Heroes seem to be the non-core cards that I gravitate towards the most (well, eagles). Frodo and Boromir immediately spring to mind.

You know, richsabre, another way you can proxy is just to choose cards you aren't playing with in your deck, and call them the card you want to proxy. For example, if you have no hobbits in your deck, throw in two Fast Hitch and one Unexpected Courage, then treat the Fast Hitches like UC. I haven't done this yet, but I've thought about it. Maybe I have an overactive conscience, but playing with proxies feels like stealing to me.

I believe that if you already own a copy of the cards, proxies are acceptable. I would't really want to buy additional core sets just to get 1 or 2 more of just a few more cards. I don't need the extra encounter decks that it comes with, so that would be a tremendous waste. If there was a way to buy just the core set cards from the hero deck, that would be a reasonable option. The adventure packs already come with 3x of each card, so there isn't an immediate need to buy more unless I am too lazy to keep track of those cards in multiple decks.

thanks for the ideas, though i was just curious how this is done- i have no intention to proxy- im far too OCD
