Another nickname I heard for notion rain was something that someone got into trouble for singing constantly during draft “I cast the rains down in Ravnica”
Thank you! I have to use that one myself now. The hard part though will be not accidentally saying Africa instead. Although, now I really want Rain of Tears to get a re-print.
41:30 My coworker did the VFX (which everybody calls "animations" for some reason?) for Mnemonic Betrayal on Arena, and I'm very glad it gets the recognition it does! So cool!
Bugberry here. For the record, I tried to avoid Ass Trophy and went with "Your Ass is Grass". I feel kind of guilty for Dance Dance Execution getting in, because I specifically got that from the reddit page for that card's spoiler. Actually, I remember commenting on that person comment that that would make a good LRR nickname, and Graham responded to me that it might. All in all, this was great. I also really appreciate the Avatar references.
I'm a little peeved that "Two Elves in an overcoat" didn't make it in for the one centaur, and then Paul suggested the same joke, but I am stoked that I got a few in as Toastasaurus Rex.
Glaive is also an old word for a sword, it's literally the first definition that comes up when you google it, and Volkan Baga isn't a native English speaker. People have been way too upset about this.
Also, the name could have been changed after they got the art. Dunno if it was missed or they decided to use the old definition, but names aren't final when an artist gets their prompt, at least not for an uncommon equipment with no story importance.
But not for centuries. That version of glaive evolved into the word gladius. If they had called this Gladius of the Guildpact (which they totally had time to change the name), no one would have batten an eye.
When you said 'Muse featuring Drake', I first thought it was a reference to μ's (the band name in Love Live) That would be... A fair bit different. Also, the credit for "This DM Screen Is Too Big" also goes to the jokey pre-translated names, like Final Bortune
I know I said this in the comments of the last TTC, but I'll say it again here: In future, you probably shouldn't leave the submission form up for so long. Cap it at a week; possibly less, but definitely not more.
I think Wisconsin crab is a Seth, praaaabably better known SaffronOlive mispronunciation Also I get people won't, but I think it's supposed to be Voyek bodyguard
I worked too hard on this to let it go into the wind, so here was my nickname for Ral Zarek: Ral Ral Ral Zar-ek, Viceroy of the Izzet League There was a cat that could nag your thoughts Ral Ral Ral Zar-Ek, Izzet’s Beacon Bolt machine You’ll win the game when his emblem is on!
How did noone suggest "Oprah" for beamsplitter mage? "Look under your seat! You get a sure strike, YOU get a sure strike, EVERYONE GETS A SURE STRIKE!"
Only works cause escape became a keyword 5 sets later but the inescapable blaze is indeed escap-able and if ever escape returns on an uncounterable burn spell we have our name
Kudos to nelson for that deep kvaldir raider hearthstone(I assume) cut. I see you. Or maybe kvalir raider was referencing something? That's probably the case actually.
dividing up the letters is a great idea, but it does cut up naming a cycle of cards similarly, like some that have been done in the past. The lockets could've been a really cool cycle of medals or look at the times, but the cohesion fell just short, and and the guildgates were pretty poor besides the sporedoor. That being said, this is the best nickname podcast I've seen in a while, and if this quality costs that little bit of cohesion in a minority of cards, I think this is going to be absolutely amazing in future.
55:48 "Dilan, you son of a bitch" is what Arnold says to Carl Weathers in Predator before they clasp their hands together just like how they are in the art of Sworn Companions.
I have been anticipating this because I can't stop reading Etrata as Errata. EDIT: Nice to see everyone got there. Maybe Phyrexian Artist for Midnight Reaper.
I think I finally remember why I gave Arclight Phoenix 'Triple Tap' as a name, possibly because of Destiny? you get three shot and a free one after... took me a few hours to remember because it's been so long since I tried those. On one hand I wanted to do one for each card and felt a little bad when I stopped at maybe the letter C, on the other it sounds like you had more then enough suggestions to go through without me stretching for a lot of cards
i guess my suggestions got lost? as I suggested Spellvish Piper as well (and even mentioned it to Graham a while before and he did a chefs kiss) and i suggested a non-ass trophy nickname for assassin's trophy?
Maybe it's only me, but while Divine Intervention is, most likely intended to be a Boros flavored card, the flavor text itself just seems so very Selesnya.
