MTG Guide App Comments & Reviews
MTG Guide Positive Reviews
Best MTG Rules App On iOSMTG Guide has a snappy, no-frills UI that makes navigation fast and easy whether you are looking for oracle text or an infraction. It includes a card database with the expected oracle text as well as rulings, printings, and legality. It also includes the expected Comp Rules, MTR, and IPG (including JAR). The Comp Rules are nicely hyperlinked with section references and the built-in search functions let you not only search for matches within the rules text but also do a glossary match that can quickly let you find important sections and related concepts. All of the documents can be easily navigated between via the bottom menu, and your location in a document is not lost as you swap between them making it easy to check complicated interactions. Finally, there are included basic Draft timers and deck-check tools. Overall, this app has everything you need to take judge calls or refresh yourself on ropes without becoming bogged down in excess “features”, information, or graphics. The one area that I would love to see more added would be via the integration of the annotated versions of the IPG and MTR as those can be useful references to have on hand; although I am unsure as to whether the authors of those permit reproduction in an app such as this..Version: 3.14.1
Best MTG resource I've seen or usedThis app is great. It has many features that other apps do not have. I recently became a MTG judge and use this app constantly whilst studying and still use it daily. Despite the great things about the app, there are some small quality of life upgrades I would like to see. First, I would like to see more advanced search options; specifically the ability to filter by color, type, cmc, etc. I love how i can search the text and rulings, but sometimes I just want to browse blue cards with cmc 2. Second, I would like to be able to see how many tickets a card is worth on average on MTGO. Lastly, I would like to know whether or not a card is included on the reserved list in addition to its format legalities at the bottom of the relevant card's information page. In conclusion, this app is a top-rate app for all involved with MTG, the information is presented in a manner which makes it easily accessible and understood to both brand new players and experienced players. I have recommended this app to friends and will continue to do so..Version: 3.9.5
My Go-ToUpdate 2: Still waiting for filters! Also how about giving us the ability to click on a card & get full screen images. Every time I use the app to search a card up for somebody, be it price, text, or rules, they always try to zoom the picture in, which obviously they can’t. (iPhone 7+). Also how about moving cards to the top, followed by text-description, then rulings. Another suggestion - Give us the option to choose settings “always display card art” “display original/newest card art/current filter art” *********************** 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..Version: 3.9.5
Best Mtg App Ever (user since ‘14)I’ve been using this app for years on and off, even when I haven’t been actively playing magic, and I’m still very satisfied with it. For each card, they show the average price for it on tcgplayer, including the different printings and variants for each card. They have every card to date, and actively update the database when the newest sets and secret lair drops are released. Under each card they have the oracle text and its legality across multiple formats. It also has the rule book included! This app is a great time killer, and it runs a lot more smooth than tcgplayer’s app. I would highly recommend this app to any magic player. You need it!.Version: 3.15.3
My go to!I’ve been playing mtg since the Return to Ravnica block and shortly after getting involved with the game I’ve always wanted to know how interactions worked with cards. This app has been a life saver when it comes to complicated scenarios. Having the rulings and the literal rule book at the touch of a finger is so useful. I keep this with me whenever I go to events and even casual games of Commander(because that’s where it’s really needed). Love the content and it’s so worth the price[just like mtg trades!].Version: 3.12
Exactly what every MtG player needsI’ve been using this app for at least a year and it has never failed to provide me with information quickly without needing to connect to the internet (with the exception of updates). I’m impressed that the updates come whenever there is a new product from WOC. The search “text” option is nice to search for cards with particular abilities. The rules section helps clarify actions during play. Overall, a nice reference during games and for building decks..Version: 3.9.5
Great for on-the-go reference!I really like this app, and it provides a great way to look through the various cards in each set and quickly see which cards have specific rulings. The apps is updated on a regular basis with the latest Oracle updates and card rulings, and it’s my go-to app to use as a reference while waiting for pre-releases to start at my LGS. My only complaint is that you can’t limit searches to within a single set or format, it appears to be an all-or-nothing search through the entire card database. It would also be nice if there was a way to filter out cards that are marked as having specific rulings when it’s just the generic rulings text for a mechanic specific to that set. I’m definitely more interested in knowing which cards have errata or extra information. Overall it’s a great app, though, and I highly recommend it!.Version: 3.9.5
