1. 4/5Great App to stay involved, but minor pain points

   A great multifunction app that keeps you connected to the Magic scene. Stays up to date with new cards, offers search functionality, shows local upcoming events, and helps run said events. Pain points include the search functionality not being 100% accurate based on search terms, and/or what the different filters do not being completely clear in some cases, and you are unable to close the app during a tournament or it ejects you. There was a bug I noticed too when I tried to use the life point tracker in a match and had to force close due a UI problem, and did not understand the specifics on the backend to explain. It was also a while ago.

2. 1/5Who do I have to pay?

   First, I’d like to say that I’ve been playing magic for years. Spent a vast amount of time and money on this game that I love. And when I heard that an app was made to play? I was overjoyed. But after playing, and paying, for months now? I’m at the point of utter disbelief and frustration. You guys must make money hand over fist with this and magic as a whole, yet you can’t come up with a better shuffle algorithm? Do not try and tell me that it is “randomized” because I can nearly call ever hand I will get once I play for a certain amount of time. If I play best of three for instance? And my opening hand is three or more land? I know that I will be getting mostly lands that game. And as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, the next game I play? I will get maybe two lands if I’m lucky and have land problems all that game. There comes a point in time where you see patterns like this, playing multiple colors of manna in a deck and only get one, or go on a win streak where you are actually getting a fair hand then go on a hard losing streak where your hands are the only reason why you lose, that make me swear that I will never pay another penny into this application. Why can’t you just make this fair play? Are you actually telling me that this is actually the best way to do this? Just completely ruin the experience with whatever your algorithm is doing? If the goal is to keep people playing, then why would you want your customers so frustrated that they stop altogether? I’m sure I’m not the only one who see this. In fact, real magic players at game shops? Nine out of ten of them don’t play this application because of the shuffling mechanic of this game. Why?

3. 2/5Card search near perfect

   EDIT: The added functionality with dual sided cards is great! Was much needed. But unfortunately the advanced search filtering was made much worse. You have to be exact on what you're searching for now as opposed to searching for cards containing key words. If I want to search for "creature" and "graveyard", now no cards will show up when I am looking for any card mentioning the two. The search function is now essentially unusable. ORIGINAL: My main use of this app is the card database, and I love most aspects of the advance search as it helps me find the niche of the niche. However, the biggest downfall is in double sided cards. You will only see the front of the card even if the back is what is found in the search. PLEASE just make it flippable or show both sides. This is really the only downside! Otherwise thank you for such a useful tool.

4. 2/5Advanced search gutted

   I absolutely loved the advanced card search, and I would use it in the brewing of every deck I made. Unfortunately for whatever reason, someone made the call to completely remove nearly all the options from the advanced card search, making it basically useless. Beforehand, I was able to explicitly use modifiers such as “is” “or” “not”, and multiple individual phrases in the rules text box to narrow down different effects I needed for a deck but didn’t know if it existed. The only limit for discovery was myself, and the advanced card search could be utilized incredibly to discover new cards among the tens of thousands for some exact scenario you might need. I love building jank decks so finding jank combos was extremely important, and often utilized many cards and effect not often seen or known. Now the only way you can use the advanced search is if you know a near exact phrase of a card, so the potential for card discovery no longer exists. It’s really sad to see because it was such an incredible tool; and I have found no other website or third party app that can accomplish what the old advanced search could. I really hope that a developer or someone at wizards sees the comments and complaints about this new change and motions to revert the advanced search to what it used to be. Deck building is a lot more difficult now.

5. 5/5Actually good

   I mostly use this as a life counter and it’s great. They have some small features that really make a difference. Tracking commander damage, floating mana, infect, etc. is just one swipe away. Most other apps have a really clunky process to get to these features but it’s quite smooth in the companion app. When you subtract life, the screen shows another number that counts up which makes it easier to double check your math. You can save the life totals of the current game and pick up where you left off, which might be nice occasionally. The only thing that is missing is a dice roll feature but that’s ok. I’d use this over Lifelinker for sure.
