Then you need: MTG Deck Forge by Lagdroid
It is one of the most amazing MTG apps I have on my droid phone. Everyone who has a space phone seems to have the life counter apps and such, but this app goes one step further. It's a full deck builder suite of tools: Deck Builder, Gold fishing, Price Checker, Life Counter, and much more. Now this app isn't the most intuitive off the bat, and I recommend reading the walk through and watching the videos. Also, if you have any questions about the app, the dev has replied very quickly to my emails.
Deck Building:
Basically you can build decks in this app save them to various formats to email or share. This is the best feature. I have a google group that we share deck lists and ideas for various formats and this app has let me brew up some decks amazingly fast. It was a lot quicker then when I was using google docs spreadsheet to share with these guys. You can set up your preference so that it auto adds 4 to the deck when you search up a card.
Gold Fishing
After making a deck, it allows you to gold fish some hands and check to see how the deck flows. It keeps track of what turn you play a card and lets you see how a game will proceed.
Price Checker
When it's time to trade, the phones come out nowadays. What I hate most is how long this process takes when people check multiple sites. This app rips data from 3 sources (more to come I hear) at real time and displays all the editions, prices and source. It is as quick as typing in a card and waiting for the response.
Card Search
Full high res image, oracle and original text, editions, and price.
Gatherer Like Functions:
I hate the new wizards gatherer. It isn't as good as it used to be. This is almost better then gatherer, it only needs sort by CMC for the output.
While all this is great, this app still has a bit to go. While it was well worth the $2.50 on the market that I paid, it still needs a bit of refinement. (its $5 now on the market)
The Bad:
Life Counter- Has to be one of the worst I've seen. Luckily, there are a ton of free apps that do this better.
# of Decks- I've noticed with the more decks you save, the slower the app runs. I keep my lists around 20 or so and I don't seem to have much of a slow down. Go over that? You will see significant lag (on my Droid X).
Non-Intuitive- It takes a bit to get used to, very hard for new people using the app to get comfortable using it. I've heard some people return the app after 15 mins because they can't figure it out.
But over all, this app gets a rating of A- because it does everything I need it to do but needs refinement.
There is another app that you can get also its called Magic TG Tracker. Its free (but with ads) and has a paid non-ad version. Works about the same, less functionality but way more intuitive.

Improving that Binder: MTG Price Speculations
Below are are few highlights of the cards I heard the most about at the trading tables. I've included some of my speculation on the cards.
Stoneforge Mystic - Worldwake Rare
Current: $20-25
Trend: Stable, to down.
If you can pick these up via trade for $15-20, but never over $20. If you are shelling out cold hard cash for these at the moment, expect to pay the full $20 at most brick and mortar shops. I would advise against this option, as they will most likely settle down around $15. Remember, Worldwake was one of the most opened sets in magic, so there are ALOT of these on the secondary market. Right now post PT and potential UW brews in extended are keeping the price up.
Sword of Feast and Famine - Mirrodin Besieged - Mythic Rare
Current: $15-20
Trend: Stable to up.
The pro-blackness is the sickness. This card is hot right now. Second most sought after card in the local meta. You only need one to go with your Stoneforge Mystic. If you do not have one, pick one up ASAP. If you can pick one up in trade from $15-20, do so. This card has plenty of potential in extended this season(and seasons to come).
Inkmoth Nexus - Mirrodin Besieged - Rare Land
Current: $8-12
Trend: Down
This guys hasn't found a home yet. While fun with Tez, just isn't getting there very quickly. This was preselling at 12-14, and has seen a small price dip. I would expect this to continue until someone post good results with this in standard or legacy (the two places with the most potential for this card). Even then, only expect an upswing to around $10.
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas (Planeswalker) - Mirrodin Besieged - Mythic Rare
Current: $45-60
Trend: Down Down Down
If you have extras, now is the time to liquidate and pick up later. This guy saw a huge jump because of new brews at the PT and a rush to get 4 of by everyone subsequently. Over the PT weekend they saw a jump from 35 to 40 to 50 to sold out by most major sites and stores. The price jump was only due to demand. As more MBS packs are opened, there will be more and more Tezzy's available. Expect another Gideon situation. I am stamping this one to hit a bottom of $25. This will all change if there are legacy or vintage implications.
