RAVNICA ALLEGIANCE has been fully spoiled, so as I have been doing for the last couple of sets, here are my picks for the best art and flavor texts from the newest set!

(Normally I would do this after release, but I will be quite busy at that time so I am doing it now)
I will let the art and flavor text speak for itself. And no, Seb McKinnon is not paying me to do this!
My favorite art:
My favorite flavor texts:
"Entertain me." - Rakdos, the Showstopper
"Ever wonder why you never see an old Rakdos cultist?" - Rakdos Firewheeler
"In your misguided attempt to subvert the law, you have eloquently explained why the law must exist." - Absorb
"There's nothing quite like the feeling of paying off a large debt" - Final Payment
"Vraska sees the grandeur in death but misses the hilarity" - Judith - Get to the Point
"The best construction makes the most satisfying destruction" - Domri Rade - Wrecking Beast
"Basically, we turn a bunch of little lightnings into one big lightning." - Electrodominance
"If you can see your breath, It's too late to run." - Chillbringer
""I am sewer-king!" said Rat. "I am quick and cunning and I know every tunnel."
"No, I am King!" said Zombie. "I am cold and deadly and no rot can harm me."
Then Croc came and ate them both." - Catacomb Crocodile
"Have you seen your face? Trust me, this will be an improvement." - Scourchmark
"Don't waste time aiming, you lazy gob-slug! Fire!" - Krenko, mob boss - Spear Spewer
"Life is a show, and death, It's final performance" - Blood Crypt
What's your favorite art and flavor text? Some that I liked? Some that I missed? Comment below!
I'm 100% behind Catacomb Crocodile as best flavor text of the set.
Especially if we think of Rat and Zombie as the Guilds, and Croc as Bolas ...

I imagined the Catacomb Crocodile flavor text as part of a Rakdos puppet show by the Cult Guildmage . With the part of Zombie being played by a real zombie, of course.

Fantastic bit of flavor text on these: Concordia Pegasus , Haazda Officer

Oh bummer! The text on spoiler for Pegasus was ACTUALLY: - "What makes a frog lizard any worse than a bird horse? Prejudice against the Simic, that's what. It's unfair!" -Thados Arquef, Guardian Project biomancer

I agree — Seb killed it for this set. I also think Volkan Baga really had a strong showing this set.
Catacomb Crocodile was my favorite Vorthos card overall between Hamm’s art and the flavor text.
Thanks for the fun review!
