Pixelteca focuses on custom art, card design concepts, tabletop creativity and educational design resources for Magic players, collectors, artists and casual playgroups.
Our work is centered on personal expression: custom MTG proxy art, Commander deck themes, tokens, basic lands, fantasy card layouts, print-ready design thinking and creative tabletop accessories. This MTG proxy use policy explains the kinds of projects Pixelteca is built for, what we do not support and how to contact us with questions.
What Pixelteca Is For
Pixelteca is for players and creators who want custom card designs that feel personal, readable and thoughtful.
Our designs and resources are intended for uses such as:
- personal custom card art
- casual tabletop play
- Commander deck themes
- custom tokens and basic lands
- cube and playtest projects
- display pieces and collection concepts
- fantasy card design practice
- gifts for Magic players
- design inspiration for artists and tabletop creators
We care about the creative side of Magic: art direction, layout, typography, card frames, visual style, readability and the way a deck feels when everything works together.
What Pixelteca Is Not
Pixelteca is not an official Magic: The Gathering product source. We are not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro.
Pixelteca does not create designs for the purpose of misleading buyers, sellers, collectors, judges, event staff or other players. We do not support projects intended to be represented as official cards or used in a way that creates confusion about what a card is.
Our goal is custom art and personal tabletop creativity, not deception.
Personal, Casual And Creative Use
Pixelteca content and design work is intended for personal, creative, casual, display, collection or playtest-style use.
That includes projects like:
- making a Commander deck feel more visually cohesive
- creating custom tokens for a favorite deck
- designing basic lands that match a deck theme
- exploring alternate art directions for a card
- building a proxy cube for a playgroup
- making a gift for a Magic player
- creating visual references for a fantasy card project
Different stores, playgroups and events may have their own rules or expectations. Before using custom cards outside your own casual setting, check with the people organizing or participating in that space.
Respect For Artists And Intellectual Property
Pixelteca is built around art and design, so we take creative ownership seriously.
Please do not submit artwork, logos, characters, photos or other materials unless you have the right to use them for the project you are requesting. If a project involves outside references, we may ask clarifying questions or suggest a more original design direction.
We may decline projects that appear to misuse another artist’s work, impersonate an official product or create unnecessary confusion.
Projects We May Decline
Pixelteca may decline or redirect a request if it appears to involve:
- misrepresenting a custom design as an official card
- copying another artist’s work without permission
- creating confusion in sales, trades or collection settings
- removing important card clarity or identifying information
- using names, logos or branding in a misleading way
- requests that do not fit Pixelteca’s focus on art, design and tabletop creativity
When possible, we will suggest a cleaner creative direction that still captures the idea without creating those issues.
Our Design Standards
A custom MTG proxy design should still work as a card.
That means we care about:
- readable names and type lines
- clear rules text
- visible mana costs or relevant card information
- balanced composition
- enough contrast for actual card size
- art that supports the card instead of fighting it
- a visual style that fits the deck or theme
Good proxy design is not just about making something dramatic. It is about making something personal, clear and usable.
