Alright,
Don't you guys miss when Combo decks were named after breakfasts?
Remember Fruity/Coco Pebbles? (Enduring Renewal + Goblin Bombardment combo)
I'm pretty sure you guys are familiar with Raisin Bran (Aluren) and Golden Grahams (Auriok Salvager). Life was also one (yes, its a cereal name) and Cephalid Breakfast somehow has that breakfast roots to it.
There was even Sunny Side Up Eggs (Second Sunrise). There was a new post here called Cheeri0s (0cc creatures + Glimpse of Nature).
Ever since the storm mechanic showed up, no one is creative enough to name combo decks after breakfasts. I mean Belcher, TES, AnT, SneakShow, Painter... its meh.
Oh ya, there was that SCG article with a deck called Laxstorm. If you ask me, it reminds me more of a laxative brand and not the player (no offence to Ari Lax).
I wish all these combo decks had a breakfast name, just like the good old times. After all, playing the format does bring nostalgia, when you get to play with your old cards.
That is all.
Go create a new combo deck and call it Lucky Charms! lol
I have noticed the lack of creative names lately and an increase of "to the point" nams for decks. I even miss stuff like Mighty Quinn, Deadguy Ale, Rabid Wombat all cool names. Now we have Goblins, Merolk, NO-Pro, Dredge.....list goes on.
*claps* Bravo sir, bravo.
I tend to name my decks after anti-establishment movements or television shows. I never really thought about breakfast ones because as you said there are some out there with names. so I never bothered to name one such things.
Laxstorm = Relax and storm bro, you lose.
Decks that I care about:
Steel Stompy
UWx Landstill
Dreadstalker
DDFT (10% practice)
Mangara on MWS? You must be masochistic. -kiblast
I think the trend has been doing this because of how absurd decknames have become:
Example: Team America, does not play RWU
But in the interest of being interesting, I've tried to get Unbalanced & Topless as a deckname to stick. (Next Level Thresh)

People need to start registering Merfolk as Marshmallow Maties.
I have noticed that the moment a deck with a cool name ends up listed as something drab and vanilla on a SCG listing or article that is the end of the name unless it was already super well-known.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
I don't normally nitpick, but these were my most favorite decks of all time. So I need to point out that the combo is Enduring Renewal and Goblin Bombardment. It just hurt me inside to see otherwise :P
Fruity Pebbles - Enduring Renewel/Bombardment combo
Cocoa Pebbles - Enduring/Bombardment with Necropotence for good measure.

Someone want to explain to me what the fuck a CAW BLADE is?

I am so gonna use this name!
Edit: Plus, I'm considerably known in my town for playing LEDless Ichorid and giving the list Porn-names.
Spritzgebäck vom Fickolaus has to be my favourite, but I think I have been through every Name on the long list of even slightly funny Porn titels. Even In Diana Jones was used(pun intended).
