I really like those unashamedly feminine pastel colours and jewelled frames; I like everything that makes this game less of an adventure in fragile masculinity

I know nothing about My Little Pony except that there are/were a lot of creepy dudes who jerked off to them and more or less hijacked a series for little kids.

I don't hate the cards. Unironically don't dislike the purples and pinks and colors you don't usually see in card frames. The "anypony" bit kind of makes me twitch, that's kind of it.

Pretty much this yeah. The fact that it's making people angry is nothing but funny to me. Imagine your fun being ruined by cartoon ponies on your manly man magic cards.

Hell why not: make the next joke set a big Hasbro/WotC collaboration.

It's made for children but it's also a $50 special edition limited run product of 3 cards. At least the pokemon versions have a toy, a couple pins, and maybe a pokeball.

I will never see those cards in any Magic related context I would care about so print them in a standard set at common

Never mind this is dumb. Not because of the cards, but because it's just even more whalebait with the added cost of not even being playable cards. :v:

The only thing I hate about these is that my seven year old never got into My Little Pony, so she can't fully enjoy the cute card design enough for me to buy them for her and support a deserving charity.

I don't know anything about My Little Pony that doesn't come from Patton Oswalt's rant*, but it's cute that "Rarity" cares about card rarity and the Nightmare cares about the time of day.

Jfc of course it's $50. I knew it would be even before I looked at it. Why would the three card product for children not be. (The answer is it's not actually for children. I know.) But it would have been nice for it to be halfway reasonably costed. I'd have liked to get one for my daughter.

They should swap the prices so the arena sleeves are $50 and the cards are $4.

I'd totally get the Twilight Sparkle card and build an EDH deck, but that's because I'm a sucker for Tribal lords rather than any strong opinions about MLP.

i'm half convinced they were going to reprint field of ruin in the brawl decks, because it's exactly the sort of fair land destruction that is printable in every format, and just forgot. this would make the eldraine mono-lands less good though. there's still absolutely stone nothing in standard that beats field outside of the wildly narrow Bedazzle.

we got sorcerous spyglass back though :confuoot:

I know (through friends of friends) bronies who were deep enough into the series to be hired to work directly on the trading card game.

I've been over to their place due to said friends wanting to hang out with both circles.

I'VE SEEN SOME poo poo. :negative: :barf:

The cards are neat, though, if you're into that sort of thing. And it's for a good charity, no less. Only thing is, how are you gonna win with that ability, considering the other ponies don't exist as cards? ;)

I'm assuming that this is like a Floral Spuzzem thing where the pony cards win the game but the players don't.

Checked, Walmart close to my place doesn't seem to have them yet. The Target close to me has Eldraine products out, but no brawl decks. Will have to check later.

between assassin's trophy and casualties of war being viable land destruction and the general quality of both colors in eldraine i'm surprised there hasn't been a golgari ramp deck going around or something

I went back to walmart and bought a collector's booster out of curiosity and it was pretty good. Another foil Beast, extended art robber of the rich, and story book Rider and Stompy Giant and then a bunch of foils and other storybook cards. Felt pretty good about it.

So I bought two more, and folks, I'm really dumb. If you like whiffing on boosters, imagine how good whiffing on $23 boosters feels.

Trophy doesn't really solve the problem, there's 3 more copies of field and 4 copies of golos to help find them, so they're still present a late game that you can't possibly compete with.
