R.I.P MTG Booster

Hi folks,

Today is a very sad day for MTG Booster, AweDroid and all of you that have enjoyed playing MTG Booster in the past 2 years. Google has removed our app from Google Play because of alleged copyright infringement. Magic is Wizards of the Coast’s intellectual property and they have decided to take legal actions and have MTG Booster removed from Google Play.

We hope that in the past 2 years we have attracted new players to Magic, made bus commutes more enjoyable and hopefully also helped some players win a FNM draft. Nevertheless if Wizards think we are hurting their business, there is little we can do. After all, we have developed and maintained this app just for fun and do not have the time, money and will to seek legal advice. Unless of course any of you guys can help us with legal...

Thanks to all of you that have supported us in these past 2 years. It’s been a lot of fun. Take care!

Happy drafting and enjoy summer!!!

Cheers, AweDroid

Update 1.10 – Modern Masters

Hey folks!

First of all our dearest apologies for taking so long to publish the Modern Masters update! Usually we try to publish updates a few days before a new set’s release but on this occasion it simply has not been possible.

So, finally Modern Masters is also available for MTG Booster. And you can trust us – drafting Modern Masters is AWESOME. No wonder physical cards are so hard (and expensive) to get. Plus, check out the new artwork for some of the reprinted cards like Tarmogoyf. The only minor drawback: Modern Masters is available in English only. This applies to both physical cards sold in stores as well as this MTG Booster’s update.

We hope you enjoy drafting the new set!

Cheers,

AweDroid

Dragon's Maze Update 1.9.2

Hi there!

Just like we always do when a new edition has been out for a couple of weeks, we just published another quick update for Dragon’s Maze. Now the drafting bots choose their picks a little more wisely. Also we fixed a bug in the Gatecrash booster generation algorithm, which now correctly puts one basic land into each booster. Not sure how that bug could hold on undetected (unreported) for so long, but better late than never we fixed it.

And that’s it for now. We hope you had fun at the prerelease events and as always please let us know if you detect any bugs in MTG Booster or if you have any other suggestions.

Cheers,

AweDroid

Update 1.9 / 1.9.1 – Dragon’s Maze

Hello everyone!

It has been a rough couple of days, but after releasing a rather buggy version of the Dragon’s Maze update (1.9), we finally released a stable version (1.9.1) that fixes most bugs. Anybody who is still using 1.9, please update to 1.9.1 when you get a chance.

Apart from supporting the latest MTG set “Dragon’s Maze”, this new version also allows you to practice your mulligan skills. Draw a sample hand, take a mulligan and start drawing cards until you get a feeling which of your hands you should have kept and which of your hands were a rightful mulligan.

Expect another update to show up soon, when we have actually had a chance to try out all the new cards. Good luck everybody for your prerelease events and happy drafting!

Cheers,

AweDroid

Update 1.8.1

Hi everyone,

Still enjoying Gatecrash drafts? We just launched a minor update for MTG Booster (version 1.8.1) that most importantly improves the drafting behaviour of the simulated opponents for Gatecrash. As it always happens, some of the cards were highly underrated and others overrated. Now everything should be fine.

Apart from the Gatecrash revision, we also added some small improvements. If you draft and build your deck in the “grid” mode (where you can see several cards on the screen), the sample hand simulator also uses that mode. That’s a great plus especially for tablets that up till now could display the sample hand only in full-screen mode. 10-inch magic cards just didn’t make any sense. As requested by some users, you can also now draw additional cards one by one in the same simulator. It’s a good way to test your mulligan skills.

The update is rounded up by a new sorting feature (by card type: Planeswalker, Creatures, Instants, etc.) and by automatically remembering the last view setting you were using.

Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll hear from us again in April when the last set “Dragon’s Maze” of the Ravnica block comes out.

Until then,
Happy Drafting!
