TLDR Most casual Commander decks can handle 5 to 15 proxies without bothering anyone, as long as the cards fit the table’s power level and you are honest before the game starts. If you are building a test deck, a cube-style Commander night, or a budget version of an expensive idea, you can use more. […]
TLDR You can use MTG proxies at some local game stores, but only when the store and the players allow it. Do not assume proxies are fine just because the event is casual, Commander-focused, or held on a weeknight with snacks and folding chairs.

So let’s keep this practical. If your goal is routine home maintenance, not a full […]
What is the stack in magic the gathering? It is the game system that handles spells and many abilities after they are cast or triggered but before they resolve.
