5) Shlock. While this isn't the official name of Glock with Captain Marvel, people still call it this. Why? Shlock? That sounds like "excretion" in Yiddish. You could've just called it Glock with Captain Marvel.

4) Good Guys. I can't believe it, I mean honestly, who wants to play a deck called "Good Guys?" No one likes being "Good," and it sets up the horrible sequel "Bad Guys" so easily it's painful. You could've just called the deck World's Greatest Heroes like after the team-up like most normal decks (Common Enemy, Mutant Nation, etc.) or at least JLA/JLI or even JLX. I mean, jeez, Good Guys?

3) Mexican Hardware Store. While catchy, this name is insulting to all Hispanic immigrants such as myself and local forum troll Warran. Could've easily been called New Voltage.

2) Flying Circus. Squadron Supreme is not a circus, and it does not fly. Foxfire doesn't look like the bearded lady. I don't see how this one flew; especially when the deck was straight Squadron and could've very well been called Squadron Supreme.

1) Chicken Supreme. First, Squad gets a bad name, then Hans and friends re-name is. I mean, wtfnuggets, they said it's named after a "popular German hamburger." A hamburger made out of chicken? Right. Why name a deck after a hamburger in the first place? Just call it Squadron, what's so hard about that?

0) Child Lock. Speaks for itself; worst deck name ever. It's even worse when people propogate the name by writing articles about the deck. It's not even one deck; it's an archetype, which is even worse. Bad beats.

Discuss.

You are absolutely correct sir! I went to a Mexican Hardware Store once. There were no Enemy of My Enemy's to be found. The deck is not representitive of a true hardware store in Mexico.

As for Good Guys, what a dumb name. I mean any deck that plays any heroes at all could conceivably use that one. Generic garbage.

And Child Lock? That sounds like what my uncle uses on his kitchen cabinet so that my idiot cousin won't O.D. himself.

Shlock.... I can't even begin to describe that one. It sounds dirty.

Chicken Supreme sounds like something I'd get at KFC, and Flying Circus sounds like the farm where they got the chickens to make my Chicken Supreme.

All and all, well said sir!

if i remember correctly, Kim told me that the name was used cause Milton came up with the initial decklist. Milton, i believe, is Puerto Rican, and hates to be called Mexican. the hardware store has to do with all the equip in the deck. while not 100%, Kim said it was likely Alex that came up with the name of the deck.

Circus of Doom. Doom is not a circus, and it does not fly. Puppet Master doesn't look like the bearded lady. I don't see how this one flew; especially when the deck was straight multi-team stuff and could've very well been called Gamma Doom.

I think I pretty much agree. Child Lock, I think most people do use as an archtype name. I mean it's 10-Team Child Lock or Fantastic Fun... I don't think I've ever seen a deck called just "Child Lock."

The one that always bugged me was "Re-Vengers." It's like... You know, if Team Attack Avengers is ever playable give THAT a name, cause for now Avengers Reservists is the only way Avengers are playable anyway.

And I never called it Flying Circus OR Chicken Supreme. No Hand Squadron Rush long hand, but typically just Squadron.

Total Avengers.

Worst. Name. Ever.

Force.

Killing Joke.

Migga City- Who names a deck after a person?
Ghostbusters- WTPopcorn?

Jar.

i win the contest

Yeah, I never got "Migga City". What ever happened to BBH?

I liked Killing Joke only because of the line Mike Jacob used at $10K Hamilton. It was something like "If Anand is responsible for giving it that name I'm going to [do something really nasty to] him" (I forget what it was that he said but I found it really funny).

I liked the name Chicken Supreme. It allowed me to make fun of a cheesehole of a deck without making the joke blatantly insulting. Never quite got Flying Circus though...perhaps it has something to do with Shape's art?

Fantastic Fun I think is a pretty bad name. I mean, first off the deck is definately not fun to play across from. The only thing "fantastic" about it is that it was a playable mono-F4 deck, and, from what I've heard from people I've met who played the deck, it wasn't even that fun to see on your side of the table nevermind opposite you. Perhaps a better name would have been "that [expletive deleted] annoying F4 Equipment deck".

Hm...[expletive deleted]...not a bad name for a deck...now, how to say "[expletive deleted]" using cards...

ok outside my sarcasm from the last thread.

seriously.....curve sentinels did we just wipe that deck from our minds?

"Shlock" is Yiddish. It means "piece of crap." Therefore the deck name is both ironic (since the deck is solid) and a bad pun. That's what deck names should be.

This totally should have been called JLU from the get-go, and unfortunately the terrible Good Guys name caught on.

Because at the time there were two variants of Squadron kicking around - the long curve build and the short-curve build. Short-curve obviously proved to be the better deck, but they needed differentiation, and the short-curve variant had flying apes in it, so.

Also, I would like to nominate "Kangbang", the Kang/Longshot deck, which was so tasteless a name that people switched to calling it "Kangshot." Which is a pity, because at least "Kangbang" was a ballsy name.

Curve Sentinels is definately one that should be nominated.

I mean, there is no "Curve Common Enemy" or really ANY other deck.

Heck, outside of 'vomit' or 'rush' no deck actually TELLS you that it's running curve/off-curve/short-curve, etc ...

Considering that Ivy League had no League characters [JLA, JLI or LOA] and Killing Joke didn't have the Joker in it, that's something that could be considered 'bad'.

Good Guys. Sorry to whoever started calling it that, but that's a really crap name. To be honest, the name is the reason i refuse to use the deck. i know i can call it somethin else, but other players would still say "oh, your playing "good guys""

crap on a cracker.

GLEE bugs me something feirce too.

Wasn't Ivy League the deck that abused League of Arkham?

I mean, I'd imagine that's where the name came from: the amazing tutorability of Poison Ivy combined with the plot twist League of Arkham, both of which are essential cards to it's discard strategy. Personally, I liked Ivy League as a name. Much better than some crappy name like Common Enemy or Fearsome Men.
