Negative Play Experience (usually just shortened to NPE) is an informal term. NPE cards are obnoxious cards. That can be because they're [[Overpowered|overpowered]], but usually it means they're obnoxious in some other way. If a hypothetical card wanted you to search your deck for every card where the third word is "the", that would be a NPE, because it would waste everyone's time while you check every card.

Unofficial [[format]]s often [[X-List]] or [[errata]] NPE cards. Fixing NPE cards is one of the main goals of the [[PC Errata]] project.

Along with being [[Overpowered|overpowered]], being an NPE is one of the main ways a card can be [[Broken|broken]].
