What is it about the Magic fandom that makes people use this phrase when comparing cards?

    Stupidity.

    Really though, it does get overused, but it can be true for certain situations.

    Is Hickory Woodlot strictly worse than a forest?

    Because I know this is a point of contention I had with two MTG-playing friends a few years back.

    Not really. I bet there are some decks that can make better use of it than a forest, but it would be difficult.

    And proliferate makes it easier to abuse.

    So, is Divinity of Pride > Loamhammer?

    Not being familiar with the magic fandom, I'd assume it's used in a context in which a card fulfills the role of another card better in every way. For example, a 6/6 effect-less creature that costs 3 colorless and one blue mana would be strictly better than another one that has the same cost and (lack of) effects, but 5/5 stats.

    I know, lol blue beatstick, but it was just a hypothetical example.
