Source 1 (Flaxen Intruder - "In the original fairy tale, Goldilocks is mostly just an intruder. We liked adding the shift to making her a bear hunter. That gave her a different feel than she's ever had before and helps put our stamp on the character.") - Source 2 (Candy Trail and Three Bowls of Porridge - "The name came about during Throne of Eldraine design when we were making an exhaustive list of every possible fairy-tale concept that could be a card [...] I knew I wanted to capture the "too hot, too cold, just right" element of the story. [...] [Goldilocks] sampled each [bowl of porridge] once. How could we capture that? What if we had one activation with three options that you could only choose once each, with the abilities put in the order they happen in the story?")

La géante Beluna Grandsquall est une sacrée voleuse.

Les cinq cartes Court of Ardenvale, Court of Vantress, Court of Locthwain, Court of Embereth et Court of Garenbrig, de l'édition Wilds of Eldraine Commander Decks, forment un cycle appelé "Court".
Ce cycle est inspiré d'un autre cycle paru dans l'édition Commander Legends (voir cette anecdote).
Le nom de chacun des enchantements fait référence au nom du terrain correspondant du cycle appelé "Castle" de l'édition Throne of Eldraine (voir cette anecdote).
La carte Troyan, Gutsy Explorer représente le premier personnage, depuis la guerre du Multivers menée par les Phyrexians, à avoir changé de Plan sans être un planeswalker, comme l'indique son texte d'ambiance ainsi que son type de créature vedalken, originaire de Ravnica et non pas d'Eldraine.
Pour ce faire il a emprunté une des "percées de présage" créées par The World Tree et surtout par Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree lors des événements de l'édition March of the Machine.

[...] Building each draft archetype around a [fairy tale] story allowed us to give the set a unique feel that played into our key theme. Note that we were using the story as a jumping-off point and were doing our twist on it rather than just straight up repeating the story.
Here are the ten [two-color draft archetypes] we chose when we handed off the set from design, all of which made it to print:

White-Blue: The Snow Queen
This story obviously dealt with cold and ice, so blue seemed like a shoo-in. White seemed like the best color pair, as the effects white gave us worked best with the type of effects we wanted for the story.

Blue-Black: Sleeping Beauty
This story had to involve sleeping, which we've traditionally done in blue. It has a dark edge to it, so that made black feel like a good color to pair it with.

Black-Red: Pied Piper
Rats are black, and the Pied Piper controlling people with music felt blue or red. We already had a blue-black story we liked, and the archetype wanted to make a lot of Rat tokens, which felt more red than blue.

Red-Green: Little Red Riding Hood
The wolf, the huntsman, and the forest setting all felt very green. The second color wanted to be either black or red, and we liked black-green more for Hansel and Gretel.

Green-White: Beauty and the Beast
This was the color pair we had the hardest time with. It went through several changes, but we liked how green and white captured the wild and controlled elements of the story.

White-Black: Snow White
We knew we wanted our version of Snow White and the Evil Queen, so that put us squarely in white-black.

Blue-Red: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
This was another hard color pair to find the right story for. Blue-red wanted to deal with spells, so we had to find a story where magic went awry, and the Sorcerer's Apprentice was the best fit.

Black-Green: Hansel and Gretel
The hungry kids and forest setting felt green. The witch felt black. This was one of the first stories we settled on.

Red-White: Cinderella
We knew we wanted to do Cinderella, and it got moved all over. I think we ended up in red-white because we felt we could make it work there, and no other story seemed to fit as well.

Green-Blue: Jack and the Beanstalk
This is another one we struggled with. Green made perfect sense because of the beanstalk. Stealing everything from the giant felt blue.

Let's walk through each of the ten archetypes to talk about how Set Design handled them.

White-Blue: The Snow Queen
To match the flavor of the story, the archetype revolves around tapping and locking down creatures. Set Design liked the novelty of the archetype, but it required a lot of tweaking to ensure it wasn't unfun to play against. To solve this problem, the Set Design team decided to make it a tempo deck rather than a control deck.

Blue-Black: Sleeping Beauty
This archetype revolves around Faeries. Faeries both are most famously in blue and black and tie well to the Sleeping Beauty story. The challenge for Set Design is that all Faeries flavorfully need to fly, and building a typal deck with all fliers is very tricky. Set Design's solution for this problem was two-fold. First, they made it more of a control deck rather than a go-wide deck. Winning was about attacking with one or two Faeries, not a giant swarm. Second, they limited how many cards specifically referred to Faeries. It's more that the Faeries are the best control creatures rather than the deck being about rewarding having a lot of Faeries on the battlefield at once.

Black-Red: The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Vision Design had come up with the idea of Rat tokens that couldn't block since decks that spill out a lot of small creature tokens tend to lend themselves to be more defensive and do a good job of gumming up the battlefield. The Rat creature tokens, as handed off, allowed Set Design to be more aggressive with making them, which fit into the Rat swarm feel the fairy tale wanted. To further encourage attacking, Set Design added some rewards for your creatures dying. They also added in some sacrifice effects (along with bargain) to allow you to use the Rats as a resource if attacking wasn't an option.

Red-Green: Little Red Riding Hood
This was one of the archetypes that was handed off from Vision Design without a clear mechanical theme. Set Design liked to have one archetype that's more straightforward (less based on understanding synergy) for less-experienced drafters, and Little Red Riding Hood and its forest setting worked well for caring about bigger creatures. Set Design ended up making this archetype an aggressive midrange "beatdown" deck that just keeps casting bigger and bigger creatures and attacking.

Green-White: Beauty and the Beast
Green and white are the two colors that have the most enchantment synergy, so this archetype plays into that. While all archetypes use Roles, green-white uses them the most, especially relying on the Royal and Monster Roles, capturing the flavor of Beauty and the Beast.

White-Black: Snow White
White-black is one of the more complex archetypes. It rewards you for your own stuff dying, so it encourages Roles and other Auras, Food, and sacrifice and is the color most focused on using bargain. This is the antithesis of the red-green archetype in that it mostly relies on the understanding of the synergy between your cards.

Blue-Red: Sorcerer's Apprentice
Blue-red is traditionally the "spells matter" deck, blue and red being the colors with the lowest percentage of creatures and the highest percentage of spells. This archetype is less permanent focused and relies on things like prowess to encourage a lot of spellcasting.

Black-Green: Hansel and Gretel
Black-green ended up being the archetype about Food tokens. The color pair has candy monsters in it that get to be Food or create Food when they die. The candy monsters had shown up in initial world building, and everyone fell in love with them. A lot of the set design for this archetype was figuring out how to properly encourage other ways to use your Food tokens. The deck ended up being a midrange deck.

Red-White: Cinderella
As is normally the case, red-white is the archetype most focused on being aggro. Celebration was made specifically for this archetype, and it encourages using things like Roles and Equipment, so the Set Design team spent a lot of time making sure all the support cards were in red and white. The Adventures for this archetype tend to make Roles so that one card can generate two permanents.

Green-Blue: Jack and the Beanstalk
This was the other archetype that Vision Design handed off without a clear mechanical definition. Vision Design thought of making a control deck using Food tokens but decided that wouldn't be fun to play against. Set Design kept Food primarily black-green and decided to focus on a "mana value 5 or higher" theme. That led them to make this a ramp archetype and the archetype that cares about Adventures most. Its Adventures were small effects paired with bigger creatures.
