I was looking through my cards the other day for entertainment, and I was wondering. What card has your favorite flavor text (or whatever you call the text bubble at the bottom of the cards). I would have to say mine is Mr. Fixer's Tire iron. My friends and I like it so much its become an in joke between us (For those who don't know, it's flavor text is "He threw a WHAT at you?). Something I was just wondering because theres a lot of really good ones
I love Team Communication. In fact, I pretty much all of the flavor text involving the Idealist. Swift Bot is another of my all time favorites.
Ghostly Images.
I think that the best that I saw
The one that fills me with most awe
Is the firey blaze
found on Wrathful Gaze:
"FOOLISH CREATURE! STAND NOT BEFORE RA!"
I don't always look at the flavour text, but I do rather like that of Raptor Bot, just because :D.
Hey, budda, I like Turret Mode.
Platform Bot! PEW PEW Lasers!
Swift Bot is my all time favorite. It's just perfect.
I'm also a fan of Fanatic's quotes, they really get the feel of the deck going.
I like Sky-Scraper a lot more than I had thought I would, solely for her flavour text. (Also, she's a lot of fun to play, but really - the flavour text for the whole deck is just SO GOOD!)
I'm a fan of the Guise flavor text.......shocker I know. Honestly I think the flavor text is a big piece of what I like about the game. It gives you insight into the characters and tells a story. It was always annoying to me with MtG that they were never consistent with giving each card flavor text.
I second this opinion. I've annoyed our playtest group to death by insisting on reading her flavor text (in character) every time I play one of her cards.
My favorite flavor text is probably from Fright Train's deck. Something about Mr. Chomps not being optimized for flight. In particular, I enjoy Setback's and Unity's flavor text the most.
I third that opinion about Sky-Scraper. I wasn't expecting her voice to "sound" like that: a brilliant mix of directness and fish out of water. A bit evocative of Drax's "Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it." :D Adds hugely to the enjoyment of the character.
Set back has great flavor text, but I havent read much of Sky-scrapers (but I will later)
Siege-Breaker has the best flavor text.
Man, everybody already called out some of the best ones...
Still though, Idealist saying she's done with her homework so can they go fight villains is priceless.
Oh, and of course sound effects make everything better
No love for Caspit's Playground? :D
ANother good one I forgot to mention (which I almost forgot about it) is citizen dare. He may be brutally honest, but at least he's polite
Speaking of sound effects, one of my favorite parts of the PAX South tournament stream was hearing people try to pronounce "KREE-OWW!!!"
Come ON! Clearly, the best flavor text in the game is on Imbued Vitality.
Not just for its immediate silliness, but for everything it implies about the Wraith's character.
Do you also (as my fiancee and I do) clap your hands dramatically when you use the Huge power?
