This looks pretty cool, and is definitely useful! Do you have any examples of what the printed out cards look like? Perhaps in comparison to real cards

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AzIBAE7VPQMfqq-gVFTK... The red bordered cards are the ones I just printed, real cards are on the right. Also all are US sized, the real yugioh cards are slightly smaller than that. I tried to get a couple diff angles and card types. Like I said, totally good enough for my use cases!

Wow, they look great, the upscaling seems to have gone really well!

Wizards of the Coast is relatively litigious. I'd expect a Cease and Desist if you get any traction with this.

WOTC has a (surprisingly) good proxy policy: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/proxies-poli... TL;DR: Use them all you want for play testing but don't use them in events or for trading. Edit: They DO want a watermark for proxy cards, not sure they enforce that much since most proxy sites make it optional.

I mean... maybe?

It says

"A playtest card is most commonly a basic land with the name of a different card written on it with a marker. Playtest cards aren't trying to be reproductions of real Magic cards; they don't have official art and they wouldn't pass even as the real thing under the most cursory glance. Fans use playtest cards to test out new deck ideas before building out a deck for real and bringing it to a sanctioned tournament. And that's perfectly fine with us. Wizards of the Coast has no desire to police playtest cards made for personal, non-commercial use, even if that usage takes place in a store."

So they say that they have no desire to police them, but define them as not using original art and not passing for the real card even briefly. Those descriptions do not apply to high-resolution original art card images printed out.

For MTG fans, checking out https://mtgprint.net/ may be worth a shot too. No login required and same results.

I really like my search interface. If you want to play around with it, try account hn@example.com with password 'hackernews'

At the risk of repeating what others have said, your page requiring the user to create yet another account for something that has no business requiring an account is an immediate non-starter.

Your search function could have puppies and rainbows but it surely doesn't do anything worth creating an account for.

I saw the sign in screen and immediately closed. Limitlesstcg exists and can be used without an account.

Same. Making me create another account is an immediate non-starter.

Will Limitlesstcg let you print proxys? That's the main thing I'm doing here.
