* [[Equivalent Exchange]]: A key part of the game, every spell you cast or ability you activate has some sort of exchange going on. Even the most simple of cards require you to generate mana and fill precious deck slots with the given cards to work. Some more elaborate spells ask for more tangible costs such as [[Cast from Hit Points|life payments]], discarding cards, or sacrificing permanents. Most of the game's problems have come from cards doing far more in return for what you paid for them...
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: ''Unglued'' had a lot of fun with chickens, which would be out of place in any normal expansion.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Lampshaded]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20090511071338/http://ww2.wizards.com/
* [[Fan-Speak]]: Magic players have created an extensive vocabulary of slang terms and technical jargon. [[Magic: The Gathering/Useful Notes|This]] Useful Notes pages has some examples.
* [[Fastball Special]]: [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=191094&type=card Stone Giant], among others, can be tapped to hurl a creature into the air to attack your opponent directly or block an enemy flyer. This is generally not a survivable experience for the creature.
