I got a job doing piano lessons at the local comunity center this summer. And they have short courses on different subjects. Since it was free and I had to spend so much time there anyways, I decided to take one or two.
I was looking through the list and I noticed a course called:
"Building a deck."
Oh my God! I've got to join this thing, so I wrote my name on the sign up sheet. Two days later I showed up for the first class with all my magic cards. To my surprise, everyone else had their tools and there was a lot of wood there. Apparently they were going to teach us how to build a deck for our house.
Am I the only one here whose first thought when seeing "building a deck" was MTG?

No, I didn't think that.
However, Japanese Magic cards do help me remember words every now and then. I can always remember that 精神 ("seishin") means mind or spirt because it's the first word in "Mind's Desire."

I have no idea why that made me laugh so hard :lol:
Probably because I recognise it. Whenever my colleagues say: "Let's brainstorm" or whatever, three cards is the first thing I think of. I guess that'll never go away.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I sometimes get the brainstorm thing too. And whenever someone uses the word "ancestral"... well, that's pretty obvious.
But it was really kind of embarassing, standing there with my all my magic cards amidst people carrying power tools.

I tend to use a lot of magic vocabulary that probably seems out of place in modern speech, stuff like "through force of will" or "under duress" or even "blew me out like a tendrils for twenty".

During my Philosophy class about three semesters ago we were talking about Plato's school for education and the first institutional school of philosophy A.K.A. The Academy. So of course my teacher calls on me and I refer to it as Tolarian Academy.

Stifle, hinder, quash, thwart, and about a billion other counter spells i use from time to time. There is so many other words i wouldn't normally use if it wasn't for magic cards.
Then there is the news, everyday i hear about the war in bagdad i think "oh, no not the bazaar. please save the bazaar."

Sometimes when I learn new legal words or am looking in Black's Law Dictionary I find words that sound like they could be a Magic card. I feel like the design department really needs to invest in a Black's law Dictionary. Just looking at some of the words and their definitions, you can almost immediatly concieve of what a Magic card of the same name would do. I am a nerd.
