This is what I was going to say. And really, it will be by necessity.
Magic has a format called "Vintage" and it is within this format the infamous Black Lotus and other power cards are allowed. The 9 cards combine to form a Voltron costing between $5,000-$10,000. If it weren't for proxies, this format would have died long ago. And this is in a game that is still being manufactured.
Ultimately, it will be the Tournament Director that has to decide whether he wants people to show up to his tournament. Does he want the same 4 people showing up every time (by disallowing proxies) or does he want a larger, more casual event?
