The perfect app for any draft or sealed deck fan, players can pick the Magic the Gathering expansion they would like to practice with, then launch into an event against seven other A.I. opponents. Open powerful cards from sets like Scars of Mirrodin and easily sort the contents by color, type and rarity. Then pick the best card for your deck and pass the rest to your opponent, working to build the most powerful deck at the table.
Making the right draft pick is never easy, but for the first time ever you're not alone. Marlon Egolf, DraftMagic.com columnist and Grand Prix Boston 2009 Champion, provides a full strategy analysis for each Magic card contained within the app. Improve your strategy skills with the help of these card ratings, which give a detailed look into the power level of each card. His expert ratings are also used to tune the A.I. opponents, making Decked Drafter the closest experience to actually drafting with the pros, and an incredible strategy resource.
After the draft is finished, build your deck using the simple interface, swapping cards around with a simple touch.

Notes: Comes complete with access to the entire Scars of Mirrodin expansion. Additional expansions are available for purchase, including Mirrodin Besieged and New Phyrexia. Each of these expansions improves the Decked Drafter A.I. so it can draft with this new set of cards, and of course, features full analysis and strategy tips for every card in the set. We try to target about 100 words of writeup for each card on average, which results in about 23,000 words of strategy tips for just Scars of Mirrodin alone.
Decked Drafter is a solid tool for MTG drafting practice with helpful card insights and a clean UI, especially on iPad, and offers free starter blocks. However, users repeatedly note steep per-set pricing, outdated content, crashes, less realistic AI drafting, and missing features like multiplayer drafting and local storage, plus occasional payment issues. Overall, it’s strong for practice but costly and incomplete compared to expectations.

Card-by-card reviews and insights provide a solid starting point for new players.

Content tends to be outdated; latest sets are often unavailable.
Frequent crashes and stability problems, including after updates.
Draft bots are not realistic and can make poor drafting choices.
Missing essential features such as multiplayer drafting, a local card database/collection, and unreliable pack generation (along with payment glitches).

I wish they’d make the new set available to download BEFORE the pre-release so I can get some sealed practice in before the event.

I love this app. I have been playing MTG for about 9 months and this app is helped me go from an 0-3 player to a consistent 2-1 and occasionally 3-0 player. The reviews for each card are a great starting point and simulating is easy. I like it more on ipad then iphone however until I know the cards, then both are great.
I do wish there was more communication from the development team ... why no Ultimate Masters? And what about Ravnica Allegiance? As of pre release weekend, they do not have Allegiance ... I wonder if WOTC forbids them to add the set until release date? Not sure.
