Pixelteca publishes articles, guides, comparisons and design resources for Magic players, collectors, artists and tabletop creators. Our editorial goal is simple: help readers understand custom MTG proxy art, card design, fantasy illustration, print-ready file thinking and creative tabletop life with less confusion and more confidence.
This editorial policy explains who creates Pixelteca content, how recommendations are made, how updates are handled and how we disclose partner relationships.
Who Writes Pixelteca Content
Pixelteca content is created by people who care about Magic, card design, fantasy art, printing, tabletop creativity and the details that make a card easier to read and more enjoyable to use.
Our articles may cover topics such as:
- custom MTG proxy art
- Commander deck themes
- fantasy card design
- custom tokens and basic lands
- print-ready design
- card readability
- tabletop accessories
- where to print or buy proxy cards
- artist tools and creative workflows
- MTG life and game-night ideas
Pixelteca is written from the perspective of MTG fans and design-minded creators, not as a neutral encyclopedia. When we give an opinion, we try to explain the reasoning behind it.
How We Choose Topics
Pixelteca topics are chosen based on usefulness to the reader and fit with the site’s focus.
A topic is usually a good fit if it helps a Magic player, proxy buyer, tabletop gamer, collector, fantasy artist or creator make a better decision about:
- card art
- custom design
- proxy printing
- deck themes
- tokens and lands
- tabletop accessories
- creative tools
- visual style
- file preparation
- game-night or collection setup
We avoid generic lifestyle content unless it connects clearly to MTG life, tabletop creativity or the visual culture around card games.
How Recommendations Are Made
Pixelteca may recommend design approaches, tools, printing resources, partner sites or service providers when they are relevant to the topic.
Recommendations may consider:
- design quality
- print quality
- readability
- ease of use
- pricing or value
- turnaround expectations
- product range
- customer experience
- fit for Commander players, collectors or creators
- whether the option solves the reader’s actual problem
We try to be clear about tradeoffs. A service that is best for high-quality custom cards may not be the best choice for large low-cost quantities. A design style that looks incredible on a full-art card may not be the best choice for a text-heavy card. Good recommendations should help the reader choose the right fit, not pretend every answer is universal.
Partner, Affiliate And Sponsored Relationships
Pixelteca may have affiliate, referral, ownership, sponsorship or partner relationships with some brands, websites or services mentioned on the site.
When a page includes a paid relationship, sponsored placement or affiliate-style recommendation, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly on the page.
A relationship with a brand does not mean every mention is paid. It also does not mean every recommendation is the same type of recommendation. Some pages may be editorial guides, some may be comparisons, some may include partner links and some may be purely informational.
When in doubt, readers should assume Pixelteca may earn money from some links or recommendations on the site.
Sponsored Content
Sponsored content must be clearly identified.
If Pixelteca publishes a sponsored article, paid placement or brand-supported guide, the page should disclose that relationship near the beginning of the content or in another visible place on the page.
Sponsored content should still be useful, accurate and relevant to Pixelteca’s audience. We do not want sponsored material that feels disconnected from MTG, card design, fantasy art, tabletop creativity or print-ready design.
Comparisons And Reviews
Pixelteca may publish reviews and comparison articles about proxy providers, printing services, design tools, accessories or related products.
Our comparison content should explain why a recommendation is being made. That may include:
- who the option is best for
- where the option is strong
- where another option may be better
- what tradeoffs readers should understand
- whether the recommendation is based on product fit, price, quality, convenience or another factor
We may prefer certain brands or partners when they are a better fit for the reader’s needs. We should still explain that preference in plain language.
Use Of AI-Assisted Tools
Pixelteca may use AI-assisted tools to help with brainstorming, outlining, editing, formatting, research organization or drafting support.
AI-assisted tools do not replace editorial judgment. Pixelteca content should be reviewed for accuracy, usefulness, tone and fit before publication.
For design-related topics, human review is especially important because card readability, print behavior, visual style and practical use can depend on context.
Updates And Corrections
Pixelteca articles may be updated when information changes, when a recommendation needs refinement or when a page can be made more useful.
We may update content for reasons such as:
- improved design guidance
- changed product availability
- changed partner information
- new examples
- clearer wording
- corrected mistakes
- better internal links
- better fit with Pixelteca’s current direction
If a page has a visible “Last Updated” date, that date should reflect a meaningful change, not a tiny formatting edit.
Accuracy And Reader Trust
Pixelteca aims to publish content that is practical, specific and easy to understand.
We do not want filler articles that repeat generic advice without helping the reader make a decision. Our best content should include real examples, clear tradeoffs, useful recommendations or practical design guidance.
If you notice a mistake, outdated recommendation or unclear disclosure, contact us so we can review it.
