If friendship is magic, then would a group of friends getting together be Magic: The Gathering? Wi🃏zards🃏 of the Coast sure seems to think so, as they have , a limited edition set of My Little Pony-themed cards for the Magic: The Gathering card game.
The three cards will feature fashionista unicorn Rarity, the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle, and both princesses Nightmare Moon and Princess Luna on a ꦗdouble-sided card.
The cardsꦍ, which will be sold on HasbroPulse.com, cost $50 per set. For each set sold, Wizards of the Coast will donate $30 to " a gamer-centric charity that benefits the Children's Miracle Network hospitals.
Magic: The Gathering players worried about how these cards will affect the meta needn't fret, since these are silver-bordered cards, which means they're not a💖llowed in tournament play. Of course, anyone who reads the ponies' abilities would immediately realize they're not meant to be played -- they describe using non-MTG cards as part of play, gaining resistances based on the colors of a my little pony toy you own, and a condition that you can meet to allow everyone꧅ to win the game!
As far as products go that you actually can use in a game, Wizards of the Coast will also be selling Ponies: The Galloping playmat sets -- a three-pack of playmats that feature the same artwork as the limited-edition cards. The playmat set costs $100 dollars, and Wizards of the Coast will donate $ꦫ80 to Children's Miracle Network for every set sold.
Both the playmats and the cards will only be on sale from Oct🔥ober 22 until November 5.
For those who 𝓡want to take part in helping Wizards of the Coast raise money for Extra Life, but for some reas﷽on , there's still a few options available. WotC will be on October 23 and November 2, and they will be hosting two in-house streams on on October 28 and November 2.
