Here is why pro-grade printing is necessary: Durability: 80% of home-printed proxies degrade within 10 games due to ink drag
For those that have blotted out my post from the weekend (Mana Screwed II) I wrote the following about a mono blue mill deck I played a friendly game against
Sadly, shes not a blocker like Eustass Kid, but at 4,000 power, she can be used as an attacker, should the need arise
Blue in particular has some great defensive cards to help buy time while you ramp: Midnight Mangler, Caelorna, Coral Tyrant, and Howlers Heavy (which I draft primarily as a combat trick)
A Indatha Triome proxy lets you run this powerful staple across every deck you own without paying secondary market prices
Decks with Magnezone and Meowscarada are top counters, outperforming Giratina and Darkrai
