Ever wonder how Pro-Tour Magic: The Gathering players get so good at drafting? The answer is simple: they practice a whole lot. Now you can fill all your spare time practicing your drafting skills with Draft Trainer. You will recognize signals better, you will learn cards faster, and you will win more.

Draft Trainer is your complete Collectible Card Game (CCG) drafting engine. In Draft Trainer, you select 45 cards from three packs of CCG cards against seven computer drafters. Each computer opponent has a different personality, so be careful, and pay attention to the cards you are passed.

At the conclusion of the draft, youll be able to review your picks and the picks from your opponents. You will also be scored on your selections, which you can compare to against your friends score or against the computer drafts.

Pros and cons of Draft Trainer app for iPhone and iPad

Draft Trainer app good for

Much like bestiare.org lets you practice draft. Display is fine, cant expect it not to be cramped when its on the iPhone. This app needs two things. First, an option to set the AI as all competitive, and Second, an option to turn of the timer or not have it auto pick when the timer runs out. Other than that its exactly what you would expect, if you like the kind of practice draft programs that you can get online but want one for on the go then its definitely worth $2.

I think that this app is good however it needs three options: 1. A quicker scroll between cards 2. As someone else said an optional time limit 3. A computer difficulty mode if possible.

Some bad moments

It lets me play, and feel like Im getting better at drafting. Im learning the cards by their image quickly too. I cant wait for the next Magic set.

This app was just what I needed to increase my skill and confidence in playing MTG booster draft games. Already making much better card selections, putting together stronger decks, and having more success thanks to this app!

I love how it tracks your score. Its like I am competing against myself everytime. This app is better than the others since downloading sets is free, and it comes with 2 sets, with like 5 more downloadable... and growing.

Much better than randomly thumbing through my cards hoping that I get better through osmosis. And I dont feel like some jerk is constantly begging me for money. Its great to get some time in here or there. On my schedule.

I like that you dont have to pay for new card sets. Great way to improve your drafting game.

I have to say the AI is extremely dumb.... For real... Kinda takes the fun away when the bots are picking at random.
