However, one area where Magic Arena falters is that it is only available for PC, but fortunately for those looking to play Magic: The Gathering Arena on Android devices, there is a workaround to. Today I will be giving you guys a quick look at 'Decked Builder;' an MtG deck-building app that is available for both apple and android devices! Check out our card shop: https://www.facebook.com.

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.

Best Magic The Gathering App Android

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 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.

Download the app on Google Play - just search for Magic 2015.

MTG Utilities-Free

MTG Utilities

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

- Deck Manager

- Play Statistics

- Card Lookup

- d20/coin flip

MTGPhoto

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, if you play the game, your family may enjoy this lighthearted touch.

MTG Deck Forge-$2.50

MTG Deck Forge

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
