Rainbow Dash's starter is the best-documented of the six Friendships Begin decks. The sealed box holds her complete 70-card build — 50-card Main Deck, 15-card Scene Deck, her Ruby Rare Main Character card and 4 Story Cards — plus 3 five-card booster packs and the paper playmat that carries the rules on its back. Confirmed cards from unboxings include Cloudominium, an Emerald Rare Scene, and a trio of Sapphire Rares: Prank Sneeze Powder, Hoofshake Buzzer! and Rushing Rescue, with Scootaloo and Tank appearing through the deck.
Her Story arc is 'The Best Young Flyer': Rainbow Dash overcoming her nerves to win the Grand Prize. One confirmed card fits the theme: Prank Sneeze Powder, a Sapphire Rare Item costing 3 Force of Harmony that adds 2 Inspiration, a Character's strength in a Contact. Beyond that card, KAYOU and reviewers haven't published a strategy breakdown for this deck, so we won't invent one.
Every card you play costs Force of Harmony, and what you're building with it is Inspiration, a Character's strength when it meets a rival in a Contact. A turn cycles Starting, Main, Contact and End phases; your side of the table splits into Scene, Story, Retirement and Adventure areas, and the Adventure area holds up to 3 of your characters at once. Promote your Main Character to the stage four Story card and you win; empty your opponent's Main Deck and you also win. Expect 20–30 minutes a game, ages 6 and up.
This page sells the NA print. NA decks reach us inside the sealed six-deck Friendships Begin display, which we break into single character decks — each deck box wears its own barcode. The SEA print of Rainbow Dash's deck has its own listing; both prints are the same English game product, so pick whichever print run you prefer to collect.
