Playing around with "Foolbox", I find that it does run very slowly, but there are some nifty features:
Tracking life total changes - good for tourneys
Tracking other game events - Times commander was cast, storm count, but honestly these can be done with dice or something.
Labeling the commander in a commander deck and possibly decking the legality of cards against it. Again, not something smart players need, but sort of handy
In the search, only shows one instance of each cardname. Then in cardview it shows all sets in which is was printed. If I'm adding cards to build a deck, it usually doesn't matter what set my
Forest was printed in. There's a trade-of between the functional card, and the physical card itself. With an app like iMtG I'm not sure what the most convenient way to represent cards would be since it uses both the functional cards for deck building and discussion, and the physical cards for databasing and pricing.
I'm not saying that Foolbox is a fine piece of work, though. Like a ditzy blonde it's pretty but slow and doesn't help me.

The features you picked are on my TODO or on its way to it. I also just added the Lucky button to the CardView, how did we missed this one?

I know you're on top of things.

Perhaps a addon of a tournament tally would be a nice addition. My friends and I do a box draft tournament every now and then and always trying to find the paper we are using to keep track of the scores aka wins and who beat who can the rankings of everyone to be able to see who gets first pick on the rares .
