Best Magic the Gathering Flavor Text

What do you think is the MTG flavor text?

My vote goes to the one from Obliterate:

"The enemy has been destroyed, sir. So have the forest, the city, your palace, your dog . . ." —Keldon soldier

[Kev]

I like the one from Crucible of Worlds

Amidst the darkest ashes grow the strongest seeds.

[Sphinx]

Double Negative flavor text is awesome

I'm reading the one from Addle (Invasion) its good:

This one, from Channel the Suns:

To some the birth of the fifth sun was a sign of doom. To others it was a sign of salvation. But to all it was a sign.

The one from Pulse of the Fields is my favorite:

this one is cool from intruder alarm

Mine has always been that of Winter's Grasp:
