"The Play" is the moment in a game of Magic the Gathering that a Death and Taxes style deck takes control of the game to the point where there's a less than 25% chance of recovery.
This usually comes from breaking parity or a specific hate piece resolving, Death and Taxes decks win several turns before the game is over.

"...and there is The Play, after 9 turns of back and forth removal Steve finally resolves a Leyline of the Void, all but ensuring his victory."
"While we didn't know it at the time, The Play this game was a turn 2 winter orb. Who could have guessed an artifact deck would have such a hard time against it?"

Get the Play-doh nosemug. The acronym NSA play means “no strings attached.” As in, I'm not looking for a girlfriend, boyfriend, or serious commitment. I just want to have fun. People who are looking for no-strings-attached dates want a casual sexual encounter without making any promises about the future.

Get the nsa playmug. (Talking to the UD Jews)
Sometimes I forget to play along. I get confused and forget that I know the truth and have very little to worry about. You can get trapped in character and forget that’s it’s all meant to be just an act.
Still, I feel uncertain sometimes about the world and the future...
I often wonder if I am fluctuating from an INTJ state of mind into i.e. another personality type/ego. Like for example, ISFP or ENTP. I think INTJ is probably the default.
Also. How do you extend your life span? Do you take lots of vitamins to live longer or something? Cause I see lots of people living in their 90s and 100’s and I’m like how the hell do they do that?

Get the Thomas triple playmug. Non-metal version of play Athens. Clint Mansell - The Fountain and Neil Young - Crazy Horse at the Fillmore 1970 are an example. You can verify this on the 2007 custom chart, include archival and live releases.
Note that in this case, Neil Young's Fillmore release is the one that got played.

I was checking Live at Massey Hall 1971 and After the Gold Rush, and I saw Neil Young play Fillmore on himself!
