Had just started playing Magic and saw "You control target player's next turn." in Mirrodin spoilers, it goes real hard.

WotC_Jay confirmed in Discord the Arena version of the set doesn't have flavor text. I'm not sure if that means the Magic Online version also lacks flavor text though.

What's your all-time favorite flavor text?

"Altered by Phyrexian science, corrupted by black mana, and twisted by rage, Ertai still looked in the mirror and saw only glory."
The Magic: The Gathering card Ertai, the Corrupted. From the Planeshift expansion released in . A white, blue, black Legendary Phyrexian Human Wizard with power and toughness 3-4. Illustrated by Mark Tedin, the artwork depicts a bald Ertai in oversized Phyrexian armor. He has several black metal spikes piercing his scalp, giving the impression of a few hairs. His arms are outstretched and in his hands is a mogg's head. The mogg has a contorted expression on its face and its mouth is open. From Eartai's arms, just above his elbows, two smaller, three-fingered arms stick out. They are weaving a spell that takes the appearance of a light blue mist. The card's flavor text reads "Altered by Phyrexian science, corrupted by black mana, and twisted by rage, Ertai still looked in the mirror and saw only glory."
