How To Get Magic The Gathering MTG On Your Android Mobile Phone Or Tablet

id="mod_11702319">A little history now-
Magic the Gathering (MTG) hit the playing fields in 1993 as the brainchild of Richard Garfield and the production of Wizards of the Coast game company run by Peter Adkison.

In 1996, Magic the Gathering set up the "Pro Tour" circuit, allowing players to "up their game" and compete for cash prizes.

In 2002, Magic the Gathering released an official online version of the game.

Today, you can play Magic the Gathering on gaming consoles like the Xbox 360 as well in a single or dual campaign mode, situational challenges, and online matchmaking.

Magic the Gathering has an increasing presence in the Android App Marketplace.

You can download life counters, deck constructors, price checkers, and multi-tools at the touch of a button.

If you are a MTG gamer and if you have an Android, you might want to try a few of these Android apps.

Let's explore a few and their QR Codes. 



Magic 2015
Magic the Gathering - The Game
The first app, of course, should be the game itself. It needs a fast phone to run on or you will be disapointed. It takes the experience many of us have been introduced to on Xbox and Playstation and converts it down to being used by a phone or tablet.

I would recommend for sure using it on a tablet as everything is so small on a phone. Its a start in the right direction, but it can use some improvements like running more smoothly, for example.

Apk download the app on Google Play - just search for ios Magic 2015.

MTG Utilities-Free

Perhaps one of the more versatile Magic the Gathering tools on the Android Marketplace is "MTG Utilities".

As with most MTG apps, it is far from "perfect"- so add some input and donate if you're willing to make it a better tool.

Features:

- Turn Time counter

- Life Counters

- Export History to SD-card

- Editable Player names

Although certainly not useful for standard MTG play, MTGPhoto is a fun app for you are your family.

Your son or daughter can have their own magic card or perhaps your cat or dog.

Use your camera to take a photo of whatever you like and then customize all other card details.

It is still in early stages of development too with lots of reported bugs in most reviews, but nonetheless, XAPK if you play the game, your family may enjoy this lighthearted touch.

MTG Deck Forge-$2.50

This is a paid app, costing $2.50 USD.

You can see why this is a paid app just by looking at the screenshots and the demonstration video.

I cannot personally endorse this as I have not downloaded and tried it myself, but the community of players and users seem to hold this app above all others for the Android using MTG player.

This app has over 1,000 downloads and counting and has managed to maintain an over four star rating.

Features as listed on "Official Page":


Add cards quickly and efficiently

Included database of cards autocompletes after entering as few as 3 characters of a card's name

A group of fans finally came up with the ultimate MTG App on Android (at least for me, lol). Wagic ( website ) is a free game, not available on the market but easy to install (no need to root or anything), that allows to play solo mtg against the CPU. It's the perfect time killer on the train, been playing for days and I can't stop :)
