Have You Ever Kept a Card in a Deck Just for Its Flavor Text?
I’m working on upgrading by [[Sethron, Hurloon General]] deck, which is obviously focused on Minotaurs. There’s not a huge selection of them out there, so I can’t be too choosy about what makes the cut. That said, I’m currently about 30 cards heavy and came around to [[Canyon Minotaur]]. By any objective measure, it’s not a good card (a four-cost 3/3 vanilla creature), but I can’t quite bring myself to cut it because its flavor text makes me laugh every single time I see it. To be clear, I’m referring to the flavor text on the reprints in the core sets, not the original printing from Conflux.
Have any of you had a card you just couldn’t bring yourself to cut because of its flavor text?
