This deck was commissioned by someone who wanted to annihilate opponents with pegasi, unicorns, and faeries. It's likely the goofiest deck I've ever designed and should appeal to Vorthos fans of faerie tales, especially those familiar with the comic book, FABLES, on which it is based. Although there are a few combos in the deck, this build is largely suited for "battlecruiser" EDH games, thanks to its preponderance of huge spells. Like my recent Final Fantasy III theme deck, From Fabletown with Love also has several paths to victory: damage, decking, and poison. (Who said fables were harmless?)
For folks interested in making the deck their own, I've included a short list of other possible flavorful inclusions that didn't remain in the deck, as I did with my DUNE deck(s) featured at SCG. (Visit TappedOut.net for this deck's sample hand generator.)
Really cool deck once again. I've only read first volume (fables #1-#10) so far, so I'm not familiar with every reference :3 Guess I better continue reading!
I think this will be my summer deck this year. I want to look at cards to match the colors of the season! It'll be nice having something less serious than Alesha, Tasigur, and Batman. I get sick of looking at dark and brutish cards all the time. Need more faeries and pegasi in my life!
Also, I'm realizing for the first time how difficult it can be for a newly released Bant card to measure up to what's already been printed. I can't think of anything from the last twelve months that I'd want to include here.

Flavorful Strategy
Fill your head--and your hand--with faerie tales (Collective Unconscious)! From Snow White and the Huntsman (Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Garruk, Primal Hunter) to Beauty and the Beast (Imperious Perfect, Craterhoof Behemoth), play with your most loved characters. Choose your own adventure and act out your favorite story arc from the multiple Eisner award-winning comic book, FABLES: March of the Wooden Soldiers (Storm Herd, Triumph of the Hordes), From Fabletown with Love (Aura Thief, Enchanted Evening), The Great Fables Crossover (Fiend Hunter, Deadeye Navigator), and many, many more!
