Glossary of trading card game lingo used here on this board:

acr: Assassin’s Creed Recollection. You are playing it.
tcg: trading card game
ccg: collectible card game
mtg, magic: Magic the Gathering, the name of the first modern published collectible card game.

Deck: What acr calls a sequence. It refers to a deck of cards.

Sequence: What most tcg’s call a deck. The set of cards you play with.

Counter: Neutralizing a launching action, a card that neutralizes a launching action, or a deck that uses such cards as a core strategy: “Court Order is my favorite counter. It is the number one card in any counter deck.” From mtg “Counterspell” card.

Mill: A strategy that involves emptying an opponent’s deck of cards, or a deck that uses that strategy, or a card that moves cards from the opponents deck to the archive. From mtg “Millstone” card (note that unlike acr, in Magic, if you can’t draw a card you automatically lose).

Bounce: To return a card from the board to a player’s hand (yours or your opponent's). "You can always bounce Grimaldi if he gets too big." Examples of bounce cards: Malfatto, Bitter Sweet

Tutor: A card that allows you to search your deck for another card, or the act of playing such a card. Order of the King is a tutor that searches for nobles and heralds. From mtg “Demonic Tutor”

Cantrip: A card that, in addition to its other effects, allows you to draw a card.

Thanks dio, I mentioned the need for this a while ago, but you have taken the initiative. I vote sticky for must read section

[coolkendude]

I don't think you can use SE exclusively here because it can also mean Sudden Exhaustion which a lot of people refer to as well.

That's correct, I think a side result of this list will be to avoid any confusion, so I'll change it to SEsp?

[thest4lker]

I usually use SCI ESP for scientific espionage, for that reason

ESR - Exit Stage Right
MotP - Man of the People

KHAS: Knowledge Has a Price

[Tuism]

Dude, that's KHAP

I like to call it KRAP (Knowledge Requires A Price)

[jeremyat]

Don't know how I missed that...the p and the s keys are on the opposite sides of the keyboard...

[Diomedia]

Hmm maybe this should be in the FAQ section, also Ringel with your permission could I merge this with your TCG slang thread?

[Ringel]

Wasn't paying attention... merge away!

[Diomedia]

Will do!
