I've been playing this game for about 15 years and it never fails to amaze me how many people insist on naming their decks "When _____ Attack". The blank, of course, being a tribe or the word "lands". (I wish that was bad AND funny...but it's just bad.)
During Alara-Zendikar (as in pre-worldwake), I was playing vampires, and someone commented that it was a crappy deck to play, since all I had was a bunch of black grizzly bears (2/2s). I responded that he'd missed something, that with Nocturnus they were...
Next big tournament I go to, my B/U control deck is going to be registered as "Mono Purple Contraptions".

I have a MBC deck referred to as (by me) "Murderfest" or (by others) "Charles Manson-Stain Lovechild". As the name implies, it kills things. Literally a pile of almost every kill spell I know.
I refer to me reanimator as "Undead Angel Babies" and others have started calling it "Das Engelwurst" because of the usual results.

I just came up with a name for my comedy artifact overkill deck that gets out 3-4 of each titan, the Eldrazi graveyard robber, and All is Dust thanks to Mirror Gallery in play and infinite Metalworker as early as turn two.
My wife made a deck that hated once. She called it P.R.O.D(Piss Rusty Off Deck).
It was aptly named.

I built a Red/Green deck for Canadian Nationals that was basically RDW (Guide, Hellspark, Hell's Thunder, Ball Lightning) splashing green for extra-hasty stuff in the form of Bloodbraid Elf (only 4x Bolts as non-creatures to Cascade into) and Vengevine, and 4x Fauna Shamans. In what is probably a complete misnaming, I named my deck in hommage to another RG deck from olden times. I named it
I actually run that deck right now...same name.
All troll-shroud deck.
MC Hammer (can't touch this)
Monowhite 'religious'/holy themed deck.
Holy Roller
Monored Goblin deck that is 'tribal' completely by accident.
The Accidental Goblin
Legendary rule Clone deck.
Episode II (because i just couldn't bring myself to actually name it 'Attack of the Clones' :sweat:)
Buddy of mine used to run a dual-tribal deck called
Fish & Ships
My bro used to another pseudo-dual-tribal deck called

My other decks have relatively uninspired names:
Jund dragons... Betcha can figure out that one
Crazy Dragons: the one with multiple scourge of kher ridges and ancient hellkite
But the best is my griffin deck:
"Peter Griffin"

We just called the deck Solitaire. It's like playing by yourself, while you ignore your opponent.

[My Decks]
Monoblack Control BBB
Extended Grixis UBR
Bruiser Tapout BU
And that quickly became the name. Because of this, a friend of mine built a deck with the same name, filled with Grizzly Bears, Forest Bears, Runeclaw Bears, Bear Cubs, Balduvian Bears, Gravitational Shifts, Wonders, and other cards that gave them flying.
Next big tournament I go to, my B/U control deck is going to be registered as "Mono Purple Contraptions".

Best one I ever had was this weird Scarecrow build that tried to abuse Locket of Yesterdays along with Scarecrone, Heap Doll, Grim Poppets and various other scarecrows. I believe it also had some spellbombs in it like Pyrite Spellbomb. Anyways, deck name:
I'm a Lurker.
That's a pretty good name. We called our esper deck Robocop (lame, I know)
