Cloudchaser and Flitter Spoil: Defenders of Equestria

Yeah, she was at Sugar Cube Corner drowning herself in a Super Special Sundae ranting something like “no way those could be real.” She seemed real angry.

Oh no. I hope nothing serious happened.

I tried talking to her about it, but she just glared at me until I left…

Well, maybe she just needs to calm down a little bit until whatever’s troubling her blows over? Hope she feels better soon…

In the meantime, we’ve got something awesome today! Spoilers!

Spoilers? We do? Awesome! Tell me all about them!

Hehe, I haven’t looked at them yet myself yet. I was waiting for you so we could show them to everypony together! That way everypony would see them for the first time ever at the same time!

Oh, yeah. That makes sense.

Hi everypony! We’ve got some Defenders of Equestria spoilers for you all today! I’m sure they’ll be amazing too!

Like always.

Didn’t you say you had one spoiler that you thought would be good but wound up being pretty bad?

Okay, like almost always.

Now if you’re done teasing me, howabout showing everypony some spoilers.

Oh, I’m never done teasing you.

But we should probably showcase the spoilers anyway. Here’s yours.

Alright! Let’s take a look at our first spoiler for the day.

Huh. For some reason I was expecting something… splashier.

Still very good, though, wow.

Cider, cider, cider, cider, cider, cider!

Wah?

The flavour text, silly! It just makes you want to chant.

Cider, cider, cider, cider, cider, cider!

Goofball.

Anyway, I’m more concerned with the actual text. Borrowing friends is usually pretty good, and this only costs you 1 AT and 2 req. Compared to Hoops , that’s actually a good deal.

Sure, you only get 1 power, instead of 2, and you lose out on the chaos text… But these two let you borrow a friend from anywhere, not just the problem you play them to like Hoops does. And with both the req and cost halved, the fact that you only get half as much power isn’t as big a deal.

I bet they’ll be especially fun if you pair them up with Minuette: Schadenfruede or something, since she can retire the friend you borrow and these two for nice profit.

Don’t you mean triple them up since they’re already a pair?

No.

Yeah, I like ‘em. Good effect for the cost, and you get a friend attached to it too. And cheap req. Not as good as Sonata Dusk , but still very good.

Little concerned that they’re common, though. Expect to see a lot of these at the prerelease, wow.

My turn! My turn! Let’s see what we’ve got!

Hehe, together again!

And this time your name comes first.

Huh, yeah. Weird. You’d think they’d both be named the same way.

By Celestia, look, Cici!

Huh? What’s wrong?

Oh I love it! It’s perfect!

What? The ability?

No, silly!

The flavour text! It’s perfect! It describes us so well.

I am going to get as many of these as I can, I love it!

Heh, okay, yeah. That is pretty sweet.

We do make a good team, don’t we?

The best!

Anyway, now that you’re done freaking out about the flavour text—

You mean the bestest flavour text ever!

Maybe it’s time to actually talk about what we do?

Oh, that’s easy.

We do 2 of everything.

What?

2 AT, 2 power, 2 req of 2 colours, calming 2, and move when someone else with 2 or less power moves.

Not to mention we’re two pegasi, hehe. And the “two” in the subtitle.

Huh, yeah. That is a lot of 2s.

We’re twobular!

No. No we are not.

It’s the twooth and you know it.

Please stop.

Aww, Cici…

We need to work on your attitwode!

I hate you.

No you don’t. We’re the bestest team ever, remember?

Anyway, let’s actually talk about the ability, okay?

Moving for free is generally pretty good, and Blue and Yellow tend to have a lot of small friends to move, some with their own great movement abilities. Like Wildfire , or anything with Swift. So you can get a lot of mileage out of these.

Though I’m a little worried that having two of these lets you move them both as many times as you like. That’s just asking to be used in some combo or another. But, uh, I have no idea what.

Hehe, well it makes sense, Cici.

If one team of us is amazing, then two teams of us should be unstoppable!

Okay, you got me there.

The weirdest part to me, though, is you don’t have to move another one of your characters. If you move an opponent’s 2 power character, with a Frozen in Magicite for example, you can move us too. That feels weird.

Huh. That is weird.

Maybe it was an oversight in wording or something? Guess we’ll have to see when the actual card comes out, and not this fake one.

But yeah, we’re a pretty sweet card!

The only thing weird about it is why put us on it? You’re usually Pink.

I’ve been Yellow before.

Flitter: Sitter . Got a critter? Just had a litter? Don’t be bitter. Hire Flitter! The bestest sitter!

Should you really be advertising your foal and pet sitting side business while we’re doing this?

Hey, it never hurts to advertise.

Still weird, though… Pink is usually the colour of “having fun” isn’t it? And that’s what the flavor text mentions…

Any colour can have fun, silly!

Stop overanalyzing it. You like the card remember?

Yeah…

Yeah, I do.

Then don’t worry about it!

Oh Cici, I almost forgot!

there’s a note in here too! It says that there are a lot of cards with two ponies on them in this set.

That’s pretty neat, don’t you think, Cici? Lots of besties get to be shown together having fun!

Yeah, that’s a neat idea. Wonder if that has any mechanical purpose, or if it’s just flavour. Either way, it’s a nice touch.

The best!

Anyway, both of these cards are pretty awesome. I’m glad we got to show them off to everypony. Makes me excited for the new set.

Yes! I need to collect all of the besties!

So I guess that’s all for now. Later, everypony.

Bye! Hope you enjoyed the tworrific spoilers!

Oh come on, that’s too much of a stretch,

I guess it was pretty tworible.

Walking away…

I guess that’s fair. We already finished twotoring everypony about these spoilers.

Sigh…