@ 20:15 I wonder how many people realized the layers I had with this. Not only does it flow. Not only is it "which card" which you are discovering a card. The first part "Which Card?" is answered by the 2nd part "Dis Card." The 2 halves start with the same first three letters "dis" so it is "Dis" Card. Also the last bit makes you DisCard.

I love that LRR asked for help with the nicknames, and they got SO much help, that it was even more work. We're helping!
It's just Dale saying "I'm a helper" on a large scale haha
My suggestion for assassin's trophy was 'atrophy' which means to degenerate or waste away, but I guess it got lost in all the ass-trophies.
Or just "petrify." Would ya believe that name isn't taken?
@@LyricBent Could use that for Vraska's Contempt, Golden Demise, or Statue.
@@LyricBent It isn't? How the heck is that not taken already? Come on, Wizards.
mine was "Bury target permanent (under a land)"
I feel like the nickname should be something like "Man, they keep pushing creatures, they really don't print any good spells anymore."
Another nickname I heard for notion rain was something that someone got into trouble for singing constantly during draft “I cast the rains down in Ravnica”
Thank you! I have to use that one myself now. The hard part though will be not accidentally saying Africa instead.
Although, now I really want Rain of Tears to get a re-print.
Rains of Castamere
32:36 I am pretty sure Giant Spider in Spanish is Ariana Grande.
as a person who plays alot of standard, the nickname the area has adopted for deafening clarion is "Both Modes"
do my eyes deceive me? its finally here?
Glad you kept the stinger at the end with Nelson rapping. That was great.
My playgroup has “Where in the world is Lazav the Multifarious” and we sing it like the Carmen SanDiego theme
We also call Vraska Golgari Glen Ross
Golgari glen ross is really good
"Dylan you sonofabitch" was the line just before the epic handshake.
I rewatched so many TTC nickname episodes to find that Beast Whisperer nickname again. Did not disappoint.
My personal favorite nickname is for Dream Eater:
(To the tune of MGS3's SnakeEater)
🎶I'm still in in a snake, DREEEAM EEEEEATER!🎶
Fun fact: Of the 189 Pokémon that learn Dream Eater, none of them (except for the arguable exception of Dunsparce) are snakes.
Additional nickname for Enhanced Surveillance: the Patriot Act.
My submission was "Just spy harder!"
41:30 My coworker did the VFX (which everybody calls "animations" for some reason?) for Mnemonic Betrayal on Arena, and I'm very glad it gets the recognition it does! So cool!
Radical Idea -- The intersection in the Venn Diagram of Michelangelo the Renaissance man and Michelangelo the ninja turtle.
Bugberry here. For the record, I tried to avoid Ass Trophy and went with "Your Ass is Grass".

All in all, this was great. I also really appreciate the Avatar references.
Disappointed that nobody said "Kali Ma!" for "Take Heart"
There was a card in Amonkhet block (some black discard effect) that probably got that name.
Deadly Visit really caught me off guard. I really shouldn't drink while watching nickname podcasts.
I'm a little peeved that "Two Elves in an overcoat" didn't make it in for the one centaur, and then Paul suggested the same joke, but I am stoked that I got a few in as Toastasaurus Rex.
And there goes my hopes of getting any sleep tonight...As Alex would say : PISS!

I'm trying really hard to be all cynical and world-weary, but the art for Sworn Companions inspires the shit out of me.
Right? It's so nice seeing two people just being supportive and willing to help each other out with no ulterior motive in a set like Guilds.
The flight of the bumblebee is a reference to your friday night videos from like 5 years ago.
When you said 'Muse featuring Drake', I first thought it was a reference to μ's (the band name in Love Live)
That would be... A fair bit different.
Also, the credit for "This DM Screen Is Too Big" also goes to the jokey pre-translated names, like Final Bortune
I think Final Bortune was a nickname made up by Scryfall when the card didn't have a name yet.
I am more proud of getting in this podcast than my first job or graduation
Do you not know what Fahrenheit 451 is? A famous book in which books are made illegal and burned
Would have been a better story if they used dogs to eat the books instead.
He sounded iffy because the 4/5 joke was kinda loose at best. He knew the reference, or else he wouldn't have picked it.
Bookie Monster was clearly the better joke.
