This probably should have been a blog/forum post...

Anyway, nothing we have seen indicates that Discord can be everywhere at once. If anything, we know he can’t be, because otherwise he would have stopped Twilight from reuniting the Mane 6 to beat him the first place. Discord is immensely powerful, but he is neither omnipotent, omniscient, nor omnipresent.

As for not sensing the magical disruptions, I would blame it on the Bewitching Bell. When he sensed Tirek stealing magic previously and the princesses transferring their magic to Twilight, it was a case of magic moving from one living being to another. In this case, it was a magical object transferring magic to three living beings. You could also peg that as the reason Discord didn’t intervene when Cozy Glow was stealing all the magic from Equestria, or when the Storm King drained the princesses’ magic with his staff.
