MTG Flavour

~

We could not find any news-worthy items of interest for you today with regards to Worldwake spoilers (Wizards has effected a large and heavy lid on this spoiler season), so thought about railing against the new 'Duels of the Planeswalker' decks, the new (paper) product but did not want to waste the space on today's post.

Instead, what started as a brief article about Worldwake speculation based on flavour text evolved into something rather different . . . something not at all related to the next set release but a presentation of funny flavour text from Magic cards past - let's go.

Hunted Dragon
The knights see a mighty quarry. The dragon sees breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Furnace Whelp
Baby dragons can't figure out humans—if they didn't want to be killed, why were they made of meat and treasure?

Fodder Cannon
Step 1: Find your cousin.
Step 2: Get your cousin in the cannon. Step 3: Find another cousin.

Noggle Bridgebreaker
"It's always funny till someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious."

Obliterate
"The enemy has been destroyed, sir. So have the forest, the city, your palace, your dog . . ." —Keldon soldier

Werebear
He exercises his right to bear arms.

Patrol Hound
To the camp, it was a fierce and loyal protector. To the sentry's youngest daughter, it would always be her "Wuv Muffin."

Sizzle
"Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire." —Jaya Ballard, task mage

Druid's Call
Suffer the little creatures, for they may yet rise up and beat you senseless.

Skirk Prospector
"I like goblins. They make funny little popping sounds when they die."

Gorilla Titan
"I want a banana this big"

Trained Orgg
"That arm's for bashin'. That one's for smashin'. That one's for scratchin'. And that one . . . I don't know what that one's for." —Orgg trainer

Root Greevil
The root of all greevils.

Goblin Striker
There's no word in the goblin language for "strategy." Then again, there's no word in the goblin language for "word."

Orcish Artillery
"Ready . . . aim . . . fire"
"Ow"

Goblin Sky Raider
The goblin word for "flying" is more accurately translated as "falling slowly."
