Fairly certain Alex deserves an award for "Most Impromptu Nicknames That Actually Made Us Laugh in a Single Podcast." Might be difficult to shuffle onto a single trophy though.
firstly, I would think "swarm crow" would be mist intruder from BFZ, since it's a 1/2 flier for 1U. second, I've been referring to Nissa as the Villager from Animal Crossing, since, like the character does in Smash Bros., she plants trees and then beats you to death with them if given time to get the move to work.
I'll toss in agreement on the chat suggestions hurting the flow. I quite liked some of them however, so I'll equally toss in an agreement on maybe using it as crowd sourcing.
I like the idea of the chat nicknames, but I think it really hurts the flow of the show, which is where at least part of the comedy comes from. In all the best nickname shows, they build a rhythm which picks up throughout the show, and this one felt lacking. Maybe just read the ones chat comes up with when they're specifically hilarious? Or have them show up in a lower third? You guys are much smarter than me, and I agree there is something here with the crowd sourcing, just keep at it. Looking forward to the SOI pre-prerelease and eventual nickname show! :)
so about end bringer when i did two headed giant, me and my team mate opened one as our promo rares... then we got a third in our packs.... my team mate ran a blue/black eldrazi deck with 3 endbringers in it... we went undefeated.
Stormchaser mage looks like spiderman with the lightning as the webs so what about: "Spider man, Spider man. He shoots lightning from his hands." (Courtesy of Jason from my lgs).
Bone Saw: "The catalogue says this baby can saw through a femur in twenty-nine seconds. I'm hoping to cut that time in half." I had the great fortune of being able to make that reference during a draft.

Ah, laughed really hard on Consuming Butthole. We call it quite close to that in our playgroup.
For Sylvan Advocate I just call him "He speak for the trees (and mountains, and islands, and swamps and plains and...)" or just the Lorax for short.
Fun fact: "Whitesmith" is actually a thing. It's an archaic name for someone who works tin.

1:03:30 - For their non-Swedish, non-Canadian viewers, "SWEEP!! HURRY HARD!!" is a reference to the sport of curling.
+Great Canadian Guy I knew it as soon as I heard then say it...and I live in the Southern States B-) It's an addiction a few of us here have.
I have been referring to Kozelik's Shrieker- or more accurately his ability- as "Use the boost to get through!"
I was hoping for "Don't Call It A Comeback" on Kozilek's Return, as that's what I say when I cast it.

I know it's not from OGW, but I use Red Claws Dead Claws (for Temur battle Rage) all the time! It's usually followed up by "Also, it's not the claws that are dead, it's you."
Nissa, Green Party of Canada or another name for Nissa, Environmentalist
"Stoneforge Missed It" is A+
Reality smasher is the demon boar at the beginning of the movie from Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke.

I've been calling Kalitas "Warm Smell", then feeling old when I have to explain the lyric AND who the Eagles were.
I love these videos! Keep up the amazing work!
They should do the duplicate lists for the small sets only to fill up time.

If I can throw a hat into the nickname ring for SOI, I think a good nickname for the new Jace would be Inspector Jace, like Inspector Gadget.
Sylvan Advocate's nickname should just be "The Lorax."
Stormchaser mage looks like spiderman with the lightning as the webs so what about: "Spider man, Spider man. He shoots lightning from his hands." (Courtesy of Jason from my lgs).
That curling reference though
Bone Saw: "The catalogue says this baby can saw through a femur in twenty-nine seconds. I'm hoping to cut that time in half."

Nissa, Voice of Zendikar: "The Lorax"
My name is nissa and I speak for the trees
Malakir Soothsayer is clearly called "Tag team"
Cam's reaction to Endbringer... XD
