frames while maintaining readability and resistance to severe curling.
Are ManaForge proxy cards legal in Commander (EDH) and casual play?
ManaForge cards are custom-art playtest and proxy cards designed for Commander (EDH / cEDH), cube, casual tabletop games, playtesting, and collector display binders. Most Commander pods and casual playgroups welcome high-quality readable proxies. They have distinct custom backs and copyright-free frames and are not intended for DCI/WPN-sanctioned tournament play or resale as counterfeit Wizards of the Coast cards.
How fast does ManaForge ship and how much does shipping cost?

US domestic shipping is $4.90 Economy (or $6.90 Standard under 1 lb), and FREE on all US orders of $100+ USD.
