Another suggestion: Alchemist (since alchemy was the practice of attempting to turn elements into gold, and there is a lot of gold involved in these designs). "Alchemy" is the name of some other decks, so "Alchemist" would be the best variation of the term.

I Like Alchemy for sure. It has a "higher class" feel to it as opposed to Blacksmith, or smithy (which are names I also like) and I think that "higher class" feel goes with the courts better.

In that case, you could also go with the latin name "Magnum Opus" (Great Work) which is not only used to describe a masterpiece by an artist or writer, but also used in alchemy to describe the alchemical process of creating the legendary Philosopher's stone, which, as y'all probably already know, was supposedly believed to be a substance capable of turning common/inexpensive metals into gold.

JacksonRobinson wrote:So I really like "Philosopher's Stone" the only two draw backs that make me hesitate are: Its long and I may not have room to fit it in the giving space comfortably, and it association with the Harry Potter series.

What do you guys think of these concerns?

A few names that have come to mind with help of everyone's alchemy thoughts were "Fools Gold" or "Pyrite" which is the geological name for fools gold.

Thoughts?

Alchemy is overdone.

Tempered, would also work.

King's Gold

Kings Wild Forge!

I actually was working late last night and was listening to a new song I had never heard and really enjoyed it. The song was called Invocation.

What do you think about Invocation? I know it's not metallic but I really stuck onto it last night while working.

Invocation: - the summoning of a deity or the supernatural. One of the Google Definitions I liked

Heres a link to the song if anybody is interested:

Reminds me too much of Magic: the Gathering, personally.
