Were there no hypnotized pegasi/earth ponies in the link I provided? I see you are using palette-swapped Pinkie Pie and a shadowbolt (an illusion created by Nightmare Moon - these guys didn't actually exist)


Also, if you want a madman (well, madmare) card, search images for "pony Screwloose". I think someone has already made her into a creature token

I couldn't get the pics in the link to work with the program.  It's overly fussy sometimes for reasons I don't quite fully understand.  SO I hadda do a random google search.

Is she actively ebils or just whacko?

I may be able to make her a PC...

Is Nightmare Moon powerful enough to be an Ancient One or can I make her a Herald?

I was going to make Discord an Ancient One.

Is there anyone else strong enough to be an ANcient One or Herald?  I'm assuming SOmbra and Chrysalis.  Maybe the Ursas/WIndigo, Lord of the Nightmares.

Does "making it permanently night" Ancient One level?

I honestly don't know.

EDIT: Sombra is a punk-ass son of a bitch who no-one cares about. He'd be a herald at best.

Ancient One level is being able to end the world by yourself.  Ot at least make a decent go of it with your horde of minions

I think Sombra's big enough to warrant being an Ancient One, especially in his giant-diaphanous-cloud-of-darkness form. He was practically an environmental hazard before they got into the city, and during the climax he was corrupting the city as he went.

But is that Ancient One level?

Actually, come to think of it, the only villain with world-ending power in MLP that I can think of is Discord, and that's just because he causes a total collapse of cause and effect as part of his nature.

Discord is definitely an ancient one

Nightmare Moon and Windigos might be heralds (although they are not connected to Discord)
Both could potentially end life in Equestria (by bringing eternal night / eternal winter respectively)

Queen Chrysalis isn't world-ending: she would be a herald.

Sombra... considering that his plot is limited to the Crystal Empire... I think he would be the game equivalent of Dunwitch Horror - not world-ending by himself, but enough of a threat that the investigators cannot ignore his return.

The leader of nightmares isn't powerful by himself - he is responsible for Nightmare Moon, but won't do much without someone to empower.

The Ursas are not malicious or particularly alien, just heavily templated dire bears.

But theoretically if anything pissed one of the ursas off could anything stop it?

Ursa Minor was stopped by Twilight. Ursa Major could only be stopped by the princessess... but that doesn't make it an ancient one any more than it makes Godzilla. :huh

Discord's wave of chaos resulted in a group of balley-dancing buffalos. (non-malicions - just a background gag)

Would they count for anything?

So chrysalis and sombra as heralds (and maybe sunset shimmer)

The other three as ancient ones

the ursa as a maybe or some sort of event

sound good for now?  Are there any other opponents on this level?

Oh, all the herald/ancient one candidates have awesome fanart, much better for an ancient one card than their canon depictions - you'd need to ask the authors' permissions though.
