General Terrible flavor texts

Groan. This would actually have been pretty good with just the 1st sentence.

That would have been pretty mediocre as just a 2/3 flash for {2}{W}{U}! I mean, Hussar Patrol isn't exactly high on anyone's list of cubeable Azorius cards! :p
Flying makes it a bit better, but boring. I think the third line is actually what makes this card interesting!

I'm sad the Boros and Dimir uncs are so boring/overcosted. I had high hopes after seeing the rest, but alas :/

Are any of them cubeable?
 
There's just so many ways to make that one better. That second sentence sounds like something you'd read on 9gag. Even just as simple a change as "Mostly our things" or "Especially our things" at least puts it in mediocre territory.
EDIT: the "well, okay," has got to go is what im saying
 
I feel like there are so many flavor texts in Magic that would have been better if they would have cut out a sentence or a section of it. Like that zombie. Take away that 2nd line and it's pretty sweet.

"Hur Durr! I build big zombie from dead things! I maked wings. See!" Even?

'Death Trigger' + metal band just makes me think of this:

I was thinking to myself just the other day that threads like this one make me happy that Riptide lab exists.
 
Joel Stroetzel from Killswitch used to work at the local music shop near my house when I was in middle/high school. He's a wicked nice dude.
