Friendship is Card Games: Made in Manehattan · 11:17am Sep 27th, 2015

Well, since my local Battle for Zendikar prerelease was pushed to today, I had a chance to look at this episode yesterday. Huzzah!

Who remembers the Fblthp Saga?

No, I didn't just punch my keyboard. That was a thing that happened about two years ago.

Friendship is Card Games: One Bad Apple · 12:22pm Aug 30th, 2015

If you were expecting “The Crystal Empire,” you’ll find it here. If you were expecting “Too Many Pinkie Pies,” you can find that here. No, this week we’re going straight to Babs Seed’s introduction.

Chromatic Arpeggios · 1:36pm Dec 7th, 2019

I recently moved all my EqG tracks to my commuting music flash drive. (It’s my driving drive! :pinkiehappy:) And while actually listening to lyrics without visuals to distract me, I realized that certain songs perfectly demonstrate the five color philosophies of Magic: the Gathering.

Look, I have a theme, I’m sticking with it, and this is a great way to explain a complex idea in a form that everyone here can understand.

Cards of the Herd · 10:15pm Jun 19th, 2018

Core Set 2019* previews are in full swing, and today we got a cycle of cards relevant to my interests in several respects. So relevant that I started coming up with little story moments for each of them, hence the Story Shuffle tag. It sort of counts. :derpytongue2:

*Magic core sets, like car models, use the next year so they sound relevant for longer.

Friendship is Card Games: Draytona 500 · 11:57am Apr 12th, 2020

Well, this is a bit awkward. This week, we cover every issue of the main MLP comic line I haven’t reviewed yet. All two of them. Don’t worry, I have a plan after this, especially given the existence of the MLP manga. (Yes, that’s a thing.)

For now, time for Achilles to catch up to one of the tortoises. Which is awfully suitable given the subject matter. Let's roll away.

Friendship is Card Games: Homecoming, Part 1 · 12:27pm Oct 4th, 2020

Okay, now we return to the comics. Specifically for the first two issues of what they’re optimistically calling Season 10. Which are actually the first half of a four-part storyline. Still, this promises to have a lot to work with. Time for Zecora backstory.

A bit late given EFNW, but I can now cover the latest check-in with the Equestrian chapter of the Legion of Doom.

Equestria Girls: Friendship (is Card) Games · 12:42am Sep 28th, 2015

Well, this has been an eventful day. I was able to slip in between Hasbro purges and catch the movie, so let's get this out while it's still technically Sunday.

Friendship is Card Games: Adventures in Puppysitting & Fallout Post · 12:23pm Sep 11th, 2022

Sunnytember continues as we take a look at what the comics have been up to. When last we left that instance of Maretime Bay, Discord had emerged from the depths of antiquity and the ruins of Canterlot, seeking to save ponies from themselves by eliminating magic. We will, of course, immediately follow up on such a major plot development.

… Won’t we?

Friendship is Card Games: The Basaltic Breakdown · 1:02pm Mar 5th, 2023

It may seem like nothing's happening with G5 content given the glacial pace at which it’s coming out, but it is accruing, slowly but surely. As proof of that, we begin a two-week block of the Starscout Era.

Friendship is Card Games: Wacky Wingday, Part 3 · 1:13pm January 21st

We conclude the comic catchup with the main line and the last two issues of the Milkyway Incident. When last we left the royal sisters, they’d dragged both Pipp’s reputation and the palace through mud. (Well, the mud went through the palace.) Let’s see how this gets cleaned up.

Friendship is Card Games: Sleepless in Ponyville · 1:36pm Sep 6th, 2015

If you were expecting “Magic Duel,” you can find it here. This week, we’re looking at the first part of the Crusaders’ dream trilogy… which, due to how I ended up doing this blog, will be the last one I look at. And largely isn’t in Ponyville. Go figure.

Sorry for the slight delay; I blame Daylight Savings Time. In any case, this week we have a tribute to 1890s mystery stories and 1990s teen sitcoms.

I assure you, I will explain.

Equestria Girls: the Gathering · 12:11am Feb 27th, 2020

I have been playing a few games with the Equestria Girls-themed Magic: the Gathering set I'm developing, and it's glorious fun.

Some games are quite one-sided. That's Magic. But plenty of games have had an impressive amount of back-and-forth.

Friendship is Card Games: Homecoming, Part 2 · 12:55pm Jan 3rd, 2021

When last we left the comics, Twilight had sent Zecora and a brute squad to Farasi, a land Zecora had abandoned long ago on a quest for magical power… leaving behind her friends as well.

Any resemblance to Sunset Shimmer is probably coincidental. Besides, as far as I know, Sunset’s never had to deal with a grootslang. Time for adventurous diplomacy!

That’s right, I tried playing online Magic: the Gathering.

The interseason hiatus may have begun, but we have quite the animation backlog to get through before returning to the comics. And before we can even touch the EqG shorts, there’s a three-episode-long special to examine. Let’s get this show on the road.
