Deck Naming: Doing it right.

Everyone has deck names right?

So how do you make a deck name that shows the deck content to its fullest, yet retaining some form of coherence and not sounding stupid?

By combining the shortened forms of various elements in the deck of course.

First, most decks that use battle damage to reduce the opponent to 0LP use the word "Beat" or "Beatdown" at the end of the deck name, regardless of whether they intend on beating anything down or not. Hence, terms such as Beat at the end of the deck name are implied, and can be dropped from the name, if it is not called for.
(EG: Dimension Eatos Beat is the same as Dimension Eatos)

Similarly, unless there is need to differentiate one deck from its OTK variant, the 1キル can also be ignored.
(EG: Zombie Synchro 1Kill is the same as Zombie Synchro)

The monster or card that the deck revolves around everyone knows to include, so what about other terms?

Revival: The deck intends to special summon this card from the graveyard

Return: The deck intends to special summon this card from the RFP zone

Recruiter: Usually used in tandem with other Recruiters, and hence the central monsters are the recruiters themselves. You intend in special summoning this card from the deck

Recycle: The deck intends to revive the monster for the sole purpose of using it for synchro summons.(EG: Fane Recycle, Ryko Recycle, Porter Recycle are the only ones used nowadays)

Control: The deck intends to win in the long run by gaining advantage

Removal: Control Via removal

Meta: Control Via Anti-Special Summoning

Permission: Control Via Counter Traps

Hand: Control Via Hand Destruction

Dimension: Graveyard control Via Dimension Fissure and Macro Cosmos

Lock: Control Via not letting the opponent attack.

Burn: You intend to win via Burn Damage


Im sure I left out a bunch of stuff, but this covers almost everything.

With this, you can easily see what the deck is supposed to do by just looking at its deck name.

Asmodeus Return: A deck revolving around Asmodeus and specializing in special summoning it several times from the RFP zone. Wins by beatdown. (And HOW!)

As opposed to another RFP special summoning Fairy Build,

Dimension Saturn: A Control deck using dimension cards to net graveyard advantage, and win by using the special effects of Saturn.(And because it is サターン, and not Saturn, you know its The Agent of Judgment, Saturn, not The Big Saturn)

Obvious terms such as "Synchro" are ignored because you can put that term, similarly to beat, into any deck with Tuners. It tells you nothing.

Thats all for today.

G-Ray Out.
