It was just 'Fish' until it started running 'Cloud of Faeries' which was when it became Gay Fish.

The tog part is named after Psychatog, the grow part is named after Quirion Dryad. Deck played lots of cheap spells to grow Quirion Dryad. Tog was just used as a fall back since the graveyard tended to be full.

I think I heard that Death and Taxes as a deck name came from the saying that some things in life are unavoidable...Death, Taxes, and White Weenie.

Dammit, you're right, I was thinking of Parfait. No idea then where either of those names came from.

Should have called it "Fishsticks". What was that deck called with Balancing Act. Was it Tings?

TerraTings: http://www.cardshark.com/Articles/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleID=152 A good friend of mine played that deck for several months back in '02. I have no idea what where the "Tings" came from.

I thought it was 'Balancing Tings', never sure what Tings where though, obviously a play on words of Balancing Things but there has to be something else.

on stax.i do believe the name dit not actually come from somestack, but from The Stack. since this was a deck that abused upkeep triggers, often stacking a bunch of them to turn fair cards into great advantages. also the concept of the The Stack, was quite new at the time. (6th edition i think)

Originally there was Trix. The Illusions/Donate combo was considered a "trick" deck, and the name played off the verbal homonym.Then came Fruity Pebbles, being a riff on naming decks after cereals. It was a Goblin Bombardment deck that pebbled you to death. There was also eventually a version that included black called Cocoa Pebbles. Full English Breakfast arose afterward, following the trend of naming decks after breakfasts. It took the name Full English Breakfast because it featured a lot of fat, with the top end being Phyrexian Dreadnought. __________________

Yeah, honestly, I think this is where it originated. The 6th edition rules changes + Goblin Welder allowed you to do some funny stuff. That was a long time ago though, so not many people remember. The Stacker 2 deck I mention predated Stax and It's name came in part from its abuse of the stack... as well as those obnoxious "Worlds fastest fat burner" commercials.
