    This quote is just so powerful and it gets more powerful the more often I see it. It’s like the number one reason why it shouldn’t be frowned upon to play Magic the Gathering with proxies

        Wait so according to a quick online search, “proxies” in wh and mtg refer to nonofficial figures or cards, correct?

        So basically banning proxies is literally gate keeping some model behind large sum of money???

        Edit: just had a quick look on some prices on the figures, and you could buy a decent quality resin printer with the price of just couple sets and download the models online. Doesn’t make any fucking sense to pay a penny for an official model
