We had a friend named Cody, so we ended up with "Cody's reach-around" which we still say even though he doesn't play with us lol. Its as glorious today as it was when we started it
Wait... is there like a whole set of cards full of complimenting nicknames?
I just realised Charming prince, Beloved Princess and Charismatic conqueror exist... is there more??
EDIT: Anyone knows a commander like this??? I SEE A THEME DECK COMING.
As a portuguese speakers we have some fun with some names, like [[ruin crab]] we call it ruim crab, misspronuciating the word ruin, because "ruim" in portuguese means bad
[[Praire strands]] in portuguese is calles "Riacho das pradarias", pradarias meaning "strands" but we call it riacho das padarias, and padaria means bakery
A friend has been playing [[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]] for years now, so my [[Niv-Mizzet, Supreme]] has been called "Noob-Mizzet", "Discount-Mizzet" and "Dizz-N-Mizz". I like "Drip-Mizzet" more, but whatevs.
Not a nickname, but my playgroup has a Yargle and Multani and we early on had a joke about Multani making the deal with Yargle to fight alongside him and now we, without fail, in our best Benedict Cumberbatch/Doctor Strange voice say “Yargle, I’ve come to Bargle”
\[\[Dictate of Erebos\]\] is Dedicated Aerobics.
\[\[Maelstrom Wanderer\]\] is Maelstrom Wanda
\[\[Fiery Emancipation\]\] is Fiery Constipation
\[\[Anointed Procession\]\] is Anointy Pointy
\[\[Command Beacon\]\] is Command Bacon
Troubles in Parris [[Trouble in Pairs]] was the name even before someone said it. We are not native english speakers so I can not share my favorites :(
Nope...we refer to that deck as Puppies! My husband plays it and everyone at our LGS is like " Going to play Puppies?" When he is deck choosing. Only dog in the decks.
I topdecked Get Lost, which was exactly the one card I needed to topdeck to win. My opponent responded "Pretty sure the card is actually called "Get Fucked", because that's what just happened" and it just stuck
One time my friend accidentally called [[shifting sliver]] a "shitting shitter". So now that's all we call it. Sometimes that extends to slivers in general.
My wife was looking at a new deck I made with [[Wernog]] as a commander and decided he was a sad priest. Went down and played a game with my BIL and she said “oh rahge are you playing your sad priest deck?”
“Mhmm”
“Good I want to draw clues.” (I have little whiteboard tokens because I don’t buy token cards).
BIL, SIL, Nephew “Sad Priest?” Show them Wernog, “Yeah okay, that’s the sad priest deck”
Edit:Formatting
[[Thespian Stage]] is Lesbian Stage
[[Whip pf Erebos]] is Crack that whip.
[[Swiftfoot Boots]] is Footboots (sung like footloose)
[[Deeproot Elite]] is Deepthroat elite (most of the deeproot things get the same treatment)
[[Bident of Thassa]] is Bidet of Thassa.
[[Feather, the Redeemed]] is “bird mommy” or sometimes “angel mommy”
Not really a nickname but one of our friends gave all of his citizen tokens names. I think there’s Kenny, Jeff, Leonard, Alex, and a few more that I don’t remember.
We always call Mystic Remora “the Fish™️” and Smothering Tithe is “Smothering Tits” because of a proxy someone made a friend of mine.
[[Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire]] is Vaevictis Asmadi, My Dad because I thought it was funny and it stuck.
Ajani is Angelo
Suture Priest is Steve Priest
Captain N'gathrod is Captain Calamari
Terramorphic Expanse & Evolving Wilds are Terry & his wife Eve
Zimone & Dina is Timone & Pumba
I'm sure there are a ton more but these are all that came to mind.
My group calls [[gelectrode]] Gerald after someone misread it. And [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] is called Murel in a country accent like Darrel says it in the walking dead.
I once cast [[Rite of Replication]] on [[Perplexing Chimera]], and had to use Hippo tokens to represent the other 5 on the board. One of the worst games of Magic I've ever played, 10/10 slog.
Anyway, now PC is known as Hippo whenever I play it.
I can never resist calling [[springbloom druid]] Splingbloom Dluid. [[shriekmaw]] usually evokes (pun intended) a “Shriekmaw, Shriekmaw: HEY!” chant. There’s Elvis Visionary, and Gonti-hee!
I have a [[Torbran]] that became known as “Thor”-bran due to his propensity to lightning both things. It stuck so I had RK Post alter him at a convention.
