I think it's pretty clear that judging how Dominion cards play without actually playing them can be inaccurate. However, I don't have any good methods for playtesting cards.

I can't make very good proxies because I don't have that much good cardstock. Can't use isotropic, because it doesn't support custom cards. And using general CCG software works, but is pretty annoying to set up and play with because you're forced to do all the rule enforcing yourself.

The point being, is there a nice way to playtest cards I haven't seen yet?

Write down what the card does on a piece of paper.  Use the blank cards that come with the game as proxies for the real thing.  My brother and I do this a lot.

If you sleeve your Dominion cards, you can put sheets of paper in the sleeve along with a regular Dominion card, so it looks right from the back.  I don't use sleeves, but I've heard of this done.

If you can't rope anyone else into trying out a custom card with you, play a solitaire game or play two or more hands on your own.
