Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoxDraft at none against MTG Guide's 2. MoxDraft also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). MTG Guide's advantage is ratings volume (722 vs 7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
