I'm working on a project and am looking to gather some of Magic's hardest to pronounce names and characters.
My list so far:
Borborygmos
Fblthp
Gwafa Hazid
Jhoira
Nevinyrral
I know some of the Planeswalkers are a bit out there, but typically they are pretty easy to sound out.
What are some of the other tongue twisters in Magic?

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdac ar. I win. (Yes, I copy/pasted that.) Edit: It actually appears on three cards! I obviously knew about Granite Gargoyle, but the other two I did not. http://magiccards.info/query?q=ft%3AAsmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar&v=card&s=cname |

People have trouble with Arcbound Ravager, which is not pronounced Ravenger.

You definitely do win! I totally forgot about the unsung flavor text hero that is Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdac ar, but remember seeing the name every so often on a Granite Gargoyle and being wildly confused. |

I don't think I'm wrong on this -- Kaalia of the Vast should be pronounced with an 'ai' sound like in "hail". AA makes that sound. That end-boss from Diablo II is not called "Ball", it's "Baal" like "Christian Bale". Bale/Baal/Bail. Kay-lia. Kaalia.
However, if you say 'MAW-nah' when you add mana to your mana pool, I want to knife your dick

...I actually used to misspronounce Nebuchadnezzar and Ashnod's Transmogrant, quite a bit.
I still hear Pithing needle pronounced either: pith-ing or pie-thing.
There are plenty more, if not mostly, in Arabian nights, antiquities, Legends, Mirage and Visions.
