Default Exo Deck name

So I have been thinking what should we call this deck when it finally comes about. So I thought something simple, maybe two words at the most. I wad thinking Exo Storm. It just sounded cool to me and I would like to hear your thoughts on this maybe post a few ideas

Hmm, I've never actually given any thought to this. It doesn't have to say Exo or anything in the name, possibly the 'evolution deck'? I have absolutely no idea lol

What does everyone else think?

We don't have a deck picked out, and we don't have any type of release date. This deck will be community built. We will try to incorporate all ideas into it

Alex is right the only way for this to be OUR deck is to have an input by the community and not just staff, blend loads of ideas together and finallly make a deck of cards that represent us. Anyone can have their voice and input to this and that is what will make it special, Btw alex, will there be an announcent when the first batch arrive? I don't care if I live in the UK I am soooo ordering these, at least 2 decks, and I bet there will be a fight for who makes a video review!! Lol

Of course we will be contacting EVERYONE when we start the process. I will be keeping you guys informed every step of the way. Getting a deck designed is no easy task. We need sample decks, mokcups, etc.. before anything can be set in stone.

It most likely will be updated on the blog But I will be sure to inform you all of the status.

Archer
Arc
SDCH
Victory
Titanium Evolution (awesome!!)
Gold
Red Black
Destruction
Ghoul
The Alex Hess Deck
The Shindrichs Deck
The Hatfield Deck
The Cornman Deck
The Misjief-ous Deck
Outlaw Deck
(Yeh I started running out of ideas)
The get off your butt and contribute deck
The Glorious Deck
The Radiation Deck ( I was sitting beside a radiator)

What do you guys think?

I think it'd be best to decide firmly on an overall theme before we choose name. If we called it the Storm deck, and had a design of gargoyles, it'd look odd, obviously.

In my opinion the process should be:
1) Design type, which has already been established, abstract/logo.

2)Design Theme, which is very difficult to choose, since there are so many possibilities and opinions (Which is why we have the Card Back Designs thread, so people can toss around different ideas and how it may look)

3)Finalized design/Title, which should, I think, be decided at about the same time. It should be noted that the title should reflect the design, and we don't want to limit our possibilities by locking in on a title too soon.

I totally agree with you on that Brandon.
I did not mean that we should drop everything else and focus on the name, but as more designs come up we should also think if it was used what it would be called and maybe incorporate a few ideas together in order to make the best design possible, no doubt the final decisions will be a long hard process, but it will be worth it in the end.

I am maybe going to start sketching an idea for the box, except for the back where the card design is shown because we haven't decided on it yet but I will attempt the rest of it

No, no official name has yet been decided upon. The entire card process has sort of been halted for now. Of course, users can and should upload any ideas they may have. Once everything has been finalised, the deck will be produced, money permitting of course.
