To serious gamers involved in Yu-Gi-Oh!, cards are for far more than just "playing." Missing a card can mean serious game consequences, but it can be hard to procure or pay for all the cards required or desired. In certain cases, players are allowed to use proxies, cards that work as stand-ins but are only for practice. You can stack your own Yu-Gi-Oh! deck by making proxies in Microsoft Word. With Word, you can customize the page size to the exact Yu-Gi-Oh! card size so your proxies will fit right in when you want to practice your battles and adventures.
