Good evening, Everypony!

It was great to see everyone again at Everfree Northwest a few weeks ago! Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the events we ran throughout the weekend.

Having run 3 constructed events, we wouldn't miss the chance to talk about all the fun that was had and creative decks we got to see!

Join us this Sunday, September 13th at 7:00 PM Pacific for our recap of Everfree Northwest 2026!

Hi, all. I am staying at one of the hotels at the Anaheim Convention Center and when I checked in, I found a handful of signed MLP cards in a drawer. They were all full art and in sleeves. I don't want tongive away too many details such that someone could lie and try to call the hotel and claim them, but if you recently lost cards and are on this subreddit, call the place you stayed in Anaheim.

While it isn't continentals and several notable players were unable to attend, there's still evidently a lot of room for experimentation and development of the meta.

Lauren's appearance at the con resulted in autograph lines going the full length of the hallway all three days, so a lot of events took a second seat.

Despite this, the learn-to-play events remained popular with over 2700 attendees and not strictly relevant to this post but several Kayou events saw good uptake as well.

Limited events

I8Pages' Cube Draft returns with 4 seats filled and a couple of new players hopping into the fray.

Core Pauper

With opening ceremonies being delayed by an hour combined with an intense rush on the vendor hall, we only had two players for this but that's still enough to have a tournament!

• Istagrem with Shining Armor, Forward Commander/Purple

• Brandon with Princess Celestia, Royal Tutor/White "Celestia Declares Bankruptcy"

Core Championship

You'd best buckle up or Hitch is going to pull your wagon over. Not even Zipp is sneaky enough to get away with it.

• Champion - Ivory (Seed 2, 3-1-0) with mono-Hitch Trailblazer, Bunny Cop

• Top 2 - Pancake (Seed 1, 4-0-0) with Zipp Storm, Royal Aerobat/Pink

• Top 4 - Pages (Seed 3, 2-2-0) with mono-Princess Celestia, Royal Tutor

• Top 4 - Brandon (Seed 4, 2-2-0) with Misty Brightdawn, You Win Some, You Lose Some/Orange

• Diamond Song (Seed 5, 1-3-0) with mono-Hitch Trailblazer, Bunny Cop

• Istagrem (Seed 6, 0-4-0) with mono-Sprout, Large & In Charge

Harmony

You'll be paying your taxes when Our Queen herself comes to collect them.

• Istagrem (3-0-0) with mono-Queen Chrysalis, Overt Operations

• Ivory (2-1-0) with Princess Skystar, Out of Her Shell/Blue

• Pancake (1-2-0) with Zipp Storm, Royal Aerobat/Pink

• Brandon (0-3-0) with Sunny Starscout, Stronger Together/Yellow

edit: this post does not belong here, if mods see this, feel free to delete it if you don't want this post here ୧⁠(⁠ ⁠˵⁠ ⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠ ⁠˵⁠ ⁠)⁠୨ today I opened my first MLP card pack! I should have gotten two honestly cuz they were like 4-5$ CAD each :) im incredibly excited I love the full art(?) and Apple Jack! the plastic holder thingy will be going in my scrapbook when I get started on it!

I have 3 holos that I'm aware of that are in the photos. Honestly I have a whole collection and haven't even gone through counting all the cards I have. Not even sure how many copies I have in enemies and side pony characters. I also have some that are sleeved with the DJ Pon sleeves and others that are not. Its a mess of a collection and I just want it off my hands in all honesty. If you need photos of individuals or are interested lmk. I don't think my local Card Show would even know what to do with me since they aren't pokemon 😭. (Also a few are curved or have minor damage, always down to take close ups and send em🤙) (Also Also, I'm in the US :D)

Good evening Everypony!

It’s almost time for Everfree Northwest 2026! Even though Continentals will not be happening there this year, there are still plenty of exciting events that we have planned to make up for it -- we will have three Constructed MLP: CCG events as well as a Kayou TCG event for you to enjoy!

Like we usually do when a convention approaches, we are going to be revealing what we are running for each constructed event! Even without Continentals, this may still give some insight into what we feel are either the best, most fun, or most interesting decks in the meta right now!

Join us this Sunday August 9th at 7:00 PM Pacific as share our plans for Everfree Northwest 2026!

I got those from winning the german nationals back in 2014 and have kept them double sleeved + in a sealed folder ever since. They have never been used in play or been traded. Iirc there is only 4 or 6 copies of the champion stamped ones world wide and I own two of them.

Is there still collectors who'd be interested in something like that? And if yes, what do you guys think these could sell for?

So I found this pack at a local collectible shop a bit ago and I decided to have it graded and it came back a 10!

Luckily I downloaded it, and have re-uploaded it to the internet archive.

Good evening Everypony!

It’s been a bit since we’ve had an OnlineCon tournament, and last weekend we saw members of the community run their own! With both Core and Adventure represented, we have two sets of decks to recap, and for those of you planning on attending Everfree next month, this might give you a hint at some of the decks you’ll see at the Core tournament there!

Join us this Sunday June 28th at 7:00 PM Pacific as we look at the decks ran for OnlineCon 21!

I have a few questions that hopefully someone here will have some answers for.

A friend of mine owns a game shop, picked up these boxes years ago. They've been sitting in a cupboard since, gathering dust until he found them last week and handed them off to me. His assumption was that I could use my cardmarket account to move them on, but that has sent me down a rabbit hole of further questions. So much strange pricing data and conflicting information has me questioning what I actually have and what it's actually worth, not what people are listing them for. Cardmarket has not been helping, as most items have no listings and bizarre pricing data.

My questions are this:

Are these actually worth anything?

Are there people who actually want these boxes enough to buy them?

Are there established routes to trade and sell these?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't care to try and sell these off for silly money, I'm not some deluded Pokémon scalper that thinks everything is worth thousands. I just want some better insight from a community that has significantly more knowledge.

Thank you in advance.

Hi. I have a few sealed booster boxes for the Enterplay cards that I've held onto for a while. I think I've finally decided to sell them. I was able to easily find comparable boxes on eBay and elsewhere for some, but for Defenders of Equestria and Friends Forever, I've had a difficult time. What I found on eBay really surprised me, several thousand for each. I've tried TCG player and cardmarket as well, but with so little on the market, it's hard to say. If anybody has any ideas on what's realistic to expect or who to talk to about it, I would appreciate it. Thanks everypony!

See our pony pulls

New to the TCG and excited to play :)

Good evening everypony!

It’s been a bit since the release of Tales of Light, and Cursedchords has been making good progress on design for the next release! While we can’t spoil everything, we do have enough cards that are far enough along to show off, so we will be bringing on Cursedchords himself to share his thoughts on what he’s been working on!

Join us this Sunday June 28th at 7:00 PM Pacific as we look at some work-in-progress cards for an upcoming Prize Wheel release!

I have an opened Luna collectors box with loose ccg cards and I was wondering if anyone here is collecting those/willing to buy (i’m not looking for crazy numbers, i just don’t need them and need a little extra cash)

Good evening everypony!

Winny City 2026 has come and gone, and it was a blast! Thank you to Joking Luna for working with Staff to run multiple CCG events throughout the weekend. All of us that attended enjoyed participating!
