What's bump???

[TheRagingMage]

Do you mean when someone posts "bump"?  That's just a way to move a post to the top of the section so more people see it.

B.U.M.P
Boost Up My Post
Thats what i was told anyway...

[Hunteroffire9]

Lol

[EvACiDe]

Maybe add junk to the list?

[Hunteroffire9]

Good idea

[Silent1236]

Maybe add junk to the list?

Already is!  It's by the {G}{B}{W} bit

[Mlerner12]

Douchebag.  Someone who runs eggs.

Aww...

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Maybe add Pillow Fort to the list?

Edit: and possibly "Crack" and "Uncracked"
Crack-when you use an ability that forces you to sacrifice the permanent for a benefit. Very popular term within the Eggs archetype. Ex. {Verdant Catacombs}, {Executioner's Capsule}

Uncracked-a permanent, whose whole purpose it to sacrifice it for a benefit (or "crack" it), is left on the battlefield without the ability being used. Ex. If you played a Turn 1 {Misty Rainforest} and left it there until Turn 3 or longer

[Mlerner12]

There's still no Eggs

[Kaleo42]

Power 9 does not include {Mox Opal}! The five "Moxen" in Power 9 are: {Mox Jet}, {Mox Emerald}, {Mox Sapphire}, {Mox Ruby}, and {Mox Pearl}.

As is should not. Opal is very weak by comparison.

Also they were made nearly a decade apart

What's this ISO thing I keep seeing in the trade sub-board? Another term I think might need explaining.
