Wizards of the Coast
Magic: The Gathering is finally getting an official companion app for your phone to help players keep in touch with their playgroup, track their life totals, look up information such as game mechanics, and find sanctioned Magic tournaments near you. According to Wizards of the Coast, even though they had hoped to launch the limited beta test when Guilds of Ravnica comes out on October 5, Portal is still not ready and they're still working on polishing its quality.
"With Guilds of Ravnica releasing on October 5, inside that product you'll see some advertisements for MTGPortal encouraging you to try out the app," DailyMTG content manager Blake Rasmussen said. "At the time we commissioned those ads, we were optimistic about the timing of the app and went ahead and included those advertisements in the product. We were very excited to launch the new way to interact with Magic alongside a new Standard rotation and a return to one of our most popular planes."
It's good to hear that they're taking their time to develop the official companion app for Magic.
