Bitter: place a full pics preview for the deck not only list.

[gaddlord]

Bitter: Add the option to add a pics when print (or export) a report or a deck

Anonymous: I vote yes!

Gad: The feature is available in Magic Workstation and The Vault.

Gad: How it should work, as I see it:

• a 'Print Deck' option in the 'Deck' menu
• you can only print a loaded deck (or choose a deck to print, whatever is easier)
• you've given the choice for paper type (usually A4 I guess)
• print or preview print

What the program does:

• sorts the cards and divides them between the pages (I guess perfection would be 3 rows and 3 columns for a total of 9 cards each page)
• automatically resize the card art for each card to have it printed the exact same size of a real card
• print the needed sheets of paper with the card art on it

This way I could build a deck, print it, cut the cards, put them in the plastic over a real card and play with friends wherever i want.

Option would be:

• select how many cards each page, define borders and space between cards
• option to exclude some cards (let's say I don't want to print lands because I already have them)

Gad: This feature is also known under the name Print Proxies. Planned but not available yet.

Anonymous: When I finish to create my deck from pool or collection, I wanna print it with images! Not only card titles..

[gaddlord]

Lamar: Yes, this can be done using other tools. You can also inventory your Magic collection with index cards, but it is time consuming and not useful. To me, this is the only glaring shortfall to the Studio.

Gad: Requested features are:

• Ability to "Print Proxies"(tournament illegal paper versions of the cards in your deck).
• You will be able which cards from the deck to print, whether to skip lands.
• Ability to choose the border of the printed card: no border, white borders, black borders, rounded borders

Speakender: You can already import the picture into a "photo-editing-app-f-your-choice". No need to complicate this program when I can already be done with paint, windows photo gallery, gimp, photoshop....

bugi96: Lots of people like to use proxy decks for playing and testing. Do you think you could add this feature in new version, and that the printed cards are the same size as the original cards with black/white borders (depending on edition). Thank you

Anvil: It would be awesome if MTG Studio could print proxies. I don't know if it was mentioned elsewhere (apologies if so), but I wouldn't want to play with my Sarkhan Vol from Conflux. I'd make a proxy and keep the paper card in it's hard case. Legally, in tournaments (unless the rule changed), I can play a printed proxy in place of a card as long as I have the actual physical card with me. Magic Workstation was able to do this, and MTG Studio would benefit from being able to do it as well.

Also consider magicprint.net. They seem to have pretty decent feautres.

xaviert0: I have an idea on this feature that would make it better than others... as you send a set of cards to print allow it to automatically find the tokens that are required so that those can be printed also I also wanted to point out that double faced cards need to be handled for the print feature to be useful .. when a double faced card is selected two cards are printed (you can see that on mtgprint) .. that is currently a gap in MTG Studio
