** While apps and dating weren't involved, counter terrorists once carrier out a successful strike against a large ISIS compound because they were able to use background geography of pictures on Isis's news feed to locate where it was. You can't meta game real war but it does say something about the usefulness of meta gaming in war games.

* The metagame is critically important in the card game ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. Just walking in with a good deck won't do it; you need a deck that can handle the decks you expect other players to have. Dave Price famously won Pro Tour: Los Angeles based largely on a smart metagame call -- in a field where the overpowered Sligh deck ran rampant, Price included the obscure (and in most metagames, very bad) card [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=11303 Giant Strength]] in his Sligh deck, which gave him an advantage both in the mirror match and against [[HitPoints life-gaining]] decks which were the bane of the traditional, untuned Sligh deck.
