Hello everyone! I wanted to start an ongoing thread that I hope will be long-lasting and fun for everyone. The concept is simply to design a card based on the flavor text generated from a user above you. After you create a card based on the flavor text from above, feel free to post your own flavor text and let the chain continue. Flavor text alone can drive a card in numerous directions, and so this will be a fun exercise in creating cards.
To start, I leave you with this, and hope that everyone has fun in participating:
Everything is lost in time; even time itself becomes meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe.
