While Magic will not be the first TCG on the iPhone (that honor belongs to Shadow Era), fans have been looking for it to appear on the digital App Store almost since mobile computing cell devices became mainstream. Now from China comes a report that it may just be possible to bring TCGs to mobile devices in ways few would have imagined, but if you thought the price of Jace, the Mind Sculptor was too high, you won't be happy with the implementation. Check it out:

That's right, an entire deck of TCG cards, each represented on a single iPhone. Granted the phones are conjectured to be pirated or counterfeit, dropping the overall price considerably, but if you're thinking about "phoning" out your Naya deck, you're probably going to have to pay a pretty penny (the cards featured in the article are from the Game of Thrones TCG).

Read the full article and see the cards in action here (editor's note: the article is comically translated Chinese, so it's a bit tough to read).

There's no word from Wizards on whether any effort to replicate this product is in the works.
