In order to make a legal 52 card deck, I have to decide which two of the mane cast to leave out of the deck? And Celestia forbid that the bronies at the table have differing opinions of which of the mane six should and shouldn't make the cut (heh).
I like the idea, but it'd be easier to play with them if they had regular symbols instead of cutie marks. Like this they're more of a novelty type of thing than anything you could practically use, because every time someone new joins the game who hasn't played with those cards before you have to explain the order of the symbols and it'll take them time to get used to it.
Believe me, I tried to convert some people to use German cards instead of the traditional French look and unless we already had a majority agreeing to use the German layout I was never able to get people to play with them.
I have a straight, the 4 of balloons, the 5 of butterflies, the 6 of apples, the 7 rainbow colored lightning, and the 8 of sparkles! Me: how do you have 5 different suits!?
Well this is going to make solitaire a lot more confusing.
I really do like how the face cards all have consistent themes. These little brony projects always have so much care and attention put into them, it never fails to amaze me!
Okay, I can sell a kidney for $10,000, that's $20,000 for both, I can buy a thousand or two of these and I should stay alive long enough on dialysis to die of happiness when they arrive.
Obviously you'd use a six-suited deck to play Dragon Poker.
For those of you who haven't read Robert Aspirin's "Little Myth Marker", Dragon Poker is a variation of poker using six-card hands. This gives you additional winning hands such as Three Pair, Full Belly (two sets of three), Full Dragon (a four-of-a-kind plus a pair), and so on.
Six suits would expand this even further, giving you a Five-of-a-Kind and a Six-of-a-Kind even. In fact, you'd probably have to expand it even further to seven card hands, so that you could have wild combos like four-of-a-kind plus three-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind plus two pairs, and...well, my brain's starting to hurt here, but you get the idea.

Love it! I'm totally printing these out tomorrow; UNO cards, then playing cards! I love this brony.
Totally busting these out at the next poker night.
Semi-gloss photo paper, perhaps? Hmm.
Awesome, but it seems like it would be difficult or expensive to get them printed out and double-sided in color.
The little Applejack.Ass is so cute~~~.^^
Pure evil.

If I could get these printed out on card-quality paper, I might just bring them the next time I play Texas Hold'em with my uncle. Froggin' rad.

If anyone can find a website that could custom print these maybe we can get a group buy going at a discount... Anyone know of one?
