Important: New Split Card Naming
In order to simplify naming of split cards like Far/Away, in our database we now treat them as two separate cards. Wizards has had varying ways of naming split cards over the years, and we feel this should simplify things. So when you add cards to your collection, just type "Far" or type "Away" instead of "Far // Away (Far)" or "Far (Far/Away)".

The Art of Attrition: Card Advantage and Card Devaluation by Æther Tech
Playing Magic is all about having access to cards that you need in order to stop your opponent from doing things to your face. Your opponent wastes a bunch of cards in their hand to get a few creatures in play – so you spend four mana and one card to reset the battlefield. This is called generating positive card advantage.
The Art of EDH: A sadist's tinkering. by Scott
Building - or constructing - a good EDH deck takes two things: Time and a willingness to be an evil little sadist.
For The Old School Magic Player by Saran Ekambaram
Magic is about more than just numbers and damage and phases and the stack. Aside from all the rules and mechanics, we play the game because of the way it makes us feel. Mostly, the majority of us play because it makes us feel happy or like we are having fun. If not for how the game makes us feel, what point is there in playing at all? Would we really be playing if it made us feel like garbage?
