ART OF MAGIC, THE (Magic the Gathering Artbooks) description
In his introduction to The Art of Magic: The Rath Cycle, Magic's creator Richard Garfield compares players of the game to archaeologists, piecing together a diverse and complex story with bits of information gleaned from each card. If Magic's players are archaeologists, then any of them exploring the harsh and forbidding plane of Rath would be wise to equip themselves with this definitive field guide. The Art of Magic: The Rath Cycle is a comprehensive, generously illustrated survey of the turbulent story line that spans the Weatherlight, Tempest, Stronghold, and Exodus card sets. Players familiar with the sets will quickly recognize the principal characters and locales, from detailed schematics of the Weatherlight to blown-up card art and conceptual sketches for nearly every character in the series. The text that accompanies the illustrations matches them in quality, adding another dimension to the art with intriguing details from the backstory. A great find for fans of the Rath Cycle. --Paul Hughes |

A fine collector's item.

This collection of art from the Rath Cycle is a must have for any MTG enthusiast. Excellent art work adorns every page and serves to reveal the complexity and beauty of the world of Rath. The various characters, races, places, and machines behind the story of the Rath cycle are detailed through writing and colorful artwork. Without reading the MTG novels surrounding the Rath Cycle, this is the best way to get familiar with the story and setting of the MTG expansion packs: Tempest, Stronghold, and Exodus. You can tell by the price of this book on Amazon that it is a valued item in people's collections. I'd say its worth the seemingly high price.
Highly reccommended.
