The block is loosely based on Grimm's Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, Mother Goose and the stories of Hans Christian Anderson. Think talking animals, Princes and Princesses, Big Bad Wolves and a slew of evil step-mother slash witches.

This is an early brainstorm session with a minor twist. Instead of deciding what this world will look like directly, the Head Designer has asked us all to create appropriate artifacts that fit the theme of this world, so we'll have an understanding of what the environment's landscape might look like.

For the record, we're not looking for items from specific fairy tales, but very close analogues are acceptable and encouraged. So, for example, a poison apple that puts its eater to sleep would work well... but flavor text that talked about a special tree in the woods that grew said apples would make the card even better, since the card contains elements from Snow White, but is it's own separate thing.

Shiny idea. Must have a think. Shame you limited it to artifacts though.

I heard that restriction breeds creativity. ;)

I don't like leading my own challenge, but I thought of Sack O' Saint Arnes and doubted I'd be stealing mind space form anyone.

It's a good idea for a challenge. I can think of lot of things that are sort of related, but it's surprisingly hard to find something that works as a card and feels faerie-tale-y.

I started with Bottomless Pitcher

Added Silver Gilded Road.

Hm. Picture of Dorian Gray might fit here too, actually.

­Magic Beans

Make room for a Walking House.

­Red Cloak and Selkie's Skin

­Glass Knife

I made The Sword in the Stone.

Added Second Skin.

­Land of True Giants

­Shard of Ice, Isolation Tower And I kinda want to do something with that comb you drop behind you that forms a barrier - but that keeps wanting to be a green wall creature or enchantment. Huh, I didn't do any artifact creatures; and I had intended to subvert the challenge wording by doing so. Oh well.
