Proxy doesn't mean substituting for something you already own, it means something standing in place of or representing something else. In the case of mtg, people use proxy cards to stand in for cards that they don't want to spend hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of dollars on but want to play with casually
I've been to game stores that allowed proxy play as long as you had the original card. (For FnM)
They usually had the same rule for foreign language cards.
