by SaffronOlive // Dec 21, 2018

Magic has some crazy deck names, but where do they come from? That's the topic of our new series, Name Game! Today, we break down Dirty Kitty. Why is a deck that mashes together Goblin synergy and storm-combo kills called Dirty Kitty? What's the story behind the name? Let's break it down!

First, a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Name Game series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest.
