She then Pendulum Summons "Maiden of Vines" (1000/1000) and "Apple-Buck Pony" (1800/1200) from her hand in Attack Position. Since "Apple-Buck Pony" was Special Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Applejack to look at the top five cards of her Deck and Special Summon any "Apple" monster among them.
