The actual best card game ever created in the known universe. It is a strategy and math game based in various settings, called planes. To win a match of magic you must amass an army of creatures to overrun your opponent, or use other methods like spells. Also everyone who plays will never do drugs because they have no money, except for special cases.

A dangerous drug synthesized from paper and ink extracts in Switzerland. Addiction occurs nearly simultaneously with the first consumption, and will deplete one's wallet faster than you can say "Tap that freaking Darksteel Colossus, yeah baby".

Nerd: I just spent it on some maj
Mom: wow, that's so sad...

n. a card game published by Wizards of the Coast since the early 90's involving (as implied by the title) "magic" cards

Crack captured in paper form. Actually, the original collectible trading card game, originally released in 1993, still going strong today. Made by Richard Garfield, and published by Wizards of the Coast. Two or more players duel each other using various creatures, spells, and artifacts. The object is to bring each other players life total down to 0 in order to win. This can be accomplished in many ways. It's up to you to decide how to do it. Seeing how over 40 expansion sets have been released over the years, there are almost endless possibilities.
Often ridiculed/stereotyped by chads, along with D&D, Star Wars, and World of Warcraft as the epitome of geekdom. On the contrary, it is known to be played by anyone, and most gamers I've met don't fall into the stereotypes, and in fact, do have a life, have other interests, get laid, etc. Only people with no life like to make fun of people who play games like these. Irony at it's finest.

MTG Player 1: I tap all my lands, and fireball you for 10 damage, you lose!
MTG Player 2: Aww, shit!
Random dipshit: What are you two fags doing?
MTG Player 1: Just got done playing a game of Magic, now we're gonna go hit up a kegger.
Random dipshit: Whaa!? I didn't know you nerds did anything else with your lives but play Magic the gathering
MTG Player 1: Yeah, crazy shit, huh? It's gonna be killer! beer and bitches everywhere! And the best part is everyone going is totally chill.
Random dipshit: No way! can I come?
MTG Player 1: Sorry, chads aren't allowed at this party.

A TCG created by Richard Garfield, but now owned by Wizards of the Coast. Although commonly associated with nerds, this game has been known to be played by anyone. The game is meant to symbolize powerful wizards doing battle by summoning monsters and the like.
Each player starts with 20 life, a hand of 7 cards, and must have a deck of at least 60 cards. A player can die by loosing all his/her life, or by being forced to draw a card when she has no cards left in her deck, or by the bullshit card Door to Nothingness. You win the game by killing off all opponents, or by cards that say you win when you meet a certain prerequisite. Many cards are banned or restricted (only one is allowed per deck), usually the older cards, or many of the cards from the mirrodin set, because of the hundreds of instant-win combos. The game is not entirely based on card supremecy; a particulaly skilled player could easily win with a premade deck.

I get thrown out of Friday Night Magic: The Gathering tournements because of my Mirrodin-block Krark-Clan Ironworks deck (now featuring 17 instant-win combos).

The greatest trading card game ever. It must have been doing something right if it's lasted 11 years and is still in a growth phase.
Oh, and contrary to populare belief, you don't have to spend oodles of money just to win... That's why it's a TRADING card game, and why it's especially amusing to bolt together decks like U/G Madness or KCI and wipe the floor with all those moneycard-toting individuals.
