Favorite Flavor Text
« on: April 03, 2016, 03:35:09 pm »
Flavor text is something in magic that helps make the game fun. My friend gathered all of the cards that told the story of The Theriad in Theros. I keep some very bad cards in my trade binder just for their flavor text, and recently I started to wonder which card had my favorite flavor text. I checked through my cards, and after much contemplation, I chose Warleader's Helix. Deranged Assistant was an honorable mention because my brother found it hilarious ???. I was wondering what other magic players think of as their favorite flavor text. I hope to hear a few funny ones.
For my opponents, a healthy diet of counterspells, artifacts, and crazy combos.

After looking through some of the posts in the old thread I have chosen these 3 as I am not very familiar with all of the flavor texts new or old. The last one is one my friend told me about a while back and I think its pretty awesome

Reparations - "Sorry I burned down your village. Here's some gold"

Traumatize - "He was left with just enough memory to understand what he'd lost"

Akroma, Angel of Wrath - "Wrath is no vice when inflicted upon the deserving"

If I throw statistics at you, they likely came from:

Mine is honestly Goblin sledder. "Here let's play 'sled' Here's how it works you're the sled.
It is a hilarious flavor text but most goblins do.

 I like silent observer cause it's funny and creepy too; it's not just a feeling-you are being watched.

Awe for the Guilds - When the guilds cooperate, the guildless celebrate their peaceful society. When the guilds clash, the guildless just try to keep out of the way. (AMEN!)

Vedalken Entrancer - Their denial reaches far into your future. (Sounds like Congress)

I really enjoy those of flipside cards.

Hermit of the Natterknolls: "He hates company..."
Lone Wolf of the Natterknolls: "...but he'll have you for lunch."

Lambholt Pacifist (no Flavour Text).
Lambholt Butcher :"True Peace can't be achieven until everyone else is dead."

Tormented Pariah: "Hey lads, the moon's rising. All the better to watch him beg for mercy."
Rampaging Werewolf: "Just look at him growling on all fours! What a pathetic--Uh-Oh"

Village Ironsmith: "Each night he abandons the trappings of civilization."
Ironfang: "Each morning he repairs the front door."
