Magic: The Gathering on Your iPhone

Huzzah! An article about Magic: The Gathering posted by Xias Leave a reply »

I’ve never exactly been an early adtoper when it comes to Apple gadgetry. Given the costs involved, I never got an iPhone of my own and never felt like I needed one. The way I see it, my iPod touch is a fully functional iPhone without 3G and the monthly fee, a small price to pay considering my wife’s phone serves a wireless hotspot. My tangent aside, though, I recently came across an App that claims to bring MTG to your iPhone, and seems to do a good job of it too.

The app is called The Sylvan Archives, and provides players with a number of different functions that could help smooth over your playing experience. It is suited well to playing with friends, as it provides a game timer, a log to keep track of life totals, and win counts for your more common opponents.

It also provides an upkeep reminder, and a log that can be saved for future reference. It also has a local magic event finder and an off-line deckbuilder. Not bad at all for a few bucks.
