Best Magic app Ever

This is the best source for judges and casual players & store owners. I can't even begin to explain how useful it is to be able to do keyword & phrase search both cards and comp rules. Updates come the second there is a new set or rules change.

Has all the info you need to be a informative player. It takes a little work to learn, but it has all the info you will ever need to develop great playing card decks.
Better than the Official

I tried Toolbox and this app is better 1000%!!! I absolutely love this app and its counterpart (Trades). Between the two of them, I have easily the best card search and easy access to prices. A+++ and I cannot recommend this app enough!
Not flawless, but highly recommended

Quite the encyclopedia at your fingertips. Already optimized for iOS 11, it loads very quickly. If you want a quality data-dump, this is your app.
Highest Recommendation

As a card and rule reference, a must have for new and experienced players. Well maintained with regular updates.
Absolutely exceptional utility
MagnorCriol
Impeccable app. Intuitive interface, professional and sleek appearance, thorough database, just an all-around useful program. Very fast, as well, for those times when you need a swift ruling or price. I use it constantly for referencing cards and rules alike. Well worth the small price.
Still use it, AMAZING!

My original review follows, but I will summarize my thoughts now, after almost two years of playing (skip to triple asterisks for TLDR): I still use this app in every major event I participate in, and frequently in FNM to help explain things to new players. I've gifted it several times to people, because this app is the ***only app needed to understand both the basic rules, fundamentals of how play works, every card ever printed, and complexities/advanced parts of MTG*** (I'm a cheap person, but this is huge bang for your buck). It has massively feature rich: you can search by card name, text, or rulings (which includes specific card rulings after the larger events); it contains both comprehensive and tournament rules, which are also search enabled- and which have 100% functional hyperlinks (within the app!) that will jump you to the exact part of a rule/ ability/ whatever you need to know about so calling a judge is unnecessary; has updated card prices with images that are set specific; and, most importantly, all of this is usually updated within about 48 hours of a major event, with the longest I've seen it take for a new set to be added is under a week. Dang, man. That's incredible. I've gone from clueless to placing top three in an event with over 75 people (sometimes anyone can get lucky). I've gone from *unbelievably awful* drafter to placing first in full swiss, because knowing how rules *really* work is integral to not only drafting well, but catching your opponent when they try to slip something past you. With this app, I'm almost always a competent, confident player (note- not always a winner, and still a complete chaos draft noob!), and I no longer irritate my opponent for slow play, or asking to reread a card, or needing a judge around- unless that's my intention. ; ) I would still love a personal card database, but I understand that's out of this app's intended scope. However, the ability to search by card number and/or artist is something I feel would be appropriate (as it's the only search function missing). **My gratitude still for the developer, and thank you for your diligence in maintaining this app.** (My original review after purchasing as a new player in 2015): This guide and card database is absolutely indispensable (really, it's everything you could want but a personal collection database). Beginners to judges, I've even seen people using this app during a pro-tour qualifier. It's absolutely the best, with the most comprehensive search features, all of which are intuitive. I purchased this when I first began playing because the rules were pretty baffling to me (Them: standard is at least a 60 card deck. Me: Awesome! okay! Them: Well, not tokens. Me: Wait, what? Because I make tokens with at least 8 of my creature spells and 4 instants. How do I count those then? Them: they sit off to the side Me: So I don't get a sideboard?....) Thank goodness I'm not an idiot anymore, and I still find this to be an indispensable app. It's even more helpful now than it was then, since I don't have to ask others about rule questions regarding specific cards and get kitchen table answers that aren't completely correct. This *always* gives me the correct answer, and I can easily figure out the casual play rules from that. I can't thank you enough.
Great app!

This app is a must have for any judge. Also, really great if you and your buddies get into arguments over the rules frequently. Great user interface, and intuitive to use.
