MLP FiM Trading Card Game (Speculations, Discussion, Etc.)

[Silentium]

Well, looks like that there will be an official trading card game for our favorite pony show.

It will be available in October of this year, but with a "preview showing" in the 2013 GenCon later this month.

Thoughts, ideas, discussions?

With regards to the pics in second link, I'm guessing the game will look like one of those competitive TCGs excepted themed as "kid-friendly-and-themed" card game that plays similar to games like MtG or Yugioh, or even that old Neopets TCGS if anyone remembers it. Given the already somewhat announced goods for sale on day one, I can image a cleaning of the shelves day one. Prices of collectors wanting holofoils would be high.

Since they claim to have done extensive amounts of research, I can also imagine tons of background chars and littles odds and ends from the show to appear as "common" cards to collect (I wouldn't want at least one major element of the show as a card every time I pick up a booster)

And as a footnote: Fluttershy+Critters themed deck FTW!! (If such a thing becomes possible)
