Best Flavor Texts EVER
General forum

So once again I'm asking all players to elaborate. What are the all time best flavor texts (quotes on the bottoms of the cards) in all of MTG? My definite favorite is from M12's Distress : "Of course I think I've gone mad. The little man who crawled out of my eye has been telling me that all day."
That may or may not be the real text, I forget what it was...

Hex is the most beautifully designed card in the history of Magic the Gathering.

I would have to say either
Acidic Soil
- Phyrexia had tried to take Urza's soul. He was relieved that Shiv tried to claim only his soles.
Aboroth
- The Weatherlight banked sharply as the colossal beast rose up to crush the lone rider. "My bet's on the dirt," Gerrard said flatly.
Abyssal Gatekeeper
- "There are two ways for me to pass this gate. One involves you remaining conscious." Gerrard of the Weatherlight.
Goblin Welder
- "I wrecked your metal guy, boss. But look! I made you an ashtray."All hail the Welder lol :D.

"When these Apes want something, Its a matter of Gibbon take"
The pun makes you want to PUNish the person who wrote it.

Counterspell from tempest is my favorite. I don't know how to make that version show up, but you should look it up; it's the best.

Um... JaceArveduin... Mystic Compass doesn't have a flavor text. Or is there another printing of it that does, besides just the Classic 6th Edition one that shows up on default?

canterlotguardian The Allies one reads:
"And I say north is where I want it to be." Jaya Ballard, Task Mage
For some reason, the site show's the older one.

My personal favorite is easily Goblin Pyromancer.
"The good news is, we figured out how the wand works. The bad news is, we figured out how the wand works."

Inspiration is also an honorable mention for me, because it seems so utterly on-flavor for Izzet.

"Day 30: I might have a problem here."
