Getting a couple of obvious ones out of the way:

Prickleboar = Pickles
Kytheon = Kideon

But then so:

Subterranean Scout = Dib Dab Goblin
Blazing Hellhound = Chien Enfer ("Hell Dog" in pigeon French, the pronunciation of "Enfer" sounds like "on fire")

Yea, but if you have Bruce out, you have to call every other creature Bruce as well, so as not to cause any confusion.

Given you are Australian, JackSlack, and Brute has already moved to Bruce, I'm surprised Boggart hasn't moved to Bogan. I'm not sure I can think of more Bogan name than Bruce.

I think Blessed Spirits would be A Tragic Story? The implications of the art and flavor text is super depressing I think...

While I accept the point, I prefer to just think he's some Boggart. Named Bruce. He's a sweet guy, really. Just has some bad press.

OK, Triple Green Shells and GNARLY, DUDE! made me genuinely LOL. Awesome.

Points also to Lord Hosk for Toby, chetoos fro "Wot's all this, then?", and Spartan_N30 for getting Fire Water Burn stuck in my head.

War Oracle: Waracle
Iroas's Champion: "Quit staring at my ass!"
Swift Reckoning: And STAY down!
Aspiring Aeronaut: Fopther (sic) Fanboy
Mantle of Webs: "At least I *hope* this stuff is webbing :s "


And it's not *really* part of Origins, but any time I resolve Meteorite, I do a falling whistle noise followed by a low rumbly explosion sound. Like a bomb, basically.
