a. (verb) To obtain something good, especially in a manner that is fortunate and/or timely.
b. (noun) Something obtained in this manner.
Coined by players of the popular TCG (Trading Card Game) Magic: The Gathering, the term is derived from the phrase "might as well" and originally applied only to cards topdecked exactly when most needed. It has since expanded in meaning to include pretty much anything lucky, unexpected, though the primary meaning remains the same.
Usually used only by TCG players, especially Magic players.

Originally derived from the expression "might as well", as in "you might as well draw a disenchant". It was then shortened through excessive use to "mise" and used in reference to a lucky draw: "I mised a disenchant." Now it is simply used to describe anything good.
