Forge is an open-source, unofficial rules engine for Magic: The Gathering built in Java, letting players play against AI opponents across many formats. It includes single-player Adventure and Quest modes and runs on desktop platforms and Android.

Use cases

  • play magic the gathering against ai offline
  • draft and sealed simulator for mtg
  • play commander against computer opponents
  • mtg adventure mode like shandalar
  • open source magic the gathering rules engine
  • play mtg on android without internet
  • build custom cards for a mtg engine

When to choose

  • you want to play MTG solo against AI in formats like draft, sealed, or commander
  • you want a free cross-platform MTG client on Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android
  • you want to explore an overworld adventure mode with card collection
  • you are a developer who wants to contribute cards or features to an MTG engine

When to avoid

  • you want official online play against humans via Wizards of the Coast services
  • you need a lightweight mobile game on low-end Android devices (6GB RAM minimum)
  • you want an officially licensed MTG product with support
