Unlike gothic horror, fairy tales don't have a large supply of mythological creatures that make sense for populating the card file at common. I haven't the foggiest ideas what a white 2/2 flyer or red 4/1 looks like in fairy tale world.HavelockVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698268009797139251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-65763973831037952892014-03-25T08:36:33.945-04:002014-03-25T08:36:33.945-04:00Happy Thoughts was my favorite design this week, a...Happy Thoughts was my favorite design this week, although it didn't quite match the art of we had to work with. Actually, the art was tricky for most of us, since it had so much going on. <br /><br />I am most surprised by all the reprints suggested for this week's challenge. <br /><br />Speaking of which, another reprint I thought might work for the Pan and Wendy section of the Art was Time of Need. I can imagine a Neverland inspired set is going to have a fair number of legendary creatures.<br /><br />Kudos to everyone who submitted flavor text. It was pretty good!Nich Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686832423418814443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-60294669570753063572014-03-24T22:30:49.660-04:002014-03-24T22:30:49.660-04:00Magic likes to tap into the zeitgeist for inspirat...Magic likes to tap into the zeitgeist for inspiration for sets, and the current trend of a revisiting of the classic stories makes a Fairy Tale inspired world a fairly good possibility in the next few years. Think of the popularity of public domain fairy tales meets the modern world in shows like Once upon a Time or a comic like Fables. That said, Magic doesn't do straight copies of classic stories anymore so it would have it's own Magic-y take on it. And it would also have to be darker (Like the forthcoming Maleficent or Wicked). I mean, a Magic take on the classics would also need to do away with the incredibly dated racial and gendered themes present in so many of these stories, just see the recent news about casting in Joe Wright's Peter Pan. <br /><br />Honestly, I think a Fairy Tale world beset by wicked villains would be a go to setting for a top down design right now.Wobbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494097707732649864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-9905915165171251672014-03-24T21:18:29.828-04:002014-03-24T21:18:29.828-04:00Yes!

Either it's Neverland being invaded by something, or Neverland being a small part of a larger world (maybe one of the wedges in the wedge block)Axxlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978784390180005187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-68988426658704446462014-03-24T15:09:20.199-04:002014-03-24T15:09:20.199-04:00Neverland feels like a very awkward flavor fit for...Neverland feels like a very awkward flavor fit for a game that involves wizards summoning powerful warriors and monsters to fight to the death with one another.
