Ponies: The Galloping is a three-card silver-bordered charity card set for Magic: The Gathering that is a crossover with Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. The card set was sold for $50.00, starting October 22, 2019.[3][4] The cards were designed by Chris Mooney.[5][6]
The set was a precursor to the Secret Lair and Universes Beyond product ranges.
Description
This was the second crossover set for Magic: the Gathering, with the first being the 2017 HASCON promos. The cards included in this set are Rarity, the double-faced Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight Sparkle. The three unique cards aren't tournament legal, and wouldn't function very well even in casual play (with the possible exception of Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna, who can allow you to play cards that depict a moon in the artwork, such as Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon, Tamiyo the Moon Sage, and Imprisoned in the Moon among other cards from outside of the game). For instance, one card references other cards that didn't actually exist in the game at the time of the product's release, one requires the player to use a My Little Pony toy, and another has an ability that makes other players "become your friend."
The set introduces the silver-bordered Alicorn creature type, Princess Twilight Sparkle is a lord for alicorns, unicorns, horses, pegasuses and (obsoleted/acorned) ponies.
