What's the largest card name you know?

[Gui]

What's the largest card name you know, considering only cards that where once legal (no unhinged/unglued)?

In english, I've analised the following contenders
Oathkeeper, Takeno's Daisho [27]
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle [28]
The Tabernacle At Pendrell Vale [31]

which all lost to
Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers [33]

In any language, portuguese beaten it with:

Detentora do Juramento, Daisho de Takeno [40]
(Oathkeeper, Takeno's Daisho)
credits to NecroYawgmoth

So, what's the largest name you know? Is there any name larger than this?

[NecroYawgmoth]

thx for the credit... here a scan of mine =P

shortest name: Nix


most words:

Spanish Godo, Bandit Warlord: Godo, señor de la guerra de los bandidos [40], but more spaces than Oathkeeper, 8 words


...and just for the Unhinged LULZ

Thought about Evil eye of orms by gore but apparently it's not even close!

And I thought unhinged was only in English?

Oh, but 24 is a respectable size ^^
Maybe a top10 english contender xD

I didn't know that unhinged had other languages too

[dahcmai]

That's funny, I thought the longest one would be the German Countryside Crusher. It takes up the whole top of the text box, but that Kamigawa card beats it due to the small text.

...you need to see a german Wren's Run Vanquisher xD

but yeah... Landschaftszerquetscher is a very long word [probably the longest 1 worded card name?]




Portuguese beats this one too: Mó (Millstone)

Japanese Basic Lands [except Plains] and korean Basic Lands only have 1 sign/letter =P

[anonymos]

Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental does this win? Its name wraps all the way around.

No, the french version of it wins =P I stated that already in the 2nd post =P

I guess this has to count...

Well, portuguese oathkeeper still has it as biggest ^^

[Nihil Credo]

And I thought unhinged was only in English?That is correct. The French translations on magiccards.info come from some player with too much time on their hands, not from an actual French release.

[Nonex]

but yeah... Landschaftszerquetscher is a very long word [probably the longest 1 worded card name?]

It actually competes with Frühlingsblättertrommel (Springleaf Drum).

Tabernacle At Pendrell Vale [27]


it's The Tabernacle...

German cards have really long names, that's why they made the exodus set symbol smaller, so it could fit in long creature type names (lil symbol):

Japanese cards are the best for economy, the mountains just have one lil symbol

[NecroYawgmoth]

Yeah... german Exodus symbol is smaller... just compare...
