samj's review against another edition
4.0
Surprisingly good. Felt like a bible story, with its dramatic archetypes and larger-than-life characters. I appreciated the aesthetic, where 'Magic' as a concept is still being discovered.
That beings said, I was disappointed by the end, and I'll tell you why. I was hoping for a more dramatic 'turn' where Gix and Urza have a major confrontation. In fact they never meet. The reveal of Pherexia as a separate plane of existence falls flat, it's not even clear how Urza becomes aware of how to use his powers, or gains any knowledge of separate planes at all. The final moments of this legend are much more dramatic in my head, and that's how it'll have to stay.
