Bugko for iPhone

Bugko — Companion Tool for MTG Players and Officials

Bugko is an unofficial, all-in-one mobile companion built for Magic: The Gathering competitors and event staff. It combines news, card tools, deck utilities, and judge references into a single app intended to simplify preparation, play, and tournament administration.

Centralized News and Spoiler Feed

Bugko aggregates content from dozens of MTG sources so you don’t need to hop between sites. Features include:

• Fast notifications so you’re alerted about big updates as soon as they break.
• Integrated spoiler tracking and tournament decklist coverage.
• A unified feed pulling from 40+ publishers, including ChannelFireball, MTGGoldfish, MythicSpoiler, and StarCityGames.

Offline Card Library and Market Prices

A key strength of Bugko is its local card database that works without an internet connection:

• An offline catalog of 30,000+ cards with powerful syntax search for advanced queries.
• Simple filters for casual lookups and quick browsing.
• Live price links and market data sourced from TCGPlayer and Cardmarket to check value, make trades, or shop.

Player-Oriented Utilities

Tools designed to improve gameplay and collection management:

• Deck construction utilities to plan and refine lists.
• A rules reference and searchable rule text for quick rulings.
• A random-card generator for brewing or casual formats.
• Offline card search, collection tracking, a wish list manager, and a life counter to support play at home or events.

Tools Specifically for Judges

Bugko includes reference and timing tools tailored to tournament officials:

• Complete copies of the Magic Tournament Rules (MTR) and an Infraction Procedure Guide (IPG) for quick consultation.
• A scripted draft timer to run timed packs consistently.
• An offline, fully searchable rulebook so you can look up citations without connectivity — useful for travel and remote events.

Suggested Alternative

If you prefer a paid, guide-style reference, consider:

• Morcombe Stewart Guide (paid) — a focused resource geared toward structured judging and in-depth procedural reference.

Bugko is aimed at players and judges who want a modern, comprehensive app that keeps them connected to the MTG community and equipped for events.
