Ponies: The Galloping
This article documents an upcoming release. |
Ponies: The Galloping is a three-card charity promotional card set for Magic: The Gathering that is a crossover Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. These silver-bordered cards will be sold for $50.00 starting October 22, 2019, as well as four digital card sleeves available in Magic: The Gathering Arena.[1] The set will be sold exclusively on HasbroPulse.com, with deliveries being limited to the USA and Canada. Ponies: The Galloping is available from October 22, 2019 – November 5, 2019, celebrating the series finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. A donation of $30.00 per card set will be made to Extra Life to benefit the Seattle Children’s Hospital.[2]
There's also a set of Ultra PRO playmats that'll cost a cool $100 USD, with $80 (of that total 100) donated to Seattle Children's Hospital. The Ponies: The Galloping Playmats by Ultra PRO bundle will include 3 playmats (2 single-sided playmats and 1 double-sided playmat). These will also be available from Hasbro Pulse - and nowhere else - for that limited period of time.
There'll be four digital Ponies: The Galloping sleeves available in the Magic: The Gathering Arena game from October 22 to November 2 for around $4 USD.
This is the second crossover set for Magic: the Gathering, with the first being the 2017 HASCON promos. The cards included in this set are Rarity, 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. For instance, one card references other cards that don't actually exist in the game, one requires the player to use a My Little Pony toy, and another has ability that makes other players "become your best friend."
