As many of you may or may not be aware proxies of cards do exist. Whether its a really nice one made by an artist with custom artwork or its someone writing over a card with black sharpie. In my opinion I feel that allowing proxies or not depends on the situation. For example in my play group there are some guys that have much less of a card pool than most. I would be fine with them proxying a few cards so that they can be on the power level of everyone else. Than you have people who are just assholes. These are the type of people that will proxy up power nine and then, bitch when you tell them they cant play.
I feel as if proxying can be like most things only good in moderation. You should always check with the people that you play with before you play to see if they are okay with a proxy. Most people I've noticed don't mind for the most part. So long as your not proxying several thousands of dollars.
One last note is that there have been a lot of fake magic cards put into circulation as well. These cards look almost identical to the originals and are very hard to tell apart. Below is a link to a starcity article that better covers the subject.
