I like the fact that the peak of modern humor is making people GROOAAAN like they're week-old cadavers noisily deflating after being fished out of a river.
Shadow of the Grave -> Second Sunset. Wander in Death -> As I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I take a look at my yard and realize there's two dude left. But that's just perfect for this black sorcery. You know I tap all that mana 2 generic B. Wayward Servant -> Carrion My Wayward Son. Prepare // Fight -> Let's Get Down to Business // Defeat the Huns
These jokes have probably already been made, but: Cartouche of Solidarity = "Friendship Bracelet", Regal Caracal = "Chairman Meow", and Gravedigger = "Man, I can't believe he ACTUALLY retired at Wrestlemania."
I really want to see “it’s always sunny in amonkhet” “The gang summons Nicol Bolas” “The gang is eaten by a sand worm” “The gang desecrates a gravesite”
Dear Drs. LRR - would you be opposed to a comment (or series of comments, not sure if youtube has a length limit) of a transcribed list of the cards and their nicknames? It's nice to be able to look back at the different cards, but wanted to clear it with you first. Thanks for the lovely nicknames!
Doomed Dissenter = ""If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine!" "I dunno... I can imagine more than two of you.""
Scarab feast = bugwheel (like bigwhel and u cycle it) Kefnet is Boi, not deem worthy. Deem worthy is Roasted (cuz its similar to roast). Magnlehorn = Imposing Sovhorn Synchronized Strike = Double Take Trial of Strength = PACERTEST Aven Wind guide = Windcon Enigma Drake = More life or less life? Merciless Javlineer = Cownters Neheb = Nehebby is worthy of the bag Dusk // Dawn = Weenie Wipe Commit // Memory = Effective Studying Never // Return = Totally lost or journey to nowhere Destined // Lead = Come with me if you want to be unblocked! Gate to the Afterlife = God-Pharoah left me unfinished Also 1:19:00 was hilarious
I call Hieroglyphic Illumination "Burst Brightening", because it's very similar to Burst Lightning, but it draws cards and the name makes reference to light
NO! Regal Caracl is Kitten of the Watch. You may not change his name. Also Alex, those are not Shotels. They're Khopeshes. Slightly different sword. What about "Second Sunset" for Shadow of the Grave?
Can I just say thank you for doing this one is set order? It's been driving me slightly nuts that you didn't, especially because it caused confusion each time with the Planeswalker Decks.
Essence Scatter could be "Trashed and Scattered", since it's a hard counter. The reference is to an Avenged Sevenfold song. :3 Also, G: that's like almost exclusively a Minnesota/Wisconsin accent, speaking as a midwesterner who lives in neither of those states. xD
Yeah but Yugi's the one that opened the puzzlebox, which is what that guy's doing. Edit: Never mind, you were responding to Alex's derp a few seconds later.
Kathleen is right. Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here are Pink Floyd's masterpieces, Another Brick In The Wall is good but clearly not as good. Also, Yay, I got a nickname in! I was the one who suggested Sir Not Appearing In This Draft!
"Why would you play a card that dies to 4 Doom Blades" is quite possibly the funniest thing you guys have said
fun fact: if you use fan bearer's ability on a 2/2, it becomes a bear fanner.
I like the fact that the peak of modern humor is making people GROOAAAN like they're week-old cadavers noisily deflating after being fished out of a river.
~Says in a bright, cheery voice~ Those are called bad puns!
Badum tsssss
The pun for a very small Knightly Valour is obviously "Slightly Valor."
How about Squire-ly Valor?
I like either "Slightly Valor" or maybe "Knightly Valet" if your playing it in a vehicle deck.
I was gonna go for initiate's valor, given the plane
DaMullet Squirely Valor?
Just rewatching this episode and I was about to comment that. I guess dumb minds think alike XD
Shadow of the Grave -> Second Sunset.
Wander in Death -> As I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I take a look at my yard and realize there's two dude left. But that's just perfect for this black sorcery. You know I tap all that mana 2 generic B.
Wayward Servant -> Carrion My Wayward Son.
Prepare // Fight -> Let's Get Down to Business // Defeat the Huns
criticalsquire Those names are dope!
I wish I'd read this before I suggested the exact same thing.
Is the wander in death one by any chance from the Hollywood Undead song Hear Me Now?
Trav gaffney It's from the song Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio.
That prepare // fight is just perfect
These jokes have probably already been made, but: Cartouche of Solidarity = "Friendship Bracelet", Regal Caracal = "Chairman Meow", and Gravedigger = "Man, I can't believe he ACTUALLY retired at Wrestlemania."
