Fairy tales Gone Dark
This challenge is inspired by @modnation675 's recent creation, Tales of Brothers Grimm!
http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/tales-of-brothers-grimm
So I'm starting a contest that has a slightly narrow scope. The objective is to make a card of some element from a Grimm Brothers fairy tale. These tales include the stories of:
Little Red Riding Hood
Three Little Pigs
Hansel and Gretal
Just to name a mere few. I'm interested in what could come out of this. The prizes and rules are as follows:
1. No old cards (if you somehow have them)
2. No editing entries.
3. Two entries per entrant.
4. No using any art of pre-existing MTG cards
Prizes:
1st: Five favorites
2nd: Three favorites
3rd: Two favorites
Honorable mentions: One favorite.
HMs will be determined by the top three place winners.
Deadline is May first.
So, what's your fairy tale?

Exile the top three cards of your library. Target opponent names a card. Choose one of the cards exiled this way at random. If the chosen card is the named card... Otherwise...
Your opponents can see what you exiled. They'll still be guessing with a 33% chance of getting it right.
Maybe their way was a little more "child-appropriate" XD
Or in Cinderella, which ends with the stepsisters' and stepmother's eyes being pecked out by ravens during the wedding, and care being refused to them, so that they wandered for weeks until they died.
Or in The Ravens, where a little girl cuts off her own finger to use as a key in a door.
Or in The Robber Bridegroom, where a young woman goes to meet her fiancé in his house in the woods and discovers that he is a member of a band of cannibals, who captured another young woman and cut off one of her fingers, which had a ring on it too small to take off. They then forced her to drink three cups of wine: one red, which caused great pain, one white, which made her woozy, and one yellow, which killed her. The finger with the ring on it flew through the air and landed in the lap of the first girl, who later uses it as proof to have the cannibals drawn and quartered.
Or in Faithful John, where the servant of a prince whose father had just died and was now the new king finds out that a curse has been placed on his master, and he who saves him in each of the three stages would turn fully to stone. So Faithful John (the servant) loyally saves his master three times and is turned into a statue, who one day years later speaks to the king and tells him that if he slaughtered his two children and smeared him with their blood he would come back to life, and he does so.
Or in........
Well, I suppose that's enough, but I could go on for a long time! XD
