Wizards of the Coast have announced the upcoming release of a free Magic: The Gathering app for iPhone, iPad and Android. The Magic: The Gathering Toolbox promises to deliver a great bundle of utilities, absolutely free.

From the announcement on the Wizards of the Coast website:

If you have an iPhone, an iPad, or an Android device, we have exciting news for you. Say hello to Magic: The Gathering Toolbox, the only official Magic: The Gathering app. And it's FREE!

Magic: The Gathering Toolbox is more than a life counter. It also lets you build decks, research strategies, and find events, all from your mobile device.

While we've likely seen the same functionality in a host of apps in the past, it's exciting news that we finally get an official version. And free of charge? Bonus!

Check out the announcement here. The app hits the virtual shelves later this month.
