Discussion Custom fan cards

I really want to make some custom cards but I also
Don’t want to sleeve every card I have because of the backs being different. I’m wondering if anyone’s tried to make custom stickers instead to stick on a real deck. If anyone has please let me know what sight you used. Thanks

I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but its unlikely to work well. Your cards will be different thicknesses, and may also cause shuffling problems. For sleeves, you don't have to sleeve every card you own, just the cards in the deck you are using. It only takes a few min

When sleeving decks can you still fit them back in your EK box or do you have to unsleeve them everytime?

I don't know if I've ever tried, but I don't think sleeved decks will fit in original boxes. I have my decks in other boxes

If you’re only talking about the box (no cardboard junk or card sliders,) they can fit inside any of the boxes. If you fit multiple decks, they might slide into each other and mix each other up, but it’s no big deal.

Also I play with 10 people roughly and all expansions included so that’s why I’m trying to avoid the hassle of sleeves

It get you, thats a lot of sleeves. I still think this will be a waste of money trying to do it your way! But if you try, let us know how it turns out.

Idk why you say sleeves are a hassle, you do it once then never think abiut it again.

Whats more of a hassle IMO is your cards accumulating wear and tear and becoming distinguishable, due to the lack of sleeves. I would use em even without using custom cards

I mean I've used sticky notes in mtg to proxy cards, I don't think the cut would be exactly the same but mythic black core, lets you upload whatever you want printed on the back so you could have them match.

It's for mtg proxies but you can upload whatever you want.

This might be the new strat

I’m thinking so to. I feel like a sticker of these custom cards would workout much better without the risk of cards coming back very different
