It will.
Bringing it to Mac shortly after! Should I get excited or is this just a false promise?
Yes! We’ve heard your feedback regarding macOS as an important platform, and we will be working to get MTGArena on macOS sometime after it releases on the Epic Games Store. Stay tuned for more details.
Read moreWhat exactly is the reason for this? Just curious, I'd think if you have your own standalone launcher that isn't tied to a store that's complete trash, why also release the game on the current most polarizing client for PC? I see absolutely zero reason to ever install Epic to download the game when you can use the stand-alone launcher that has worked just fine?
What exactly do you get out of someone downloading this from Epic instead of your own perfectly fine client?
This just has me worried that at some point Timmy Tencent is going to browbeat you into disabling your standalone launcher at which point I'll be uninstalling the game completely and politely requesting a refund for any money I spent on it.
Edit: Also, if the goal here is to reach more users, why sign a third party exclusivity deal instead of also releasing on GoG and Steam? That's the part that makes the least amount of sense to me from a "we want to reach more players" standpoint.

Our goal is to bring Magic to both new places and players. And that all starts with Epic Games. We've found a great partner who will help promote Magic and bring in a new wave of PC gamers.
If you want to continue playing MTG Arena as you do now, you still can! Nothing will change for current players.

Yes you can!
Is this exclusive?
The Epic Games Store will be our exclusive third-party PC download partner, but you can also still download the game from MTGArena.com.
I'll still be able to play it through the standalone client...right?
Correct! Nothing changes for anyone currently playing. The game will continue to be available for direct download from MTGArena.com and that will continue when we release on the Epic Games Store. Players won't be required to create Epic accounts. The experience will be the exact same between the Epic Games Store and direct download version of the game.
So it's best of one?
Yes, this is a best of one event.
