I still get teary-eyed over this flavor text.
"Who's the crazy one now!?" — Torgle, mountaintop boatmaker
I’d love to find out who actually wrote that line of text instead of it being on the bottom of selfless spirit
In the gathering there is strength for all who founder, renewal for all who languish, love for all who sing.”
—Song of All, canto 642
crossing my fingers that y'all brought him back to write more for Return to Lorwyn!
When I started, everything was about Urza being an insane geniuses who was right. First card I ever saw calling him out to his face.
Dark confidant does such a good job as a showcase piece for color pie.
Catch on lava axe still makes me smile.
i think the flavor text of War Report is my favorite paragraph of official Magic story writing. the use of details and ellipsis is great
"Lost in the woods"
- Gavony euphemism for "found in the woods"
y'know, in the style of older Magic flavor text.
(which i think would've been better than the actual flavor text, but hey)
there's something about "good hit, good hit!" that i find really striking, so full of character that it instantly convinces of you the plausibility and existence of its speaker. for him it's tuesday, y'know? DELIGHTFUL

Step 2: Put cousin in cannon
Step 3: Find another cousin."
When the flavor text has actual flavor.
I can tell just from these 4 cards EVERYTHING esper stands for.
Like the Archenemy is gradiose, but also self absorbed and petty.
Such an effective line to explain and heighten the flavor of the card.
(no seriously all these choices are awesome)
That doesn't mean you can say it at other times.
Meaningful: Rancor.
Niv: an equation of his name is fun for a math person like me
Surgeon Commander: I also like creative templating
Scion:I love dragons

From Earth Servant (Jestus Dreya Legend, when?)

"Catch!"
"A strict upgrade from the Cinder Hatchet."
We need a Cinder Hatchet too.
Just like, ALL of her story, being depicted on flavor text, just simply gorgeous
Also im actively working on an v-essay script about this card and the art of subtext, archeology, and reading the past. Most listing of the Scroll of Beginning's verses are the wrong order, what that means, blah blah
