5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start the series, May 10 2004

By	Fahim Hamid "Fahim" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Its hard to find good fantasy shortstory collections. Everyone is always devoured by those epic trilogies. MTG isn't really an epic, which is probably why it is less popular (and the fact that it is related to a card game). But this is one of my favorite anthologies. Every tale is wonderfully told, and many of them are very original.

The first myth, "Blue Moon," is a clever and interesting story. "Isle of the Damned" is a more haunting story, but very memorable. "Leviathan" is an amusing tale, similar to those flood myths we've all read about. "Phyrexian Creations" is a deep, dark story about Yawgmoth. My favorite myth, "The
Deathbringer," is surprisingly original and very compelling.

I highly recommend this collection to all readers. The MTG series is an interesting series, yet underrated. Look out for other anthologies like "Colors of Magic" and "Rath and Storm."

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting stories in one anthology, Oct 14 2002

By	Mitch "The Yellow Dart" (Canada) - See all my reviews

Some of the stories here are great. One of my favorites is the one on Yawgmoth's rise and reign of power. Some of the stories are incredibly gory and 'graphic', at least for a book. An interesting Anthology that I enjoyed even more than Colors of Magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, Aug 25 2000

By	M. Manley (Brentwood, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jess Lebow's second MTG anthology edit, this book is better than the year's previous, Colors of Magic. In addition to the exciting tells of the folklore of Dominaria, there is also a preview chapter of J. Robert King's novel Invasion (October 2000) where Phyrexia let's it's thousands of ships and armies fight for Yawgmoth's homeland (to true MTG storyline fans, the book is worth it just for the chapter alone).

It was a pleasure reading the book with such a good array of writers. I hope you all enjoy it too.

I wanted ten stars but they wouldn't give it to me. So I had to make due with 5. That should tell you most of what you need to know about this book. Read more
