Ugh, so many text about right and wrong, about shields and courage, about light and hope..so many to choose from
But I vote for Flicker.

Tormented Angel, definitely. I've always been confused over this flavor text. Angels can't fly?
No, from what I understand, Tormented Angel is an outcast from heaven. The flavor text suggest that she would be rather dead than wandering the world as an outcasted angel.

Flicker for me. Very awkwardly worded. I actually like Tormented Angel, personally...it's poetic. Fend Off I agree is horrible, but Flicker is just confusing and weird under the pretense of being philosophical.
I also like Telepathic Spies . I'm going to go with Sigil of Sleep. It's just bland. It's 'I'm so blue, I thought about being white one time, but really I'm just blue.'
Now, I don't know much about the story, but reading these flavor text really made me hate this Rayne woman.
So yeah, my vote goes to Thieving Magpie.

Just read through about half this thread...very entertaining stuff. Not enough pun love though - Catapult Master and Crashing Boars are some of my favorites
(and I annoyed my friends for weeks with a deck with 4 Sadistic Augermages and lots of ways to bring them back - everytime one came into play..."DON'T WORRY, I KNOW THE DRILL!!!")
For this one, it's a toss up between Metathran Elite and Sigil of Sleep. They're both mind-boggling stupid (his eyes look completely normal! you ARE using arrows!), but I'll have to give it to the Sigil.
Sigil of Sleep comes back from behind to take the win. Always nice to see the underdog lose...errr...win? Hard to say how much of an honor it really is to be the worst in your field.
I'll vote for Carnival of Souls. I'll give you that it's funny. But when you take a step back, objectively you have to say that it's pretty dumb. It has no relevance to either the artwork, card name, or card ability. It's just a random silly quote injected to make you laugh. I can't approve.

What's there not to get on Ravenous Rats? Davvol eats them, just as he eats skirges and people and stuff. He's just being a bit sarcastic here, probably because the rats ate some of his books.
Ravenous Rats.
re: Phaxe. This list was made directly after spoilers ended, and I hadn't read most of the uncommons or commons. Afterwards, I was too lazy to change it. I still believe that #s 2 to 5 are good.
Everything Else = 0
Another easy win, this one going to Wheel of Torture.
Which ends our look at Urza's Legacy, since none of the lands have any flavor text on them.
Let's begin anew with Urza's Destiny White.
Passing the buck to someone else to start us off.
But I vote for Flicker.

Agreed. But Flicker makes least sense, so it also gets my vote.

Even so, the play on words there is misleading.
Flicker = 5
Fend Off = 1
Tormented Angel = 1
Flicker takes it.
How about Urza's Destiny Blue?
Telepathic Spies for me. Bad play on words, and not even particularly amusing.
So yeah, my vote goes to Thieving Magpie.

Any opinions on Urza's Destiny Black?

This sort of humour doesn't fit anything related to Phyrexia IMO. It is misplaced and not terribly funny to begin with.
