Abbreviations



In the Game, you will create a library of licensed digital objects that depict physical
Magic: The Gathering® cards and will obtain a limited license for the right to use such cards.
You will not acquire any ownership interest in the digital objects.

The Account is personal to you and may not be transferred, sold or used by anyone else.
You may not transfer, sell, or share your Account with anyone, unless you are a parent or guardian,
in which case you may permit one child of at least age 13 to use the Account instead of yourself.

What is the recommended click interval for targetting multiple players with storm cards?

Adept_Nightmare: There is no set time, it is a thing you get the feel of over time. Practice does make perfect.

Don't fall for the free avatar email scam!

  • Do not circumvent language filters or in any way portray inappropriate language through masking, alternate spellings, or implication. That includes "lmao", "bs" and "wtf", "muppet" thanks to the clan OnlyHell, as well as, thanks to me now, the symbols depicting a frowning face followed by the blue mana tear symbol to represent a crying face. It's impossible to create a comprehensive list of what may or may not be vulgar or offensive. As a general rule, it's best to use your judgement or ask an adept before using anything you think might be vulgar.
  • Adept_Norven: Fu is a rather common acronym in the USA, and that acronym is against the conde of conduct but kung fu, if you are discussing the martial art would be fine, because context makes it apparent that you are not meaning fu as the acronym.
  • Do not advertise "ante" matches or player-run tournaments or events in main chats, unsolicited private chats, or game descriptions. Information on player-run events can be found at http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=590
  • Do not advertise any business or commercial venture.
  • Do not post any non-Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro URLs, links, or websites except consensually in private chat.
  • Do not disrupt the chat rooms by posting multiple messages within a short time span, spamming, prolonging off topic posts, using ALL CAPS or any other means of disruption.
  • Do not attempt to artificially alter the outcome of a Magic Online league, sanctioned event, or game. This includes, but is not limited to:
    • Bribing or offering any compensation in order to change the outcome.
    • Stalling, spamming, harassing, or behaving in any other unsportsmanlike manner that affects the game.
