Make simple widgets to display artworks from the many thousands of Magic: The Gathering cards to add a little bit of color to your home screen. Crack A Card uses Scryfall's random card generator to add a little bit of magic to your home screen. But, if you don't wan't to pull from every era of Magic, you can limit yourself to a specific set, group of sets or format. If you want, you can explore the wide world of Magic cards simply within the app through the random generator. And don't forget to mark your favorites so you can come back to them later! Additionally, you can create unique widgets, separate from the settings of the main app for many different widgets on your Home Screen, each with a different filter.
