Announcing Support for Star Wars LCG on Proxy Nexus!
Hey all! I've been working on a card proxying website called Proxy Nexus, (https://proxynexus.net), and thanks to contributions from u/mcwookie, I'd like to announce that it now supports Star Wars LCG!
If you're unfamiliar with the project, it's a tool that given a list of card names or selecting a retail set, it generates print-and-play PDFs or pre-formatted image files, with a bleed border, for MakePlayingCards.com.
Standout Features:
- Double sided PDF prints. These include the game’s card backs on every even page. The even pages are mirrored length wise so that the cards line up on the reverse side of each page.
- Bleeds on PDFs. Adds a small bleed (up to 1mm) around each image. Depending whether the source image already has a bleed or not, it either adjusts how much is cropped, or uses the same bleed generation process for MPC zips. I say “up to” 1mm, so that it uses the available space without reducing the size of the cards or the number of cards on each page. For letter size, the bleed is about 0.5mm, while A4 gets the full 1mm.
- Support the MPC-Autofill. When enabled, the generated MPC zip file contains an order.xml, for use with the MPC-Autofill Desktop Tool. This automates the setup of your MPC order, including setting up back-side card images.
- AI Up-scaling. If your device has some kind of graphics hardware, it can be used to apply up-scaling to improve the quality of the images. The process is quite demanding, so expect it to take more time, but it can vastly improve the sharpness of text and clarity of artwork.
- Card variant selection. If there a multiple versions of the same card, it'll have a blue frame in the previous. Click it to bring up the variant selector, to choose another version of it, like a promo or alt-alt.
- Want to save or send the current card selection? Click "Copy Link" near the top right. Visiting this link will pre-fill all the cards in the card list.
- Custom page sizes. In addition to the standard letter and A4 page size, you can also specify a custom page size.
Please review the results for correctness! and let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks for having a look, all feedback is welcome!
