Against the Horde for iPhone

What the app does

Against the Horde is a fan-made companion for players of Magic: The Gathering that focuses on cooperative "horde" play. It helps groups coordinate to face an automated opponent deck and comes packaged with seven ready-to-play horde decks. The tool is intended to support the tabletop horde format rather than replace players’ physical card collections.

How you play

• Team up with friends to battle a computer-controlled horde deck that follows scripted behaviors.
• Build your own custom horde or load challenges that other community members have shared to vary the experience.
• Use the included pre-built hordes when you want a quick setup, or mix and match to increase replay value.

Decks and technical requirements

The app is a management companion for the horde format (which began around 2011) and assumes each participant brings their own paper Magic cards. It does not provide or replace physical cards; instead it automates the horde’s actions and tracks game state to streamline cooperative sessions.
