I just let it auto assign the name, deck box, avatar so they are all Jace, in the desert and Deck [##]. There's quite a few days where I just spin the wheel of decks and play whatever I land on. Then I try to figure out what deck it is as I play it (which sometimes is tough when they're janky brews with little testing). Sometimes I think the Jace/Desert theme/ no frill sleeves/lands etc favors me when opponents assume I'm new (or seem to take me for granted). Then again some of those brews probably confirm those suspicions

What kind of deck did you name after me?

Edit : Even better, what kind of deck would you name after all the folks around here?

Elk's was easy. "The life and times of Gay Gayerson''

What sort of deck is it?

5 colour control

This one got 100 points

I'm sorry Mr. Simmons, what was that?


Hey........wait a minute.......how'd NightHawk know? That's what you get for trusting Barney with your secret deck tech.

I forgot to mention that all Jeskai decks are name Jessica. Like, a Jeskai mill deck will be Jessica Miller, and I also have Jessica Drago running these days.

Funny, I named a Jeskai control deck Jessica for similar reasons. When my wife was in the room watching me pick that deck I told her I named it after her because it wants to control everything. Ahh that was the start of a fun conversation.

I had been working on a Dimir artifact deck for the deck building contest that played off Tezzeret's Touch and other artifact animation cards and ol Tez himself. I was planning on naming the deck Show me where Tezzeret touched you. Alas it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't get the deck to behave the way I wanted it to with the color restriction we have for the contest. Of course that would have been difficult to type into the limited characters we have, probably would have called it "show me" for short.

I had fun naming the deck I actually entered in the contest but I can't give that away just yet.
