I like this card a lot. I really want to include it, as it'd seem very strange to not include the villain of the first Equestria Girls movie. That puts some requirements on the set to include legendary equipment, but pleasingly the candidates for the set include 7 legendary equipment representing the girls' magical Amulets, which I'm planning to split across rarities: ­Amulet of Kindness, ­Amulet of Generosity, ­Amulet of Laughter, ­Amulet of Loyalty, ­Amulet of Honesty at uncommon, and ­Amulet of Magic and ­Amulet of Empathy at rare. That lot basically come as a group of 7. (Obviously the actual Tiara of Magic that Sunset stole isn't in this set as it belongs to Equestria, not Equestria Girls.) There is another triplet of legendary equipment I could use, from FOME's Movie Magic post:

Staff of Altoriosa 2
Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Artifacts you control named Arrow of Altoriosa, Staff of Altoriosa, and Sword of Altoriosa have hexproof.
Equipped creature has hexproof.
Alone, the Altoriosa relics are potent. Together, they are unstoppable.
Equip 1

Arrow of Altoriosa 3
Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Whenever equipped creature attacks, Arrow of Altoriosa deals 1 damage to each creature defending player controls.
If you control artifacts named Staff of Altoriosa and Sword of Altoriosa, Arrow of Altoriosa has deathtouch.
Equip 2

Sword of Altoriosa 4
Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature gets +3/+0 for each artifact you control named Arrow of Altoriosa, Staff of Altoriosa, or Sword of Altoriosa.
Whenever equipped creature attacks or blocks, if it has power 6 or greater, it gains first strike until end of turn.
Equip 3

I'm inclined towards the Amulets as they're a lot more plot-relevant than the Altoriosatron. They do need a bit more space in the set, mainly at uncommon which is certainly tight. But I wouldn't really be happy putting this Sunset Shimmer in a set with a total of 3 legendary Equipment in it.
