I'm indeed grateful for the criticism. I know of Gatherer, and can't stand it. I've used Essential Magic for some time, but it's slow and clunky. MagicCards.

I'm indeed grateful for the criticism. I know of Gatherer, and can't stand it. I've used Essential Magic for some time, but it's slow and clunky. MagicCards.info is also good, but limited in its one-box search. I built Cauldron as a sort-of Google for Magic. Because of this, all the power is in the search box. It can do all the searches that any other application can do, and has all cards, so I'm not sure what you mean by "limited" and "underwhelming." Perhaps an example? I've been focusing on the backend, mostly, and I concur with the UI complaint -- I'm working on a module where I can start getting articles up on the front page, but for now, there's nothing there because nothing needs to be -- I'm not selling anything, etc. The cards themselves currently link to the MagicCards.info card detail site as a stop-gap. I plan to get that information, as well as the kinds of information in Essential Magic, to make my own card detail pages. As I say, my only excuse is that right now it's set up purely as a card search site -- by the way, did you see http://mtgcauldron.com/help/ http://mtgcauldron.com/help/ ?