Best MtG Rules & Judging AppTL;DR: Buy this app and MtG Trades (Same developer). Best money I've ever spent. Are you a judge? You need this app. It is the best tool I've ever used hands down. Are you the friend group's unofficial judge? This app is your best friend. It has everything you could want on more. If this app could do pairings I honest think this would be an all in one tournament tool. Unfortunately it only has every rulebook, tons of errata and reference materials, and a bunch of helpful tools for anyone who has ever judged in any capacity..Version: 3.12
Fantastic AppExtraordinarily convenient to find whatever mtg card you’re looking for with a very easy-to-use search function. However, I hope in future updates they can add the following features: Language patches for different language printings of cards. Ability to search by converted mana cost, which is very helpful when you remember what card does but don’t remember its name..Version: 3.13
My go to pricing appMostly all positive thoughts on this app. Simple, links right over to tcg or even the companion rules app easily. There’s not much more to want. Really just two things. The ability to actually copy the card photo to paste it in a note or text would be very helpful. Like you can select it, and you can choose copy, but it’s not on your clipboard. Secondly, filters. Or at least the ability to search for a card name while in a specific set. Put those features in and it’s 5 stars..Version: 3.12
Best Magic Rules & Lookup app EverThis 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. I have used this app since it was originally made and have purchased it for every account I own and for my business. Updates come the second there is a new set or rules change..Version: 3.14.1
A Judge’s Best FriendThis app is a fantastic tool for judges new or seasoned. The card database is comprehensive and frequently updated, the rules are easy to read and search, there’s no unnecessary UI to manage. Perfect for judges who are trying to make fast rulings. The draft script with timers is just the icing on the cake. As a new judge this app has improved my draft running abilities greatly. Cannot recommend enough!.Version: 3.14.1
As a Magic Judge, this is the App I useI’m a Magic judge, and this is my go to app for rules, Oracle text and card rulings. It keeps all of the cards, the comprehensive rules and tournament guidelines all in one place and searchable. If this is what I’m using when judging events, why aren’t you using it? The database is updated frequently and is always up to date..Version: 3.13
Always improvingI like that the cards now have a market price rather than just pulling from tcg player prices. You can’t find a better app for pricing or rulings. This app has continuous updates so you always know the updated rulings, bannings/unbannings and newest cards as soon as they come out. Keep up the fantastic work; it’s a labor of love and it really shows..Version: 3.11
DOWNLOAD THISI’ve used this app for years and years now, with zero complaints. 1. Prices are always accurate 2. Rules are easy to find 3. All versions of cards always shown 4. Searching by text in the card works every time 5. Frequent updates for better searching and rules checking DOWNLOAD THIS APP.Version: 3.14.1
Excellent organization!This app is fantastic. Always has the latest sets ASAP, sets are organized chronologically by block, and if a card has been reprinted you can look at one version and get access to all versions. Pricing (including foils!) is from TCGPlayer and is separate for each printing. I only wish I could sort each set by price :).Version: 3.9.5
WowThis is much more useful than I originally thought. There are so many rules that I never realized. I thought it was just the rules but the list of cards and what expansion they come from is an added bonus. It also looks like they update it every so often so that’s cool. Get this if you are into MTG..Version: 3.14.1
Great appThis app is a great aide when I’m judging - having quick access to all the rules docs and oracle text is a really helpful. It’s easier to use than any others I’ve seen. Highly recommend to anyone judging, or who wants to have quick access to the rules documents..Version: 3.12
Use this more than any other Magic app!Whether you’re a judge, an aspiring judge, or just a player, this app is the most useful I’ve found. It contains all the current Oracle text and has a great search function for the rules and is updated regularly! Best purchase I’ve made!.Version: 3.14.1
THE app you need for Magic rules.If you have a friend who likes to play foreign cards in their commander deck (I am that friend) or just like to figure out the answers to complex rules interaction there is no better app out there. Sometimes you just can’t remember quite what a card does and you’ll have to look it up. This app is perfect..Version: 3.10
Extensive and highly usefulThe one thing I wish worked differently almost every time I use it would be the “text” card search. It would be nice if it would match individual terms separately instead of as a whole phrase. Even considering that,I would buy it again..Version: 3.10
