^people.... this should be a real card. |

^ That's pretty much the highest compliment I can imagine... I'm flattered. |

I like it, but honestly I think the card should have a shot of a single Parasprite, and say something more like this:
Parasprite 1/1 Flying Cost: (Green)(Black)(1) (Green)(Black)(tap) - Tap an opponents land card; Place a 1/1 Pest type creature token with flying into play tapped. This token may also use this ability. "Tales of crops and harvests consumed. If these creatures are in Ponyville...you're doomed!" ~Zecora Then, another card should show the swarm of them, and do this: Parasprite Swarm X/X Flying Cost: (Green)(Black)(2) Remove (X) 1/1 Pest tokens and/or Parasprite cards you own from the game when you set this card down . (X) cannot be greater then 4. (Green)(Black)(tap) - Tap an opponents land card; Place a 1/1 Pest type creature token with flying into play tapped. This token may also use this ability. "If we can't get them under control before the Princess arrives, it'll be a total disaster!" "Ew! If you ask me, it's already a total disaster." ~Twilight & Rarity Finnaly, a shot of Pinkie Pie with all those instruments for this one: Pied Piper's Concert Permanent Artifact Cost: (5) (3)(tap) - Shuffle all Pest type creature cards in play back into their opponent's decks. Remove all Pest type creature tokens from play. "You've got a real problem all right, and a banjo is the only answer!" ~Pinkie Pie |

Eclipse, I see you are priorizing flavor over simplicity, and in my opinion, this is a perfectly legitimate approach for crossover fan cards. If you'd like to give those three cards a shot, I'm using this to make the cards and VLC for snapshots. Edit with the graphics editing software of your choice if needed.
In my experience, most commenters here seem to prefer cards that could theoretically be part of a hypothetical "real" MLP:FiMtG set, so I decided to slow down and spend more time on balancing and polishing (not that a set including the cards I made would really work - it would be all over the place and have all kinds of issues I missed). Should you be interested in feedback in regards to playability, I suspect that getting your mana locked down each turn risks being aggravating (although you did take care to make the mana investment greater than the opponent's resource loss, so it may be OK). As for the artifact, it's very binary, meaning that it is either useless, or completely hoses the opponent, which generally doesn't make for a fun experience for either player. That being said, I like the flavor. :) |

@Invisible_Pink_Unicorn
Thanks for the feedback. My aim was to have their abbilities reflect their nature in the show as much as possible. Thus the very act of 'eating' also makes more of them. Thus they can be churned out at disturbing rates. As for your comments on Pied Piper's Concert, how about I replace it's current abbility with this: (1) - return a 1/1 creature to it's owner's hand, or remove a 1/1 token from play. Also, in keeping with that, I'll modify Parasprite Swarm. It will be a 1/1 Flying, but I'd give it this abbility too: Tap Parasprite card or token, add +1/+1 to Parasprite Swarm as long as the card/token remains tapped. You may choose not to untap it during your untap phase. You may not use this on more than three Parasprite. Is that a little more balance? I want Pied Piper's Concert to be useful in many situations, but be extra helpful against Parasprite and Parasprite Swarm. All those 1/1 critters make it perfect for stopping them. |

@ Eclipse:
Your new version of the Pied Piper's concert is a lot more flexible and would be more than an anti-parasprite sideboard card. Assuming that playability is still on your mind, I would recommend making it a one-time effect instead of a repeatable one (repeatable hosers are aggravating). Perhaps an artifact that costs 2, enters the battlefield tapped, and can be sacrificed for 1 to bounce all creatures with power 1 or less? (Tokens can be returned to their owner's hand. They just vanish when they do.) IMO, the new parasprite swarm ability could be simplified to "Tap a pest creature you control: Parasprite Swarm gets +1/+1 until end of turn." without breaking anything. By the way, the way PS currently is worded, it is immune to the PPC as long as you have a Parasprite you could tap in reaction to the PS being targeted by the PPC (it would no longer be 1/1 when the PPC's ability resolves). |
