Flavour text thread?

Flavour text thread?

I always found the text for Cage of Hands to be profoundly full of sorrowful beauty, but I never see it posted here.

>"Our own actions built the prisons that now hold us. Our hands reached too far and tried to hold too much."

If you don't cry for this one, I don't know what you are.

Got a serious chill.

>Seer

The seer sat before me,
Wrapped gently in smoke and satin.
A small smile in purple-painted lips
Peeked out from under her silk veil.
Her crystal on the table before her
Swam in an inner light
That set my heart pattering.
"What is it you want to know?" she asked.
I swallowed the rock in my throat.
"Tell me, O seer, how will the world end?"

Her smile widened.
Her white, white teeth
Gleamed at me.
"That is a deep question, my dear,
As deep as Inkfathom, and just as cold.
The answer
Will surely not bring you any joy."
"I know," I replied,
"But know I must."
Even if I did not know why.

Her smile dazzled once more,
As if I had made light wit.
"You are not ready for my answer.
Perhaps there are other things
You wish to know?"
I nodded.
Her hands embraced the crystal.
The light within it
Swam and jumped
Writhed and stretched.
"Then ask."

best flavor text NA

daaaammmmm drops wizards staff*

im 14 and this is deep :0
Good but reposted so much to the point of being a meme. Let it rest next time buddy
Best of thread so far. Wish they cut the last line though
Meh tier
Really charming line, whimsy done well
The way that sentence was constructed bothers the fuck out of me

It always bothers me that they never used the original bible quote for that.

>debtor's knell is the best of thread
pic related, and thread apropriate

I always thought this would be a really horrible last thing to hear.

Checked

Obligatory

>recap post with hot opinions
Ugh.

Maybe it's just edgy, but I adore the simplicity of this one.

Woops

patrician taste, user

posted the version with the wrong flavor text

I think you meant to post this.

Fact: this is the best Vindicate flavor text.

No, I actually don't like the poem one. Sounds lame, honestly, too try hard.

... Which will make me sound hypocritical eventually.

I always thought this was trying too hard to be clever. The second sentence is so clumsy.

This is a good execution of what Tarmogoyf was going for. I love it.

Straight out of Pratchett.

...

I love when all of card's name, flavour text, art and rules fit together perfectly, which is also the case with

I don't get it

...

Very much like this one.

Ethnu is some Phyrexian drone, and his report describes the last real battle of the war between Phyrexia and Mirra, answering two questions that I assume amount to: "Do you have news?" and "Did we win?"

>dat comfy shirt
>dat battle panty
>originally from Odyssey

I miss the pre-Jacetice League aesthetics.

...

I much prefer "awesome machinery" Phyrexia to "body horror" Phyrexia.

They both have their individual merits. I love the striking aesthetics of the Machine Orthodoxy more than the grimy cyborgs of Old Phyrexia, though.

Friend, remember that you're supposed to break each of those responses up into separate posts.

Why? That's not a rule or anything.

>telling me how to live my life

>im14andthisisdeep
>being this leddit

Why am I not surprised. Fuck you, Cage Of Hands a best.

I've always liked this one.

I miss Gerrard.

RIP Gerrard.

This concludes the Gerrard minidump. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

WotC needs to get back to quoting literature and poetry instead of Gatewatch-LARPing-as-Weatherlight dreck

What does reddit have to do with anything?

That's bit in poor taste

they're goblins, getting fired out of cannons and shit is basically the standard greeting

> He didn't have a word for "dick," but he knew it was something to defend.

That flavor text actually hits me pretty close.

That's an awesome card. I never played MTG but it feels really... Black.

That card is what got me to read up on kamigawa lore

You did not mean to post that version right.

Thats really pretentious

Why
I myself make multiple posts but there is nothing wrong with joining them together.

translated it's:
>This was the poodle's real core! A travelling scholar then? The casus is diverting.
it's a quote from goethe's faust

This become God tier when paired with pic related. Years after, and he's still keeping his word.

It bothers me how that card is from Rise of the Eldrazi while it's a perfect fitting for Oath of the Gatewatch. Why making a card for the ending of the story in the set in which it starts?

Wait, why is this card from Visions? There where Phyrexian even then?

I never understood what the art is showing.

Goblin flavor best flavor

"We kinda stopped talking to the Marsh goblins once they started fucking trees."

Because
>*it was a hologram*
>*the stars weren't aligned*

...

That's gonna be nice.

...

That's bretty good

get over yourself

Its implied on the card tardo, hes only got 3 toughness and those myr are 1/1s with infect and ones already gotten a hit in.

Phyrexians are old as fuck.

Dude, Phyrexians were the first major antagonists, ever since Antiquities back in '94.

This is the GOAT. 12 year old me was fascinated by that flavour text. Still am.

>this card is canon from darettis perspective just before he returns to fiora to get revenge and help marchesa
>koth stands alone thinking he saved elspeth
>elspeth never told ajani about mirrodin
>its been two years since elspeth died
>koth has been fighting for two years alone

What's the original quote?

Go read the bible, you heathen.

Dude is stabbing his sword into the ground to look dramatic as a subterranian explosion pierces the surface

"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
Isaiah 2:4

>Gideon dodging standard bans: the card

best one in recent memory

>whimsy done well
>literally just a line about Cthulhu

Are you trying to say the stupidest shit possible?
