The upcoming 2.7 update to TCGBuddy includes a couple of features requested by users – an email option for the match data and a rotate button for the main screen.

The email option

In your History tab, right down the bottom of a ‘Previous Game’ you will find a new button – “Email Match Data“.  When you click this button, all of the game data for that current match will be put into an email for you to send to yourself.  If you use the notes feature a lot, I hope you’ll find this feature great for playtesting and so on.

Force Rotate

A couple of users have mentioned difficulty with the screen rotation to move the life counter into Landscape mode and back.  So, in the latest update, a new option ‘Show Rotate Icon’ has been added to the Preferences tab under ‘Life Settings‘.  If this is ON, then a new rotate symbol will appear on the Life Counter that you can tap to force the screen to reorient itself.  This feature is unsupported by Apple, so I’m not sure if it will work on all devices – if it doesn’t work for you, please let me know.

The Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Kyoto just happened over the last few days, and was an amazingly entertaining event.  The coverage this time was amazing, they had their usual blogs, podcasts and videos, but added in a twitter feed courtesy of BDM and Randy Buehler.

The highlight of the day was this play by Nassif – if you haven’t watched it yet, you’ve gotta see it!

The Epic TCG should be storming the gaming stores throughout the USA from today. From what I can tell, TCGBuddy should work fine with it, just set your starting life to 30 and you’re good to go!

If anyone out there has tried it, let me know if its all good
