Hatred Outlives the Hateful - A look into MtG Flavor text

[JayPeezy]

Not sure how many people here play or are familiar with Magic: The Gathering but there's a really great Youtuber who makes video essays in the style of someone like kaptainkristian that are pretty chill and informative about various MtG stuff (mostly art).

I think its a decent watch even if you're not into the game itself.

really cool video, but I can see why you'd get lost a bit without knowing anything about the game, like when he refers to rules text as oracle text.

For me, the whimsical flavors have always been some of the best, like Reckless Spite

Ah shit, flavor text. It's great, except when it's not. Here's a some fan favorites:

Doesn't even need flavor text

My biggest regret about not collecting MTG cards is missing out on flavor text.

I don't even play MtG but this one has stuck with me for a while
