You Can Now Buy 'Magic: The Gathering' 'My Little Pony' Cards
You can now acquire 'My Little Pony' 'Magic: The Gathering' cards. It's a new collection from Hasbro Pulse. Get all the main points right here.
Bronies and Magic: The Gathering fans, unite! For the first, and probably only time ever, you can now acquire a set of My Little Pony Magic: The Gathering cards from Hasbro Pulse. The set is named Ponies: The Galloping, and I'm not going to lie, it's pretty awesome.
Why did Hasbro make a My Little Pony Magic: The Gathering set?
It is a "special charity crossover set," in step with Comicbook.com, and it's to be had to reserve now at Hasbro Pulse. While the set is not solely "tournament legal," the cards are tremendous cool and a significant portion of each and every purchase gets donated to charity, so it is for a excellent purpose.
How a lot do the My Little Pony MTG cards price?
Each set is $50, but it is a partnership with Extra Life, so $30 of that is going to a charity benefiting Seattle Children's Hospital. Nothing unsuitable with that.
There are three silver-bordered cards in the set: Rarity, Nightmare Moon (with Princess Luna on the other facet and Princess Twilight Sparkle). In addition to the cards, you can acquire a collection of Ponies: The Galloping playmats for $100, $80 of which fits to charity. And sure, the Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon playmat is double-sided!
The whole factor is red and purple and sparkly and magical, and I just adore it. Hasbro interviewed Dawn, the Senior Art Director for the Ponies: The Galloping project, to talk about all the implausible artwork and effort in the back of this amazing mashup.
"Magic's game mechanic, by nature, is aggressive," she said. "Opponents play cards on the 'battlefield,' to deal damage, and tick your opponent's life counter down to zero to win the game. By contrast, My Little Pony is built around themes like friendship and cooperation... It was challenging to strike the right balance between the two brands and find that sweet spot on the Venn Diagram that satisfies both."
I, for one, suppose they did an important job. Never have I observed the ones little ponies look so in-charge and badass.
Dawn instructed Hasbro Pulse that she used to be part of a small crew of writers and artists and designers who have been brought in combination to create the Magic version of My Little Pony. None of them had ever worked on My Little Pony sooner than, so it was once a wholly new and interesting experience.
She has been in the industry for over 25 years and has labored on countless video games we all know and love, together with Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Dark Matter, and Hecatomb. She joined the Magic: The Gathering crew in 2013 and has been running on it ever since.
The My Little Pony version used to be a special project and optimistically we will see extra adore it quickly. In the period in-between, head to Hasbro Pulse to buy your own set of cards or playmats and grab the magic up while it lasts. The Ponies: The Galloping set will be on sale till Nov. Five or so long as supplies remaining.
