No multiplayer support...
Commander damage doesn't subtract life from life total.   It doesn't even show how much commander damage has been done, unless you go into the sub-screen.

Otherwise it isn't terrible, but it isn't as good as some other apps.

Looks interesting. Does anyone else find the pricing scheme a little silly? I'm curious to know what prompted them to do it that way.

I think the pricing scheme is brilliant.  Players who always want the new set immediately can pay $.99 for each set.  Players who don't want to spend money can simply wait to get the sets free with the next core set release.  Players who skip a set can catch up for a single payment of $.99 at any time.  I think it should provide a reasonable revenue stream for Wizards while satisfying the vast majority of players.

1) Don't shut down 3rd party apps, out do them. If I lose functionality in the forced transition to your app, it will negatively effect my desire to purchase products from WotC. I understand if you want your app to be THE app, but trying to mandate it does not make it happen. Making your app the only app on the appstore does not make your app the best. Make your app the best, and it won't matter how many other apps there are, you will be the winner.

2) Give us a price we can pay to get access to the full builder forever. I understand that $3 a year isn't a lot, but the act of needing to fork over the money 3 times builds a steady stream of ill will. Let me pay $9.99 or whatever it needs to be and get it over with forever.

3) The app needs to have its card sets updated the same day as the full visual spoiler comes up for a new set. If we have to wait 2 weeks afterwards, you are going to miss the prime brewing period for that set, and your deckbuilder will be much less useful.

4) The Event finder is a great feature. Please list PTQs in the event finder.

5) There should be an icon to see all the rulings related to a card. You have the advantage that you actually have the authority to make your rulings official. No other app or website can do that. They can try, but any game group will always have that guy that says "but how do we know we can trust X to make a ruling". You are immune from that, and you can play it up.

6) Have secondary market sites like SCG, etc apy you to be available as "Buy my deck from " options in your app. Get them to set up some kind of API so you can get deck prices. I know that people buying from these sites does not directly benefit you, but it does benefit those sites, and they will pay for the priviledge to be listed as options in the official app. You can't stop people going to those sites to buy their cards, but you can get a piece of the action if you make it seemless to the user.

Too bad only a third of your user base can use it right now because you've failed to release it for Android. Nice feature article LOL
