Trixie'd play a Blue shutdown deck, with many varied counterspells, but very little in the way of high-power creatures. Not sure what her win strategy would be. Perhaps flashy burn or deck-destruction.

I do like some flashy burn sometimes. Banefire is such a cool card.

You know, Magic would make a pretty good show itself. But not in the Yugioh-style "show about people playing the game" kind of way. More a show focusing on Planeswalkers and their universe-shaking wizard duels. Don't focus on cards. In fact, there's no real need to have card representations of anything. Instead, have them literally drawing energy from countless forests and mountains, while they sit in an endless library, pulling knowledge from tome after tome to throw ever-greater spells at their foe. I think it could be very cool.

I whant to see bigger Celestia in show.

A Magic: The Gathering show that focused on the flavor rather than the cardgames would be sweet.

Trixe would run a Red-Blue deck with heavy permission, Misdirection effects, and use flashy "fireworks" burn as her win mechanism. Also she taunts and mindgames her opponents with her ego so they get angry and make mistakes.

Sounds about right for her, but I wasn't sure if "red/Blue" was even a viable combo, so I didn't suggest it at first. Seems interesting, though.

And she would, of course, try to finish things with extremely pricey finishing moves like Banefire.

(I like to imagine that, in a hypothetical MTG show, there would be a fight between a Blue Planeswalker, and a Red one, with the Blue one being arrogant and countering or reducing the damage of everything the Red one tries, and burning his Library with his own spells. Then, when the Red 'walker pulls out his last trick, he draws the energy of literally every volcano he's raised since the duel began, and throws Banefire at the Blue Planeswalker, who desperately attempts to annul the spell or erect barriers, to no avail)

Imagine to my surprise this show has its own dethroning moment of suck page.

Well, we have it as a hatersink. Banish them all to the Darth Wiki! Forever!

@Enlong: "Enemy" colour pairs make for interestingly powerful deck themes, like Black and Green working in tandem.

Hm, I've been interested in getting into Magic: The Gathering for awhile now though unfortunately I have nobody to play with. Is there anyways to play online like how the Pokemon TCG now comes with codes so you can use your deck online.

There are several online Magic: The Gathering games, iirc.

Totally getting the new pony toys. I told ya'll we'd get Gen 4.1

Who said Earth Ponies can't fly?◊

@Chariot: Download Cockatrice, which allows you to build a deck and play it against others online. Then come on down to this thread to find people from the fora to play with. Or just to chatter about the game, if you like.

Oh my goodness... Cheerilee is Supermare?

Morning everyone.

JT glad your doing FS's reaction to Big Cheer...make it cute!

o hai Apple :D

I should really draw or write something.

Dear god, I dozed off hard and find you people talking about Magic. My inability to get hardcore about any geeky subject is why I'm always feeling left out, I like magic just find, have a few cards, but dear god the amount of studying and thought makes it seem like people's livelihoods.

So anyhow, winning the bet is good enough for me, I have nothing to ask of from the losers.

And I feel like drawing something from the latest episode when I'm less tired. Any suggestions?

Big Mac lugging the house, Hugh Jelly (with Sweetie being creeped out by him), or that creepy shot of Twilight looming over the CMC

Hi Ace, hi Mousa!

If your looking for drawing suggestions, might I recommend drawing Lovey! Mac pulling the two oxen and the anvil cart?

Hugh Jelly is too creepy for me to draw, I shudder every time I think about him.

Then like me or Apple suggested, one of the shots of Big Mac doing something ridiculously strong

Hey, ponies!

He's...odd.

So he's definitely Hugh Jelly?

I was hoping for Smuckers, but you can't win 'em all I guess.

I love how the song itself seems to outright say that Hugh is mentally disturbed

Hiya!

COSMOLOGY

Hey, Soulless!

Got my pencil and paper. Letting my muse meditate.

So many Caramels

Their expressions (Twi, I think you'd better take a seat over here )
