Welcome to Friendship Is Card Games!

FanOfMostEverything is a prolific custom card designer. Every movie, episode, or comic he sees, he creates a whole bunch of custom card designs for. But... he's never put them into a set.

AlexTFish has decided to start creating cardsets of the cards designed by FanOfMostEverything: not designing any new cards but taking selections from Fan's cards balanced for limited and constructed play. We're starting with... Equestria Girls!

Equestria Girls logo

These cards are collected from FanOfMostEverything's Equestria Girls card blogs. So, if you play with this set, what will you experience?

Songs and Bands

Equestria Girls is a world driven by musical numbers just as much as Equestria is. But Equestria Girls has a bit more focus on the characters who make the music. So as well as a bevy of Song enchantments which accumulate verse counters over time, Equestria Girls has a lot of Band creatures that give you bonus effects when you sacrifice a Song.

­“Life is a Runway” or the Professional Welder will help you activate them - though you might want to keep them around to power up your Nerd Chic or help you Throw the Horns. If you're making some of these tokens that are prime for sacrificing, you'll definitely want to pick up a Piecake Eating or two.

And note that although Overwhelmed Petsitter's populate ability can only make copies of a creature token, she will trigger any time you create any token. Get investigating and swell your horde of cute pets! Maybe you'd like to start with the Fecund Patriarch's offspring? Or use Celestia’s Greenhouse or Nest Crown to get your initial creature token and the populate ability both at once.

And much more!

This is unashamedly a Modern Masters-style anthology product for experienced players. And FanOfMostEverything does love to make use of existing mechanics in his cards! So in this set you'll find occasional guest appearances by partner, support, bolster, protection, extort, convoke, affinity, landfall, kicker, buyback, detain, skulk, fateseal, raid, prowl, delve, outlast, retrace, exert, flanking, dethrone, champion, flashback, battalion, kinship, soulbond, wither, a Saga, and the monarch mechanic, amongst others. Don't worry, if you don't instantly remember every mechanic in that list, they all have reminder text. Well, usually.
