WARNING: This version has an issue running on iPads, please wait for 1.20.1 which will fix the problem. It is already with Apple for review.

iMtG is probably the most advanced Magic: the Gathering app in the App Store, it has unique Scan function linked to Card Database with pricing, beautiful coverflow views of card lists and decks in Card Database and Deck Builder, and Facebook deck sharing.

Life Counter is designed to be easy and convenient to use, yet fully functional. It supports portrait and landscape modes, can run standard, Commander and 2-Headed Giant games. It has full multiplayer support with Commander damage tracking and separate poison counters for 2Headed Giant team. Multiple iMtG Life Counters can be linked over Bluetooth or Game Centre, which is really cool. Life Counter is absolutely free and there are no ads in it.

Deck Builder includes sample play / fish tool, mana statistics, export by Email and sharing on Facebook. You can use Import from iTunes function to upgrade from other MTG deck builders which support .dec file format.

Card Database has up to date pricing and unique collection management. For each card you can set how many you need, own and want to trade. It will add the card to the appropriate report in the main menu. As soon as a new expansion is released, you can update your database in Settings.

Trade module contains quick Price Check and Trading tool, together with Needed and Trade Binder. Needed list is especially handy when you are heading for your local shop to do some trading, and you are guaranteed to wow your friends when you show them what you need in a stunning landscape coverflow view. Prices are courtesy of TCGplayer.com, displayed in configurable currency and multiplied by configurable factor, so you can adjust for your local market.

In the built-in Shop you can unlock optional functionality. Offline cache enables you to mass update pricing information in Card Database. This can be handy for your foreign trips when you want to save on your data roaming fees. You can also unlock multiple decks maintenance and add handy Clone function to test different versions of the same deck, in-app access to card rulings, and unlimited scanning of card names.

Please note the Support and Feedback option, the use of which I would greatly appreciate. Before giving iMtG a review of anything less than 5 stars, please contact me either via Support page or directly from the app and I'll make sure your problem is resolved.

Bad news: the scanner will only work reliably with iPhone 3GS and 4, as other cameras will not focus close enough. Scanning with iPod is possible but much more difficult.
