Is there a MTG lexicon somewhere?

[Tsivihcra]

As a relatively new player, I am often confused by the general verbiage and terms used by long time players. Is there a lexicon somewhere? I hear something like "jank" or "ramp" and often get confused.

Jank is basically cards that don't normally see play in decks but then someone finds a use for such cards. Ramp is ways to get ahead of your opponents mostly by putting extra lands into play or by placing mana rocks into play.

Usually I just search DuckDuckGo for the term I don't recognize + "MTGWiki" and get enlightening results.

Most helpful. I'm bookmarking it now.

If you play commander, there is also a helpful wiki here :
https://edhwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

It is less complete than mtgfandom in terms of general vocabulary, but covers deck archetypes, colors and deckbuilding terms (such as ramp) really well.

Thank you, bookmarked! I played my first game of commander late last year when someone bought me the Symbiotic Swarm deck. Now, it's about the only format I play.
