I'm getting back into MtG - Really I never left, but all my friends who played have moved + I lost all my good decks in a move myself. Now some of my other friends have started playing, and though I hate universes beyond, I enjoy the game.

I don't want to spend a bajillion on cards however, but I also don't want to play with paper cutouts or proxies. It's silly, but I like the cardboard for some reason. And I'd really like to regain some of my old decks, which were from Return to Ravnica/Original Innistraad era.

So I'm looking for a good printshop that prints good-looking Magic cards. I hear some shops in China have gotten better than WOTC at printing.
I'm in the EU.

Anyway, I'd love to get some recommendations. Please help me out.

also like to change the backs of the cards to ensure everyone (including myself) knows they're fake, so that I don't accidentally trade them and scam someone

I've been getting proxies from AliExpress that are so high quality they're damn near indistinguishable. Holograms, backs, and everything. Giving them away as gifts, I have to constantly remind the person I've given them to that they're not real and not to get them mixed up. doggirl-sweat
