Mythic rare is the top rarity tier in most modern Magic sets, sitting above rare, uncommon, and common. Mythics are pulled less often than rares and often include a set's most powerful or flashy cards — marquee planeswalkers, bombs, and chase cards — so they tend to carry higher secondary-market value. Rarity is shown by the set symbol's color (mythics typically use an orange/red-gold symbol). Note that rarity affects pull odds and price but not necessarily how "good" a card is in every deck. If you want a specific mythic for a deck, buying it as a single is usually cheaper than chasing it in packs.
