Directed toward Drewsel,
Strategy is all over the place in Magic, like playing your spells in your second main phase rather than your first so as to not feed your opponent's Wing Shards spells or other spells with Storm. Simple strategy perhaps, but strategy none-the-less. Not wasting an Echoing Truth on a small nibbler and using it on a larger, costlier creature later is a better strategy than wasting it early on. Using a trickery charm to see the one card an opponent has in hand before making them discard a card that just might be better in their graveyard than in their hand is definitely a fine strategy.
Point is, there is much random luck in the game, but there is good thinking, and bad thinking, in the play of the game. Good strategy, or bad strategy. Knowing when to play a spell and when to not play it is definitely strategy. I've used Magic to teach my students strategy for years now. In multiplayer games, this is much more neces... (see all)

Next time your opponent plays cascade, you can kill two of his attackers :)

Excellent counter to haste. Your opponent plays hasty creatures, they get to sacrifice an extra for each one.
Besides that, it's nice if you expect a combat trick (opponent casts it, you cast this) or if you have other combat relevant spells (particularly a flash blocker, dropping this and Plumeveil can really screw combat up)
