As per the DCI rules, you need the original, physical card.

check out Hothie's Orphans list on Wizards.com (might be a thread on here, can't remember)... He's been really helpful with cards.

Just one. This is covered in the DCI floor rules.

If I expand my reading of the floor rule if you have any customize minis you MUST have cards for all of them. This would mean you only need one card for seven Mouse Droids but if you add even one modified Mouse Droid you would then need a card for each. At least that is how I read the rule and unfortunately it makes a lot of sense otherwise I'd be very tempted to use "customized" Mouse Droids by removing one droid and putting in on another base.

Correct for DCI games.

But if you're playing at a local game store or home or wherever and it's not a DCI tournament, you can use house rules. In our league, for example, we'd allow people to use a copy. We also allow people to proxy in a figure for another that they can't find.

The best proxy we ever allowed is when a kid wanted to use a Gamorrean guard as a proxy for Vader.

This is correct to some degree. You must be able to produce the original pieces and an individual card for each piece if requested by the Judge. The point of customizing pieces is not to give players a way around the 'collectible' nature of the game. Creating extra Mouse Droids is essentially stealing business from the stores and distributors of the game, and essentially WOTC themselves, in the end.

However, talk it over with your local group, and I would guess that most LGS groups won't fuss about it. The alternative is always there to borrow a couple Mouse Droids from others in your group when you need them.

For Regional or Gencon level events though, I wouldn't expect custom Mouse Droids to be allowed.
