Ambulatory Edifice

Feedback on Flavor Text

New 23 Jan 2023 Asked by amateurauteur 61 Comments

Can you pass some feedback on to the creative team for me? I love love LOVE the worldbuilding, art direction, and story on ONE, but a lot of the flavor text is kind of… iffy. In particular, it’s often very overwritten - the new Phyrexian Arena flavor text would be really poignant without the last sentence, but as is it feels really over-explainy and loses a lot of its effect. The flavor text for Ambulatory Edifice feels similarly overdone - the bit after the ellipses is super obvious based on the card’s art and feels like it’s Ancient Grudge levels of redundant - if it were something more conceptual like “they were wrong,” that could be legitimately chilling. Please don’t take this as too much of a knock on the set, I think it’s awesome, I’ve just seen a lot of this sentiment in the community and I thought it would be constructive for the creative team to know.


I can pass along the note.
