Help needed naming a new set

ukmuggles · 04-20-2005, 09:18 AM

Hello Everyone –

I need help coming up with a name for a set I’m developing.

Setting: Lush rainforest or African Jungle overrun ruins of an ancient civilization.

Themes: Diversity, choice, risk and chaos

Mechanics: Venom (poison variant), Wild Magic (arcane/Erratic Explosion variant), Evoke (madness variant inspired by the unfinished QWERTY set)

Can anyone suggest a good name for the set. Here are some possible names that came to my mind. Could you please pick two or three that you like or suggest something better of your own creation.

1. Pangaea

2. Primal Impulse

3. Lost Continent

4. Primeval

5. Venom

6. Kingdom of Vines

7. Valley of Serpents

8. Jungle Ruins

9. Paradise Lost

10. Dark Continent

'Paradise Lost' sounds good if not clichéd. I'd just go with the name 'Ruin'.

Here are a few more name suggestions:

Jungle's Eye
Wilderness

How about somthing like this- "Uchawi Kongoni" (it's swahili for wild magic)
or this- "Selvarisco: Land of Chaos" (the first word is a combination of the portuguese (brazil's language) for jungle and risk.)

I'm impressed especially if you translated that without Babelfish. I like the swahili but want to tie it to an English word as well

Maybe Uchawi Jungle

Pangaea looks nice, although a bit dubious in pronounciation.
And dude, Selvarisco would look so weird to me... but that's because I actually speak portuguese.

Pangaea is my favorite. I also like the various translations.

draygn_mage · 04-20-2005, 02:35 PM

@RickCorgan did I get the translation right? I wasn't sure if Port. does the flip noun adj thing like spanish or not.

Thanks for the advice everyone

I think I'm going to go with a suggestion made by Scuirimancer

Lost World

I'll be sure to use Pangaea as a card name

My special thanks to Draygn_Mage, you have inspired me to use a swahili dictionary to rename some of the cards
