Kind of an unnecessary continuation after volume four seemingly wrapped up all the loose threads, but whatever! These Magic volumes have mostly been better than expected and this fifth volume continues that trend. It's bog standard plot stuff: someone's been coerced into unleashing a big bad, who in turn has to unleash a bigger bad, until (fortunately) they shift allegiances in the big battle at the end.
Mercifully, there's a character list at the beginning of the volume that reminds us who all these people are. I desperately needed that in the previous volumes in this series. Honestly, a star for that. This Magic volume is perfectly adequate material, but the dramatis personae is what makes it worth reading.

Fantasy Avengers Assemble!
I’m sad this is the end of the Magic series as it’s been a fun trip into the lore of very interesting multiverse (A multiverse before everyone was doing them to boot). Magic works great in a comic setting as the heroes and villains of the world all feel like comic book characters anyway. This volume was the final climactic showdown between good vs evil and while it ended pretty quickly, the story and characters were solidly written by the end and everything felt earned.
Definitely worth checking out if you are an MTG fan.

Some big swings taken in the storytelling department. The kind of moves that make you immediately doubt the canonicity of a work. A bit of a jumble, but the type of jumble that Marvel churns out on a regular schedule: overstuffed with characters, underbaked on ideas.
Even so, I do certainly appreciate the attempt at tying in with the start of this series, and would love to see more Magic comics. Maybe at a more manageable scale. Still plenty of stories to tell and characters to tell them with.