Calling Compulsory Rest "United Airlines" is just too good. And it's even semi-official!
Approach of the Second Sun: Even a bad card is right twice a game.
"A-New-Abyss" is a super good nickname for the Egyptian set. Props.
*gasps* The layers! =O
Glorious End: "Hold my beer,"
Am I the only one who laughed for like half an hour at the "crime is cancelled" joke
Sandwurm Convergence: the spice must flow
Funny; for Dune Beetle I was thinking 'The shit must flow..."
I was thinking: "We have worm-sign!"
Mouth//Feed will forever be Smashmouth to me and there's nothing anyone can do to change that
StarchyLarchy Fed // The Rules
I really want to see “it’s always sunny in amonkhet”
“The gang summons Nicol Bolas”
“The gang is eaten by a sand worm”
“The gang desecrates a gravesite”

Wow, Graham does a great Gibb impression.
I called Gideon of the Trials, "Chad of the Exams"
I always call Hapatra Crazy Snake Lady. She's like a crazy cat lady, but for snakes.
Graham's zombie beetle voice is on point
Doomed Dissenter = ""If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine!" "I dunno... I can imagine more than two of you.""
Scarab feast = bugwheel (like bigwhel and u cycle it)
Kefnet is Boi, not deem worthy. Deem worthy is Roasted (cuz its similar to roast).
Magnlehorn = Imposing Sovhorn
Synchronized Strike = Double Take
Trial of Strength = PACERTEST
Aven Wind guide = Windcon
Enigma Drake = More life or less life?
Merciless Javlineer = Cownters
Neheb = Nehebby is worthy of the bag
Dusk // Dawn = Weenie Wipe
Commit // Memory = Effective Studying
Never // Return = Totally lost or journey to nowhere
Destined // Lead = Come with me if you want to be unblocked!
Gate to the Afterlife = God-Pharoah left me unfinished
Also 1:19:00 was hilarious
Bone Picker MUST be "Delver of Beak-rets."
As foretold - "Imagine a curve........"
Grabby Sands literally got me kicked out of bed because I couldn't stop laughing and my wife was trying to sleep.
"Carry on my Wayward Servant"
Well I'm defininitely gonna use grabby sands and the corresponding sound effect
How do you type that sound effect though O.o??
1:00:00 I nicknamed it "the gods love child (rhonas and oketra)", but long cat sounds better
This show makes me so happy. Thank you lrr!
if you read the on gatherer the rulings for insult//injury it says How Rude at the end of the 3rd one from the top, so good nickname for that card.
Kefnet's human hands are the best thing on Amonkhet.
Yugi wasn't Egyptian, Yami was
Whenever I see fan bearer, I immediately think 'Fan service!', said in an over-the-top camp accent.
I call Hieroglyphic Illumination "Burst Brightening", because it's very similar to Burst Lightning, but it draws cards and the name makes reference to light
"No running in the hallways" from Kaladesh is cemented in my playgroup
gram, you've gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaarrrrtttyyy
both Glorious End and Glorybringer are basically fire up the GLORIOUS theme also champ Rhonas as Cena is the +1 cause you can't see 'em
Can't believe you didn't think of Ripley's Believe It Or Not for Curator of Mysteries.
57:38 Good taste in comics LRR. :)
for shadow shadow of the grave i would have gone for "actual (/literal) death's shadow"
also the background zombie in stir the sands is a naga.
exaveron It sure looks like a derp beetle
NO! Regal Caracl is Kitten of the Watch.
You may not change his name.
Also Alex, those are not Shotels. They're Khopeshes. Slightly different sword.
What about "Second Sunset" for Shadow of the Grave?
Appreciating the UK fanservice today, I remember those lottery ads!
CardKingdom should program these nicknames into their search engine.
Can I just say thank you for doing this one is set order? It's been driving me slightly nuts that you didn't, especially because it caused confusion each time with the Planeswalker Decks.
"he has a long refractory period" killed me. Nearly literally. Sprayed Dr. Pepper from my nose. It BUUURNED
I propose "WITNESS ME!" as the nickname for Hazoret's Fervor. Too good to pass up.
WELCOME TO ZOMBOMOM
For "Greater Sandworm" on the same vein I call it worm sign or "We have worm sign the likes of which god himself has never seen."
OMG!!! "Fling-Tongue Kavu" I am using the heck out of that!
Clearly it should be Bounty of the Lucksack....
