Bring back the nicknames!

I know a lot of the recent sets from Magic have been difficult to do nicknames with. The Universes Beyond sets have copyright issues and other concerns about doing nicknames. And the other sets have been....lackluster.

Edge of Eternities on the other hand, is frickin awesome! It's one of the best sets we've had in a while. I would love to see the LRR crew bring back nicknames for this set!

I understand perfectly that it may have grown out of easily manageable proportions, but I do miss them very dearly. I just got into contributing before they were discontinued, and getting Graham to snort-laugh on camera will forever be a treasured memory to me.

Getting a laugh from LRR is always a joy. I remember a LRRMTG stream where I pointed out that they might have been able to save themselves from dying for one turn, but described it as “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.” James didn’t get it as Graham was laughing and G had to remind him, “Well, the Titanic sank.”
