Have you ever named your Deck (this does fit in any forum, but i really only play EDH now, so yea figured I would put it here.) i remeber when i played Sadard I had Heldrazi.
However I never once named a Deck for EDH. Sure I refer to them by the tribe (Wizards) Or by the general (kraj) or even theme (Infect) But i have not yet named a single deck for EDH. So i turn to you, what have you guys named your decks? (I also checked the decks my friends have and realized, they also do not name their deck.)
It really depends on how much I like the deck, or if a silly or catchy name came up for it during again.
An example is that Marath earned the title of "Will of the Horde" after I made a Warcraft reference while casting Triumph of the Hordes. It just stuck, and it fits the deck's token theme.
........ ohhhhh you said deck.... yea..... I usually just go off of the commander when referring to them. I will sometimes give it a fancied up title for the thread name but I usually refer to my decks by means of the commander.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I've named my 60 card decks, but not my Commander decks, considering plenty of Commanders have awesome or silly sounding names anyway. Though if I ever built a control-magic/threaten deck, I would be more than happy to call it "I steal your.dec".
Almost all of my decks are named after what they do. My vampire deck, well that's the vampire. My angel deck, the Angels. My myr, they're called the myr. The fungus deck, that's called the saprolings (LOL) Mill deck is referred to as mill. Soldiers are the soldiers. My RW instant and sorcery deck... is the Instant and Sorcery deck. (Sometimes referred to as Guttersnipe.)
My friend's wurms and slivers are called the wurms and the slivers. So... we aren't very clever in my circle. But still named nonetheless.

Whats the big deal about black lotus you ask? Well you see, there is no big deal about it. It IS the big deal.
I name all my 60 card decks. The best name I think that I've heard for a deck though is Bryant Cook's The Epic Storm legacy deck - 5 color aggro goblins.

People at my LGS refer to Kami of the Crescent Moon as bubble butt. One other player also had a Kami deck so I suggested that we use them together and call them "Twerk Team".

this didn't get nearly as many lulz as it deserved.
I only really think of a name if I'm trying to get people to look at it on mtgs. Otherwise it's by the general, but since i usually build around the general it's usually fairly informative.

That is one of the best deck names ever.
I just go off my commander when I refer to them in these forums, but I usually have some sort of additional moniker when I'm talking about them. "Double-Down Gisela", "Rhys Tokens", "Trosani Lifegain", etc.
