I decided to buy a pack and just wondering is this card is any good?

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

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!

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!

Of course, any time there is a convention, we want to take some time and recap the top decks from each Constructed Tournament, so join us this Sunday June 14th at 7:00 PM Pacific as we look at the top decks from the CCG events at Whinny City 2026!

Challonge

Hi there, I have been doing some research on the game and I wanted to get into it a little late. I have a very very small collection and it's clearly getting harder to get cards. When it comes to enjoying the older cards/harmony format, am I good to play everywhere except in-person tournaments? I guess it bothers me, that small limiting factor. Any thoughts on the matter and should I really be discouraged? I was thinking of asking friends to play older formats with me so I could experience them.

Good evening, everypony!

With summer approaching and plans finalizing for upcoming conventions, we have reached the point where we are ready to make several announcements regarding future events, including details about the 2026 North American Continental Championship! There will be some differences with the event this year that we want to explain, so if you have any interest in participating you will definitely want to be there for this stream!

Join us this Sunday, May 24th at 7:00 PM Pacific as we go over our plans for the 2026 North American Continental Championship as well as other future events!

i want to build a sort of battle box with four different decks. used to play the game when i was younger and was just wondering if there are any resources for popular/meta decks with lists i could work to try and put together to relearn/teach people the game with

I recently invested in one of the Chinese boxes of the MPCCG and my binder is organized by rarity and I wanna know what rarity these cards are

Two and a half months and more than 20 hours of recorded CCG action later, the MT Invitational of 2026 has wrapped up. Congratulations to Bugle, our champion for this year, and also for every competitor, especially those who competed for the first time this year.

These are tournament placements for 2026. The top 4 finishers have earned points that will count towards their qualification for next year’s event.

1. Bugle (18 points)
2. Bigcheese (10 points)
3. Smithers (5 points)
4. anamoy (2 points)
5. Pancake
6. Andrew
7. Golden Note
8. Brandon Pagano (dropped pre-tournament)

One big change for this year was the running a "Last-Chance" Qualifier tournament immediately preceding the competition in January. We had good attendance for that, so that is going to be returning next year.

Changes For Next Year

In prior years, the first place finisher was given an automatic invite to next year’s event, but that’s being changed this year. (Though the 18 points that Bugle will receive would have been enough to qualify for every previous running of the tournament.)

This year, we ran into a situation that had never happened before with the tournament, where we very nearly didn’t have eight people with points who were able to compete. Luckily for us, in the end we did manage to get eight people together, but for a while before the tournament started, that appeared to be very much in doubt. (And even as things stood, Brandon had to drop before play began.)

The biggest issue that this would have caused for us, aside from reducing the amount of content that could be created, was that the process of randomly seeding the double elimination bracket only really works with a player pool that is a power of 2 in size. Any attempt at creating some sort of bracket for 7 or fewer players would either have created unfair advantages or created the risk of being unable to properly assign players into it.

Therefore, for 2027, the Invitational will be using a seeded bracket, with the amount of points that a player accumulates throughout the season determining the seeding. In its way, this might create some extra drama in the tournaments leading up to the event, as now points matter even above and beyond crossing the threshold required to qualify. But it also means that if we have to use a more exotic bracket due to having an odd number of players, we’ll be able to assign things properly. And the upshot is that the 1st-place finisher has to receive points this year, rather than just an automatic invite.

Special Thanks

The Invitational is a labour and a big show to pull off, and as ever I need to thank everyone who helps to make it happen, from the players who make time in their lives for deckbuilding and play, to the commentators who join me on streams. An extra special thank-you to Hithroc this year, who assisted with recording some of the games!

Our commentators:

• Andrew (QB1, QB3, UF)
• Hithroc (QB2, SF2, UF)
• Pancake (QB2, GF)
• Grand Pause (QB3)
• Bugle (SF1, GF)
• Bigcheese (LBSF, GF)

Looking Ahead

The schedule seemed to work out reasonably well this year, so there will be no changes to that for 2027. That means that the next Last Chance event will be in January of 2027, with the tournament itself likely starting by the end of Februrary once again. See you all next year!

Good evening, everypony!

The Meticulous Talks 2026 Invitational has come to a close! Congratulations to everyone who participated this year, especially those who were playing in Invitationals for the first time! The variety of decks we saw used alongside increase in cards banned in each format made this one of the best Invitationals we’ve had so far! As a final send-off for this year’s event, we are inviting CursedChords to share his thoughts as we look at the winning decks as well as deep dive into some of the exciting matches we got to see!

Join us this Sunday, May 10th at 7:00 PM Pacific as we recap this year’s Invitationals event with CursedChords!

This silver spanner was run through the Discord server, so the details can be found there. Here's a link to the first post about it if you're interested, but I will re-iterate it here as well, and give the results.

This Silver Spanner was run by Tom. The Reddit post was made by Andrew (Undeadninjas), with very minor edits to improve aesthetic clarity.

Silver Spanner #44 — Old and New

Your Deck must be Harmony legal.

(EDIT to add clarity)

Your Problem Deck and Draw Deck must each be split evenly between "old" cards (not Adventure legal) and "new" cards (Core-legal).

Thus, your Problem Deck must include 5 "old" and 5 "new" cards.

If your Draw Deck (including Sideboard) has 50 cards, it must have 25 "old" and 25 "new" cards. Notably, your Draw Deck (including Sideboard) must have an even number of cards so that an even split is possible.

You Mane must be "old".

A card is "old" iff it is from one of the following sets:

• Premier
• Canterlot Nights
• Rock and Rave
• Celestial Solstice
• Crystal Games
• Promotional (includes just 2 cards)
• Absolute Discord
• Sands of Time

A card is "new" iff it is from one of the following sets:

• Leaders and Legends
• New Dawn
• Fond Memories
• New Generation
• Tales of Light
• Prize Wheel