Nick Schmucker He was hesitant because the 1 in the nickname doesn’t really fit not because he didn’t get it
@@ladsworld He picked "bookie monster"
I know I said this in the comments of the last TTC, but I'll say it again here: In future, you probably shouldn't leave the submission form up for so long. Cap it at a week; possibly less, but definitely not more.
Alternative for Ral is “Ral Zerek 2: Electric Boogaloo”
I like spice8rack’s “This homosexual is homoelectrical!”
I think Wisconsin crab is a Seth, praaaabably better known SaffronOlive mispronunciation
Also I get people won't, but I think it's supposed to be Voyek bodyguard
Woot! I was worried I had missed this. Spent time this weekend trying to see if it had snuck out :) lol
5:28 Kathleen is just as mature as me!
I worked too hard on this to let it go into the wind, so here was my nickname for Ral Zarek:
Ral Ral Ral Zar-ek, Viceroy of the Izzet League
There was a cat that could nag your thoughts
Ral Ral Ral Zar-Ek, Izzet’s Beacon Bolt machine
You’ll win the game when his emblem is on!
11:36 When Chance for Glory was first spoiled, it was in a foreign language and got translated to "Final Bortune"
It didn't get translated to that, they couldn't translate the name so that was the nickname they gave it based on the colors and the mechanics.
How did noone suggest "Oprah" for beamsplitter mage? "Look under your seat! You get a sure strike, YOU get a sure strike, EVERYONE GETS A SURE STRIKE!"
Only works cause escape became a keyword 5 sets later but the inescapable blaze is indeed escap-able and if ever escape returns on an uncounterable burn spell we have our name
I definitely misread Wishcoin Crab as "Wisconsin Crab" the first time I saw it.
You've heard of "Elf on the Shelf," now get ready for "Darkblade on the Balustrade."
I loved Nelson's ability to recall Snow's lyrics.
Rosemane Centaur: Strong enough for a centaur, sensitive enough for a rose.
I think the rhyme for Darkblade Agent was supposed to be “you’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf. Now get ready for… Sleuth in a Booth.”
43:00 “Jumping Jellyfish” is a Spongebob reference.
I love how musical this episode is.
No, it's called FLIGHT of the Valkyries to annoy any of you that care about misquotes.
Everytime I see Devkarin Dissident, I read Dovahkiin Descendant.
For Dream Eater, I would go with the MGS switcheroo: "Lost in a snake, Dream Eater" (ba ba BA ba)
"I'm not going to read out 17 different names" -- Graham, on the episode where they are reading out 249 different names
That was actually a remarkably good Serge voice.
Goblin Cratermaker: Eldrazi Kamikaze
Many of this set's cards work wonderfully as Hearthstone references. For example, Whisper Agent = "disguised toast".
Disinformation campaign could also be: Ravnican Whispers
Kudos to nelson for that deep kvaldir raider hearthstone(I assume) cut. I see you.
Or maybe kvalir raider was referencing something? That's probably the case actually.
14:05 "Localized entirely within your game of kitchen table Magic!?"
Finally, the fabled nicknames are upon us!
There are three kinds of glaives, the polearm, the midlength sword, and the throwing disk.
The "Dillon, you son of a b****" line is indeed from Predator.
The Crab is called Wisconsin Crab because of Seth(probably better known as Saffron Olive) who you should get on a pre pre release, please.
Connive is "Can I've that",
Sonic Assault is just beatbox noises,
Tajic is DLC armour
Notion Rain, you draw cards and then you'll feel the pain, Notion Rain, put two cards into the bin again, Notion Rain
I told Card Kingdom LRR sent me, and even thought there's no more buttons I got a very nice goat token!
I'm a huge fan of "atrophy" as the nickname of Assassin's Trophy. It's super flavorful to the Golgari.
I got one of my nicknames on this one! Now if everyone wouldn't mind, my Phenax Commander deck needs a tune up.
Eater Of The Dead!!!!!
GET THIS CARD
GET IT
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
ooooh, goodie, it's here. now to sit down and find out if any of mine made the cut.
dividing up the letters is a great idea, but it does cut up naming a cycle of cards similarly, like some that have been done in the past. The lockets could've been a really cool cycle of medals or look at the times, but the cohesion fell just short, and and the guildgates were pretty poor besides the sporedoor.
