Only the finest flavor text makes it into Hearthstone. It requires wisdom, finesse, and a strong grasp of the pun-tacular. If you cannot register a chuckle, a snort, or even an eye-roll, then you don't have what it takes to make it in this business.
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
You must choose one of the winners from Season 8, and write the flavor text for that card!
You must also include the image of the card you're writing text for. All the winners can be found in our Finale Poll.
Competition Process

Discussion Topic Rules
Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "Edible Arrangements" mini-competition. To make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of the entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
Advertising Your Entry. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your entry for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!

I'll probably think of some better ones for other entries, but for now here's one for my card. I'm a little HearthPwn'd out at the moment, making all of these threads (including the other Mini Comps you can't see yet D:)...
"How a bunch of dead bodies stuffed into a tin octopus amounts to a 10/10 is anyone's guess, but I'm not about to question it."

Here's the thing I have with these flavor text competitions.
Often times I see a flavor text, and I just see random text that doesn't make much sense to me, but others see it and see something magical out of it, or something like that.

Yeah, flavour text is always super subjective, which is why it's the perfect Mini Comp, really.
Oftentimes a reference, joke or clever word-play that you really enjoy might go over somebody else's head entirely, or they may just not have the same sense of humour. I personally adore puns, but others abhor them. I find the best solution is just to amuse yourself, and hope you amuse someone else too =P
I have to go, so a quick copy-paste to each place. This is an ode to Lathy and his Trial card; I wrote one for each of mine, so it seems only right I write one for yours:
A cold heart can achieve anything, hardened against this world's perils. Anger, fear, passion, love; can you resist them?
In my expansion, the flavor text of each Trial card is a dark challenge or Faustian bargain presented to the character by the Sha seeking to control them. The character/player then needs to demonstrate they can overcome that negativity (the Burden) to grow as a person.
Working backwards from what you gave me, I figured the Sha in question must be Apathy.

I had to do it. EDIT: Added another.

How about this one:
“Yo momma so fat, she needs four warlocks just to summon her!” - popular imp joke
My entry for this mini comp. Yes, I know, I'm a genius, no need to tell me ;P
CheeseETC already posted a similar joke for this card.
Oh... damn...
well how about this one?
There’s really not much to say about this one.
I have nothing better to do, so here's another: yo mama so fat, she got infected by old gods.
Final Poll is now up!
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
