Thanks for the input Bill and Josh!

I think at the very least the Mystic is a different bloodline than the original Phantom. Much like the Lesser /Butter situation actually. Even though the Lesser and the Butter are likely the same things I still think it makes the most sense to call them their respective names if for no other reason than to keep the origins in line.

I have had alot of pressure regarding the naming of this morph. I felt from the time I hatched out the first cb Mystic that it was more than just an ugly Mojave and that in fact it was a type of phantom. Some of you likely remember my early on Mystic ads and how adamant I was about this morph proving out to be some type of phantom. It took some thought before I decided the Mystic name fit the glove the best. The Phantom and Mystic names go hand and hand with each other if you really think about how both names are defined. That being said I really have no intentions of changing the name at this point. Some people will likely call them McCain line Phantoms or Mystic Phantoms or something along those lines, but the truth in my opinion is it will be alot easier to name the crosses or combos by just leaving the Mystic name the way it is.
