Drop
A card’s mana-cost category
In the Hearthstone digital card game, a drop refers to a card, usually a minion, based on how much mana it costs to play. Players often use the term to describe when a card is meant to be played during a match. For example, a 2-drop costs 2 mana and is usually played early in the game when the player has 2 mana available. Choosing the right drops helps players make good use of their mana and build a stronger position on the board.
The term comes from the idea of "dropping" a card onto the battlefield and is commonly used in Hearthstone and other card game communities. Managing your drops well means playing cards at the right time instead of leaving mana unused. Whether you're trying to gain an early advantage or setting up for stronger cards later in the match, understanding drops helps make your strategy more effective.

Drop is a golf term for when a player holds out his arm horizontal to the ground and drops the ball. It is the result of a ball that is hit into a hazard or an unplayable area.
The drop must occur at least two club lengths away from the hole. Wherever the ball comes to a stop is where the golfer hits his next shot.
