So apologies for a somewhat off rules topic question, but why are Obzedat, Ghost Council and especially Ghost Council of Orzhova referred to as "ghost dad"? I am newish to magic, and thus far, no one can explain the mentality on this one, or how the nickname originated. Is it some sort of inside joke, or in universe tale? Is the ghost council referred to as father? (being the administraters of the church of orzhova) Someone throw me a bone here. o.O
Also I think this question would be better served in the General forum, as this is for rules questions.

Ghost Dad is the title of a Bill Cosby movie. As I recall, it was the nickname that Ghost Council of Orzhova got way back in the first Ravnica block. Although it is highly appropriate as the spirits on the council are referred to as the Patriarchs in the novels.
