commander nicknames

Social forum

Posted on March 5, 2015, 5:49 a.m. by GoofyFoot

Just bored, thinking of fun Nicknames for commanders/ deck names.

Things like Stangg = spin doctors. :p

Or Sen Triplets = destiny's child (or the Dixie chicks :p)

Anyone else got any good ones? Don't necessarily have to be music related, but that's the first type of thing I think of.

I pretty much refuse to pronounce Progenitus correctly, instead saying Pro-gen-ITUS, like he's a disease.

That's the only commander I really have a nickname for. It's strange now that I think about it. I'm all for nicknames but I don't use any for cards for some reason. I should change that.

mikemega You mean Xenagod. Xenagoose is the planeswalker.

I love playing some Japanese Spitz EDH. Isamaru, Hound of Konda is such an adorable puppy.

Odric, Master Tactician is Russell Crowe. You know, because of the movie Master and Commander. I mean, he is both the Master (of tactics) and Commander (of the deck). Yeah... pretty dry...

Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon is Skittles but I feel most people know that since so many people seem to have trouble pronouncing it.

Child of Alara is Angry Baby, which can also usually be used to describe the people playing it ;)

Not much of a nick name but people always refer to my Kaalia Kaalia of the Vast deck as, excuse my language, bitch and sometimes bitch of the Vast lol.

Kaalia pretty much translates to "some gabbage" in finnish :)

Maybe I should try and start the nickname great cabbage lord? or maybe Kaalia of the Vast cabbage fields?

When I combo out or sneak a 1 shot kill in with my Urborg School for Mimes, I call it a Mimeogasm. Though, my friends usually refer to it as '!The Blob!'.
