@@DeviltoGeorgia34 as much as that would be cool, I doubt it since Tarkir's 5 clans are based on different Asian civilisations and Kaalia's name does not follow any Asian naming conventions
@12:30 About cards caring about names: There's the Brothers Yamazaki, which affects the legend rule; Hedron Alignment, that cares what zones the named cards are in; Approach of the Second Sun, that cares about whether a spell with that name was cast previously; Sengir Nosferatu, whose bat grabs him back from exile (cool flavor on that card); and maybe the weirdest ones -- the Conspiracy cards Noble Banneret, Paliano Vanguard, and Smuggler Captain which require you to note a name *during draft* for use later, which is bonkers! So I think they'd be fine playing around with that design space for Bag of Holding. Ironically, they probably just didn't have enough room.
That moment when you get your card nickname featured in the nickname episode and you cheer to yourself!! Awesome stuff as always guys, keep up the fantastic work!!
having now seen the episode, I FINALLY GOT ONE IN! ironically, it was one of the ones I was more certain wouldn't make it, and some of the ones I was proud of, and thought might make honorable mentions just flopped, apparently, but hey! progress!
Kaalia was first created as a commander for one of the first cycle of precon commander decks, brought an angel, demon or dragon into play whenever she attacked. I believe her lore was that she was a cleric who lost everything, and in her quest to pursue vengeance opened herself up to just ALL the most OP powers of the multiverse. Her precon deck probably costs stupid money on eBay now. Same cycle as the original bird wizard, I think.

Making the "Bag of Holding in a Bag of Holding" interaction work would just require an edit to the first ability on Bag of Holding: "Whenever you discard a card, exile that card from your graveyard. If a card named Bag of Holding is exiled this way, exile Bag of Holding." This would automatically strand everything you've already exiled because you have to use the third ability to get everything back, and that kind of checking for a card with a specific name is definitely something they've done before.
But you can put a bag of holding in a bag of holding no problem. It's a *portable hole* that'll devastate everything if you put it in the bag of holding...

I believe the original "___y Mc___face" was Hooty McOwlface, so yes they're allowed to be different although no-one seems to take advantage of that any more.
It was never stated in any official lore how Kaalia got her wings, however it is stated that as a cleric she began consorting with any power that would ally with her in her war against the demon Nefarox hence the wings from different tribes being boons granted to her by angels, demons and dragons.
What I've noticed most in this set is people not understanding how protection works. Particularly when trying to block a trampling red creature with cerulean drake, which just means I do full damage.
Bishop of Wings should also be called 'no, wait, this doesn't combo with Angelic Accord? But...but...it should!' At least as someone who was trying for reliable 4 life gain for that card, this seems to be mocking me :)
On how the dudes on Battalion Foot Soldier don't look like they're running - These guy all look to me like prep school fencing students who aren't used to running anywhere. Just look at the guy in front; that guy's name has to be something like "Preston Smythe the Third."

Octopus has two plurals from both Greek and Latin, those being octopi and octopodes
And octopusses from English!
The Latin plural is also "octōpodēs", itself inherited from the Greek.
Wow! Several of my suggestions actually made it onto this list. That’s really cool!

"If a card named Bag of Holding is exiled by this effect, exile this card ( All cards exiled by this card remain in exile )"

Full damage minus 1, as per 702.19b. You still have to assign lethal damage to the drake, even though it will be prevented.
