(Unlike cubecon, as I learned. Wth, man.)

That's crazy!! What is the reasoning behind no proxies at an unsanctioned for fun event in which players don't keep the cards?

 

[MilesOfficial]

It's absurd to not allow clearly-marked-but-wholly-readable proxies at Cube events, but I guess I see such low-effort proxies at EDH tables around me that there's some logic to drawing the line at the easiest point. To be honest, trying to read low-res Magic cards is headache inducing during a game, but even so!

Yeah, I guess it kinda sucks to play with low effort proxies, but they should at least allow mpc quality.

"No proxies" feels really weird to me because you're going to have complete strangers drafting your cube, which is a process that involves directly (man)handling the cards. That just seems like a recipe for disaster.

I believe the "no proxies" rule at CubeCon is so that WotC employees are allowed to play, and they want to keep that relationship healthy.

 

[Chris Taylor]

I am amazed and disappointed that's necessary

 

[ravnic]

So, WotC Employees are legally not allowed to play with proxies?
