MTG Manager
Posted: 05 Oct 2009, 01:59
I'd like to announce the availability of the MTG Manager and MTG Player. These have only been in development for just over a month, so are still in the early phases. However, they are feature complete enough for people to start using them.

MTG Manager is a card collection manager and deck builder. While it doesn't provide as many features as many other collection managers, it does have a few nice features.

Updates
10/7/2009 - Updated the database structure to store the Expansion. Also started storing the images in the database instead of the file system. This should make backing up your databases easier.

MTG Manager is a card collection manager and deck builder. While it doesn't provide as many features as many other collection managers, it does have a few nice features.
- It's Free
No need to download and update card packs. It queries Wizard's Oracle site and saves the card pictures and details locally.
- The Zendikar expansion was available in MTG Manager before it was released without any modifications or imports required.
It shows the cards spoiler style.
Simple card & deck import process.
Ability to zoom a card.
Ability to print a deck checklist.
Data is stored in a SQL Lite database. This makes it easy to access the information from other programs should you wish to do so.
Ability to create multiple decks.
View card type and color percentages on a deck.
Under very active development.
Decks can be used in the MTG Player program for online play.
- This is the real purpose of the manager. It will never be as feature complete as other card managers. You may well find you prefer to use another manager to track your actual collection and just use mine to create decks for online play.