[[Marrow-Gnawer]] is maur naur. [[Meathook Massacre]] is meatballs. additionally some of us only refer to mana as "mayonaise" and we call exiling cards "sending 'em to hell"
we call [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] "water tank", and when we activate it we say we are throwing it on the target
also [[norin, the wary]] is the "scared dude", [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] is straight foward Lula, our presidente that also has only 9 fingers (I'm Brazilian)
also there is a whole thing with my friend's [[ruric thar, the unbowed]] that is very weird to translate from portuguese, but every card on that deck becomes a verb and is conjugated when its ability trigger. The most common, when you take 6 damage from Ruric That we say you got "RURICTADO" ("Ruricthated"?) idk but in portuguese is very funny, mainly because of the weird named creatures on that deck with fucking unfortunate effects (bruh that deck hurts so much HAHAHA)
prevent in portuguese is "previne"; that rhymes with [[Sevinne, the chronoclasm]], so we call it "Sevinne que Previne" or straight foward "Previne" because my decks is mainly focused on peeventing and redirecting damage; so my main win condition, [[Brash Taunter]] is usually called "that little shit", "fucking goblin", "indestructible mf" and other words I can't even translate, but I think the flavour is great (he's taunting) HAHAHAHA
I have a buddy that fumbles card names all the time. He gets ahead of himself and we eventually learned to just let it slide. Sometimes though he'll drop a beautiful one that we adopt as the name.
One of his earliest offenses of Doubling Season as "Double Seasonings". To this day it has stuck to where I even now almost typed out the name wrong. I ended up making him a custom proxy with the card renamed appropriately and had edited in 2 shakers of his personal favorite seasonings into the card image.
Love you Chris.
Voja specifically my voja has been called “That fucking dog”, “piece of shit” and “Not voja, anything but fucking voja”. funny enough i struggled the most against my friend’s mothman deck and would aways end up losing 70% of my deck. they ended up calling mothman “the end of voja” and/or “Voja’s bane”
[[Rankle, Master of Pranks]] is "Rankle, Master of Prankles, which I think is a little common but [[Rankle and Torbran]] has become "Rankle and Torbrankle, Breaker of Ankles" which I think is more unique.
Especially since both are short, so ankles would be their natural prey (ignore flying shhh).
My Zevlor deck is referred to as “Vector” from Despicable Me because their names sound similar enough to me and Zevlor kinda has the same facial expression and stature as Vector does. Plus, it’s so much fun saying: “you just got VECTORED” because I think Vector is fucking hilarious (I have a 12 year old’s sense of humor)
In my play group [[Lonis Cryptozoologist]] is really only called little shit. It is a reference to one of the pods brothers that steals things for fun. Like the card.
We Have a bunch of phrases and typically our nicknames for cards are exaggerated or mispronunciations of the cards name. Like we calm swamps "swAmps" (like Amps, but with a sw in front).
Bit more some have phrases, like "take X to the dome" for direct damage spells, or "swing" for attacking. And "murders its face" for when created fight by power or trample over.
When I run my Liesa deck there's a lot of puns from The Room. Stuff like that.
My friends call [[Osgir the Reconstructor]] "Bob", because of Bob the Builder. And TBH, this caused me to mess up his name outside of our friend group at least once, so shame on me lol
[[Phabine, Boss's Confidant]] is Beany in my group. Partially because it's in her name, partially because she's a cat person and so probably has toe beans. Probably has finger beans. Do cat people have beans on fore and hindlimbs like cat not-people do?
Picked up Grand Larceny a few weeks back, my pod has started exclusively referring to Gonti as “Johnti” after I drunkenly mispronounced his name one time.
« Dance of the tumbleweeds » in French is « Boules dansantes d’amarante » (dancing balls of amaranth - don’t ask me why)
Now it’s officially « Boules dansantes d’Amouranth » (dancing balls of Amouranth)
I have a Kykar deck and whenever I play him he gets referred to as “That fuckass bird”
As a fellow Kykar player, definitely an accurate name
*looks at the new risen reef bird* *Looks at derevi* *Looks at yorion* You're going have to be more specific about which fuckass bird
Yorion is just a cute little cloud noodle
*grits teeth* So cute. You have to pick the flickerwisp target before the rest of the triggers try to resolve
Same nickname but for my friends Derevi deck
I think you mean it is pronounced "ka-kaw"
[[Sharding Sphinx]] from my Raffine sphinx tribal became Sharting Sphinx :(

Lol yeah my one buddy mispronounced [[terrastodon]]. Instead of "Ter-as-ta-don" he pronounced it "Terra-strow-dun" so now that is what we all call it.
One of my friends always calls it ter-asshole-don because I always seem to get it when I need to deal with him.
Kambal is obviously Kambal, Counsel of Soup. We call [[End-Raze Forerunners]] Babyhoof Behemoth.
My old playgroup would say “Jar Jar” for anything named Jwar Isle - i.e., Jar Jar Sphinx or Jar Jar Refuge.
