Just the name is enough, the flavor text makes it better. :)

Lux Cannon
This one has one of my favorite texts

"There are few problems that can't be solved by putting a hole in the world."

Most epic flavor text, bar NONE has to be Time of Heroes:

Rules: As Farewell to Arms comes into play, choose a hand attached to an opponent's arm. When the chosen hand isn't behind its owner's back, sacrifice Farewell to Arms. If you do, that player discards his or her hand . . . of cards. (The lawyers wouldn't let us do it the other way.)
