Proxies: Any number of proxies are allowed, but must be legible and contain accurate/complete rules text. They cannot be misleading or cause any confusion due to how they are printed.

NSFW art is not allowed. If the judge is able to tell which cards are your proxies from the back of the sleeved card, that proxy will not be allowed.
