Best app out for mtg companion. Has Planechase implementation which is very neat. You can type in any card you can think of and use as a background during your game. Free to use and provides a donate button. Can't ask for more from this developer. Great stuff.

This is the only app I've found that neatly keeps track of commander damage and has features to pick random opponents among other things you run into in commander format.
