Title: Help w/ deck name
Post by: Deck Metrics on November 22, 2009, 05:15:02 PM: Hey all, I've finished constructing a Purple/Gold and Brown/Crimson deck. The theme I built the deck around was how back in the Old Testament, Israel had no king and then how Samuel the Prophet anointed King Saul. Anyways, the deck is filled with good & evil kings. I started calling it the Royalty Deck, but I don't like it so much. I even thought of maybe monarchs or kingship. Then I remembered melchizedek, but that was the a ruler who was also a priest. I have have Samuel the Prophet in the deck, and he's not a priest so it doesn't seem right to me to name the deck melchizedek. I was thinking something funny like, "Mel, kez my deck". Any ideas fellas?

royalty
monarchs
kings
melchizedek
rulers

"Hey, I've got something to show you."
"Cool, what is it?"
"Melk."
"Melk? What's that?"
"Melk is a deck."
{thunderous laughter and applause here}

Melek - Kind of sounds like the begining of Melchizedek.

Plus Melchizedek means - Righteous Ruler - you could call it that, Righteous Ruler. Or RR for short.

Silly silly. You can't call it RR, as this deck contains heroes.
