Just throwing it out there(as I tend to do)
Feel free to add any opinions, or any personal use of them.
I'm not really sure of my overall opinion on this. I've seen cheesy little munchkins build proxy decks out of cards they don't have. I've also seen it done tastefully.
I've done it myself in a few instances actually:
1. I tend to build a large quantity of decks. These decks tend to share limited numbers of certain staples, most often City of Brass for the 3+ color decks I'm always building. I put proxies for City of Brass in all of the decks, and carry the real ones separate to display when I play the proxies. I do this with a number of other cards I share between decks, like Night's Whisper, Flametongue Kavu, other non-basic land ect...
2. I've built decks on proxies to test how they work before I fork out the cash to buy the cards for them (I almost always buy, and almost never trade). I always announce this before a game.
3. I've made proxies of cards I've ordered on Ebay but haven't arrived yet. I get impatient sometimes. I usually bring a copy of the order.
