Mythic Games

Would have been there twice, but the first time I went to look for it, I couldn’t find the store, it’s not clearly marked from the street and when I called there was no answer. When I finally figured out the location, the staff was to busy playing magic to pay any attention to me and acted as though I was a nuisance. Sorry my money isn’t good enough for you. From what is saw, selection is limited, rather than being called a game store, just admit you’re a MtG hangout.

Poor customer service. I’ve been in there a few times and one time the owner was too busy to negotiate the sale of one of his more expensive cards (Time Walk). I followed up with a phone call and the owner was still indisposed. Who is too busy to make a 700 $ sale? I ordered one from TCG at a good price and better condition.
Another time, I spent 125 $ on some singles and packs. After the transaction was complete I asked for a bag and the employee said they cost 10¢. I said, «really?» He said «city ordinance». I pointed out that I just spent 125 $ and asked if he could be lenient this one time. He said «no it’s a city ordinance». Really?! What’s gonna happen, the bag police shut down Mythic Games? I cannot see a 10¢ bag being worth the price of an unhappy customer.
Here is a place that has the Santa Cruz gaming market cornered and acts as if they don’t need their customers. They are organized and have good inventory but would substantially increase their sales if they had a better customer service policy.
They go by Channel Fireball or TCG pricing and are not easily swayed to negotiate a price better than their competition over the hill.
I say order from TCG or Channel Fireball, get a better price and wait 2 days for it to show up in your mailbox.

Mythic is the perfect game store. There is plenty of other stock, but I’m going to address Magic, because that’s all I really know about. Their selection of cards rivals most of the big online retailers I’ve dealt with. The staff are gaming experts and will help you with deck ideas, tuning, even more economical ways to accomplish your goals. Everyone who works here is super-​friendly and never pushy. There is actually a sense of community here — there are fun holiday events, local game makers are invited to demo their games, even birthdays are sometimes celebrated. Even the caliber of player is high — everyone I’ve played against has been fair and courteous. There is some sort of organized play every day, as well as plenty of space for free play. I’m stoked this place opened its doors in my hometown.

Mythic Games is a great place to play in tournaments for MTG and War Hammer. It can be hard to find a pace to sit for free-​play when there is a tournament going on. The prices for singles and booster packs are on the pricy side, but there is a good selection for Standard for a small shop.
The owner is in-​store most evenings and is knowledgeable in MTG. He will help you build decks, strategy, etc.

Really great and friendly staff. They’ve built a nice gaming community by focusing on play space/​tournaments as opposed to filling every square foot of the store with product. I always feel welcome when I visit.

Great place to maintain your virginity.

These guys are super friendly every time I come in and very happy to get you involved in their gaming community. I definitely recommend visiting this cool shop :)

Very cool store and incredibly nice staff. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for good table top games and a friendly group to play with.

Best Game store in the area by far, regular Warhammer Fantasy and 40k games and supplies as well as other fun stuff and of course the only place you should ever need to go for Magic.
nice big miniatures gaming area, with great tables and terrain.
reasonably priced snacks and drinks
Staff and owner Ruben are very friendly and make sure everyone feels welcome. No pushy sales tactics and a great relaxed place to hang out /​game with friends or meet new ones.
Great place for all ages and safe and welcoming for new players, family, females, and younger kids.
If you are in the Santa Cruz area and like wargaming or Magic cards, this is the place for you.
