My Little Pony is a beloved franchise that embodies friendship, cooperation, compromise, and following your dreams. Filled with colorful ponies like Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle, the show takes viewers on exciting adventures while exploring the challenges of growing up. Surprisingly, these magical ponies have made their way into the world of Magic: The Gathering, alongside dark and fearsome creatures like Massacre Wurm and Mandible Justiciar.
The first set, Ponies: The Galloping, was released in 2019 and featured characters like Rarity, Nightmare Moon, and Princess Twilight Sparkle. The artwork for these cards is more subtle and less vibrant compared to the second set, Ponies: The Galloping 2. The adorable and friendly nature of these pony cards is hard to resist, bringing a smile to any player’s face. In fact, if a player manages to control all the pony friends in the game, a special end game condition is triggered where everyone wins. What a heartwarming tribute to this cherished children’s show!
Combining the pony cards with other creatures from the Magic universe creates some unexpected interactions. For instance, it’s hard to imagine Pinkie Pie getting along with the menacing Massacre Wurm. But who knows, maybe the Wurm secretly enjoys parties too! Pinkie Pie synergizes with cards that have a smiling theme, and the Wurm fits the bill. Other terrifying cards, such as the Abomination, also join forces with the ponies in a peculiar yet fascinating way.
In Ponies: The Galloping 2, another set released as part of the Secret Lair drop for Magic: The Gathering, players can’t use these cards in official tournaments. However, 50% of every purchase will be donated to the Seattle Children’s Autism Center, making it a worthwhile investment beyond the gaming experience. Fans can get their hands on this set starting from September 18th, 9 a.m. PDT.
