My vote this round will be for Player X.

What's is cool is that this was written by a French priest who, after a crisis of faith, turned to secular historical and philosophical criticism.

I feel that this background really gives a greater depth to the magic card, in that we can imagine the nihilism Renan is imagining in light of his broken faith. And this is represented by the constant, unavoidable killing of the magic card.

But alas! 'Clever' wear-bear puns are preferred to historical flavor text. Wouldn't want to get in the way of 'world-building'...

Dude...

King Cheetah

Sorry I burned down your village. Here's some gold.

And Wave of Indifference

"Darius?"
"Yeah?"
"There's a goblin sneaking up on you."
"So?"
"Just sayin'."

Some of my favorite flavor texts would be:
5th ed. Righeousness - "I too shall be brought low by death, but until then let me win glory."
—Homer, Iliad, Book XVIII

DCI White Knight - "When good men die their goodness does not perish,/ But lives though they are gone." — Euripides, Termenidae, trans. Morgan

Portal prosperity - "Life can never be too good."

Juzam Djinn - "Expect my visit when the darkness comes. The night I think is best for hiding all."Ouallada

I'll digress from here.
