Okay... So... I like Ponies. Really!

So, I decided I'm going to make a Horse Deck. I'm going alter some art, I am sure, but I wanted to keep it all inside the card sets, and not add in anything custom cards. So, here is what I have so far.

Ponies

4 Timbermare
4 Tarpan
4 Clockwork Steed

Unicorns

4 Revered Unicorn
4 Prized Unicorn

Pegasi

4 Mesa Pegasus
4 Pegasus Stampede

Extended Cast
2 Riptide Replicator (Make bigger ponies!)

Things Ponies do
4 Overrun
2 Planeswalker's Mirth (Ponies like to laugh)

Ponyvile
4 An-Havva Township (I've always imagined this as a Stable, for some reason)
2 Gavony Township
9 Plains
9 Forests

-----

I'm willing to trim back on the creature cards a bit, but what I need are good ideas on cards that can represent things that MLP's are *likely* to do, that are on color. Dance of Many seems like a thing ponies would do, mind you, but it's in Blue, and I don't want to diversify that much.

It also hurt to cut out Dwarven Pony, but there we are.

Don't know how well it fits your them but Storm Herd is always fun.

First things first, I will admit that I am not familiar with MLP:FiM.  I will also admit that I watched a couple episodes of the original MLP, but that was so long ago that I barely remember it.  However I do think I can grasp where you're trying to go with this deck so I'm willing to give you a try.

Bad as it may be, perhaps you might like Rainbow Vale ?
Undiscovered Paradise is slightly less craptastic.
Trace of Abundance also has that "paradise" vibe to it.

I know you were asking for spells, but I couldn't resist looking for more ponies (or pony-like creatures...):
If MLP:FiM has a sort of anti-Hero or forever grumpy pony Spitemare looks like a horse and can be cast with just white mana.
Elderwood Scion can be your big pony...although it does look like a moose/elk...
Lucent Liminid
Purity again with the elk thing
Wispmare them legs...but you said you were altering art and it does add utility
Shinewend ok so it's a flying lamb, but that art...

Unfortunately spells of Pony character are a bit harder to come by.  Mainly because MtG is a game about fantasy combat and parties, smiles, and laughter (withouth the "s" on the front) are hard to come by (mad props on finding Planeswalker's Mirth, I don't think I would have).
Conviction I'm sure this emotion comes up at some point, where someone makes a decision and decides to do something about it.
True Conviction see above
Heroes' Reunion a reunion is  sort of a party...sort of
Tribal Unity will probably require an art alteration, but unity is sort of close to friendship in MtG
Honor of the Pure
Debt of loyalty
Pledge of Loyalty closest thing I could find to friendship.

That's about all I've got for ya.  Sorry.
Good luck on the deck.

From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr:

the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play?

I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature.

Thank you for some replies!

I'm not a horrible stickler about which Generation Ponies I use, so I'm good with thing that tie into the older series.

@Draco : I considered Storm Herd, and I pulled the card off my list for being too expensive. I know I've tried to make decks around Storm Herd before, but they've never really worked out, which is a shame, because I love Storm Herd.

@Flyheight

Rainbow Vale! I forgot about that card. I so want to use that now. What is more friendly than saying "Here, you can share my mana too!"

I was going to add Spitemare, but I have only the one copy, and I can't find any more at local dealers.
There is the Temptation of using Elderwood Scion as Oakly. Since, like poor Oakly gets no respect, having ears of antlers and all.
Lucent Liminid would be cool if I can find some. (Sold out, too)
Purity would be fine.
Not sure if the last two would be better or worse than what I have, will consider.

I kinda considered Debt of Loyalty, also, but I'm not sure if I can kill off any creatures, really. It's a neat card though. I like Tribal Unity, although local store is also sold out.

I'll keep looking.
