My STory
Proxy Work's genesis began when my son embarked on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in August 2025. While talking to him on the phone, I learned something that genuinely surprised me: a lot of missionaries play Magic. Apparently, board and card games are a go-to option for unwinding in the evenings.
He asked if I could send him one or two of his decks and when I looked at my options, I found myself hesitating to send him a Rakdos, demon-centric dark sacrifice deck. It just didn't feel right for a missionary.
I've been playing Magic: The Gathering with my family since the Rivals of Ixalan set, and from Day 1, I decided that precons are for other people. I developed a love for designing and fine-tuning my decks to deliver unexpected wincons (I'm especially proud of my Kenrith deck's ability to mill the entire table on the stack.)
Yeah... I'm one of those players...
I sent the deck, but I also decided to make him something. A deck suitable for a missionary. Something themed around the Book of Mormon that my son could be proud to sit down with at a card table in the middle of anywhere. Over the following months, I researched, designed, balanced, and created all-original artwork for what became the War Chapter Nephites deck, led by Moroni, Defender of Liberty as commander.
I didn't plan to sell it. It was a gift.
Then people started asking if they could buy one. And I thought, why not? The Book of Mormon is full of stories that deserve to be revisited and experienced through a variety of methods—some more scholarly than others. This felt like a genuinely fun and original way to bring these elements of the Book of Mormon to life.
That's what Proxy Work is about.
Our Mission
