Flavor text is italicized (but not in parentheses) text on a card that serves to provide a mood or give background information on the game world, but has no effect on gameplay.
From the Comprehensive Rules:
- 207. Text Box
- 207.2. The text box may also contain italicized reminder text (in parentheses), which summarizes a rule that applies to that card, and italicized flavor text, which has no game function, but like the illustration, adds artistic appeal to the game.
