In this week's Fireside Chat, we discussed the Warrior Cards and while doing so we found some flavor text which we felt was not up to par. In this week's User Challenge, we invite you guys to take the flavor text of a any card in the game (with or without flavor text) and change it to something that is more fitting in the Warcraft universe. Flavor text should be short and sweet, no more than two sentences is preferred.
The prize is a Blossoming Ancient World of Warcraft Pet (or another pet of equal value in the Blizzard store, or equal value of Riot Points). We will choose the winner in next week's Fireside Chat on the HearthPwn Twitch channel at 4pm EST so don't forget to tune in!
An example of flavor text can be found on Ala'Akir the Windlord. His flavor text reads: "He is the weakest of the four Elemental Lords. And the other three don't let him forget it."
Darn I missed it this week. When will you have the link up?
Also, I had some questions about this week's challenge:
You mentioned a discussion of Warrior cards, does the card whose text we modify have to be a Warrior card?
You say "take the flavor text of a card and change it," does that mean we can only modify cards that already have flavor text on them? Or can we add flavor text to a card which currently has none?
King Krush: Loving husband of Kandy Krush, who spends all of her spare time meticulously rearranging fruit. This has caused him to become somewhat irritable.

VoD will be posted this evening once I get it uploaded to YouTube.
To answer your other questions: It may be any card that is in Hearthstone right now. The card does not need to have flavor text associated with it but the idea is to find a card with bad flavor text and make it good, so cards without text get instant improvement! Some cards have pretty good flavor text and people messing around with them will probably not win. I've modified my original post to make it more obvious. Goodluck!
I haven't read any flavor texts on anything but thx to this I'm starting to read them and I'm laughing my pants off :D Here are the priest ones I laughed so hard at :D
Thoughtsteal: "What do you get when you cast Thoughtsteal on an Orc? Nothing!" - Tauren joke
Silence: Reserved for enemy spellcasters, evil liches from beyond the grave, and karaoke nights at the Grim Guzzler.
Circle of Healing: It isn't really a circle.
Shadow Word: Pain: It's important to note that the amount of pain isn't specified. It's really not clear how afraid you should be.
Lightwell: It isn't clear if people ignore the Lightwell, or if it is just invisible.
None of these are my competition entry they are already a flavor text I just found them really funny :D I will post my entry later on
I must say most of the flavor texts are really bad, some of the classes don't even have a single one I liked. I'm glad to have a priest main :D
I liked some of the mage ones, two rogue ones and a warlock one too but the rest of them were awful. Here are the texts I liked. I know everyone won't go through all the card lists just to see the good ones so I'm hoping noone has to and this will help other people *cough* lazy people *cough*. Some of these are horrible but I found them really punny :D
Patient Assassin: He’s not really that patient. It just takes a while for someone to walk by that he can actually reach.
Pyroblast: Take the time for an evil laugh after you draw this card.
Fan of Knives: I wouldn't say I LOVE knives, but I'm definitely a fan.
Arcane Explosion: This spell is much better than Arcane Implosion.
Arcane Missles: You'd think you'd be able to control your missiles a little better since you're a powerful mage and all.
Cone of Cold: Magi of the Kirin Tor were casting Cubes of Cold for many years before Cones came into fashion some 90 years ago.
Siphon Soul: You probably should avoid siphoning your own soul. You might create some kind of weird infinite loop.
Sorcerer's Apprentice: Apprentices are great for bossing around. "Conjure me some mana buns! And a coffee! Make that a mana coffee!"
Water Elemental: Don't summon a water elemental at a party. It'll dampen the mood.
I think there were split teams working ont he flavor text some of them are almost the same. And mage and priest ones are better than all of them. I also looked through the neutral cards there wasn't anyone I liked.
Damn I have so many flavor text ideas I'm not sure which one I want to enter with :D I'll just write some more and maybe I'll switch one of these as my entry before the chat. But for now the above is my entry.
Mind Control: Keep it away from your mother
Mind Vision: Men are advised not to use on women as the highly complicated minds can be fatal to them.
Inner Fire: Not to be confused with Outer Fire, which is regular fire.
Fade: Use it to enrage minions. Everyone gets mad when the person they follow disappears.
Holy Nova: A spell priests refuse to forget.
Shadow Madness: It's still madness, but cooler.
Mass Dispel: Because a regular dispel is not good enough.
Greater Heal: The greater the heal, the greater the jerk you become.
Shadowform: Once you go black you never go back... until the next game.
King Krush: Loving husband of Kandy Krush, who spends all of her spare time meticulously rearranging fruit. This has caused him to become somewhat irritable.
I lol'd, epic entry.
Onyxia: ODD groups go to left, EVEN groups go to right.
Fade - Now you see me... Mind Control - Just tell them turnabout is fair play when the QQ comes. Circle of Healing - It's not really a circle, but variable geometric figure of healing just doesn't have the same cachét. Mind Vision - As a bonus you'll also come away with a few juicy details of their life that you can blackmail them with. Divine Spirit - When you see this card played you can probably guess what's coming next. Inner Fire - Playing Divine Spirit and this card on a Lightwell automatically renames it LOLwell. Greater Heal - Not recommended to use this card after your opponent plays Deathwing. Thoughtsteal - You may think "What was he thinking?" when you play this card. Shadowform - Tell your raid leader to find another healer because you're going Shadow and you aren't going back. Shadow Madness - When regular madness just isn't enough. Mass Dispel - We always want to spell it with two l's as well. Mindgames - Guaranteed to produce some long and tedious therapy sessions for your opponent. Holy Nova - The effect is even cooler than Mentos and Diet Coke! Mind Blast - Leaves the corpse completely intact, so they can still have an open casket at their funeral.
Northshire Cleric - Was originally going to be called Holy Diver, but we couldn't get the rights. The art would have made more sense though. Auchenai Soulpriest - Eventually being blamed for every wipe takes it's toll and you just have to play this card. Lightwell - People would probably touch it more if it didn't moan and spray them every time they did. Shadow of Nothing - They said you couldn't get something for nothing, but you proved them wrong! Cabal Shadow Priest - If you put this card in your deck you will lose.
