Anthony Dennis
Editor, MTG Proxy Reviews
Anthony Dennis is a longtime journalist and editor specializing in games. His experience includes coverage of video games, board games, trading card games, and the broader culture surrounding them.
As editor of MTG Proxy Reviews, Anthony helps ensure that every review, comparison, and technical guide is clear, useful, and appropriately supported. He oversees editorial standards, evaluates the reasoning behind recommendations, and helps distinguish measurable product qualities from personal preferences and unverified claims.
Experience in Games Journalism
Anthony has spent much of his editorial career working with subjects that require both enthusiasm and critical judgment.
Games journalism often sits at the intersection of technical detail, consumer advice, design criticism, and community culture. A useful review must explain more than whether a product is simply “good” or “bad.” It should identify who the product is for, what it does well, where it falls short, and whether the experience justifies its cost.
Anthony brings that same approach to MTG proxy card reviews.
His areas of experience include:
- Video games
- Board games
- Trading card games
- Product reviews and comparisons
- Editorial planning
- Research-based guides
- Consumer-focused games coverage
His Role at MTG Proxy Reviews
Anthony oversees the editorial quality of content published on MTGProxyReviews.com.
That includes reviewing articles for:
- Factual accuracy
- Clear distinctions between evidence and opinion
- Fair treatment of companies and products
- Consistent scoring and evaluation standards
- Appropriate disclosure of limitations
- Useful recommendations for different types of buyers
- Clear explanations of printing and card-production terminology
Not every proxy buyer is looking for the same thing. Someone printing a complete Commander deck may care most about value and ordering convenience. A collector replacing a few expensive cards may place more weight on print clarity, card construction, and cutting consistency.
Our editorial process is designed to account for those differences rather than forcing every company into a single simplistic ranking.
How We Evaluate MTG Proxy Services
MTG Proxy Reviews considers several parts of the ordering and ownership experience.
Depending on the product and the available evidence, an evaluation may examine:
- Print clarity and fine text
- Color accuracy and consistency
- Card construction and thickness
- Cutting and centering
- Surface feel and finish
- Sleeve fit
- Ordering tools and file requirements
- Customer service
- Pricing and delivered value
- Shipping, packaging, and order accuracy
We also identify the basis of a review whenever possible. This may include hands-on inspection, measurements, ordering experience, company documentation, customer reports, or a combination of sources.
When there is not enough evidence to reach a fair conclusion, the article should say so.
Editorial Principles
Anthony’s editorial approach is based on a few straightforward principles.
Evidence Comes Before Reputation
A company should not receive a positive or negative assessment based only on its popularity, marketing, or reputation within online communities.
Where possible, recommendations should be supported by physical observations, documented policies, pricing, test orders, photographs, measurements, or clearly identified sources.
Opinions Should Include Reasoning
Some elements of card quality are subjective. Surface feel, color preference, and the importance of exact visual matching can vary from one player to another.
When an article expresses an opinion, it should explain the observations and tradeoffs behind it.
Limitations Should Be Visible
A website-only evaluation is not the same as a hands-on product review. A small sample cannot establish the consistency of thousands of cards. An older product generation may not accurately represent current inventory.
These limitations should be stated rather than hidden behind an overly confident score.
Different Buyers Need Different Recommendations
The highest-quality option is not automatically the best value for every order.
Our recommendations consider the intended use, order size, budget, required customization, and amount of effort involved in preparing the order.
Commercial Relationships Should Be Disclosed
Readers should know when MTG Proxy Reviews has an ownership, management, affiliate, advertising, or other commercial relationship with a company discussed on the site.
Those relationships do not replace the published review criteria, but they are important context and should be disclosed clearly.
Corrections and Updates
Printing services, websites, pricing, inventory, and production methods can change.
Articles may be updated when:
- A company changes its products or policies
- New samples become available
- Pricing or ordering tools change
- Better evidence becomes available
- A factual error is identified
- A previous conclusion no longer reflects the current service
Meaningful corrections should be made directly and transparently. Updating an article is preferable to leaving outdated information in place simply because it once ranked well in search.
