Magic the Gathering series

Gixus · 01-09-2008, 03:45 PM

For any Magic players out there or fantasy fans I highly recomend the Magic the Gathering series.

There are tons of them so if you like them they won't leave you asking for more. My only complaint is that they have a little too much battling and not enough story but overall they are good books and a fun read for fantasy buffs.

Anyone else out there read them, and if so which ones?

I haven't read more than part of one, which I can't remember the name of, it was a long time ago. I've played the card game for like six years or so though.

Some series are better than others. The stronghold/tempest stuff was alright, the Mercadian stuff was actually pretty good. Can't say I've read any others. It's not exceptional fantasy fare, but it's pretty decent.

Have you ever read the artifacts cycle? They are my personal favorites.

I used to read a ton of em.
My faves were Ezra's saga and Odessy (Khamal was such a BAMF, I had a deck entirely centered around him. I mean just look at the guy!)

Yeah they were a great series to, and Kamal probably is one of cooler characters I have read about.

Is the artifact cycle the one for the Urza's card series (Urz'as saga etc.)? I read those too. Pretty good, though Urza struck me as a bit of a Mary-Sue. Not as bad as Elminster by a long shot.

Again, pretty interesting IMO and a worthwhile read if you're into fantasy, but not the best of the genre.

I play the online version of the game, quite fun.
