Seriously, this set [GTC] has some seriously awesome flavor text in it.
There's a good mixture of funny, cute, cool and meaningful text. Some examples are my favorites: totally lost, mugging and boros reckoner. Has anyone else noticed this?
How about "You may discard your hand, pay 5 life, rip this card, remove 3 digits from any number of target fingers you control, and concede at the end of the next end step rather than pay It Will Go Through!!'s mana cost.

Also High Priest of Penance and Kingpin´s Pet are somewhat hillarious in a different sense. Getting beated to death by a tough-looking Thrull sounds like a sad way to go
I like the text from Skullcrack:
"The lawmage's argument was clever and well reasoned, but Blunk's response proved irrefutable."
It's up there with Stranglehold for me.

I had forgotten about the text on skullcrack since it got spoiled so long ago it seems. Glorious.

Literacy disqualifies one from guild leadership in gruul?
Just take a look to another old flavor text to realize the kind of people Borborygmos leads:
Burning-Tree Shaman:
Gruul shamans are bent on punishing the civilized. Any act more complex than rubbing sticks together or eating with utensils is met with the stinging burn of their magic.
To acquire real "literacy" seems to me way more complex than " rubbing sticks together or eating with utensils"
it all makes so much sense now. I can see the matrix, and it looks a lot like the flintstones.

IIRC, In Dissension's story the Guilds were dissolved, and that was more or less retcon'd so RTR could happen.
A funny little nod to that

that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur

It's not funny, but the idea of this card is funny:
Knight of Obligation :3mana::symw:
Creature - Human Knight Vigilance
Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay . If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain that much life.)
He can calculate interest to six decimal places even in the midst of a deadly duel. 2/4

It's both chilling and funny.

Basically, yes. Every aspect of flavor text that I feel like i can possibly enjoy, this set panders to.
Also High Priest of Penance and Kingpin´s Pet are somewhat hillarious in a different sense. Getting beated to death by a tough-looking Thrull sounds like a sad way to go

This quote look a lot like Talrand, Sky Summoner Talrand's Invocation. Do all merfolks seek the sky now?

Yes, yes it does. Would you want some bookish nerd to lead the badass guild?
My personal favorite for flavor text is probably Executioner's Swing. The Orzhov really have their mafia credentials in place.
Whenever I read that flavor text, I remember Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, Blue Oyster Cult, and Cowbells....

The flood of deadpan Simic humour is really funny as well.
There are just so many good cards in this set that it's hard to choose.
Art is life itself.
seems about right

I think whoever came up with that one has probably been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC...
