I am making a custom {Dromar, the Banisher}. I need some flavor text. Here is a link to the deck it is going into: http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=27906.0
I'd like it to be:
⚫️cool but not cheesy
⚫️relate to the deck itself, or some of the characters in it.
⚫️be cool like that.
Winner gets their name under the artist spot, and I'll mail you a copy of the finished product.

Can we enter multiple times?

Can we enter multiple times?
Absolutely. Play to win folks. It would be a great help, and a way for me to enshrine iMtG creativity into my personal EDH deck.
Entry one:
"Blink and you're gone".
"The Banisher comes."
"Thou art banished"
"Begone from my sight!"
"He made you, but this will unmake you"
"It's a bad day to be a token"
"Remind me to never be a Token."
-A walker from Selesnya
"Gaze out across you vast army once more, for when you blink, all is lost."
"Aether to aether. Mana to mana..."
"I'm looking at you Selesnya!"
"Those poor goblins never stood a chance"
"There is only one being that hath ever stood up to Storm Crow and stayed whole- and he must die on sight."

Keep in mind -
Mlerner12 did not win. This is merely an example!
UPDATED EXAMPLE (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/DromartheBanisherexample_zpsdfbd4a1e.jpg)
"Oh no! It's the street sw-"

The opposition was fierce. They were surrounded, and had dwindling supplies, they blinked. And not a single troop remained among the enemy.

Making examples out of them is actually pretty fun. Again, Birdbrain did not win - but if he did it would look like this. (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/DromartheBanisherexample2_zps6c664481.jpg)

I like some of these submissions so far. Going to be a tough one. Still waiting for others. If this works out I might do another.

I'm completely floored by some of these. They're absolutely great, I'm looking into more alters so that I can include some of these!
If I were to call the contest right now, I wouldn't be upset at all with any of the submissions. So at this point, I want to keep is running because they're getting better and better.
Also, can't you wait til Commander II they might reprint the allied tri-color Dragons in it.

I attributed the quote to Jace Beleren, because I like Jace...and I wanted him to say that.
But there is more! I made 3 other themed cards to accompany Dromar on his journey though my deck.
LordJanova quote represents Vindicate (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/Vindicate_zpsff4d54f6.png)

Thank you everyone who participated. There were so many good ones I just had to make additional cards for them.
*Fixed the problem I had with Quote alignment, to reflect more accurately how flavor text quotes are.
Sadface.jpg I lost...:(
yes! I always knew this day would come! I'm so glad to have lost, it was so much fun along the way too. I would just like to thank S717, Mlerner, ConanEdo, and especially Dudecore for making this all possible. you guys rock! shout out to my fans. I'm here all week. try the veal. no seriously veal is amazing. I lose! :D

I agree. I probably wouldn't use it, future sight cards sorta look like they belong in a different game, but the artwork + feel go together nicely.

Where do you get your images from?
Well it started out as just searching through hundreds of pictures of dragons and picking out some things. However, it appears that the dragon in question is "Sindragosa", the Lich King's pet - from Warcraft.
I should have know, as I used to play the Warcraft games and WoW briefly.

Are you actually painting or printing and pasting?
Printing directly onto a deinked card
These are all beautiful, I love the action picture used for vindicated.
By far dromar was my favorite, but I gotta give props to cryptic for almost beating it.
Cool art change for the charm. :)

Keeping with the Jace thing, Maybe «Child, there is a place where The memories of Dromar's victims are preserved, for all to access, but it's location is long forgotten... I tink..." -Jace to someone.
Depends on what you like. If you want dragon to pop, new.
If you want it to blend in and look mystical-like old.
I like older personally though :)
Maybe you should post all the cards in the deck, and then we can come up with cool flavor texts. :)

Is the deck. Those 8 cards are the ones I would like to change over.
The original {Force of Will} art doesn't go with anything, so I want to change it.
The rest of the artwork I found, and matched it up to card I think should be updated - like {Vindicate} (the Weatherlight?) {Tendrils of Agony} (a win condition in my deck, and art that doesn't match) and {Condemn} (art seemed to remind me of Condemn, and it's one of my few target spells)
New alters:
Force of Will (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/ForceofWill_zps8ac1e85e.png)

Tendrils. :)
i like the newer one because of the background on the art it feels realistic
Suddenly the feathers stopped tickling...
Tendrils of agony.

Well I certainly cannot take credit for anything but asking for Flavor text. Artwork is all Blizzard Entertainment, card names and formatting are all Wizards of the Coast.
But the simply answer is, Yes, it would be an honor.
