Proxies

The reaction to the mox proxies Justin made was good, so I thought I would take a crack at making proxies for the other expensive cards we don't have: Ancestral Recall, Engineered Explosives, Forcefield, Library of Alexandria, Mana Drain, and Tarmogoyf. I tried a bunch of different art for each, and used either normal or extended art layouts, and what follows are the ones I liked the best. Let me know what your thoughts are!

  1. Let me start out by saying that these look fucking badass.

    Anyway, let me tell you the ones that I like best.

    EE: I like the first one

    Goyf: Epic

    Mana Drain: I like the fourth one

    Library: I like the last one

    Force Field: I like the first one

    Ancestral: I like the second one

    So let me get this straight, you are making proxies for us for all the money cards? AWESOME! Arent you glad that you didnt trade for the that other one, because all these look so much better.

  2. Wow. Just wow. Truly amazing. I really love all the full art ones.

    EE: I like the 1st picture, but I like the feel of the full art 2nd better.

    Mana Drain: 1st

    LoA: 3rd

    FF: I also like the 1st, but I think the 3rd better depicts the feeling of FF

    Ancestral: I like the pic on the 2nd, is there a way to get this to full art?

  4. these are ridiculously awesome...

    EE: i like the 1st pic cuz it seems to be more along the lines of what the card does...although i guess the rest of those droids in the back should be exploding as well

    mana drain: 1st one (same reasoning as ee, seems more like what the card does)...

    LoA: all are awesome so i guess a full art one

    FF: 1st one...seems more appropriate cuz the arrows are gonna get bounced while in the 2nd or 3rd art, it looks like the dude is throwing an hadouken...

    ancestral: pic 5 (full art of 2nd)...all the way...
