MTG Guide Reviews

Exactly what you want

Vermonstagangstarappadawg

Like I said, it's exactly what I was looking for in an app like this. The database updates promptly after every release, still pulls up oracle text offline when you can't pull up the image, you can search by set, card name, card text... Well worth the investment.

Card search is lame

majjortom

The ruling aspects of this app are good. But for the price you pay for this app the search interface of this app is sad. You're limited to a simple word search on text card name or ruling only. There is no way to select by manna type or card type or cost, etc. not to mention there is scant information on the final list of cards that result from the search. This prevents the app from being a more complete magic the gathering tool.

Always helpful

Sometimes I even go into the new sets just to read rulings of new and fun cards. Worth every penny!

Great rules & card reference

Nice to have a definitive place to go for rules I'm not sure on, instead of having to Google it and take my chances. Has the L M H pricing for any card.

Best Card Information App Out Tgere

By far the best MTG app that gives detailed card information, online and offline.

My Go-To

Update: App is still good, it still needs search filters, and I’m still salty it doesn’t have them! MTG Trades & this app should probably be 1 & the same app. They are very similar & it seems this app trades off the list management for rules. I own both & use this one 99% of the time. Price wise, both apps in one @ this price point is good. This price on each, not so much. I do feel it’s one of the better MTG apps for card & rule searches. ************************ I've been using this app since I came back to MTG, sometime during Theros. This is my goto. Quick & easy card search, TCG prices, viewing different sets & art and information on which formats the card is approved or banned in. Very helpful. Only wish we had 2 improvements. 1) Searching with filters. 2) displaying full-screen image of the card art, maybe even ability to further zoom in.

Best MTG iOS App

What more to say? For all your non-life counter/game tracking needs, it doesn’t get better than MTG Guide. Its most useful features I’ve found to be the comp. rules and the Gatherer rules, which together cover nearly any rules or interaction questions you might have, even when you’re playing Ice Cauldron aggro. The only shortcomings of MTG Guide is with its card search feature. It’s not that it isn’t powerful, accurate, or comprehensive: it’s somewhat limited with the search criteria available. Further, if the search turns up many hits, the results list is truncated after a certain number of entries. The above issues are annoying but not frustrating, and they don’t diminish the overall utility of this app. It’s always up to date with the latest set releases, bannings, and rules changes. It even has art for each printing of a card and its associated monetary value. If you’re at all a “serious” MTG player (liberally interpreted), you should strongly consider getting this app, unless you’re a level infinity judge. If you were I’d guess you’d just planeswalk or something whenever someone had a rules question.

Needs Gatherer Style Filtering

F0urL1ghts

Almost perfect. Simple searching for cards while offline is amazing. The searchable rule book is also great as well. Still needs a better filtering system. Currently can't filter by color or types. Also doesn't support multiple filters. I.E. like Gatherer.

I’ve been downloading MTG apps all weekend...

This one and MTG trades seem to be 2 of the better developed apps, across the board.

Simple, fast, and comprehensive

For a free app, this is very useful and quick. No advertisements either.
