The things people actually ask. If yours isn't here, send a message — a real person reads them.
- What exactly is a proxy card?
- A proxy is a custom-made stand-in for a card — same size, same feel, original art. Cozy Cove proxies are printed, laminated, trimmed and corner-rounded by hand at standard 2.5" × 3.5", so they shuffle and sleeve like anything else in your deck.
- Can I play with these?
- At your kitchen table, in your Commander pod, and anywhere else the group is happy with them — yes, that's what they're for. They are not tournament legal and aren't sold as real cards: no sanctioned event will accept a proxy, and these aren't counterfeits of anything. They're custom art on cardstock, meant for casual play and for collecting.
- How is foil different from non-foil?
- Foil prints onto holo vinyl mounted on cardstock, which gives it real shine and weight. Being straight about it: the holo surface can render fine text slightly softer than the non-foil version does. If crisp rules text matters more to you than shine, go non-foil — that's not us talking you out of a sale, it's the honest trade-off.
- How long does an order take to arrive?
- Every set is made to order by hand, so processing time depends on what's in it. The current processing and shipping estimates are shown on each Etsy listing — that's the copy that stays up to date, so it's the one to trust.
- What if something arrives damaged or wrong?
- Message the shop on Etsy with a photo and it gets sorted out. Orders placed through Etsy are covered by Etsy's own purchase protection and the shop's return policy, both listed on the shop page.
- Can you make something custom?
- Yes — a single card, a themed set, or a whole Commander bundle. Send a message on Etsy with the idea and any reference art you have, and let's make something awesome.
- Can I order from this site instead of Etsy?
- Not yet. Checkout here is still being built, so every order goes through Etsy for now — same cards, same prices, and your purchase is covered by Etsy's protection while we're at it. Browse the shop and each product links straight to its Etsy listing.
