So basically, for some reason, wind drake - 1 toughness = draw a card + random bonus flavor text?

Cool. I have a 2/3 chance that one of my nominations will win.
With only three cards up for the prize I'll have to be stingy with my votes.

Ogre Mongrelkeeper - Pretty good flavour with the dogs protecting their master. Mostly it just looks really fun to play with.
Cloudwing Drake - Bestow and aura swap? Can you still swap it once it becomes a creature? Crazy stuff. Playing this then aura swapping is a neat way to draw cards. Neat but perhaps impractical.
Algebraic Entity - Cool Johnny card. Timmy might be able to get aboard with an indestructible pseudohydra. Blowing other creatures up with pump spells is fun too. I also like this because it's just so darn unique.

Vote goes to the Entity.

you are allowed to vote for any number of cards, in case you thought this was the same kind of poll as last week

No I realized that. I just figured that giving a vote to 2 cards would almost be more like voting against the third than actually voting for two cards in this case.

Better than wind drake? Not the end of the world.
Cantripping wind drake? That's getting into uncomfortable power levels.
As for the "flavor text" thing, I meant the whole aura swap part, because really, why would you bother playing gimmicky, blowout-prone auras to swap it with when you could just play it as a cantripping wind drake?

aura swap allows you to re-use it to draw cards

And just bestowing it lets you get two cantrips out of the deal.

I won't try to sway people too much on my card. But I like it.
