So really, a meta strategy would be something like choosing your deck for a Magic tournament based on what types of decks you expect your opponents to use. While the non-meta strategy would be your efforts to win within a game once it’s started.
Ah, crap. Was that my comment? Sorry. I keep deleting comments when it looks like no one has responded.
But, yeah, Magic has a rather intense meta-game. The reason I deleted my comment was because I realized I had no idea where the meta-strategy was in the dice example so I assumed I missed something. I could be chasing down the wrong definition.

...and that’s why you really shouldn’t delete a comment unless you think it’s doing great harm. You may be worrying a bit too much about what others here think about every comment you make, when it’s in fact somewhat random whether anyone replies to a given comment.
Also, I believe that deleting a comment does not dissipate any negative karma that it has already earned you.
This is correct.
I do not delete to avoid the karma hit, I delete to drop the number of comments in a thread. If two other people say the same thing there was no reason for me to say it.
In this case, I realized immediately after I posted the comment that I probably had not done justice to the entire thread, so I deleted it. I find the clutter annoying and if I can voluntarily take my comment out of the path I am happy to do so.
Unfortunately, this apparently does not work because two people have responded before I could delete a comment. So, deleting does not work well and now I know. Next strategy to try, just editing with a sentence saying “Ignore me”? What is the community consensus on this subject? Just leave the comment alone?
It would be neat if there was a way to just hit my own comment with −4 and get it off of people’s radar.
That does indeed help. Thank you.
