Ratings and reviews

Excellent features /usability. One of my favorite deck builder apps despite poor aesthetics. Unfortunately, the card database is a couple sets out of date, and this seems to be a consistent problem over the past couple years based on reviews. Makes it kind of useless. Would give it 4.5/5 otherwise. I'd recommend you look at MTG Familiar (free - but no import function), Decked Builder ($4), or Top Decked (free - but cluttered interface).

I love how quick it is. 95% of the time I just want to double check the wording of a card I'm thinking of, the CMC, or maybe the art or prices and this is my go to card search because of its speed and simplicity. However it's consistently buggy with images, card prices, and set updates. I find that I never use the draft feature or the tracking features really. A 5 star app for me would be one that squashed a couple bugs and focused on the search UI a bit more.

I really enjoyed this app while it functioned. It had a deck builder as well as the ability to playtest 2 decks against each other which I haven't seen from many other apps. Draft sim was also great. Unfortunately since I got a new phone, I'm unable to create decks (it says "data not saved"). I have tried reinstalling to no avail. If this gets fixed I will change my rating. Also, a way to search through decks by name would be much better and faster than by card. Cube draft would be nice too.
