Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.
That flavor text belongs on Urge to Feed, but I really don't have any grief over it. If that's the worst flavor text you've seen for a while, then you must have been living under a rock since Magic 2010.
Now the flavor text on Ember Hauler... I would've been a lot happier with something along the lines of, "Goblins hardly distinguish between flame carriers and their cargo." I'm sick of Goblins being used as dopey comic relief.
Black: Good all around. Love the Elmore and Avon swamps, but the Barony Vampire's flavor text is so bad that I'll be blacking out the text box of all of them I ever pull with a sharpie.

I think it's just more visible since it's a vanilla creature. (I've probably forgotten a few ☺☺☺☺ty ones on no-ability creatures, too, but, you know.)
Red: Tunneler in base set? Good times! Hope it comes back in M12, too, so it'll stay in Standard after ZEN rotates. Shiv's Embrace and Volcanic Strength are nice, but would be better if Red got something like Sea's Claim. Will get a set of Balloon Brigades just because I desperately want to cry out the flavor text whenever I play them. The Avon mountain is good, but I don't care for any of the others. I'll just use my Portal or Beta or Revised basics.
I rather like the Barony Vampire's flavor text -- paints a picture of a world. The curfew bit is rather different than the usual approach, implies an order that's more interesting.
Traditional vampires could not enter homes of the living according to legend unless invited in. So a vampire stalking those who leave their homes at night so they could feed is common.:teach: (Unless of course there is a literal curfew law of that)
I like the flavor text as well, it doesn't hint that it's T:TG either. As vampires drink blood in myth, nothing new.
"The enemy is getting too close. Quick, inflate the toad!"--
Awesome flavor text for the GBB.

How did John Avon become the best land artist EVAH! Also, love the art for blood tithe.
I think the Elmore art is equally good but seriously, Avon is a beast at rendering land art.

Is he the same guy that did the Dragonlance book covers?
Completely agree.
Thanks for the scans!
Thanks to Spiderboy4 of High~light Studios for the awesome sig.

Looking for a card alterer that takes commissions specifically on a blank playmat. PM me please.
That was actually the original flavor text the first time they printed Goblin Balloon Brigade. It's such a classic, though.
Play (verb): Cast/Play
RFG: Exile
CIP: Enters the Battlefield
Fetchland: Arid Mesa
Shockland: Watery Grave

Indeed! lol check my sig

Unless magiccards.info is missing an art, it's a new flavor text, and a good one.
