I would like to recommend for the seperation between two words by comma. All the descpription, keywords writes on comma format. Eg. SEO, link building, traffic, web traffic. All keywords seperated by comma.

I don't think the spaces around the slash are needed. It doesn't look odd to me personally, and the slash can separate words to Google's algorithms. The lack of space after the pipe does look odd to me, but Googles's algorithms shouldn't have any problem with it.

I would not recommend repeating any keywords in the title. You have "MTG" in your brand name, so I wouldn't try to target that keyword a second time. How about:

Trade, Buy & Sell Magic The Gathering Cards | MTG PeerTrader


On the home page, I would recommend putting the Brand name at the front:

MTG PeerTrader: Trade, Buy & Sell Magic The Gathering Cards


On other pages, I would recommend the brand name go at the end.

I would also consider removing "Trade, Buy & Sell" from the page title and putting them exclusively in the meta description.

MTG PeerTrader: Magic the Gathering Cards
