I've recently been told that the use of proxies (both printed and handwritten) during casual league play is banned as per the rules so I'm after clarification if this is the case or not.
As fair as I am aware this is not the case and custom is that they are permitted due the understanding that they are just placeholders for cards you have already or are in the process of getting hold of and are not fakes. I've been playing for about 10 years with this understanding and using them at various casual leagues for play testing including at the league prior to this where I have now been told they are against the rules.
Please could the rules team clarify if this is the case or not? I did find this thread from 2014 that stated the same understanding that I have but as I've been told this is a recent change a clarification of whether they are allowed or now not would be appreciated especially as I don't play PTCGO and would like to continue participating and playtesting at League using proxies as has previously been the case.