Absolutely exceptional utilityImpeccable 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..Version: 3.9.5
Great for study and referenceI use this app all the time to read rules and look up cards. It is the perfect tool for judges to refer to during events, as it is snappy and responsive, and doesn’t use the internet. It’s also easy on the eyes and great to study before your judge exams..Version: 3.15.3
Very helpfulI’ve been playing Magic for a little over a month now, and this guide has helped me better understand this very very complex card game. The biggest weakness of this guide possesses, for me at least, is being new to this game and not knowing where to find the hundred percent clarification on every rule in the game. I’m glad I bought this though, worth recommending for sure..Version: 3.9.5
Great app, bad search functionI’ve been using this app for years now. It’s probably the best MTG app for judges on iOS. I only wish there were a better search function for cards. It’s great if you know exactly what you’re looking for, but not so much for general searching purposes. Overall a worthwhile purchase!.Version: 3.15.3
Best MTG companion appThis app is the best way to search for any magic card, Oracle text, rulings, etc that you could think of. It also has a draft caller and lifepad, but I mainly use it to look things up. Very easy interface where you can limit your search to particular sets. So worth the cost..Version: 3.10
Best Magic App for Rules and JudgesEasy access to all cards, errata, rulings, comprehensive rules, and everything. You name it, this app has it. It’s not there for collating your collection or deck building, but for those interested in the nuts and bolts and details of the game, there’s nothing like it!.Version: 3.14.1
Unmatched qualityThis app has singlehandedly pushes through a dozen Grand Prixs. Judge questions come up daily and this app has all the guides and rule books ready to go in a very easy to use fashion. A perfect compliment to MTG Trades App. Thanks for all the hard work over the years..Version: 3.12
Perfect app for rules and judging!Every feature and layout is perfect for quick and flawless performance as a judging aid and research tool for Magic: the Gathering. This specific app is actually a reason I continue to use iOS devices!.Version: 3.15.3
Best AppI’ve used this app for over 3 years now and it is so helpful for deckbuilding and card pricing. Not to mention when ever someone says they can’t remember what a card is but they can remember key words. Searching by text is so insanely nice..Version: 3.13
ThoroughAll the rules. All the cards. Updates with each release. Search all cards, or a specific expansion. Search title or rules text. I like to browse for cards with a lot of card specific rulings..Version: 3.14.1
Excellent Reference AppWhile I was studying to become a judge, and while judging, I have found this app to be a powerful resource for oracle wordings, rulings, and rules guidance. It’s very helpful to have a card and rules database stored locally instead of needing to access a website or API..Version: 3.13
Worth the MoneyThis program is cheap, is kept up to date in an extremely timely manner, is full of information, works and is constantly improved. What more can you ask for in a program?.Version: 3.11
The best iOS tool for Magic JudgesThis is the single best tool for judges. It is consistently updated as soon as new sets release. It is easy to use, and well laid out. I recommend it to all my judge candidates. I am an L3, and have used this app my entire judge career..Version: 3.15.3
Solid purchaseApp is quick, streamlined. Updates come within 24 hrs of WOTC document updates (which is a HUGE advantage over similar apps). I use this app for Oracle text, rules research, and settling rule disputes with other judges. If you are a judge, and have an iPhone, this is a 'must have' app.Version: 3.9.5
Better than the OfficialI 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!.Version: 3.9.5
Fantastic app for card references and rulingsFantastic app for looking up the oracle text of cards and looking up rulings. The only thing I wish it would tell you is whether or not a card is on the Reserved List when you look it up..Version: 3.9.5
Always updatedThe database and app are constantly kept up to date. I have used it for years and it has never been out of date. The info on the newest sets are ALWAYS available before they are released..Version: 3.9.5

Great appEvery rule you could ever need, for every card. Always updated with each new set or rules change. I’ve had this app for years. Highly recommended for Magic players..Version: 3.15.3
A must-have for any MTG player!Love this app. I use it all the time. Being able to search the rules is tremendously helpful, along with getting to read all the rulings on individual cards..Version: 3.14.1
Phenomenal ResourceI use this app all of the time and am always great full I spent the money for it. There aren’t many OS updates but when they are made the entire experience is improved..Version: 3.14.1
Missing featuresBrawl is missing as a format, ability to search or sort by any criteria other than card name or oracle text absent. No support for multiple windows or slide over in iPad OS, no ability to favorite cards or formats or sets. Zero response or acknowledgement from the developer about even considering any of these features.Version: 3.12