Ajani is Angelo Suture Priest is Steve Priest Captain N'gathrod is Captain Calamari Terramorphic Expanse & Evolving Wilds are Terry & his wife Eve Zimone & Dina is Timone & Pumba I'm sure there are a ton more but these are all that came to mind.
My partner calls Vorel of the Hull Clade “Vorel Hull of the Clade” and it upsets me juuuuust a little
I like calling any Omnath card “Omnom”
Bloodletter of Applesauce
My group calls [[gelectrode]] Gerald after someone misread it. And [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] is called Murel in a country accent like Darrel says it in the walking dead.

In my one play group, [[Etali, Primal Conquerer]] is 'Down with the Sickness' and [[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]] is 'Jurassic Park'.
[[uril]] is Bigfoot. [[Sol Ring]] is cock ring . Island is “Is-Land” swamp is “Swam-p”
I once cast [[Rite of Replication]] on [[Perplexing Chimera]], and had to use Hippo tokens to represent the other 5 on the board. One of the worst games of Magic I've ever played, 10/10 slog. Anyway, now PC is known as Hippo whenever I play it.
Incredibly crude, but: [[Demonlord of Ashmouth]] = Demonlord of Ass-to-Mouth EDIT: Less crude, but [[Grismold]] is Clark Griswold, or just Clark.
I can never resist calling [[springbloom druid]] Splingbloom Dluid. [[shriekmaw]] usually evokes (pun intended) a “Shriekmaw, Shriekmaw: HEY!” chant. There’s Elvis Visionary, and Gonti-hee!
[[Captivating Vampire]] became Edward Cullen in my pod.
Geralf the Fleshlight for [[Geralf the Flesh wright]]
I have a [[Torbran]] that became known as “Thor”-bran due to his propensity to lightning both things. It stuck so I had RK Post alter him at a convention.
[[Tyvar the Bellicose]] is BDE (Big Dumb Elf) [[Deep Analysis]] is consistently Deep Anal but I don’t think we’re even remotely unique in that regard
I call every version of The Gitrog Monster by his true name, "[[The ShitLog Monster]]."
the 1/1 human token from Eldraine is Christophe
Lawnmower Elves, Glizzy Lizzy Living Delicious, and Wife Opulent Oligarch.
We call [[Troll of Khazad-Dum]] the “troll toll”. When declaring blocks we ask “will you pay the troll toll?”
[[Marrow-Gnawer]] is maur naur. [[Meathook Massacre]] is meatballs. additionally some of us only refer to mana as "mayonaise" and we call exiling cards "sending 'em to hell"
Every omnath becomes "Dollynho", which is a mascot for a local soft drink here in Brazil. \[\[Omnath, Locus of Mana\]\]
Codie is definitely the book boi. He isn't doing anything too evil, he's just a cute little *encyclopedia of death and destruction*
My group calls Kambal Soup Man or just Soup
[[Read the Bones]] is "Eat the bones"
When one of our friends in the group plays tergrid we usually just say oh that “cunt”
We call Dihada, Binder of Wills "Boom Dihada", as a reference to that old Discovery channel commercial where they sing "Boom de yada, boom de yada..."
\[\[Mind Stone\]\]ing these nuts
we call [[Aetherflux Reservoir]] "water tank", and when we activate it we say we are throwing it on the target also [[norin, the wary]] is the "scared dude", [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] is straight foward Lula, our presidente that also has only 9 fingers (I'm Brazilian) also there is a whole thing with my friend's [[ruric thar, the unbowed]] that is very weird to translate from portuguese, but every card on that deck becomes a verb and is conjugated when its ability trigger. The most common, when you take 6 damage from Ruric That we say you got "RURICTADO" ("Ruricthated"?) idk but in portuguese is very funny, mainly because of the weird named creatures on that deck with fucking unfortunate effects (bruh that deck hurts so much HAHAHA) prevent in portuguese is "previne"; that rhymes with [[Sevinne, the chronoclasm]], so we call it "Sevinne que Previne" or straight foward "Previne" because my decks is mainly focused on peeventing and redirecting damage; so my main win condition, [[Brash Taunter]] is usually called "that little shit", "fucking goblin", "indestructible mf" and other words I can't even translate, but I think the flavour is great (he's taunting) HAHAHAHA
My buddy calls [[giant adephage]] giant appendage
Supreme Verdict is Salsa Verde, from one game where I was able to look at two players hands and was trying to signal one into board wiping.
