Won’t stay open.
This thing crashes every five minutes. I can look at about 4-5 cards and then it crashes. Sometimes it saves my decks and sometimes it doesn’t. Needs some major work. Could be a great app if the crashing problem is fixed.
Awesome
I use this for all of my decks and deck ideas. Only problem is that all m21 cards do not show art.
Unclear
You have to dig in the settings to download newer sets which is a bit annoying. Everything seems to be in order though.
Pretty good but missing cards
Let’s get the pros out of the way.
First off I want to mention the great filters you can have when searching for cards. You can get down to the exact printing that you’re looking for and that is pretty amazing. This has a pretty wide database of cards. You can also put in your collection of cards to keep track of what you have and don’t have. Highly recommend upgrading to pro too to get access to the extra features. They give you more depth on the stats on the deck that you simulate. Not to mention that you get access to unlimited decks to create, the win rate of your deck, mana curve, and the ability to reset the stats of your deck. Speaking of simulation, there’s also ways to test out the mulligan that you would get, turn order, cards that you play, etc. this is a good way of testing what your deck needs and what it can do without to see what you can put in it to upgrade your deck.
Now for the cons.
I noticed that this data base does not have any cards from the kaldheim commander pre-constructed sets but it has every other card in the data base even from other pre-constructed decks that have come before and after kaldheim specifically. I know it’s a small pool of cards that are missing but that is enough to bump down the score a star. Another big con is there’s no way of labeling or formatting a deck to it’s respective format. For example, I tried to make a commander deck using this app and I found there was no way of utilizing the command zone at all for your chosen commander. To make due with what I got I put it in the side board. It may be one of the many formats for magic the gathering to make decks for but this also happens to be the most popular way to play magic currently at the time of writing this review for this app. It’s a shame too because this is also enough to bring it down another star.
Despite my pros and cons of this review I still think this is a solid app to use for what it was made to do and it has a lot of potential to do more and become a fine addition to anyone’s app selection for those that want to optimize and test their decks.

Incredible Deck Builder
Extensive organization of cards, inclusion of all versions, even if promos don’t show art. Just wish there was a Command Zone just like a sideboard.
DO NOT USE The database not being updated
DO NOT USE THIS APP Zendikar Rising is the latest set in the database. Pretty upset that right after I bought the pro upgrade they stopped supporting the database. If they do not update it soon I will be requesting a refund.
M21 Images Not Loading
I use it for all my deck building. Has every card I could want and is pretty quick to updating the newest cards. Even has a play testing system that I constantly use that’s super helpful for testing consistency. The only negative is that promo cards don’t get their images loaded. For some reason M21 had all their cards marked “promo” and none of their pictures are downloaded. This can be really annoying for me when playtesting the cards because I can’t tell what I’ve drawn and have to manually look at the cards individually for that set. Please fix this when you can. It was a problem last set and was hoping it would be fixed when Double Masters was released. It is still a problem. I thank you reading this and really love the app. Your hard work is obvious and appreciated. Thanks for everything.

Missing cards in the database
Trying to add cards from standard and they don’t exist...Just paid $3.99 for pro and then find out the database isn’t up to date. Not happy about that at all. Will change review if fixed
App is great for managing decks
I think this app is really great and I use it al of the time. It’s one of the better ones I have used to keep track of all of my decks. The only problem I have had is recently. The updates have not worked for the past set or so, and doesn’t seem to do anything when I try and update to what is currently out. Maybe needs an update? Managing anything older than core 21 should work great

Best Mtg Deck builder app
I love this deck builder, but when update for M21 ready ?
Not very functional
Missing cards, can’t seem to get the app to do what it promises. Will use something else
Good but could be better
Great for playing and making decks, I think that the access to TCGplayer and Cardmarket is great. One not drawback but just heads up is that some words are misspelled like your is spelled yout. Overall great app would recommend to any Magic: the Gathering player.
Almost perfect...
This is the best app I’ve found out there and has the easiest feature to use when adding cards to my collections but, it could be better. The filters for searching are fantastic but there’s no categorization features for the cards in your collection. I would like a feature that would let me easily copy cards from one collection to another. I don’t like how I can’t see the option to pick the promo card without opening up the card. A few cards won’t display a picture which is more annoying than it is inconvenient. The interface is kind of plain and boring too but I’m just being picky. Add and fix a few things and this app will deserve a perfect score.

Bug problems, could be more intuitive
On the whole, this app does what it’s supposed to. I don’t think 500 cards is a decent limit for even casual players like myself. The purchase price wasn’t much, however, so ultimately not too big a hassle.
I do have a few bugs/user interface mishaps to report. The card importing feature is pretty picky about what the list of cards looks like. For someone importing from another app (which I used to scan my cards, something this app doesn’t do), it can get pretty frustrating to have to go through my list deleting punctuation.
There’s a bug that makes it impossible to tap on the three bars that lead to the list when something else has been tapped on in the menu. This is ridiculously annoying, as I have to restart the app to get from my decks to my collection every time.
User interface-wise, it could be a lot friendlier. I don’t like having to go to open the card screen to add a card to my deck; some sort of “select, add all” feature would be useful. I also would love to be able to filter the cards I have by color, cost, type, etc. to make finding cards for a new deck easier.
All in all, useful, but probably not the best thing on the market.

Very good app, has a little room to improve.
Very good app, as it is very useful for MtG. User friendly, but could have some minor features to make searching for cards easier. Great App and will continue to use and support.
The Best
I have tested every single MTG deck builder app available for iPhone and this one is hands down the best. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of a few possible tweaks that could make it even better.
1. In the diagrams section, please add card probabilities for each card up to turn 10. Most likely starting hand.
2. In the deck menu, when I select a particular deck, please send me straight to the deck list. Not to another menu. Add those menus to the bottom area.
3. In the deck list section, add the ability to swipe left or right to add and/or remove cards.
4. In the deck menu, Please add deck sorting by legacy, standard, pauper, etc.
Overall a great MTG app. Thank you!

Great app
This app is very good, the best I have seen for MTG. There is one feature that I would like to see in an update that I believe another app has, specifically, the ability to use the camera to scan the card to add it in. I have a huge selection of cards and this would greatly expedite my entry over typing.

Difficulty Searching
It can be hard to search for certain cards. The app doesn’t recognize symbols like + and / forcing you to sift through crap cards until you possibly find a card you are looking for.
The App Has Everything
This app is an all around collection and deck building tool for Magic: the Gathering. Whatever format you play, this is awesome. Your can create multiple lists for your collections. You can build multiple decks with different formats. You can even create multiple orders to keep track of your want/buy lists. If you get the pro version, you can have the total TCG Player pricing snap shot of your entire collection, decks or even orders. Pro version also allows you to track your decks win percentages and mana curve.
The two things I believe that separates this app from the others (I’ve tried quite a few of them) #1 You can access the entire cards database completely offline. #2 When searching cards, there a lot if available filter like CMC, sub-type, mana colors etc.
The only reason I gave this a 4-star is because of the server ping issue. When there’s a new set, I have to wait for the app to ping/respond before it updates. Sometimes, the new set has been out for a few days before I even see the cards on the app.
But don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself and download it. Its free.

Response from developer
Sorry for bug with ping, it will be fixed in next update.
Awesome app
10/10
Haven’t had any issues at all. Easy to use and many tools to make life easier. Just take the time to look through the app and I’m sure you’ll find a tool that’ll help you.