That being said, this is the best nickname podcast I've seen in a while, and if this quality costs that little bit of cohesion in a minority of cards, I think this is going to be absolutely amazing in future.
Spider-spy, Spider-spy
Spies on things with its spider eyes
Does surveil
Make it grow?
You tell me
I dunno
Look out
There may be a spider-spy
For Midnight Reaper I suggest singing "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band "I'm a mid-night Reaper, I get my drawing on the run"
Kudos to Graham for getting so close pronouncing my last name.
As a resident of Wisconsin I can say we are not really known for crab. More like brats, beer and Harley Davidson.
15:20 Come on: "You've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for 'Assassin on the mezzanine'" is the goal here (i think).
55:48 "Dilan, you son of a bitch" is what Arnold says to Carl Weathers in Predator before they clasp their hands together just like how they are in the art of Sworn Companions.
Woo! One of my nicknames made it through! ^_^
For what it's worth, I'm not familiar with the works of either Muse or Drake :P
CodenameJD muse is known for “resistance”
I have been anticipating this because I can't stop reading Etrata as Errata.
EDIT: Nice to see everyone got there.
Maybe Phyrexian Artist for Midnight Reaper.
I'm very proud of mine for Expansion//Explosion: Sphinx's Red
I think I finally remember why I gave Arclight Phoenix 'Triple Tap' as a name, possibly because of Destiny? you get three shot and a free one after... took me a few hours to remember because it's been so long since I tried those. On one hand I wanted to do one for each card and felt a little bad when I stopped at maybe the letter C, on the other it sounds like you had more then enough suggestions to go through without me stretching for a lot of cards
I started with each card, then just went through and filled in the ones that has popped into my head at other times
Alternate for Trostani Discordant: "I like my Sanity, thank you very much" (b/c it's last ability negates creature theft, including itself! :v)
I may have been the one with the Lazav names... should've been doing homework but this was much more fun
i guess my suggestions got lost? as I suggested Spellvish Piper as well (and even mentioned it to Graham a while before and he did a chefs kiss) and i suggested a non-ass trophy nickname for assassin's trophy?
Rubblebelt Boar: Dentists hate her for these 4 weird tips!
I wish Murmuring Mystic had been called Vanko, after the villain in Iron Man 2, because of how many times he says he wants a bird.
I will find a way to fill any void with dong jokes
Piston-Fist Cyclops: You did what in your fist?!?!
Wooooh, FINALLY!
I had Return 2 Dust 2 for Crush Contraband. I love that spell.
My suggestion for Lotleth Giant was "Grave Merchant", which still only kinda works.
Nellie lookin fresh to death this episode!
Aaron Huggins ;;)
@@nelsonsalahub eyyy MY MAN!
I can't believe they start the episode telling us to not fill the dong void
How was Midnight Reaper's nickname not "Maurice?" (whaaa-wooow)
My personal nickname for Lazav was "Fast and Multifurious"
I'm shocked that "I'd like to take her face...off" in a Nick Cage voice wasn't the winning name for Unmoored Ego.
51:10 Oh hey, original "It's Magic!" reference.
Not sure if Graham caught that tbh, but that's understandable.
Maybe it's only me, but while Divine Intervention is, most likely intended to be a Boros flavored card, the flavor text itself just seems so very Selesnya.
Yay, my name for Book Devourer got second choice, but yeah, "Bookie Monster", is the clear winner.
Hey, Graham, when's Shadows Over Innistrad nicknames episode?
“Bolt the Bird!!!” Best name ever!!!
I wasn't fast enough to submit "pisty fisty break your wristies"
I'm glad at least one of my nicknames got in. Yay, closure! ("Future Slight" for Experimental Frenzy)
I dont remember writing wand of vertebrae...
But I was proud of Nightveil Sprite.
I'm about two months too late, but... Dimir Informant: "Surveilor of Means"
Got 2! Hell yea! Good to finally see this as well :)

"I don't think you people understand how clever I am, let me explain..."
@@StarkMaximum I actually meant that question seriously. I'm just proud of the name. I didn't mean negatively imply others were not clever.
They chose my suggestion for Nullhide Ferox and Trostani Discordant. Is good day my friends.
