Ravnica flavor texts 

Agrus Kos, Wojek VeteranAgrus Kos, Wojek Veteran
Lieutenant Kos has never met a group of recruits he could not inspire or a mob he could not quell.
Autochthon Wurm
The trainer awoke to begin the journey from the wurm's tail to its head. The sun was setting when she arrived.
Barbarian Riftcutter
"Riftcutters are suicidal anarchists, waving those lightning axes around so much that the walls are as likely to fall as their foes." - Heruj, Selesnya initiate
Bathe in Light
"Truth shines even in darkness. Those who march on the side of truth walk always in righteous light."
Benevolent Ancestor
Although the door is flimsy and the lock pathetically small, Josuri's family never fears the night outside.
Birds of Paradise
Long ago, birds of paradise littered the skies. Thanks to the city's sprawl, most now exist as pets of society's elite.
Blazing ArchonBlazing Archon
"Through the haze of battle I saw the glint of sun on golden mane, the sheen of glory clad in mail, and I dropped my sword and wept at the idiocy of war." - Dravin, Gruul deserter
Blockbuster
Vendors hung cords heavy with roots and laid out boxes of salted meat, unaware of the fiery disaster swiftly approaching.
Bloodbond March
The Golgari support a vast army because death never ends its soldiers' service.
Boros Recruit
"Look at this goblin, once wild, untamed, and full of idiocy. The Boros have given him the skill of a soldier and focused his heart with a single cause." - Razia
Boros Signet
"Have you ever held a Boros signet? There's a weight to it that belies its size - a weight of strength and of pride." - Agrus Kos
Boros Swiftblade
When the Boros Legion attacks, swiftblades enter the fray first. They pick off the archers and mages, softening the enemy front before the flame-kin and giants go in.
Bramble Elemental
Ravnica is a seamless urban tapestry, each city bleeding into the next. In abandoned corners, however, nature has begun to reclaim what it once owned.
BrightflameBrightflame
"Let the pyres of the unbelievers light our way." - Razia
Caregiver
"The guilds each believe its way is right, but their ways only bring blood to Ravnica's streets and tears to Ravnica's families."
Carrion Howler
They chase tirelessly after the bone-carts that speed along the streets of the Plague Quarter.
Carven Caryatid
So-called "old wood" is rare in deforested Ravnica. Statues carved from it are said to house the last of the ancient nature spirits.
Centaur Safeguard
Swift, strong, and selfless, the centaurs are the shields of the Conclave.
Cerulean Sphinx
"About the sphinx, I have mixed feelings. Their wisdom I crave, but their secrecy I can't tolerate." - Szadek
CharChar
Izzet mages often acquire their magic reagents from dubious sources, so the potency of their spells is never predictable.
Chorus of the Conclave
"We are many, yet one. We are separate in body, yet speak with a single voice. Join us in our chorus."
Civic Wayfinder
"These alleys are not safe. Come, I can guide you back to the market square."
Cleansing Beam
"Justice is toothless without punishment. Righteousness cannot succeed without the suffering of the guilty." - Razia
Clinging Darkness
There's an experience worse than blindness-it's the certainty that your vision is perfect and the horror that there's no world around you to see.
