According to the press release by Wizards of the Coast:

Magic: The Gathering fans have a new platform to play the digital version of the popular tabletop trading card game! Magic: The Gathering Arena is coming to Mac as a free-to-play download, exclusively through the Epic Games Store on June 25. Currently available on PC, players compete by strategically deploying a vast array of land, spell and creature cards to defeat their opponents. […]

The launch of the Mac client will coincide with the digital release of Core Set 2021, bringing the newest Magic: The Gathering set to MTG Arena. With a mix of all-new card designs and powerful returning cards, Core Set 2021 was developed to have something for every Magic player, no matter how they choose to play the game. Available at launch, Mac players will have the opportunity to experience all game modes for MTG Arena, including M21 Player Draft and new play events that help celebrate the release of the new Core Set.

No definitive word yet on when a mobile version will be made available, but Wizards had originally projected that availability to be late this year or early next year. Due to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic that projection could be different now, however. What do you think about Magic: The Gathering Arena coming to Macs?
