It's only counterfeit if you try to sell a copy as an original. Buying these in the full knowledge that they aren't original cards and not reselling them is perfectly fine.

Even if you resell them it's fine as long as you don't try to resell it as the original.

Anyone know how I can tell the difference from these and the actual cards? I know they're ultra realistic proxies, but shouldn't there be a obvious difference between them without needing me to have the real and proxy side by side?

Proxys dont try to be counterfeits. Often they use different card backs, sometimes even with "proxy" and "not for sale" written on them.

What do the backs of the Proxy Kings' look like? I know some places use their own backsides so that they can't be passed as anything else.

I personally don’t like playing with proxies but in defense of them, if you already own a copy of the card and want to play it in multiple decks, then I think a proxy is ok instead of paying for multiple expensive originals or swapping your decks all the time. You can play test with proxies and decide if you want to get the real versions of the cards you want. And as long as you are not trying to pass them as originals, sell them as real cards, and your play group is ok with it, there’s nothing wrong.

F that if u wanna play with proxies/counterfeit cards just do it... Having to own a copy already is jut dumb IMO... Maybe Wotc should reprint the actual cards we need.

Pretty much. And there are people that try to sell these or trade them in a LGS , thats a major problem and for high value cards you can outright call the police on them. Any store that wants to keep up a reputation should not allow any counterfeits anywhere near their location and make sure people mark their proxy cards so its absolutely clear they are playtest cards (not having the Magic back is a big help, any "Proxy" with a magic card backside is questionable, as people will always play them in sleeves anyway).

It is unfortunate that people get scammed with these cards. I have a very large collection of nice looking proxies and have written proxy with a sharpie on the back of every single one of them. I only use them in my play group anyways.

Y because ur egos too big and u don't wanna play the game for skill... I have 8 top tier modern decks 5 r fully foiled... I chose to spend money on the cards... But if someone sits down and playing against me with a full on counterfeit/proxy deck y would I care I'm here to play magic not to show everyone how much money I have. Skill is skill no matter if u use "real" cards or proxies. As long as the cars is clear and looks like a card its all good.
