Results:

The custom cards are not perfect. Their borders are a little off and sometimes kinda uneven. The resolution is lower than real cards, and is kinda noticeable on cards with lots of text in the box.

 

1

Make your set in Magic Set Editor, and export the images to a folder.

 

2

Go to http://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/playing-cards/multi-purpose-cards-rectangle-394

Click create it, upload the folder of cards you made as well as the MTG card back (optional if you're using sleeves.)

In each set of 54 upload the card fronts and backs.

 

3

With the default resolution, portions of the card inside the black frame will be cut off. For each card face, click on it and zoom out. (I zoomed 5 times, but in hindsight 4 times may give an overall more realistic print.) This was actually my issue with several other Chinese print on demand services. Their software had a minimum resolution so that the images generated in MSE would never fit without tons of white space around the edges.

 

4

Save and preview the project. Don't worry if the preview looks like pic related, the fronts and the backs will still be in their proper place (or at least they were in my order).

Bam. Pay and you're done. Wait two weeks, and they'll show up in a pretty little card box.

 

I'll answer any questions posted about the process for a bit if you want to know anything.
