I like the flavor text for desprate ravings
"her mind was quite gone, yet she spoke nothing but truth."
also voiceless spirit

I'd have to go with Back from the Brink  . With that set, the flavor text in Innistrad was dissapointingly serious in almost all cases.

Without a doubt, Tribute to Hunger  is by far my favorite card in respect to Flavor. I like that the card is in *present* tense, in reflection to art and the story happening in the flavor text. It just is a bueatiful one frame comic.

Not sure if I have a favorite, but the one that comes to mind the most is Woodland Cemetery  's.

I want to complain since I don't often. Intangible Virtue  is my least favorite. I don't understand how virtue, intangible or so, affects tokens in particular. Moreover, I don't understand why you thought it would be okay to inadvertently classify all tokens as spirits of the dead.

I found the text for Village Cannibals  suitably chilling, especially in the way it ties in with the art.

In the context of just that flavor text, it does talk about spirits, Innistrader geists in particular, but whole hosts of planeswalkers from legions of different worlds could cast the same spell under different circumstances.
To me, it just represents a situation in which a whole lot of otherwise bland and faceless supporters or thralls of a planeswalker (the tokens) are imbued with a magically empowered sense of the righteousness of their cause and this intangible sense of virtue makes them stronger and more committed than they would otherwise have been. This could apply to geists on Innistrad or saprolings on Ravnica or those holier-than-thou squirrels on Dominaria or even eldrazi spawn on Zendikar, depending on which planeswalker's doing the casting and why.

My favorite flavor text comes from Villagers of Estwald  / Howlpack of Estwald  . It is amusing that you have an entire town full of werewolves.