Essence Scatter could be "Trashed and Scattered", since it's a hard counter. The reference is to an Avenged Sevenfold song. :3 Also, G: that's like almost exclusively a Minnesota/Wisconsin accent, speaking as a midwesterner who lives in neither of those states. xD
LeviathanStorm38 whenever I play it now I'm just going to say " trashed and scattered again you're feeling so low"
devoted crop mate: speak like Arnold Swartzeneger, "Give Me Your Hand!"
The most recent Friday Nights makes me want to call Honored Hydra "Taxonomy Nightmare".
Graham's Fargo accent for the Hekma cards are so good :)
I looked into Spoopifer's eyes and went on a journey during this episode.
So, super late to realize this. I was re-watching and I looked closely at the art. The “beetle” in Stir the Sands is actually a Naga zombie.
Curator of Mysteries....my mind immediately went "Robert Stack!" for a nickname.
Hah, I had a different thought for Pyramid of the Pantheon.
"Brick Lotus"
The Grasping Dunes nickname would make for hysterical crapshots
Late to realize this, by a mile. The “beetle” in Stir the Sands is actually a Naga zombie with a torn cloth on top of its hood
Did Gib ever do a stream? can I watch that back somewhere?
Thanks you LRR!!!!
The first thing I thought of for Regal Caracal was Lord of Catlantis.
While GG Bringer is an A+ nickname for Glorybringer I've personally taken to singing the first bit of Bobby Roode's music whenever it hits the field.
Approach of the Second Sun should be "Here comes Bolas!"
For Shadow of the Grave, may I submit: "The Skeleton was in You All Along"
Actually I'm pretty sure Yugi is meant to be Japanese. The pharaoh that lives in his body is Egyptian, tho :/
Yeah but Yugi's the one that opened the puzzlebox, which is what that guy's doing.
Edit: Never mind, you were responding to Alex's derp a few seconds later.
I feel there was a missed opportunity not call Fling "Fastball Special"
19:32 - "Why would you play a card that dies to 4 doom blades?"
I have a pyramid of the pantheon in my Sahili commander deck, and I still call it builded lotus
Vizier of the menagerie should be called doctor do-little
Fan Bearer: He's not my biggest fan, but he's carrying it
"Break Stuff" was Limp Bizkit. That nickname wasn't quite cool enough yet.
I lost it on Cast Out. Too good.
I'm surprised that Graham didn't go with a Bobby Rood joke for Glorious End.
so LRRMTG tonight will just be wall to wall "rahmarahmama!" noises right?
Gideon's Intervention Should be; "Dude, this is an intervention. You can't keep playing (card name.) It's not good for you."
Shed Weakness could also be: Essentially Giant Growth
I like calling Plague Belcher "Got lost on the way to New Phyrexia". It really looks like that's where it belongs.
Pitiless Vizier - Good thing I'm indestructible
I really enjoyed Alex's Berk Referendum at minute 66 and a half
16:34 They have the same amount of usefulness
Disapointed that Curator of Mysteries didn't get called "Scrycler"
Approach of the Second Sun: Here Comes the Sun
I died at the Neheb nickname.
We call Nimble Blade Khenra Booker T, because he looks like he's legit about to hit a spinaroonie
Question: on mighty leap's art, how did she get up there?
For By Force, Break Stuff is Limp Bizkit not Linkin Park, Linkin Park had the song Break
why has no one called regal caracal "catpain of the watch"?
Kathleen is right. Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here are Pink Floyd's masterpieces, Another Brick In The Wall is good but clearly not as good.
Also, Yay, I got a nickname in! I was the one who suggested Sir Not Appearing In This Draft!
Thank you so much LoadingReadyRun, this made my day! I was having a really horrible time today, and hearing this made it so much better!
Whenever I hear Scorpinok I just think of Beast Wars. Which is great as it means when he attacks I can say Scorpinok! TERRORIZE!
How is Regal Caracal not called "Chairman Meow"? :p
So is a naga a taco, or a burrito?
Oh and Kathleen, you actually are referring to Truckenstein's monster.
I personally like bicycle lands for the cycling dual lands.
Would "Cool Off!" be better for Fan Barer?
But can one search the Card Kingdom catalogue by the nickname?
It has arrived, and so have I.
Manglehorn is also the name of a Pacino film.
re: glyph keeper, normally a terrible card, but using bloodlust inciter to target the keeper so you can hit it with removal is soooooo satisfying.
Is it weird that the way Graham said "Oh he(c)k no" reminded me that you're Canadian?
Illusory Wrappings kind of looks like The Blue Miles.
Why did you go for the Astral Glide instead of Flightning Rift?
