Into the Woods - Tales not explored
Good morning, good afternoon and good night.
Welcome to my fifth challenge.
In a mix and fairy tales that were presented in Throne of Eldraine, now it's your turn to make cards from unexplored tales or that you find another approach necessary. Who knows if we have new approaches? The Puss in Boots? Blue Beard? The Snow White? The Bremen Town Musicians?

Judging:
10,00 points each card: my opinion for judgment, quality, balancing, creativity, grammar
This time, the rank rank will not have published notes (sometimes it is not a better way to judge, or it may cause discouragement.). I will do a test as performed like the challenge by @ningyounk.
Bronze - Problems regarding the topic. Many grammatical and balanced errors. Card edition required.
Silver - Card with limited creativity, but still a good card. Few grammatical flaws and balance points. A simple card.
Gold - Card with a good idea, but with minor errors in execution. This is to be the standard rank of the cards. Few failures.
Platinum - Great card with good ideas. It is possible to ignore it small problems.
Diamond - Above average. Very good card. These will be the cards that competed in the top three.
Mythic - Top 3 and mention in the Hall of Fame
Good luck to everyone and be creative

If we're going Eldraine, I submit the 'Queen' of the Hags and WItches of the Wilds, Yamaga.
Initial design was based loosely on Baba Yaga, hence the name. A wizened old woman who can forsee the future, and tell you your fate, provided she gets her pound of flesh first.
Based on the common trope.
Based on Koschei the Deathless
Does this count as a tale?
Maybe. Maybe not.
(I'll give you a hint. It's a true story.)
No, no. It's just cooler for knowledge. I forgot. My fault.
Based on "Snow-White and Rose-Red" (and no, not that Snow White)
@LordTachanka123 what true story is Swallowed Alive based on?
It's only true if you believe it.
And I get what story yours is from. Isn't there a bear-prince?
Inspired by the story of the Elfin Knight, a story in which a knight offers a woman on the road a series of impossible challenges. I was playing around with the idea of fairies as weird, contrary and strange creatures that don't play by human rules. So the blackguard here messes around with your graveyard and your library in a big way.

Great cards.
As highlighted in many challenges and the various cardsmiths, the evaluation is subjective, but I tried to perform individually without comparatives. I hope you enjoyed participating. I tried to write one for each card. I'm not a good critic, but I hope you enjoyed the challenge.
@LordTachanka123 - Both golden rank
Swallowed Alive - Without many mysteries. Simple, honest and balanced card. Very nice work.