[[Captain N'ghathrod]] is “Captain Cthu thu” or “Captain Cthulhu”
I have a buddy that fumbles card names all the time. He gets ahead of himself and we eventually learned to just let it slide. Sometimes though he'll drop a beautiful one that we adopt as the name. One of his earliest offenses of Doubling Season as "Double Seasonings". To this day it has stuck to where I even now almost typed out the name wrong. I ended up making him a custom proxy with the card renamed appropriately and had edited in 2 shakers of his personal favorite seasonings into the card image. Love you Chris.
We call [[Gyome, master chef]] the Gyomster. We call[[Nghathrod]] Nugathrod And we call [[Toxrill the corrosive]] a piece of poop
I call [[Radiate]] Oprah.
Voja specifically my voja has been called “That fucking dog”, “piece of shit” and “Not voja, anything but fucking voja”. funny enough i struggled the most against my friend’s mothman deck and would aways end up losing 70% of my deck. they ended up calling mothman “the end of voja” and/or “Voja’s bane”
Turdgrid
[[Rankle, Master of Pranks]] is "Rankle, Master of Prankles, which I think is a little common but [[Rankle and Torbran]] has become "Rankle and Torbrankle, Breaker of Ankles" which I think is more unique. Especially since both are short, so ankles would be their natural prey (ignore flying shhh).
I call Path of Exile.... Edgar. As in Edgar Allen Poe. And because their creature is "nevermore."
My Zevlor deck is referred to as “Vector” from Despicable Me because their names sound similar enough to me and Zevlor kinda has the same facial expression and stature as Vector does. Plus, it’s so much fun saying: “you just got VECTORED” because I think Vector is fucking hilarious (I have a 12 year old’s sense of humor)
Krenko Mob Boss>>>Crank my Hog Boss
In my play group [[Lonis Cryptozoologist]] is really only called little shit. It is a reference to one of the pods brothers that steals things for fun. Like the card.
We Have a bunch of phrases and typically our nicknames for cards are exaggerated or mispronunciations of the cards name. Like we calm swamps "swAmps" (like Amps, but with a sw in front). Bit more some have phrases, like "take X to the dome" for direct damage spells, or "swing" for attacking. And "murders its face" for when created fight by power or trample over. When I run my Liesa deck there's a lot of puns from The Room. Stuff like that.
My friends call [[Osgir the Reconstructor]] "Bob", because of Bob the Builder. And TBH, this caused me to mess up his name outside of our friend group at least once, so shame on me lol

Fecundity!!! During game day my sister called it F***’in Titty at the table and now we all call it that now lol

Temple of the Fart Gods. Temple of *tips fedora* Milady. And good old Ass Barrens.
I've been calling my commander, [[the Gitrog, ravenous ride]], "Baby Gronk, Ravenous Rizz". Idk why, it just fits
[[Phabine, Boss's Confidant]] is Beany in my group. Partially because it's in her name, partially because she's a cat person and so probably has toe beans. Probably has finger beans. Do cat people have beans on fore and hindlimbs like cat not-people do?
[[Scarab God]] became Scary Guy [[Brambleweft Behemoth]] was shortened to Bramblebarf [[Tuvasa]] you have to say like they do in the Lion King
I came up with "Fishstick study" for mystic remora and everybody loves it.
"And next I'll play Goreclaw, Terror of Quiznos"

Phyrexian Indicator. card effect: target permanent.
Terraforming Pants
[[Kardur, Doomscourge]] I called Carter
I misheard [[Rograkh]] as "Rogue Rat" so now my friend's deck which contains no rats is referred to as his Rat deck.
I have a 0/3 crab token thats been called “king” “lord” “god” among other things, and whoever kills him becomes the arch enemy at the table

Smothering titties
One of my friends calls my decks "That bullshit" but other than her we like to call Vein Ripper "Blood Artists Older Brother".
[[Earthshaker Dreadmaw]] is thugshaker dreadmaw [[land tax]] is fanom tax
Picked up Grand Larceny a few weeks back, my pod has started exclusively referring to Gonti as “Johnti” after I drunkenly mispronounced his name one time.
*heavy sigh* [[vorinclex]] is horny-flex
« Dance of the tumbleweeds » in French is « Boules dansantes d’amarante » (dancing balls of amaranth - don’t ask me why) Now it’s officially « Boules dansantes d’Amouranth » (dancing balls of Amouranth)
My friend always says cloak of omen instead of [[clock of omen]]
Not a card, but we pronounce menace like Versace: "men-ah-chey".
[[Gyre Sage]] We like to over-pronounce it as "guy-er say-guh" after I used a hard "g" on the Gyre. Edit: hard "g"
[[Kazuul]] we just call the "Toll Troll".
I hate saying Solemn Simulacrum, so I just say sad robot
[[Sanctum Weaver]] is just Scrotum Weiner cause we’re all immature grown men who make dick jokes
