HASCON

HASCON is a fan convention created by Hasbro to promote its various licensed properties, including Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony and Magic: The Gathering.

2017
The first HASCON took place September 8–10, 2017, at the Rhode Island Convention Center at Providence, Rhode Island, USA. It featured the reveal and prerelease of Iconic Masters.

Magic also kicked off its year-long 25th Anniversary celebration with a panel of Magic all-stars, exciting reveals, previews for Ixalan, and inside information with the 25th Anniversary Show. In addition, Mark Rosewater featured in Blogatog Live.

Upcoming event
HASCON was initially planned to be a bi-annual event. The next HASCON was announced to take place on September 6–8, 2019, again at the Rhode Island Convention Center at Providence, Rhode Island, USA. However, it has since been delayed with no new date set. According to Mark Rosewater, it would take place in 2020. However, that was before the Covid-19 epidemic started and later that year he later said that there are no plans in the works for the next event.

2017
The 2017 Hascon promos are three Magic silver-bordered cards made especially for HASCON 2017. They feature a mashup of Magic and three of the other Hasbro brands. The promos were designed by Mark Heggen.
 * Transformers: Grimlock, Dinobot Leader / Grimlock, Ferocious King (DFC)
 * NERF: Nerf War
 * Dungeons & Dragons: Sword of Dungeons & Dragons with accompanying gold Dragon token (Preview card for Unstable) The original design made a Beholder token, but the D&D team asked if this could be changed to a Dragon.

2019
Ponies: The Galloping is a three-card charity promotional card set for Magic: The Gathering released, that is a crossover Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. It is possible that these were originally to be released at the cancelled 2019 event.