Quite literally the best 7 dollars I ever spentI’ve used this app in hundreds of judge calls and can always get the relevant info before any of my colleagues. The information is accurate and is updated quickly..Version: 3.11
Reliable.I’m in the navy and this settles rules arguments fast. I’ve been using it for a few years now and it has everything you’d need to look up offline..Version: 3.15.3
Great appIt's kept up to date and has everything you could want. Super easy to use. Love being able to search the rules for key words..Version: 3.13
Perfect app for judgesI use this app while judging and it’s amazing. It has all the information I want (oracle text, rulings, comp rules, IPG, etc) and the decklist counter is super useful. This is my recommended app for anyone who needs rules resources for MTG..Version: 3.15.3
Needs Gatherer Style FilteringAlmost 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..Version: 3.9
A little slow when loading Gatherer text, but A++++As a judge, I love this app! It's very slow when loading the Gatherer text, and I REALLY REALLY wish that I could bookmark certain rules, for quick & easy access. Otherwise, amazing & useful so! keep it up!.Version: 3.9.5

Good for what I needEasy to use..Version: 3.9.5
Best MTG resource, and I've bought manyI get updates on the current products available to purchase through this apps version updates faster than I do online. Uncluttered, fast, smooth, does exactly what it needs to. I use this in mobile more than I use Gatherer. Still looking for an app that lets me do Advanced Searches better than Gatherer in a browser, but until then, I've never looked for another..Version: 3.8.9
Great ResourceLove it. Great resource that is updated well before any new set is released. Use it daily to look up cards, prices and rules..Version: 3.8
Best App on iOS for any Magic JudgeThis app has almost everything a Judge would need. With a full offline card database (including Oracle text), CR, MTR, IPG/JAR (in an easy to reference format), and even a Decklist counter, this app is worth every penny spent. The documents are even updated live through the app..Version: 3.6
Perfect Magic AppMtg Guide has everything any magic player needs, from the casual player who wants to see the art or know the price of that rare judge promo to the high level judge who needs the exact wording of the madness mechanic in seconds. The search engine for ruling is powerful, the card and document databases are always up to date. It has always improved through the years and support is almost live if you have questions. I can't believe that I paid so little money so long ago to get all that..Version: 3.6
AwesomeBest investment I made out all of the apps. Not disappointed..Version: 3.4
The only oneWe can't say there are many alternatives on the AppStore, but there is a reason for that: this app has it all. Smooth, great design by iOS standards, it is functional and easy to find anything in the CR, the MTR or just offline Gatherer info on any card ever printed (besides the art that needs Internet connection). What an app. Highly recommended, well worth the money..Version: 3.3.8
Great for judges!I use this app all time when judging Competitive REL events. Not sure how I'd manage without it!.Version: 3.2

Can't live without :)Thanks again love this app. I hope you guys come out with a library catalogue binder app that be sick :).Version: 2.15
Rare symbolsThere should be a system to display how rare a card is example: common or uncommon, rare or mythic. This is the only negative reaction I had towards this app. Besides that I believe it's the best mtg app on the marketplace..Version: 2.15
Best Mtg App available!I've enjoyed this app for quite some time. The offline mode works perfect, the fast interface, linkable comp. rules... And with the latest version ALL gatherer rulings for every card. Get this app now!.Version: 2.15
Very usefull !Need a bit more filter but awesome application.Version: 2.12
SolidLikely the best app out there. Provides the full comprehensive rulebook, tournament and infraction guide, all searchable. In addition, it doesn't require an internet connection to get card ruilings. Very handy when you're playing somewhere without wi-fi. To those complaining about the lack of artwork. It's there, just tap on a set when you're looking at a card. (does require internet though).Version: 2.11

Good for ALL mtg players!Really usefull when playing with friends!.Version: 2.9
Amazing app!Amazing app but could use artwork, however that is hardly an issue..Version: 2.6
Works great for rules lookup, needs card graphicsOverall this app is great. Works well for looking up a keyword during play and the rules search helps you find relevant sections quickly. The way the rules are linked from the glossary is particularly neat. It desperately needs the card art for the card reference though. Lots of other apps offer that (orcish librarian does it and is free with ads) and I find it a lot less pleasing to browse cards without some graphics. I'm sure there must be intellectual property issues but since the other apps exist I would urge mtg guide to get art ASAP. It would let me switch to only one iOS app for all my mtg needs..Version: 2.6
Does what it says it does very well.The rules are very organized and easy to navigate, with all procedures for illegal plays, it has full info on every card with additional notes and common questions, it's kept up to date... I use it a lot. Recommended..Version: 2.5
