In its simplest context; A player of the Magic: the Gathering community that engages in experience-ruining behaviour for other players. The word originally derives its meaning from the card "Tarmagoyf" notoriously known for its high price and popularity in the modern format. Goyf implies an exaggerated competitive mindset to actually cough up large sums of money on a single card to win $40 playmats. In conjunction with shitting on other players regarding conflicting card choices. It is different from merely buying expensive cards for the sake of enjoying your hobby. A Goyf therefore, possesses an negative attitude towards individuals or groups that don't conform to conventional meta ideologies. The behaviour most notable in Goyfs' includes (but not limited to): -Limited creative capacity in deck building. (aka: net-decking pro-tour decks, inability to "think outside the box") -Being condescending / difficult at casual events, especially about rulings and towards newer players. -Getting angry at what a Goyf perceives to be bad plays or losing matches. (excessive swearing, disrespecting other players, etc) -Criticizing other players decks for card changes that don't match common net-decks. -Overall shitty attitude towards anything remotely outside conventional ideas. Other fun variations of the word Goyf can be used in conjunction with other words and phrases for added hilarity. Eg: Goyf uck yourself, Goyflings, Goyfettes, Goyfachini Alfredo, Perogoyfs.
