Post your favorite flavor text, quotes, etc. anything!
While I am reminiscing this is something an old friend said to me:
I've got a plan. First you reveal to me that you are actually a reincarnation of the highest member of the Azorius Senate, then you use your power to smite our enemys. Ok?

For gods sake man, it was timestamped 2012!!!!!

I was trading with IBTrickey and one of the cards was Goblin Offensive.  I said "check out the flavor text.  It's amazing."  After the trade, I wanted to post a flavor text thread but searched for one first. 

Funny enough the app asked me if I was sure that I wanted to post because it had been so long.  :)
