One of my favorite channels on YouTube, Distraction Makers, discuss proxying cards in MtG.

Yes. Use a full-colour printer and make sure your cards are legible. Support your game store / play space by buying something from them every time you visit or even just donate a small amount to them if they don’t have a entry fee. No-one needs to be paying more than €1 for a piece of cardboard when a printer proxy is functionally identical. And I absolutely prefer proxies to foreign-language cards which some people buy because they’re cheaper than English. At least a proxy you can read and know what it does.

Yes I completely agree about the fakes issue. No reason IMO not to have a false card back on every proxy. We shouldn’t be in the business of duping people, and conversely no one should be forced to pay more than they’re able to for a card game piece.
What’s the objection at all? Why be even 1% against proxies? I see no objective reason to care at all, as long as you are playing with friends. Whoo should a corporation bottleneck your game?
It would be like saying you can’t play a DND class unless you own the sourcebook. It’s silly!
My LGS has a cEDH tournament this weekend where you’re allowed to have up to 10 proxies in your deck
