Commander card text, FAQ entries and rules updates
The new Commander decks were released today, and along with them came new Comprehensive Rules and Oracle card text updates from Wizards. I’ve pushed a new version of the MTG Guide app database (2.6.4) containing these changes and the Commander FAQ entries. You can update your apps with it now. Enjoy!
Initial Thoughts on SCG Mobile
The new StarCityGames iPhone app “SCG Mobile” is a promising looking first release. Though I dispute the “world’s most advanced MTG app” label, it does make reading free SCG articles easier on the phone (albeit at a cost of US$5) and includes a nicely designed life counter with features for Commander (EDH) players. It’s a […]
April 2011 Tournament Document updates
The April 2011 Tournament Document updates (MTR, IPG and Judging at Regular REL) were posted yesterday. The corresponding 2.5.2 in-app database update for MTG Guide was available a couple of hours later. And since the MTR and IPG now include appendices, you can even see what’s changed from within the app.
Guide 2.4 available now, 2.5 to follow
MTG Guide 2.4 became available on the App Store yesterday. It includes a reworked split-view interface for iPad, and much faster loading, as mentioned in the previous posts. Sadly, it also includes a bug where the search fields can stop responding for iPad users. To fix this, 2.5 has been submitted to Apple and will […]
February 2011 Comp Rules and Oracle updates
The February Comprehensive Rules and Oracle card text updates were release by Wizards this morning. I’ve pushed a new version of the MTG Guide app database (2.3.5) containing these changes. You can update your apps with it now. Enjoy!
MTG Guide 2.4 and other recent improvements
First up, I was able to release the 2.3.3 database update an hour or two after Gatherer was updated with Mirrodin Besieged, so everyone should have had access to the MBS cards and rulings at their prereleases. I certainly did, and Australia was one of the first to start cracking their faction packs. Secondly, I […]

September 2010 Oracle card text update. October 2010 Magic Tournament Rules update. October 2010 Infraction Procedure Guide update. […]
Coming in MTG Guide 2.1
Version 2.1 of MTG Guide is in the App Store review. This update add a couple of user requests, namely glossary rules for the Comp Rules, and gatherer links to the card view (which can be turned on via the Settings app). Thanks to our users who have been super enthusiastic about version 2 of […]
MTG Guide 2.0 iPad screenshots
I recently got a chance to use an iPad with MTG Guide v1.2 on it. While it’s great that Apple allows for iPads to run iPhone apps, using them at their small native size or in ‘x2’ mode is not a very satisfying experience, at least it wasn’t for MTG Guide. For the MTG Guide […]

This is a major update to the app with the ability to browse and search the text of two additional documents: â— Magic Tournament Rules â— Infraction Procedure Guide Other improvements are: â— New TabBar-based interface â— Ability […]
