An Article for the Ages

[Nefarias]

While searching for Origins info, this came up due to the subject line, and I just figured I'd share it with everyone.

Aggressive and competitve natures are the origins of slang in MAgic the Gathering

Personally, I think this should be added to the list of "must-read" articles.

Thank You, Ed. Now I know exactly how to be a prick.

You are pricking my creatures to death. What is up with that!

Wow, how bad.  Magic slang has nothing to do with agressive or competetive natures.  We're just all really fucking lazy and can't be bothered to fully enunciate Hypnotic Specter.  I mean, that's 5 syllables!

You just have t laugh at something like that.  I thought it was a lame article of people again trying to make sense of what they don't know.

For example the term “Counterspell� is the name of a blue card that counters a spell that is being cast. Counterspell is also the term for a deck that is based on counterspells. These decks usually have 50 percent counterspells 30 percent land and 20 percent anything else.

30% land, eh? 50% counterspells, eh?

And what is that anything else?
