I have no financial or other advantages from these nominations :)
If you want to use an app to count health points and many other things (dice, poison and commander damage tracking, up to 6 players), "Lifetap" is my choice. It's free, looks good, you can even save your commander picture and use it to manage Planechase. What more could you want? :)
If you want to search for cards, please use Scryfall. I still catch longtime players using the Gatherer for this, which I can't recommend.
Whether you only want to search for a specific set or all pure green creatures with Power 5 or more that cost more than 10 EUR on Cardmarket, it's easy to do so here.
The site is very up-to-date, well maintained, shows great attention to detail and always has funny eastereggs.
As I have it on good authority that some people here regularly play in places with poor lighting, an article like this is a good idea: LED folding light. These are available from various manufacturers, sometimes with a charging cable and sometimes without a rotating lamp, but it has been shown that they are good for seeing something for a few hours and are easy to transport.
It can be charged via USB and offers various brightness levels.
For me, the "Gamegenic - The Academic 133+ XL" turned out to be ideal for drafting. You can comfortably take all the things you need with you (lands, sleeves, tokens, dice, pen) and have enough space to get the cards you receive at the draft home again. It always saves time if you already have the lands in sleeves :)
The cubes are easily accessible at the top and the fiddly drawers can be used for other things that you don't need so often.
I use the cardboard dividers that come in the box with the prerelease, for example.
The price varies a bit, but I think you can get everything together for about 50 EUR. Keep an eye out for it at your local LGS or online retailer.
This specific box also became known through the collaboration between"the Professor" and GameGenic. There was also once a KickStarter.
