Soliciting Flavor Text For Some Of My Cards

[Marco]

I am not particularly good with coming up with flavor text, and I have only created flavor text for one of my cards. A lot of the cards I create tend to have a lot of text, which doesn't leave enough room for flavor text. However, the follow cards do and I welcome any flavor text you can suggest (for any or all of them).

I oft admire how nature, wise and frugal, could commit such disproportions.

Any ideas on who I can attribute the above quote to?

[Rando]

Did you not like any of my ideas?  I thought a couple of them were pretty good.

[Jacob Orlove]

Did you not like any of my ideas?  I thought a couple of them were pretty good.

Yeah, you had some real gems in there.

[Marco]

Rando: None of your flavor text suggestions really knocked my socks off, except for Actors' Guild. I'll probably use it:

The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. -- William Shakespeare, Hamlet

I liked Goblin Archer, Reckless Dragon, and Rod of Dispel Magic too.

I appreciate your efforts. I guess everyone else is saving all of the good flavor text for their own cards...

(I don't know if Jacob was being sarcastic or not...)

[Rando]

I thought the ones for Yavimaya Trailblazer, Sand Blast and Goblin Loudmouth were good.  The flavor I put for the Rod was a joke, for the most part, but it grows on me.  

Oh well, just trying to help.  Use what you want and discard the rest.

Oh, and I'm glad you remembered the correct Hamlet quote.  It was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your card.

[Jacob Orlove]

(I don't know if Jacob was being sarcastic or not...)

No, I thought several of them were very good. The hamlet one was obviously amazing, but there were other ones that I thought were definitely good enough to use. I'm too lazy to read them all again, though.

[Marco]

I like your flavor text for Rod of Dispel Magic because it was a joke. It made me laugh out loud.

I don't read the novels, are Hanna and Gerrard both still alive?

Gerrard: "This one doesn't do anything either!"
Hanna: "I'm not going over this again."

[Marco]

24 hour clock. One last chance to immortalize your flavor text on my cards! I want to close this thread, I have lots of new card ideas to post...

[Jebus]

I don't read the novels, are Hanna and Gerrard both still alive?

No...they are quite dead.

[Marco]

Really? Didn't Gerrard kill Urza? (Or Urza sacrifice himself...?)

[Jebus]

Really? Didn't Gerrard kill Urza? (Or Urza sacrifice himself...?)

If I recall correctly, Gerrard eventually cut off Urza's head (which didn't kill him).

They both sacrficed themselves.

[Matt]

Jebus is right, losing his head didn't kill Urza. He died when he gave up his powerstone eyes (to Karn, which made him into a planeswalker). He may have done something with his eyes before eventually letting Karn get them, I don't remember.

[Laurie Cheers]

In case anyone cares, Hanna died of the Phyrexian plague.
I'm sure there's a card that shows it, but I can't find it in Gatherer...
