Proxy sheets

How to generate a print-ready PDF of proxies for playtesting a deck.

Pitchstack allows you to easily create a proxy sheet so you can test your deck before getting all of your missing cards. You can access this under More → Proxy sheet (PDF) on a deck page.

This sheet allows for the following customizations...

Choosing what goes on the sheet

By default, the sheet will populate with all cards you do not have in a Binder. You can change this selection to instead be the Entire deck, which covers the hero, equipment, deck, and sideboard. To fine tune either of these options, you can add additional cards or remove specific ones so you can hone in on exactly what you need.

Note: switching between the two options rebuilds the list from scratch, so do this before you start adjusting quantities rather than after.

Style

Proxies can be styled in two ways; Standard or Eco.

Standard prints the real card, artwork and all.

Eco generates a card image with the minimal detail needed to play. It will only have the name, stats, and rules text. These are organized in a way to read similar to a real card, and use far less ink.

Paper and cut guides

Paper is Letter or A4. It changes the page, not the cards, which stay 63 by 88 mm either way; card size is fixed.

Cut guides draws tick marks at the grid boundaries to cut along. Leaving them on is usually right.

Printing it

The preview on the right shows the real page, and you can page through it if the deck runs to more than one. Download PDF then builds the file, which takes a moment on a large sheet.

Whatever you print from, print at 100% (Actual size) and do not let the printer scale to fit. "Fit to page" shrinks everything slightly, which is invisible on screen but very obvious when the card will not sit properly in a sleeve.

Note: proxies are for playtesting. They are not tournament legal, and they are not a substitute for owning the card.
