Best Deck Names
General forum
Posted on Sept. 25, 2013, 4:25 p.m. by TrollNtrample
Even though my time here has been brief, I've seen some incredibly clever, as well as hilarious, deck names. So I wanted to ask, what's some of the best deck names you've seen or created yourself. Feel free to link the decks :)

I name my decks after songs from bands that I like, (bands like the acacia strain, immure, suicide silence, slayer). I sit for days with a generic name for the deck on here, then after a while, I drop a name on it that fits. For instance, the deck "solar flare homicide" is my old solar flare deck, named after the Emmure song. JFC (Jesus Fucking Christ) is my pre rotation Jund deck, named after an Acacia Strain Jam.
My most current named deck is called Staypuft. Its a golgari build that relies on making my dudes pretty big through Varolz or scavenging ooze or desecration demon.
I haven't seen nothing though that really gets my attention as far as really funny names. I see usernames that are hilarious.
By the way, when is anyone going to allow youtube embeds back onto the deck descriptions??? I have to add the theme songs to a couple decks. You know, so people can get the feel for what the deck is supposed to do while reading it.

I'm with gnarlicide on this, a lot of my decks use music, I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against The Machine for a while so I have 2 decks Sleep Now In The Fire! and Renegades of Funk!, the other have more sarcastic names and things that have to do with ridiculous settings I Counter Your Land...Wait What? being my main standard deck for now, and my pre-rotation favorite My 20/20 Lingering Soul Attacks..

yeah I remember the buttsex one. I used to test against it with newer decks that I made to see if I could defend against aggro-ish strategies. Then one day I built it for fun and tore absolute ass around the shop. Took first with out even trying. It was insane.

HAIL, LOBOTOMITE. if you've played Old World Blue in Fallout: New Vegas
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS Mr. Bones Wild Ride anyone?
Give me all of your bacon and eggs Ron Swanson
Mojave Blues Another New Vegas thing.
And that's about all of mine that have fun names. As for ones I've found that I like,
I'm Going On An Adventure! You must say this every time Norin gets exiled.
So yeah. Fun names. Also I don't know why Binary Fission came up as if I used deck-large because I didn't use it.

Yea it was my first successful deck, I have been playing exactly 1 year this month, at the time I made this deck I went to an I.Q. at my local shop for starcity because I wanted to see what big events looked like. I threw the deck together that morning by going "I like this creature, this one this one... these spells cool all powerful shit that seems fun" I entered the tourney just for the experience and steam rolled everyone I played and at the time it was February I think so I'd only been playing a few months. the deck was insanely powerful and efficient I felt bad because I was destroying some veterans at the shop and I only entered to have fun... Lol

47 Men and a Fucked Up Baby is my personal favorite, if a bit lowbrow.

dantares25 don't feel bad, man. I threw together a deck during the first ravnica block 2 hours before a tournament and took first. It was funny, it pissed a ton of people off because there was nothing that they could do about it. Thats what makes the game fun, is the randomness that sometimes catches people off guard.

I really like this topic, thanks TrollNtrample :) I'm with gnarlicide and CW with the whole music thing but sometimes I just have random ass things pop into my head like my sheoldred edh is now she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly but was first named Sheoldred's Smelly Puss.. don't ask. Sadly, my highest rated deck is actually because of the name, robin sparkles is a How I Met Your Mother reference that I didn't think anybody would get but I was wrong. Btw gnarlicide, your taste in music is pretty solid \m/

Thanks Panda213, yeah I get down to some brutal jams. Sometimes I make time for some Wu-Tang Clan though.

@HarbingerJK - I legitimately laughed out loud after reading those deck names.
@PhageTheUnbeatable - Yours too. You're A Mean One, Mister Vig is hilarious lol.
I'm glad you guys are enjoying this thread. I saw a deck earlier named Chimera Me A River, and that's actually what brought on this idea.

I also play casually every once and a while with a local guy, and his legacy deck is called "my ex-girlfriend" -- aptly named, because that deck is a b*tch, lol.

Damn, I actually just updated my Progenitus deck on here. But my deck name Brogenitus has already been taken lol. For future reference, anyone know how to slug a deck with multiple names on here?

I usually use some pun or pop culture reference that refers to the centerpiece or the theme of the deck. If I find out someone already has a deck by the same name (seen from the URL), I immediately rename the deck. MUST HAVE ORIGINALITY!
Some of my deck names:
Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes?
Cats in the Cradle & Cats and the Silverspoon
You don't wanna wake The Dragon
I put on my robe and wizard hat
Rofl-Thopter, a Modern Accomplishment
I love the smell of Nalaar in the morning
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie
and many more, see my profile :P
