Stupid title aside, haven't you always wondered what a story about ponies, Magic the Gathering, and a horribly cheesy Yu-gi-oh!-esque plot would be like? No? Well shut up, I made it anyway! Watch as ponies play card games, albeit not on motorcycles, and have to defeat a dark and mysterious EVIL that also plays card games because... Um... Well, who doesn't like card games?
Inspired by that picture thing accompanying the story, this fic is a fun thing I've been wanting to do for a while. As a fan of Magic, I've been wanting to someone create a crossover like this for a while. It didn't happen. So what's a brony to do? Write it himself, of course. Not sure if I really succeeded, so any constructive criticism would be awesome.

If you don't actually know how to play Magic, you're going to have a tough time following what's going on (Game-wise, that is. You'll be fine with the plot.). Twilight explains quickly about some of the game's rules throughout the first chapter, so those of you who've never played before may kind of get what's going on.
And for those of you who couldn't give a crap about the story and just want to see what cards the characters are using, the recipes for the decks used in the chapter are at the bottom.

Chandra Nalaar may have seen some strange things in the Multiverse, but nothing could prepare her when she accidentally winds up on the plane of Equestria shaped like a pony! Not only does she have to find a way to change herself back, but someone else is interested in this peaceful plane - and Chandra may be the only one who can stop them.

Everypony-or at least those who are interested in Equestrian History-knows Ponyville was founded by a small group of earth ponies few hundreds of years ago. Twilight knows it well.

Actually, it is not, as Twilight finds out.

Trixie steps in some poison joke, to slightly humorous effect.

The speaking of rhymes. Zecora has never spoken without rhyme, but... what happens when she can't rhyme?

There are many questions in the world, there are many answers. Even something as integral as who you are is a question, with more possible answers than there are stars in the sky. Sometimes you just have to take a moment and think on it.

When Rarity has Twilight over for tea, she learns her friend has a big confession to make. But what is really going on here?

Silver Spoon questions why she participates in the psychological destruction of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

It's been a few weeks since Luna's returned from the moon, and all is not well. She's become more introverted than ever, rarely leaving her room and obsessing over work. Celestia hopes that studying Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Reports will at least help her get out of her shell, though an unusually talkative servant may just help in that regard...and is anypony else getting strange feelings from that statue out in the gardens?

Seriously, a lot.
