Sorry for hijacking this for a shameless plug for my software... :-D But I am writing a MTG app, and even though statistics aren't yet programmed in, it is indeed on the feature list (albeit after getting internet play going).
For a card search engine that beats gatherer, and pretty much all others on the net, go to http://daringapprentice.wikispaces.com Either way, I'd be *very* interested if you could post your progress on this project, because it may cause me not to have to write all the deck stats code, and rather just include a copy of your TW in my project (if it's in the license you want to supply your content with).
