Normally people use proxies for testing or playing when they do not have, cannot/will not obtain the real thing.
Edit:
This happens quite a bit with CCG's given the expense of buying cards. Many times players either cannot afford the card they want or prefer to test and see if the purchase would be worth it.

Thats the crux of it though. This isn't a CCG, the rules allow for proxies, thus it should be allowed in tourneys and OP, shouldn't it?
One isn't "cheating", by adding proxies to a game like this, as it has the mechanic of building a deck. Also there is no random factor that one would find in a CCG, so you don't need to worry about a person "finding" a card because it feels different.
So then by the same extension if someone were to show up with a completely home made copy that would be ok too? I know that's an extreme of using proxies, but either it's all or none IMHO.
I'd certainly like to hear other opinions.
