My first two decks arrived today (White Aplii and Red Ambition) and I have to rethink how I'm going to make this game playable for English-only players. Here are my ideas with the pros and cons.

-My initial plan was to tape a printout of the name, type and rules text for the card to it and put them in sleeves. Upon seeing the actual cards they're pretty beautiful and I don't want to go ruining them with tape. Just to clarify as far as I'm concerened each of these cards has a monetary value of $0. I'm never going to be able to trade or sell so they might as well be toilet paper. It's just that they're pretty toilet paper and I don't want to ruin them with sticky tape. Pros: All card info in English right where it should be. Cons: Ruins the cards.

-I don't want to just proxy them all because then why the heck did I bother buying them? Also that'd be an insane amount of ink. Pros: Looks pretty Cons: I'm basically wasting over $100cad AND paying way more than that in paper and ink

-I could make a card frame to put in the sleeve which will still display (most of) the card art while still giving a solid skeleton for the card name, type and rules text. Pros: All card info in English right where it should be. Cons: Cutting squares out of what will eventually be 500+ cards does not sound fun.

-Try and fit the card name and card type on the printout with the card's rules text so it only takes up the lower portion of the card. Pros: Obstructs as little of the card as possible without ruining it with tape. Cons: Might be awkward for some people not looking to the top of the card for the name.

-Only let people who can read Japanese play: COMPLETELY defeats the point and makes me look like an arrogant jerk so no. The point is to grow (no pun intended) a Wixoss community in my city.
