The name for this deck comes from a judge call. As you may guessed if you skim through the list or have run other chaos decks before, judge calls are common for this strategy. Here is the story that led to this deck living in infamy:

It was a traditional Maelstrom Wanderer game with me just casting random jank and seeing what happened until I resolved a Dream Halls. The game quickly deteriorated into a cancerous mass of incomprehensible garbage. Maelstrom Wanderer did his thing and cascaded into stuff that made the game confusing. After casting the 12th spell on my turn, I passed to an opponent. Due to Shared Fate, they had to draw from another player's library and they decided to take cards from the voltron player's deck. This will be important later. The turn cycle went on from here for a few turns and through some shenanigans with clone effects and two different Knowledge Pools it eventually got back to the previously mentioned player. In a hope to knock me out of the game and let the rest of the table actually play Magic: the Gathering instead of the cancer that my deck was forcing, they cast the voltron player's Eldrazi Conscription onto their commander (due to previous attacks, this would have given it more than enough to be lethal against me. Naturally, the Knowledge Pool took it and gave them something else but they followed it with a Birds of Paradise to actually get their Eldrazi Conscription. But another opponent hoping to get the conscription for themselves cast a Swords to Plowshares in response to the Knowledge Pool's trigger. Here we ended up having to call the judge over to confirm which Knowledge Pool would take the StP and what he could replace it with. Due to the Active player/Nonactive player ruling and the fact that different people controlled the Knowledge Pools, his StP went underneath the other Knowledge Pool. He thought briefly and chose to replace his spell with Grip of Chaos. After that resolved, the other player attempted to resolve his Eldrazi Conscription. It's target was reselected at random due to the Grip of Chaos and the random number generator on the judge's phone reselected it to my Storm Crow. The entire store went quiet, and even the Standard players stopped what they were doing to see what had just happened after overhearing this. The judge then contemplated it for a moment and said "God is Dead," then walked away from the game, very likely to hide as far from us as possible to avoid being called back the next time a spell was cast.
