[Laharl]

all the phrases and slang you swore you'd never use when you started playing that slowly encroached your vocabulary. they missed a few anyway.

Eat- Sacrificing a creature or killing one in order to giving benefit to one of your own. i.e. Nantuko Husk, Vampiric Dragon.

Yu-Gi-Oh!- Topdecking the least useful card for the current situation leading to your defeat. i.e. you have no creatures left your opponent has enough to kill you on their turn but their on 2 life, you could topdeck a burn spell for the win but instead you get a mountain. (reference to innate ability of the people to get exactly the card they need in the yu-gi-oh show.)

Luke should know some more.

Can't think, but Yu-Gi-Oh! also has a other meanings, when any card except a land could save you, you draw a land, and the original use came from having one card in your deck that would win the game, in Yi-Gi-Oh you would get it as a dramatic climax while in Magic you get... a land.
