## What is MTGDB?

Every card. Instant results. No internet required.

MTGDB puts the entire Magic: The Gathering card database in your pocket — over 80,000 cards available instantly, even offline. No loading spinners, no waiting for servers. Just type and find.


SEARCH WITH POWER

Find any card in milliseconds with advanced filters: mana cost, color identity, type, rarity, power/toughness, format legality, keywords, and more. Toggle between exact match, "at least," and exclude modes to dial in exactly what you need.


BUILD YOUR COLLECTION

Track every card you own with quantity management. See your collection's total value at a glance. Organize with custom tags and view detailed stats — type distribution, mana curve, color breakdown, rarity splits, and format legality across your entire collection.


BREW DECKS

Build decks with a fast card search and quick-add workflow. Format-aware editing enforces legality as you build. Full Commander support — including partner and background pairings. Analyze your builds with mana curve histograms, color pip distribution, and card type breakdowns.


AI DECK BUILDER — NEW

Describe a deck in plain English and let AI brew it for you. Pick a commander or let the AI choose one that fits your vision. Works across Commander, Standard, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, and more. Every suggestion is legal, mana-balanced, and ready to tune — or save straight to your decks and start playing.


MANAGE WISHLISTS

Create multiple wishlists to plan your next purchases. Track total wishlist value and share lists with friends.


IMPORT & EXPORT

Paste decklists from MTG Arena, plain text, or CSV and import them in seconds. Export your collection or decks to share, back up, or move between platforms.


GAME TOOLS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

• Life Tracker: Multi-player life totals with damage and gain counters
• Dice Roller: d4 through d100, plus coin flips with history
• Round Timer: Tournament-ready countdown with haptic alerts
• Mana Pool: Track floating mana during complex turns
• Random Card: Discover something new


BROWSE EVERY SET

Explore the complete catalog of MTG sets — Core, Expansion, Masters, Commander, Draft Innovation, and more. Search by name, filter by type, and drill into any set to see every card.


COMPREHENSIVE CARD DETAILS

Full oracle text with rendered mana symbols. Format legalities across 22+ formats. Every printing and edition. Live rulings. Artist credits. TCGPlayer pricing with direct purchase links. Pinch-to-zoom high-res card images. Compare cards side by side. Tap-to-flip support for double-faced, split, adventure, and modal cards.


SEARCHABLE RULES

### 1/5 — UPDATE FASTER

*2024-03-31*

Need to keep up with adding cards from new sets that have been out. Tired of not being able to look cards up that have been out a few months and their not in the system yet when they had plenty of time to add them

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2022-10-08*

App is poorly designed with absolutely no way to contact customer support. With Apple’s rooster-sucking stick-bundle policies, this cannot even be reported directly through them either. Avoid this trash app. Also, avoid apple.

### 3/5 — Like rest not up to date.

*2020-12-31*

The fastest way that I reviewed this app was to set the cards to Standard and see what decks appeared. First card,,, not 2021 standard.

### 1/5 — unbrauchbar

*2020-11-13*

Die App schließt sich mit IOS 14.2 automatisch 2-3 Sekunden nach dem Start. Schade!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2020-08-11*

This app is great, I really like the presentation of the art. 
The only Problem is with planeswalkers you’ll have to load the full image to see their starting loyalty. 
Another great feature to browse a new set or a selection of cards would be being able to swipe to the next or previous card instead of having to go back to the selection. Easy fixes and I already think it’s great

Edit: the Card search really should be better.

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2020-07-29*

This app is pretty nice.  One thing that would be nice to see is that you currently cannot filter cards by “Color”, only “Mana Cost” which is a funky way to do it.  As it stands there is no way for ex. to search for all Standard colorless cards, which is annoying.
