Friendship is Card Games: Moonstuck, Pt. 9 · 1:08pm February 25th

This might be milking the series a bit much, but how else do you get moon cheese? :raritywink:

But yes, this final Moonstuck blog uses the brief post-boss epilogue, the bonus bits scattered throughout the blog's lifespan (helpfully compiled in the ZIP archive,) and the 10th anniversary special where a not-so-little Luna returns to the moon to revisit some fondly remembered friends. An especially nice touch given that Egophiliac had fallen out of the fandom by that point.

… and, saying that, I only now notice what looks like the Unity Crystals on the floor in one panel. This did come out a few months after the movie.

This also includes various side stories like the batpony brothers learning to fly and a nightmare of Woona working in a completely average office (which is an entirely reasonable thing to treat as a nightmare.) It’s a weird grab bag, but goodness knows I’ve worked with stranger.

Play us off, Woona!

Still Standing 1W
Instant
When target creature you control dies or is put into exile this turn, return that card to the battlefield under your control with a +1/+1 counter on it.
For anyone else, crashing into the sun would be the end. Luna was far from anyone else.

Pebbl, Fledgling Roc 2W
Legendary Creature — Bird
Flying
Whenever you attack with two or more creatures with flying, put a +1/+1 counter on Pebbl.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
Friends and family make a roc bolder.
2/2

Printer Jam 3W
Enchantment
Each player can’t draw more than one card each turn.
Each player can’t cast more than one spell each turn.
It’s hard to get anything done when there’s no way to do it.

Relic Keepers 4W
Creature — Bat Pegasus Cleric
Flying
When Relic Keepers enters the battlefield, return target artifact or enchantment card from your graveyard to your hand.
The Cartographer’s Cap still lies in the observatory. Like its attendants, it patiently waits for when its mistress next needs it.
3/3

Perfectly Average 1U
Instant
Target spell’s controller manifests it. (They put in onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature and can turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it’s a creature card.)
Turning the extraordinary mundane can be as impressive as its opposite, if for different reasons.

Boggle Vacantly 2U
Instant
Creatures your opponents control get -1/-0 until end of turn.
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn.)
After ten years, Luna’s friends had forgotten just what kinds of shenanigans she was capable of.

Chalkclaw Flight Instructor 2U
Creature — Shapeshifter Advisor
2U, T: Target creature and each creature with the same name and controller as that creature gain flying until end of turn.
Changelings have to learn the flight mechanics of every set of wings imaginable, and then some.
2/3

Imogen, Love Distributor 3U

U: Target creature you control becomes a copy of target creature with a +1/+1 counter on it until end of turn.

Oddly Specific Nightmare B
Sorcery
Name a nonland card. Target player reveals their hand and discards all cards with that name. If no cards were discarded this way, draw a card.
“Fear is a deeply personal thing. I do not question nightmares; I simply end them.”
—Princess Luna

Collision Course 1B
Enchantment
Whenever a Vehicle deals combat damage, that Vehicle’s controller sacrifices all non-Pilot creatures that crewed it this turn.
In hindsight, letting the baloth steer had been a bad idea.

4/1

Ballistic Impetus 2R
Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2, has flying as long as it’s attacking, and is goaded. (It attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.)

Partner
3/3

Danger McSteele 1G
Legendary Creature — Pony Merfolk Scout
Whenever a commander you control attacks, it explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it’s a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)
Partner
1/2

Prophetic Petroglyphs 1G
Enchantment
You may look at the top card of your library any time.
Whenever you cast a creature spell, scry 1.
Hoofcraft — As long as you control three or more Ponies, Pegasi, and/or Unicorns, you may cast creature spells from the top of your library.

Union Break 1G
Instant
Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn. Create a Food token. (It’s an artifact with “2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.”)
“Business is business, but the lunch hour is sacred.”

Equip 3
Equip Artificer or Scientist 1
Not every scientific discipline needs one, but they all look better in one.

5/5

Defictionalize GW
Sorcery
Put a toy you own onto the battlefield as a 2/2 creature token with that toy’s name, colors, and creature types. If the toy has wings, the token has flying. If the toy has a horn, scry 2. If it has neither, create a Food token.

3/4

This might be milking the series a bit much, but how else do you get moon cheese? :raritywink:

I don't know, you could always build a home-made rocket in your basement with your loyal, long-suffering mute dog and fly there for it. :scootangel: You might even run into a cracking robot parking meter attendant, stranger things have happened. :moustache:

Moonstuck was one of my favorite things from the early fandom! Where can the ZIP archive be found? I'd love to read through it again.

The archive can be found through this post. I double-checked and the link is still working as of this posting.

Thank you!

Just make sure you don't wear the wrong trousers! :rainbowlaugh:

Defictionalize is a rip off of Applejack's Family Gathering ability on her official/tournament illegal MtG card.

Just thought you should know.

It's a deliberate homage. How better to represent a fictional concept getting created in real life—the inspiration being a plush Woona—than the mechanic employed by a physically extant pony card that puts toys into the game?

Ok. Thanks for the explanation.
