Proxies for events at The Gathering must conform to one of the two categories below:
Paper Printouts: Black and white or color is acceptable. The printouts must be trimmed such that no portion of them extends beyond the sleeve. The printouts must be of the English version of the card. The printouts must slide over the actual card in the sleeve without it being obvious there is something in the sleeve with the card.
Proxy Cards: Cards must be of appropriate dimensions for a Magic: the Gathering card. The card must have the English name of the card on it* The card cannot be an actual MTG card with marker scrawled on it, because no one has good handwriting anymore**.
*The rk post P9 proxies have partial names,e.g. “Lotus”, “Recall”, “Walk”, “Ruby”, etc. If you and your opponent both understand what the card is, play on, otherwise call a judge.
**If need be, a judge can issue a marker-scrawled-on-card proxy.
Judges have final say on the appropriateness of a proxy.
