Geist of Saint Traft - "I didn't come to play. I came to win." (from Kamahl, Pit Fighter) Note: alright, this one is cheating, as the card isn't a part of the deck in which the flavor text would be perfect for.

This is actually a deck from someone else in my play group.

Ghoulcaller Gisa mono black control/Mono black good stuff is the deck.

Dark Confidant - "Greatness at any cost."

Reveal Army of the Damned? Take 8 and like it.

Ancient Tomb. 2 damage for 2 mana. Yum yum, please sir, may I have another? I don't mind.

Promise of Power - 5 life for 5 cards all day every day.

Grave Pact only costs 4, but I'm also willing to pay 7 for Butcher of Malakir just for the ability. The body is just a bonus.

This is a really cool idea, and I've always loved the flavor text on these first three

I've yet to find a card that better combines ability, flavour text and artwork to paint such an evocative picture of loss and an unerring will to remedy said loss.
Six simple words says it all.
