Description
Ponies: The Galloping is a special crossover set for Magic: The Gathering that merges the iconic fantasy card game with the whimsical world of My Little Pony. Released as part of a promotional effort, the set includes three unique cards featuring beloved characters from the My Little Pony universe: Rarity, a double-faced card showcasing Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight Sparkle.
While these cards feature stunning artwork and clever design elements that reflect the personalities of the ponies, they are not tournament-legal due to their highly unconventional mechanics. The cards are intended as novelty items rather than functional additions to gameplay, though they could potentially be used in casual, creative formats with friends. Among them, the Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna card is arguably the most practical for casual play, as its mechanics are somewhat more aligned with traditional Magic: The Gathering gameplay. The other cards, however, lean heavily into humor and thematic gimmicks. One card references imaginary cards that don’t exist in the game, creating an impossible-to-resolve scenario. Another requires players to incorporate a physical My Little Pony toy into their gameplay.
Overall, Ponies: The Galloping is more of a collector’s item and a fun nod to the crossover potential between two beloved franchises. It celebrates the playful spirit of both My Little Pony and Magic: The Gathering, offering fans of both worlds a unique and memorable piece of crossover history.
Ponies: The Galloping was sold exclusively on HasbroPulse.com for the USA and Canada and was available from October 22, 2019 – November 5, 2019, in time to celebrate the series finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Every card set sold donated $30.00 to Extra Life to benefit the Seattle Children’s Hospital.
