WOTC has a (surprisingly) good proxy policy: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/proxies-poli...

TL;DR: Use them all you want for play testing but don't use them in events or for trading.

Edit: They DO want a watermark for proxy cards, not sure they enforce that much since most proxy sites make it optional.

I mean... maybe?

It says

"A playtest card is most commonly a basic land with the name of a different card written on it with a marker. Playtest cards aren't trying to be reproductions of real Magic cards; they don't have official art and they wouldn't pass even as the real thing under the most cursory glance. Fans use playtest cards to test out new deck ideas before building out a deck for real and bringing it to a sanctioned tournament. And that's perfectly fine with us. Wizards of the Coast has no desire to police playtest cards made for personal, non-commercial use, even if that usage takes place in a store."

So they say that they have no desire to police them, but define them as not using original art and not passing for the real card even briefly. Those descriptions do not apply to high-resolution original art card images printed out.
