Cloudchaser and Flitter Explain: AD Spoilers

What? You mean… actual cards?

Yup!

How in Equestria did you manage that?

Oh, it was nothing. I just asked the creators if I could spoil a card or two on our little thing here since, you know, we’re getting a little popular.

And they actually said yes! Can you believe it?

That is fantastic news! So what’s the card? Let me see!

No way, you gotta guess.

Oh come on, Cici. Just show me.

Nope, you gotta guess first. But I’ll give you a hint.

She’s cool, has awesome hair, is wearing a Wonderbolt cadet outfit, can fly faster than almost anypony, and is your best friend ever.

Oh, that’s easy.

Rainbow Dash.

That’s right it’s m-

Hey…

Gotcha.

Now let me see!

Okay, fine. Here you go.

Don’t I look awesome?

I’ll say! That’s pretty great. Congrats, Cici!

My favorite part is how well Ready and Willing works with my other card, Flexible Flier.

You exhaust Flexible Flier to play Ready and Willing, then use Ready and Willing to ready Flexible Flier to use me again!

It is basically the best thing ever.

Yes, that is pretty cute. The flavour text even suggests that interaction.

Huh, it does? I never even noticed…

Haha, well, that just makes the card even better.

And I have chaos text too! So if I get flipped in a face off, I can ready characters!

Not that it’s quite as useful as the main text, but hey. Added utility is added utility.

Oh! Oh! And I’m 2 power for 1 cost! That’s a fantastic cost to power ratio. I can’t see many Blue aggro decks not running this. I am so excited for this card!

Yes, it’s very nice, Cici.

But, um… is there any chance there’s… maybe… another spoiler you got? Maybe a pink card featuring a young pegasus mare with an adorable bow?

Well, I do have another spoiler… but it’s not Pink.

Oh… well…

It does feature a very good friend of mine, though. Ta-dah!

I’m yellow?

Sure are. Bet you’re ma-

That is absolutely perfect.

Huh?

This card fits me perfectly. I absolutely adore it.

And look, it’s even helping me advertise my foal and pet sitting business!

Maybe I’ll get some extra clients this way, hee hee. First hour is free if you’ll be gone for four or more hours!

Oh! Maybe enough ponies will sign up that I can quit my other job! Wouldn’t that’d be neat?

That is… a weird first thought to have about the card. I’d have at least looked at the abilities first or something.

Oh come on, Cici. You know I care more about the fun parts of the card than what they actually do.

Did you even read the abilities?

Sure! I just figured I’d leave the actual card analysis to you, I just want to focus on the flavour right now.

Sigh, okay then.

Well, you’re actually not too bad a card yourself.

I mean, you’re not too amazing when you get played the first time, as 3 at for 3 power is kind of meh. And that’s only if there’s a Critter there.

But when you’re moving, you’re 2 or 3 power for 1 AT assuming a Foal or Critter is there. That’s pretty good!

So you’ll probably never see competitive constructed play, but you’d probably be a pretty reasonable limited card. Well, I know I’d probably play you anyway.

Hehe, thanks, Cici. I’m glad you approve.

I suppose this means I need to build a Yellow Foal and Critter deck now, don’t I…

That sounds… pretty bad.

But I suppose you wouldn’t be Flitter if you didn’t make silly decks just because you could.

Sure wouldn’t!

Well, I’ve got good news for you, then. You’ll be pretty easy to get.

Apparently you’re going to be in the Blue/Yellow Unlikely Duo starter for Absolute Discord. Pretty cool, huh?

Haha, I was in the Pink starter for Premier as well! I guess they’re keeping trends for both of us, then.

You’re a rare on both cards, while I’m a common in the starter both times.

Huh. I guess that is a thing. Cool I guess?

So got any more spoilers? Maybe Bulk? Oh, or Rumble? They’ve both helped us out a few times as well

Nah, just the two. But honestly, that’s kind of a big deal.

Yeah it is!

Thanks, Cici. These are kind of great spoilers. I’m glad to see we’re in the set.

Yeah, me too.

Anyway, I’m gonna take off. I’ve gotta go show these to like… half of Ponyville.

Oh, let me come with you! This is gonna be great.

Sure thing. Let’s go.
