A card game produced by Wizards of the Coast for proud nerds to play everywhere. Requires mass amounts of money to win, and sometimes ends up in nerdfights, which are slightly more dangerous than sorrority girl ticklefights. There's nothing wrong with the game if you're into that sort of thing, but most people on UrbanDictionary would gladly kick in the face of anyone seen carrying around a deck.
Nerd 1: Hey, let's go play Magic and pick up some fine ladies!
Nerd 2: Awww riiiight.

Get the Magic: The Gathering mug.
A card game where the winner is decided by who can cough up the most money to go to a comic book store and buy the grossly overpowered older cards. The #3 cause of prolonged virginity in 20+ year-old males, only behind Everquest and Dungeons and Dragons.
I play Magic. I also cry when I masterbate.

Get the Magic: The Gathering mug.
Overrated card game where the player with the most money wins seeing as good cards can cost up to 50 dollars each. It is quite imbalanced as tournament winners all have the same deck showing the best strategy for the particular set. All you can do is spend hundreds of dollars on a deck so your cards can become useless when a new set comes out.
Nerd 1: Want to play Magic The Gathering?
Nerd 2: Okay.
*Nerd 1 plays creature for 1 mana*(from old set)
*Nerd 2 plays creature for the same cost with the same stats except his has flying and can destroy one monster per turn*(from new set)
*Nerd 2 wins eventually*
Nerd 2: Don't feel bad my deck cost 1200 dollars.

Strictly for the socially inept. Magic: The Gathering is occasionally used in conjunction with the Yorkshire word chuffing:
My mom approves of Magic: the Gathering, it keeps me away from girls.

I reckon this dork is going to offer me his Magic: the Chuffing Gathering Black Lotus for $200.

or more affectionatly known as "Tragic the saddening"
This is a card game where the players spend vast sums of money collecting a deck of "magic" cards. THey then proceed to withdraw from people and society turning into trolls who never see the light of day. They can often be seen playing magic the gathering together and will NEVER socialise with you again.
-Is Paul coming round today?
no he's playing magic the gathering.
-Tragic the Saddening more like....
