Proxies, Altered & Foreign Cards

  • Proxies, Altered & Foreign Cards are allowed as long as they are indistinguishable from other cards – this means not marked or could be picked out from the deck due to thickness or transparency of the card back.

  • Proxies must be in color (no black and white). For proxies, using the Limitless Proxy Printing Tool is strongly encouraged!

  • For custom/altered art cards, only one custom full art proxy is allowed per deck.

  • If using Foreign or World Championship cards, we recommend using opaque sleeves to ensure the card backs are indistinguishable.

  • Re-writing a card proxy onto a different card is not allowed and will result in a match loss

Rules

  • Do not advertise this to the Baltimore staff and keep your presence quiet and unintrusive.

  • Please, no cheating – it’s lame and will not be tolerated. We’re here to enjoy the game we love. You cheat, break the rules, angle shoot, etc., you’re outta here!

  • If a judge is needed during a match, please attempt to resolve it yourselves first. Espio or another designated TO can help adjudicate bad scenarios.

  • Please, be kind to each other! We understand competition can lead to frustration but let’s not take it out on each other. Aggressive and hostile behavior, bullying, discrimination, etc., during events will not be tolerated

  • Please remember judges have sole discretion over decision making and all judge decisions are final.

  • Match results are to be reported in Limitless.
