There used to be one, but the thread creator stopped partway through. I might be persuaded to resurrect it and continue where they left off. Anyone else wanna see that?
To the tally...
I'll break the tie here in favor of Bramblecrush. It's a bit odd to say the least...Garruk may be savage and one with nature, but this quote is just absurd. The Sleuth is a lesser culprit IMHO.

Traveler's Amulet, because the person who wrote it doesn't know what the word "swaddle" means. Swaddling refers to wrapping an object in cloth, or restraining it in some way. You can't swaddle a knight in plate armor, unless the armor is somehow hindering the knight's movement.
I don't really hate Cellar Door that much. It's cheesy, but not offensively bad like Red's stuff.
Nothing too terrible here, but I'll vote for Woodland Cemetery. Only the first two lines are really necessary. The third is just superfluous and honestly ruins the whole thing for me.
If I could "like" or "upvote" you right now, I would.
Quote from Boing »
Into the Maw of Hell is a name so awesome, it deserves its own song.
It would be about a world of brown spikes and red fire, where men fight and scream and become blurry masses. Then it would change to somber, we learn that this glorious place exists only in Raymond Swanland's head. To visit it, you must enter the maw of Hell itself.
Sulfur Falls for me, too. It just tries to hard to explain the color scheme. Anyway, aren't the Skirsdag pretty solidly RB anyhow? Given all the existing Skirsdag related things, it's crazy demon worshippers. They don't look too Grixis to me.

Kor Sanctifiers. Not horrible, but I don't think anything else is worse.
This ^
Not awful, but given the lack of flavor text at all in White for Planechase, and from the few examples there are, it is the weakest.

Dregscape Zombie gets my vote. It's been said before, but this is one of the most obvious and dull zombie flavor texts to see print on a Magic card. If you minus the reference to Grixis, this could go on literally any other zombie card.

You could vote for Hideous End for being just as cliched. I also find the disparity between Innocent Blood and Dregscape Zombie entertaining, especially because they're in the same set.
You got 99 attackers but I'm blocking with 1.

Voting for Bramblecrush in the mean time.

Bramblecrush = 5
Woodland Sleuth = 4
Darkthicket Wolf = 1
Bramblecrush has been dreamcrushed.
Evil Twin wins by default in the Gold category, so we'll move past that and onto Innistrad Artifact.
I'll vote for Cellar Door. It could have been interesting and thought-provoking, but instead they made it boring and cliched.
Sure, why not?
I don't really hate Cellar Door that much. It's cheesy, but not offensively bad like Red's stuff.
Thanks to Syndarion of Aeternal Studios for my sig!
Cellar's Door = 2
It's close, but Traveler's Amulet wins it.
Lastly: Innistrad Land

Join the Poetry Running Contest!
And honestly, is there a large difference between a chapel and a church anyway?
My vote? Sulfur Falls. Seems like they're trying a bit to hard to justify the colors and the name.
I second.
i thought woodland cemetery was funny
Thirded on Sulfur Falls.

The votes are in, and Sulfur Falls is taking home the win. Giving it a second glance, the flavor is pretty forced. :/
That wraps up Innistrad, which means we're back to voting on promo sets.
We'll start with Planeshift White.
Kor Sanctifiers for me. Seems like something a ruffian with no respect for possessions would say; certainly not a cleric.

Next up: Planechase Blue
Keep Watch for me. The repetition has to be leading somewhere interesting. Here, it goes in a cliched direction. Nothing memorable to see here.

It's super close, but Keep Watch gets there.
Next: Planechase Black
