Yep, you read that right.
I'm going to submit the first chapter to Equestria daily within a few days. What do y'all think?

I never really got into Magic the Gathering. When I was young I had about 12 cards I'd gotten free with something and made up a game that could be played just using them. I actually found this more fun than that actual rules when I finally got a full set XP

I enjoy the game, but for me the real fun comes in building the deck.
I like to build decks that make sense with the story, because I love telling a story.
My pony has a full backstory, I'm working on fanfictions, short stories, novels and webcomics, and even my playing cards have a freaking backstory in my mind. I just love any medium that lets me create and tell a story.

Thanks!
It features a human Planeswalker showing up in Equestria to warn them of the approach of the Eldrazi known as Kozilek, the Butcher of Truth and his vile spawn.
The Eldrazi are basically an Army of Galactus+Cthulhu.... Very scary.
Why yes, it is Grimdark!

Phyrexia.
They took over Mirrodin, and they are using Glistening oil to convert all of Mirrodin into New Phyrexia. Both my decks are New Phyrexia.

Indeed.
It was decided by fan vote who would win.
Check the new set on getherer, New Phyrexia cards are all about make your opponent hurt everytime they do anything.
Oh, you get to draw a card? That means I draw two.
Oh,y ou attack? You hit yourself.
Oh, it's your turn? I control you. No not your monsters, you.
And infection monster hit your opponent with permanent poison counters. Ten and they lose. It means when I use my infection deck, my opponent basically has Ten hp instead of twenty, and there IS NO WAY to heal.

It's almost all artifacts and artifact creatures.
The story goes that this Fungus Called Mycosinth turns Flesh to steel, and Glistening oil causes Phyresis, turning things into Phyrexians. Phyrexia believes that flesh is a heresy, and seeks to turn all life into machines.
Their mad quest has actuall altered the mana of their plane (So certain cards can be paid for with life) And they worship A golem planeswalker as a god.
Anything that isn't a machine is Either turned into a machine or killed on sight.

...You know, I've never actually played MTG, as my parents have told me it is quite addicting- A family friend knew a homeless guy who spent all of his money on Magic cards.
Do LOVE the pun, though.

Those cards and the others featured on Equestria daily are what gave me the idea.
At some point Twilight will Summon Celestia.
