Magic: The Gathering Companion

This app is awful

There are a ton of cards that you will spend money to own, that don’t work. They will NEVER give you first turn. I’m currently on an 8 game streak of turn 2. They don’t do skill based matching. They will instead match you against the ONE deck that completely counters yours. I think they’re trying to bait you into spending money on what’s supposed to be a free app. Trash. Don’t bother. Just play with proxie cardboard. Your stress lvls will thank me later.

First, I’d like to say that I’ve been playing magic for years. Spent a vast amount of time and money on this game that I love. And when I heard that an app was made to play? I was overjoyed. But after playing, and paying, for months now? I’m at the point of utter disbelief and frustration. You guys must make money hand over fist with this and magic as a whole, yet you can’t come up with a better shuffle algorithm? Do not try and tell me that it is “randomized” because I can nearly call ever hand I will get once I play for a certain amount of time. If I play best of three for instance? And my opening hand is three or more land? I know that I will be getting mostly lands that game. And as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, the next game I play? I will get maybe two lands if I’m lucky and have land problems all that game. There comes a point in time where you see patterns like this, playing multiple colors of manna in a deck and only get one, or go on a win streak where you are actually getting a fair hand then go on a hard losing streak where your hands are the only reason why you lose, that make me swear that I will never pay another penny into this application. Why can’t you just make this fair play? Are you actually telling me that this is actually the best way to do this? Just completely ruin the experience with whatever your algorithm is doing? If the goal is to keep people playing, then why would you want your customers so frustrated that they stop altogether? I’m sure I’m not the only one who see this. In fact, real magic players at game shops? Nine out of ten of them don’t play this application because of the shuffling mechanic of this game. Why?

Everything I do on this app seems way less simple than it should be. A lot of symbols instead of words. Magic already has a huge barrier of entry, this app should be simple to use- instead it has opted in to “looking good,” but you can have both.

Love magic since a young age. But the matchmaking mechanism in this game is messed up. You’re playing jump in premade packs, and people are using their own made decks against you.

My biggest complaint about this app is that it is so hard to search for cards. I’m not looking for a specific color I’m looking for a card that does something specific and it’s impossible to look for it on the app. I can look at it on the website, but the website doesn’t work, it asks me about cookies and then won’t let me accept - every time I open the website and then freezes so I have to close my browser to get it to work again. Good app but I’d love to be able to search for nonspecific cards more easily. I’m looking for a card that creates treasure tokens, with no specific color. It should be easier to look for.

This thing is a disgrace! Constantly kicks you out of events you joined and forces you to close/restart the app and HOPE it lets you get back into the event. Kind of a huge problem, especially if you're in a major tournament. DOESN'T SAVE ALL YOUR TOURNAMENT RESULTS LONG TERM??? Your results just vanish forever in no time? It's 2024 - high time to have an app that actually does the most basic tasks and keeps records of your stats.

Great tool for finding cards. I find that sometimes the search button doesn’t work when I do an advanced search which is annoying. Otherwise very useful.

App says not enough disk space when half my phone is free…

I need help deleting events created. I mistakenly created a standard event and I am not able to delete the event. Please add this feature.
