Today at Gamescom, Wizards of the Coast announced that Magic: the Gathering Arena would be coming to the Epic Games Store on PC this Winter, with a Mac version of the game coming “shorty after.” Neither release was given an exact release date.
The Epic Games Store
Epic, the company behind Fortnite, launched its own video game storefront called the Epic Games Store in December 2018. It is a competitor to Steam, and similarly offers games for both Windows and Mac.
Wizards says that Epic will be the exclusive third-party PC download partner for MTG Arena and that the game will still be available for direct download from MTGArena.com. Existing players will not be required to create Epic accounts in order to keep playing.
Magic on a Mac
Since the release of Magic: the Gathering Online (neé Magic Online with Digital Objects) on PC in June 2002, one of the biggest community complaints about Magic’s digital form was that it was only available on PC—not on Mac. That trend continued when MTG Arena was announced in 2017 as PC-only to start.
But a few months later, in an interview with Hipsters of the Coast, Wizards CEO Chris Cocks said that they were intended to bring MTG Arena to Mac eventually. “We will support other platforms like Mac,” Cocks said. “[T]hat likely won’t be until either the later stages of the Beta or around when we declare it as a launch game, but Mac will be a platform that supported as well as all the other platforms you would expect us to do.”

I have been wanting to get into MTGO cause I usually can’t make it to FNM, and I thought being on a Mac would stop that, How can I get MTGO on my mac?
Any Information would be helpful.
I asked Marshall to answer this question for the blog. Here’s his response! -Jon
Free zip for mac. I get this question a lot. Here is the setup I use, it’s pretty easy:
1. Virtualization software

This is different than emulation software, and there are two main products for this: Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion. I use Parallels but have used VMWare in the past and been pleased. You need to purchase this software and install it on your Mac. This will allow you to install and run Windows while running OSX.
2. Windows
Ingredients for kraft mac and cheese. You will need a licensed copy of Windows to install as a virtual machine on your Mac. You can install any Windows OS that will run MTGO, I use Windows 7 as I find it the most stable, with the least maintenance.

After you get Parallels or similar installed, you can install Windows as a virtual machine. Your chosen program will give you instructions and they have really made it very easy to do this. Then just install MTGO on Windows and your are good to go.
Another option if you don’t need to run Windows at the same time as using Boot Camp, which is free and comes preinstalled on your Mac computer. This is called “Dual-booting”, where instead of running Mac OSX and Windows at the same time, you choose which one you want to run when you turn on the computer. You still have to have a licensed copy of Windows to do this.
You can install Windows and MTGO on it and just boot into a Windows machine when you want to play. This is not particularly convenient though as you have to reboot the computer just to play MTGO and you can’t access your Mac apps while you are doing this.
I recommend just shelling out some extra money for Parallels or VMWare Fusion, as they run excellently on both my 11″ Macbook Air and my 27″ iMac.
**MTGO V4 Update 7/23/14**
I had terrible issues with the V4 client shortly after its launch. The client would boot me 4-5 times per draft, forcing me to relog and miss picks.
Listener Alan wrote in with a fix: Zsight for mac.
If you have your Parallels Virtual Machine configured in the default manner, the network connection type will be Shared Network, as seen here:
The problem is that it will renew the DHCP Lease every 30 minutes with this setup. This shouldn’t be an issue, but the V4 client of MTGO is touchy about the connection, and will boot you every time it resets.
If you change your “Type” to Default Adapter like this:

The program will renew the lease every 24 hours, eliminating the problem.
If you find yourself with constant disconnect issues, this should fix it (it did for me). Best budget apps for macbook.
Good luck!
