Description
Decked Builder is the premium deck building app for Magic the Gathering -- providing a sleek user interface to research decks, find cards, and then build, price and finally buy the deck that you want.
"This is the program I recommend for anyone willing to spend ... on an MtG application. I’m one of those people who will generally take the free alternative over the paid app any day, but I’m actually happy to have spent the money on this one. It has a ton of very cool features, runs smoothly, and even has RSS feeds for several top MtG sites."
- Michael Evans, GatheringMagic.com
"Decked Builder is the absolute pinnacle of what a Magic the Gathering accessory app should be. There’s almost nothing that I need, that this app can’t do for me."
- Jaden, appaddict.net
"The iPad version of Decked Builder is perfect. Solitaire play has been upgraded and the card loading speed is marvelous. Thanks for a good application."
- Eugene Lee, author of Wagic
"I have to say that this app is certainly one that I would recommend to any MTG player"
- Josh Elliot, eyeofthevortex.com

Ratings and Reviews
Still Good, But Developed Issues
I’ve used this app on my phone and computer for years. It was solid for a long time. Would have been 5 stars. Then the app on my phone would crash a lot for a good 6 months (a year or 2 ago). Once that was fixed, the app started having issues fetching my collection and decks from Dropbox/Google Drive. It was never a problem before, but then it started happening for the last year. Instead of it automatically loading my collection and deck upon first opening the app, I have to manually open them a few times. Rather annoying because if I close out the app, even for a few seconds, I’ll have to reopen all the files a few times to get it to work.
I’ve reached out multiple times and the questions I always get are “does it work when you save locally?” It does, but I use online storage managers so I can access these files on my computer and phone easily. I’d have to constantly sync these files with one other if I saved everything locally each time I updated one.
Used to be a great app, but over the years it has slowed down into something lesser. I still recommend it if you are just going to use it on your phone. But if you plan on using it across multiple devices, you might find issues with the online storage option.
Longtime user
I’ve been using this app since probably around 2013, it was one of the first and one of the only apps I’ve paid money for. Used to be the best option for deck building and collection management. A recent update to the entire interface has soured several features that were much more important than the improved design aesthetics. Card search for specific versions of cards requires making the search, clicking on a card, selecting a drop-down menu only available within the view screen of one card to view multiple versions, which must be followed up with backing out of that card view to now see multiple versions of the cards. That’s three steps more than it should take, and must be repeated for each card you search. The card search functionality in general is nonintuitive and buggy. Hopefully these issues will be fixed in the future, but the current state of the app is a classic story of a new front+backend rolled out to look nicer but without proper design choices for ease of use, much less sufficient testing for bugs on the basic functionality of the app.
Was good, recent updates make it bad
The updates recently to the search and general user interface are awful. Searching by collection is much harder, and it’s a lot easier to bounce between collection and deck list on accident when adding individual cards. It used to be that you could limit the search to cards you own and be in deck building mode to build a deck, now for every single search you have to manually re-hit the deck building mode switch... also, names can be harder to read due to how the ellipses work, and if something has a long creature type bar you can’t see power/toughness from browsing mode, and the hit box for the plus/minus button in card mode is absolutely awful.
It used to be really really really good though. I have no idea who greenlit this update, because it’s a strict downgrade from the earlier interface. Sure there are a couple more filters, but if all I cared about was filters I’d be using something like scryfall. I liked the easy accessibility and great user interface and how easy it used to be to select your card pool-sets, collections, formats (I am glad you added pauper, but the ui in the update is soooooooooooooooooo bad), and the like but now I hate the new ui so I find it hard to use and recommend the app. Fix the ui, and I’ll fix my rating to where it should be, a 5.
