I’d say… 25-50% of Discord’s power remaining would be good, due to him maybe losing the “Spirit of Disharmony” part of his title, just representing Chaos.
 
He’s likely about as powerful as four alicorns as is.

@AC97  
Yeah - that might have been plausible. Perhaps as an aftereffect of Tirek, too. (Of course, do we know he wasn’t significantly weakened? He isn’t exactly the type to admit it.)

@Latecomer
 
Tirek barely grew after draining him (possibly because he’s not good with that flavor of magic), and I’m assuming there was a good reason he waited that long to try doing it. Tirek was confident upon seeing three alicorns before the mohawk growing in.
 
I meant for that sort of weakening to be a thing after the series.

@AC97  
After the series, does it matter how powerful he is?

@Latecomer
 
Not really, no, unless you’re doing a fanfic.

Not going into spoilers.
 
But what’s was so great about Grogar as a concept anyway?
 
If is nostalgia, then I must say I wasn’t in G1 so that’s not my mojo.

@Twi Clown  
He’s a Necromancer and that’s awesome

@Prowl
 
Lots of powers are inherently awesome most of the time, that doesn’t cut it for me.

I hope they bring more old villains from the G1 cartoon.

@Prowl  
And i liked their addition that he actually made creatures way back when.

@Prowl
 
Grogar was never actually a necromancer in G1. That’s a common misconception.

@AC97  
But he does have the style for it.

So it all bows down to be a necromancer then.

@Twi Clown  
Yes, evil magic is basically it.

@Twi Clown  
As a concept, what’s cool about him is the design, since that’s all they actually carried over. (Same with Tirek, really.)

I don’t get it.

@ILoveMyoozik
 
You never know it could become a catchy classic.

@Twi Clown  
Well to be fair, a lot of people aren’t really impressed with him at the moment. As of Summer Sun Setback, he’s really only a plot device to bring the other’s together.
 
Of course, his big chance to shine is obviously in certain episodes some of us have seen and other’s haven’t, so this is probably a quite dangerous discussion to be having right now.

@Latecomer
 
The only thing I can say, is that I’d keep the curveball.

@Background Pony #A379  
Why do I even bother telling people to keep season 9 leak spoilers to season 9 leak spoiler threads.

@LightningBolt  
Because it gives you an excuse to brandish the banhammer, which I assume is always fun in some sense.
 
@Twi Clown  
He’s an ancient evil we’ve never heard of, so him being super powerful is plausible. Being the weakened chessmaster is also very entertaining.

@GenericArchangel  
I don’t find it fun.

@GenericArchangel
 
Well, A Flurry of Emotions did mention him, so not technically someone we’d never heard of.

@AC97  
Yeah, but in a fictional context, so that’s Daring Do mark 2 which is going to piss some folks off from the start..
