Just... the fact that Lazav can pretend to be Chandra by simply being Lazav and having an Izzit Flamethrower has made Lazav hands down my favorite Plainswalker now. (Also yes, I know he's not a Plainswalker, but goodness can he pretend to be one.)
@@KingTaltia Not having read the book, the first time I read that I thought that Lazav wasn't even bothering to shapeshift, he just walked around with a cloak shooting fire and everyone thought "Oh, that must be Chandra" and that is my headcanon now.
Yeah, when the team who had to confront the Immortal Sun engaged with Dovin, Lazav was disguised as Chandra, so the real Chandra could take Dovin by surprise
How sad that Ral Zarek, Storm Conduit didn't get Ben Wheeler's nickname, The Electric Gay Prince. Also, super sad that when I opened a Sarkhan in one of my Friday Night Drafts, I made the Trogdor reference and then had to slowly explain what Homestar Runner was to the person I was playing.
I only learned recently that Angrath's daughters are fully grown so the thought that they're celebrating a birthday with a cake in the middle of the beacon is heartbreaking cause hes trying to make up for lost time :'(
So a joke I had heard when they showed the original cat with eternalize was bolas grand standing saying “bring me your strongest warriors, that Minotaur that wrecked my trials. That Khenra shaking the ground with his spear. And that cat! Bring me that cat!”
I am disheartened that nobody looked at Bond of Flourishing and came up with "Life and Limb(s)". Otherwise loving the nicknames so far, haven't gotten to the rest of them yet.
19:17 Just a little context, Chandra was able to beat Dovin because Lazav was disguised as Chandra when; Chandra, Lavinia, Lazav and Saheeli went to shut off the immortal sun.
1:19:17 I really wanted it to be “Prince of Cats,” or another nickname Mercutio has for Tybalt. Or “Tibalt, the duelist.” Or “Tibalt, the dog, the rat, the mouse, the cat, to scratch a man to death!” Or “Tibalt the braggart, the rogue, the villain, that fights by the book of arithmetic!"
@@Archangel72985 Danny Phantom was a cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon in the mid-aughts. Basically, the title character (real name: Danny Fenton) is the son of a couple of serial-numbers-filed-off ghostbusters, and an accident in their lab did something something technobabble something something ectoplasm DNA something something and now he's half-ghost and gets to be the local superhero. "I'm going ghost" was his transformation phrase to go "full" ghost. Hence, the association with Kaya's Ghostform. If I remember correctly, LRR have mentioned (on a DB sometime?) that Canada doesn't (or hasn't tended to) get Nickelodeon so that's probably why they've never seen it.
I believe that I was the one who tweeted at graham, I didn't order the same thing, just I made two orders, at the same time from CK and a different site, and the day the CK order arrived, the competitor's order shipped. that's how silly fact CK is
After a short google search, apparently us Irish did in fact say, "Top o' the mornin' to ya!" So your ancestors in fact were not lying to you, Nelson 😂
I use stealth mission in a UG proliferate deck, so whenever I cast I say something along the lines of, “so, I’m sending my giant, street-filling crocodile on a stealth mission...”

RE using the subreddit for nicknames: I still feel that older submissions might get more votes due to being around longer, but contest mode definitely seemed to have gone a long way to fixing that issue. Also, I realised literally this morning that I missed an opportunity to call the Silent Sub the UU-Boat
32:25, Nelson's Nickname for EvoSage reminds me of the 3ps comic where Matt's all: I'VE GOT TO PLANT THINGS~. "On Spring". Bus me, Cam's Jurrasic Park Theme-CRUNCH. was really good. XD.
Blast Zone could also have been "King's Landing." Widespread Brutality could have been "Drakaris!!" Also, lol@ "Tabernacle Fart", as well as "some random ravnican in the corner: "Just f*ck already!"
Ok, here's my issue with the subreddit thing: Technically contest mode makes it so that earlier published things don't show up on top, but earlier submitted nicknames are still there for longer meaning that more people will see them and thus upvote them. I think that the best way to handle it is to keep the current arrangement and have an LRR representative look through the comments and pick one, like you did with submissions in the past. That way it doesn't matter when you put nicknames in and we get nicknames that aren't necessarily just catering to the average redditor.
For proof of this, look at how a good portion of nicknames are from a select few users. Contest mode certainly helps the issue, but doesn't come close to fixing it.
Mine weren't first picks, but some of them got in! Nissa's Re-Zoning Application, Smacking your opponent's hand away from their deck, Green Bear Packer. This was fun!
Something I liked about the original way the nicknames were done is that they were distinctly yours. The nicknames we're getting now aren't bad, but it feels less like a true lrr product
I miss the crew doing their own nicknames, though with editing the Great Road Trip I can see there's no energy to do that. One day, return to the LRR-created nicknames please when ya can, the internet is simply not as good as you :)
Don’t feel too bad, I did mine a week ago, and every one of these where old ones that were clearly collected way before mine was posted. Looks like they only waited a couple of days:(
Always feels great when my names get used for these - especially pleased that my goofy jokes with the Weirds got used. But Graham, if you don't want to read the whole username, that's cool, just pleeeeeaaaaase go with JD rather than Codename. Because... the bit is that JD IS the codename. ^_^
I'm proud of the three that I got in. I'm also proud that I got Cameron to visibly cringe with the dummy thicc joke. Also for those not on Reddit, the one nickname for Finale of Eternity references that commodoreHustle episode where Beej smacks Cameron with a ladle.

Lazav was disguised as Chandra for half of the book
Well, for one scene, really. It was pretty cool though

People might know that if anyone had read the book
Yeah, when the team who had to confront the Immortal Sun engaged with Dovin, Lazav was disguised as Chandra, so the real Chandra could take Dovin by surprise
In the War of the Spark book, Lasav disguises as Chandra to help her take out Dovin.
That’s not a teenage pyromancer, it’s a creepy old dude with a flamethrower.
-Dovin, probably
Just had to make sure someone made this comment

Good job emily

I‘m AMAZED there weren‘t any highly voted comments on Massacre Girl referencing Lord Godfrey
The reason lazav is top for Chandra is that lazav disguises as her in the book
Maybe they didn't want to spoil it, so they played it straight.
Delete this or add a warning if you would support that.

...For a nickname I didn't submit. Sorry, AlonsoSwift.
49:26 " the Scranton wrangler"
Erratic Visionary is actually a couple layers of nickname with the first one being “Erotic Visionary”.
Chandra getting nicknamed Lazav is a story moment - they tricked Dovin by having Lazav pose as Chandra using an Izzet flamethrower.
Could y’all do a WAR draft with only these nicknames

How did no one suggest "Catch these Sarkhands" for Sarkhan's Catharsis?

Niv-Mizzet the White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green.

53:33 Is that a Roll20 Dungeon of the Mad Mage reference?
Especially liked Casualties of War.

I hear you there Nelson. With the Scat-man joke.
Not even done the video yet. Slapcaster Mage was Rivals of Ixalan
I've been a fan of Bitter-Bolas-om for Dreadhorde Invasion.
But Chandra WAS Lazav all along. That's how they got Dovin.
For “honor the god pharaoh”, I’d also suggest “torture dance”
That Dummy Thicc reference was great
My nickname for Challenger Troll would have been "Debate me, you coward!"
58:53 : niv-mizzet the white,,,,,, blueblackredgreen
54:28 I don't think I get the reference, could someone link the source material for me please?
Chandra is Lazar because in the book when they go to kill Dovin. Lazar pretends to be Chandra by using a flame thrower to distract him.
In light of the gesture Ashiok is making, I want to call it "Mind if I smoke?"
