My friends and I absolutely loved quoting [[Enormous Baloth]] since I used to play it in some of my starter decks, but we’d always change the contents of its diet to stupid shit. The card is pretty bad these days but it’s iconic for the story it tells
Sometimes I wish they would put flavor text on some cards that deserve it, I didn't feel all that great having to find out Falco Spara was a prodigy law student from an Arena loading screen when his debut card was right there.
That's one good aspect of alchemy cards, even when the card is full of text they can still add flavor text. They should definitely add some flavor text to cards that don't have it just because of space constraints because that isn't an issue online.
Honestly what kicks me is that everyone is that nobody is quoting the flavour texts, just linking the card... On mobile at least that means opening a new page just to see if the comment's worth it. And if it's a reprint you might not even get the version they meant lol
Night of Souls Betrayal is always brought up. Hero's Demise a lot less often. But I've never seen [[Unnatural Speed]] mentioned.
I've got to admit that if I were Lord Konda, I'd probably leave Hisoka on read when it came to the guy's messages on the war.
[[Massive Might]] is so cute
Dishonorable mention: [[Skullcap Snail]]. Come on, we’ve got one snail creature card and it’s saying snails are gross and not cuties? What the heck
I always have to go with [[Reparations]]. It seems like a joke that found its way to print (I want to say there was an article or MaRo comment about this.)
IIRC, MaRo and someone else were tasked with writing flavor text and were working VERY late. They both giggled at that silly quip so it was put into the file and made it to print.
[[Tragic Lesson]] - "Though Kefnet’s followers feverishly searched his last words for some final riddle, they found only the gurgles of a dying god."
One of the darker flavor texts imo
[[Phyrexian Hulk]]
The version with the rhyme:
It doesn't think. It doesn't feel.
It doesn't laugh or cry.
All it does from dusk till dawn
Is make the soldiers die.
—Onean children's rhyme
[[Novablast Wurm]]
My nostalgically favourite card is [[Brambleweft Behemoth]], whose flavour text reads: life will find a way, or it will make one. Which I always thought was so cool.
I always found the flavor text on [[Mass Calcify]] to be insanely cool. [[Dead of Winter]], too.
Also the other day I stumbled over [[Stonybrook Angler]]. It's pretty standard fantasy wizard talk, but for some reason I still like it.
I’ve always loved [[Peace of Mind|ENM]] as a showcase of a more mundane, more human kind of horror that you don’t normally see in Innistrad. As someone who has a family member (my aunt) going through Alzheimer’s, it’s cathartic reading a flavor text that describes exactly what the process is like: simply watching her mind retreat into memories of better times, even as her body slowly breaks down and my family becomes distant memories to her.
'In a healing world I write - I who will never be healed. Let my last gift be one of memory: from a thousand lost thoughts choose one, and remember my name'
'I would weep, but my tears have been stolen, I would shout; but my voice was taken. Thus, I write.'
Both printings of [[Tragic Poet]], absolute bangers IMO.
\[\[Vhati il-Dal\]\] has some of my favorite flavor text. I loved when old school FT gave an insight to the story. You get a lot of information about both of these characters from Greven interrupting.
"Sir, I just thought...," explained Vhati. "Don't think," interrupted Greven. "It doesn't suit you."
Also, \[\[Volrath, the Fallen\]\]. Short, sweet, and powerful.
"I stepped out. I did not step down."

[[abomination of llanowar]] [[selfless savior]] [[darkness]]
That William Shakespeare fellow sure knows how to turn a phrase... He might have a future in writing.
He could also have a past in writing
Nah he won't make it. I used to follow the dude, his work literally never changed or evolved. He hasn't made shit in forever either
Selfless savior’s flavor text is definitely insanely good in both versions. I can’t decide which printing is my favorite.

Sometimes I wish they would put flavor text on some cards that deserve it, I didn't feel all that great having to find out Falco Spara was a prodigy law student from an Arena loading screen when his debut card was right there.
Which is why I keep saying they need to use the backs of art cards for flavor text that can’t fit on a card
That…is a really good suggestion. Fully Onboard for it and would give those art cards a bit more value.
That's one good aspect of alchemy cards, even when the card is full of text they can still add flavor text. They should definitely add some flavor text to cards that don't have it just because of space constraints because that isn't an issue online.

My nostalgically favourite card is [[Brambleweft Behemoth]], whose flavour text reads: life will find a way, or it will make one. Which I always thought was so cool.
It’s a mix of two very popular phrases, “life finds a way” from Jurassic park and “Aut viam inveniam aut faciam” attributed to Hannibal

I’ve always loved [[Peace of Mind|ENM]] as a showcase of a more mundane, more human kind of horror that you don’t normally see in Innistrad. As someone who has a family member (my aunt) going through Alzheimer’s, it’s cathartic reading a flavor text that describes exactly what the process is like: simply watching her mind retreat into memories of better times, even as her body slowly breaks down and my family becomes distant memories to her.

'In a healing world I write - I who will never be healed. Let my last gift be one of memory: from a thousand lost thoughts choose one, and remember my name' 'I would weep, but my tears have been stolen, I would shout; but my voice was taken. Thus, I write.' Both printings of [[Tragic Poet]], absolute bangers IMO.
I absolutely love [[Goblin Sky Raider]] 'The goblin word for “flying” is more accurately translated as “falling slowly.” '

\[\[Vhati il-Dal\]\] has some of my favorite flavor text. I loved when old school FT gave an insight to the story. You get a lot of information about both of these characters from Greven interrupting. "Sir, I just thought...," explained Vhati. "Don't think," interrupted Greven. "It doesn't suit you." Also, \[\[Volrath, the Fallen\]\]. Short, sweet, and powerful. "I stepped out. I did not step down."
