Introvert and avid Magic: the Gathering player, Anon never really saw the point of friendship. Sure, he had people that he interacted with at work or at tournaments, but that was about as far as he was willing to go. When he finds himself in another world, will he be able to keep that mindset or will his favorite hobby help six mares bring him out of his shell?

Here I was hoping a character who came from the many worlds of Magic the Gathering (like the city of Ravnica).

That is an idea that I have been mulling around for a while, but the concept I have in mind for that one is a bit more serious in tone. I wanted to take a break from that for a bit between projects. As such, this story is going to be a little more laid back compared to my other works.

Fair enough. Still, this'll be a decent read. This site needs more Magic the Gathering.

I'm more of a White/Green player to be honest. Black's Philosophy of the ends justify the means (unless I'm misinterpreting it) always gets my goat.

Especially if they cast a thousand destroy creature spells.

Edit: Seriously. Can they spend one turn without killing any of my creatures with spells?

So how is next to visit anon

3 damage in your face.
Ah yes, the Burn.
But i saw a faster deck, monogreen infect, not that im a good player, just have a friend who force me to play.

I always pair my red deck with green to supplement what was lacking.

Ah yes, White.
Its when you playing with ur houmies and forget about monowhite for a while. Then suddenly there 40 tokens 4/4, and you see how they go to pee on your face.

"Danitha Capshen, Paragon?" she quietly read, the card's name feeling just as odd on her tongue as it sounded with her accent.

Lol. I just played Guilds of Ravnica for DnD, and in our campaign I killed Danitha because she was an obstruction to our mission.

After about three minutes of waiting, the mare's ears folded pack and an irate growl fell past her muzzle as she slammed a closed fist against the door. Anon jumped from the sudden noise, but was otherwise unaffected by the aggressive display. Given what he had heard her muttering before, it was safe to assume that this mare was a completely different beast compared to Pinkie. A beast that he was not willing to put up with if he could avoid it. Deciding that he had seen enough he cleared his throat loud enough to get the mare's attention.

Yeah, that nag ain't fun to deal with. For someone like Anon she might be worse than Pinkie. At least Pinkie's actions are intended to bring joy to others. Rarity just wants to further herself. How she got the Element of Generosity will remain a mystery.

Assuming this is an AU in which Rarity actually has a moral compass (the black deck seems to really match her canon personality), as a pony that makes all of her merchandise personally, that must have hit hard. I was gonna say by hand but she mostly uses her magic.

Ah, the Blue Deck. This is by far the hardest deck for me to play, no matter how I try to figure it out.

Red/Blue Mad Scientist and Mad Artist style decks are always fun imo.

I tried that combo actually. Still don't know how to manage it.

To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Why doesn't the Black part of the Wheel say anything about the good qualities of Black? Not to mention, the bad qualities of White?

That, and he was really not in the mood to hide a body today

This implies that he has been in a mood to hide a body...
...
...
Tragic villain backstory perhaps?

our guy is a green fan, I think that white works better with green than black. Black is anything at any time while white is order. Sure, both have some things that go against green but white is generally more stable and protective in nature while Black will openly oppose nature as often as it sees fit. That and omnipotence is not a bad thing, it sounds pretty good actually, if not morally so.

Hmmm……. I ship it

I LOVE this story. Cant wait to see where it goes.

So, when's the next chapter?

11261795
Not for a while. I've got a lot of bigger projects right now

I'd swap AJ and flutters colorwise, but decent setup.

11306148
That was the tricky part for me. The deciding factor was how the two of them work with nature. AJ is less willing to allow nature to do its own thing then Flutters. While Fluttershy does coddle animals, she does acknowledge that nature should be allowed to do its own thing or gently aimed in a way that doesn't mess with it too much.

Well... I guess the next ones are probably about dual colors deck.. and what is the best way to do that than using the guilds of ravnica?

just got reminded of this fic, I hope the author comes back to it soon, I know he said he'll get to it when he gets to it, but I can still hope

Aww, I thought we were getting into archetype philosophies. Still, nice to see this update.

Thankfully didn't start with aggro, I guess.

So glad to see this back.

Baby steps I suppose.

little bit of code jumble here caused a good chunk of the chapter to become italicized.

Overall, the chapter was ok. Not too much a fan of MTG myself, came here because the philosophy stuff was interesting and I was curious as to how it would develop. I kinda thought the cards would become a conduit for the MC's form of magic if they ended up doing anything at all, but I guess this works to.

Hope to see more soon.

... I have no idea what just happened with the knife, how it produced those cards or why it gave each of them their respective colour, but :yay:, more Magic the Gathering!!

Oh hell yeah. Kinda wish we weren't given a synopsis of the game by that was still awsome. And it's cool to finally see the knifes magic. Kinda reminded me of xiaolin showdown tbh. That would actually make a good name for it actually either show down or game master. Can't wait to see more.

I like how you added in MTG Arena type stuff to the chapter. Very clever. Can't wait for the next chapter! Also you should have Anon explain the game to Celestia and have her come up with a way for it to be mass produced 🤣🤣

Idk if you’re ever coming back to this, but it was a fun read while it lasted.

I do intend to keep this going. I'm just giving some attention to another story and dealing with some irl stuff at the moment.

Take the time you need! Good luck with whatever you’re up to.
