This is a great app for deck brewing and building, and I only have one complaint: when filtering cards, the Oracle text field only searches your input sequentially, meaning it searches for the EXACT string of text you entered. It does not show results that have those words in it, but in a different order. This is a NECESSITY when trying to find cards that fit a certain theme. Say I want to find creatures that have a combat damage triggered ability. The way the Oracle text field currently works, I can’t, because the text on all those cards would be “whenever [creature card name] deals combat damage, such and such happens”. I need to be able to type in “whenever deals combat damage” or “whenever combat damage” and the search needs to be able to find those words in the Oracle text in any order, not just the same order I typed them into the field. This single drawback is why I still do most of my final builds on tappedout instead of this app, which otherwise I like better than tappedout. Please consider adding this feature in a future update.

I lobe this app! The collections is neat and all the filter options are great. The deck tab is nice, breaking down mana costs and generation. Even provides recommendations to improve your deck and all the tokens your deck generates. Being able to import a whole deck list then add it to your collection is really great when buying new precons or starter kits. The options for pricing is very nice as well. Only 3 bad things are; 1: The scanner rarely works in ideal conditions and when it does work, it sometimes gets the set wrong if they have the same art. 2: The deck list doesn’t update automatically when you change the deck in your collections tab. 3: Having to pay for the membership, while not expensive, is not ideal. You can only have 5 Binders and Lists on the free one. Otherwise, I cannot recommend this app enough. I’ve actually gotten quite a few people to start using it at my LGS for quick pricing and compiling for trades, wants, selling, etc.

Summary: I got this app because a sibling recommended it out of the many various MTG helpers. So far it’s been quite good after a short learning period. Perhaps a more full review will occur after longer use, however this should help with at least poking a deck idea without actually committing cards in my collection to it yet.

Danger: The Integration with TCGPlayer and other shops is downright dangerous.

Issue: Deck Notes Editor Behaviour: The only real issue I’ve encountered so far is the Deck Notes editor, which doesn’t seem to behave like typical iOS/Mac text inputs when using a keyboard, especially when trying to use command-arrow navigation or even just up/down arrows. This is somewhat saddening because the input seems to be a CommonMark Markdown editor which makes the nerdy part of me (which is all of me, really) extremely happy.

Other Thoughts: Text Export/Import: I was somewhat surprised that the text export is just a raw list (deck/sideboard/maybeboard), though I’m not sure what I expected. Maybe a yaml file? The text export might be widely compatible with other deck management things, I don’t know, but I would not be surprised if that were the case. Format compatibility like that does make me happy, though, and is a reason to recommend this app.
