Magic: The Gathering Companion

What Magic: The Gathering Companion does

Magic: The Gathering Companion is an event tool for Magic: The Gathering players and stores. It helps players join participating store events, find their matchups, follow standings, receive round notifications, and report results. It also includes a built-in life counter for use during games.

Useful beyond store events

The app is not limited to organised play. Its Home Tournament Organizer can create events for up to eight friends and track pairings and standings. That makes it suited to casual groups that want tournament structure without managing results by hand.

• Join limited and constructed events using a code from the store.
• View pairings and standings as an event progresses.
• Use the life counter during matches.
• Organise home events for up to eight players.

Card reference and account requirements

A card database covering more than 17,000 Magic cards adds a reference function alongside the event tools. Players can search cards, view previews, and check updated rulings. A Wizards Account is required for in-store events, home events with more than eight players, and advanced home-event settings.

Scale and track record

The app is published by Wizards of the Coast LLC and has reached 1,000,000+ installs. Its rating is 4.34 from 13,490 reviews, giving that score a substantial review base rather than relying on a small number of opinions. The main choice is therefore about use: it fits players who need official event pairing and result tracking, while a simple life-counter app may be enough for games that do not involve organised events.
