A great place to start the series, 10 May 2004
By Fahim Hamid "Fahim" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Myths of Magic Anthology (Mass Market Paperback)
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."

Repetition is annoying, 27 Jun 2008
By John McDonald "florida gypsy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Myths of Magic Anthology (Mass Market Paperback)
First, let me say I'm not a fan of anthologies, so I may be a little biased. Short stories by thier very nature can't hold your attention, because by the time you get into the story it's over. I am a big fan of Magic the Gathering and own almost all the books published so far, so I purchased this one to add to my collection. It suffered from everything I hate about anthologies and then some. Every story had a story within a story structure that started with one character begining a "once upon a time..." type narration. The one redeeming story used this same structure but built upon Magic lore from another anthology.

Interesting stories in one anthology, 14 Oct 2002
By Mitch "The Yellow Dart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Myths of Magic Anthology (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
