"The Play" is the moment in a game of Magic the Gathering that a Death and Taxes style deck takes control of the game to the point where there's a less than 25% chance of recovery.
This usually comes from breaking parity or a specific hate piece resolving, Death and Taxes decks win several turns before the game is over.
"...and there is The Play, after 9 turns of back and forth removal Steve finally resolves a Leyline of the Void, all but ensuring his victory."
"While we didn't know it at the time, The Play this game was a turn 2 winter orb. Who could have guessed an artifact deck would have such a hard time against it?"

I can't believe I had to wait in line for 30 minutes to pick up an item at Best Buy that was supposedly ready yesterday. After 10 minutes my son had a meltdown from the sensory overload of spending so much time in the bright, loud store.
You could see employees standing around doing nothing while I waited in line. When the manager working the desk made a comment that 'someone was a little cranky' (instead of apologizing for the inappropriate wait), I almost lost it. I'm still pretty angry but at least I got a $50 gift card after I complained to corporate, Playing the A Card.
