What does MLD stand for?

I've seen some references to the term "MLD" but have failed to find a definition in any list of MTG terminology or slang. What does this mean?

    In general when asking questions like this it can help to share the context where you saw the term, in case other people can figure it out from context.

All of the top hits on Google refer to MLD as "mass land destruction", i.e. cards like Armageddon.



Or, to quote one of the moderators on MTGSalvation:




MLD is mass land destruction, so generally speaking, any card that destroys multiple lands at once. This is usually indiscriminate, so Ruination is considered MLD while Sylvan Primordial is not. Back to Basics, and things that prevent you from using lands are not MLD, simply resource denial. At least, that's my take. I don't think the term has made its way into Webster's yet.




So you're right, it's not an official Magic: The Gathering term.

            1 VirtualBox 6.0 provides a new setting called Graphics Controller. There are four options to choose from: None VBoxVGA VMSVGA VBoxSVGA In the user manual I have found this information: Graphics Controller: Specifies the graphics adapter type used by the guest VM. Note that you must install the Guest Additions on the guest VM to specify the VBoxSVGA or VMSVGA graphics controller. The following options are available: – VBoxSVGA: The default graphics controller for new VMs that use Linux or Windows 7 or later. This graphics controller improves performance and 3D support when compared to the legacy VBoxVGA option. – VBoxVGA: Use this graphics controller for legacy guest OSes. This is the default graphics controller for Windows versions before Windows 7. – VMSVGA: Use this graphics controller to emul

Wikimedia Commons: Hudson River Hudsonelva ( Hudson River ) mohikansk Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk ) er ei elv i USA. Ho renn hovudsakleg gjennom delstaten New York, men markerer også ein del av grensa mellom New York og New Jersey. Hudsonelva har namn etter Henry Hudson, ein engelskmann som utforska elva i 1609. Hudsonelva sett frå Bear Mountain Bridge. Kjelda til elva er Tear-of-the-Clouds-sjøen i Adirondackfjella. Ved Albany renn Mohawk-elva saman med henne, og deretter renn ho nesten rett sørover til ho munnar ut i Atlanterhavet mellom Manhattan i New York og New Jersey. Eriekanalen, som blei opna den 26 oktober 1825, bind saman Hudsonelva og Eriesjøen, slik at byane ved Dei store sjøane fekk vasstilgang til A
