Ponies of Equestria (POEQ) [Written Set, 20/?] [Yes, this again]

[Ethaniel]

Well, it's been six years since the initial release of The Ponies of Equestria, my first-ever fan set (I think? TFOH might have been earlier, but let's roll with it). Much has changed since then: Pendulums, Xyz, Links, the new Master Rule. I figured that now that my health is a lot better, I'd come back and rework the set! Because of certain mechanics present in the cards (namely the whole "Monsters in the Field Zone thing), I figure Experimental is the place for them, but I'm sure the Mods will move it if I'm wrong (EDIT: since it seems to have been auto-moved to Casual Multiples, I guess it belongs there?). Without further ado, let's get started.

That's it so far! Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated as always! Especially let me know if I should be making changes to the PSCT/Official Card Grammar, as I'm still a bit rusty on both. I will compile a list of addressed questions below.

 

Q: Why those Attributes?

 

A: With the exception of Pinkie(s), Nightmare Moon, and Pinkamina (currently unreleased), Attribute = Race.


Earth Pony = EARTH
Unicorn = LIGHT
Pegasus = WIND
Alicorn = DIVINE

 

Q: Why Pony-type instead of Beast-type?

 

A: Way back in the day when I was first making this set, it was at the behest of some friends. I was requested to make them Pony-type instead of Beast-type, because they were intended to be stand-alone cards that existed outside of the game, and thus weren't intended to mesh with existing support. I decide to keep that for the remake, in the spirit of the original set.

 

Q: Doesn't the whole Token recursion effect make these extremely OP with Link-based decks?

 

A: Yes, yes it does. But when the set was originally designed, Links didn't exist. I decided to keep the effect in, so I can explore more with Links in the future.
