Support the app with a one-time tip to unlock unlimited rips. RIP PACKS FROM EVERY ERA 170+ sets bundled offline, organized by plane, format, and era. Standard, the long-running horizons line, current premier sets, the comedy sets, the original 30-year-old releases - all of it. Pick a set, tear open a pack, see what you pull. ACCURATE BOOSTER COMPOSITION Booster sheet data derived from publicly available sources. Each set uses its own slot structure and rarity weights - modern Play Booster shape with the real 1-in-7 mythic rate, set-specific foil rates, era-accurate slot counts. THE RIP IS EVERYTHING Swipe to tear the foil wrapper. Tap to reveal your cards one at a time. Commons flip fast. Rares pause, glow, and hit harder. Mythic pulls get a cinematic entrance - screen darkens, particles burst, shimmer sweeps across the card. Every pull feels different. FOIL CARDS GET THE SPOTLIGHT Foil pulls are visually distinct everywhere - a gold "FOIL" badge appears on the reveal, in the pack summary, across your collection, and on the card inspect view. Filter your collection to show only the cards you own foil copies of. A METAL-SHADER FOIL SYSTEM Foil cards shimmer with a real-time treatment that responds to motion. In Settings → Card Motion, choose Gyro (foil moves with your phone), Idle (gentle automatic sweep), or None. Tap and hold any card in the inspect view to tilt it manually in 3D. Honors iOS Reduce Motion. TRACK YOUR COLLECTION Every card you've pulled across every set. Grid view, binder view, list view. Sort by rarity, date, set, or value.

ChaosSort is a collection manager for Magic: The Gathering built around one idea: your cards don't have to stay sorted. Add a card, drop it into any bin — a shelf box, a binder, a drawer you label A-01 or BOX-03 — and ChaosSort remembers exactly where every copy lives. No more re-alphabetizing. No more digging through boxes wondering if you already own a card. ADD CARDS YOUR WAY Add cards by name, paste a whole list at once, or bulk-import from TCGplayer and ManaBox CSVs. Pull entire sets from Scryfall to track your progress. FIND ANY CARD INSTANTLY Search by name, set, or bin. See at a glance where each copy is — sitting on a shelf or checked out in a deck. TRACK DECKS AND CHECKOUTS Build decks, check cards out to them, and check them back into any bin when you're done. Every move is recorded, so you always have the full history of where a card has been. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your collection lives on your device. No backend, no cloud lock-in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scrybin at none against MTGRip's 3. Scrybin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). MTGRip's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
