At this stage Drums of War is the only insight we have, but I would guess Blizzard would have asked you to incorporate some aspects of Wrath of the Liche King into sets 8 and 9. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The foil version of this card (the one in the photo) looks really nice in hand, I really do like the way the Magtheridon's Lair cards and this one have been foiled versus the older MC/Ony cards.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was hoping to keep X'iri/Footsteps a lot quieter than Azaloth/Cull/Flip. Might have to actually write a list around it now *sighs*.</description></item><item><title>re: A Look at Things to Come</title><link>http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/WOW/COMMUNITY/blogs/designers_blog/archive/2008/06/30/1259568.aspx#1265781</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:37:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">02b41859-1c05-4ac9-82ac-744f27f3c840:1265781</guid><dc:creator>Checksthesky</dc:creator><description>Jacimo,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry to spoil your fun but I think it is pretty obvious. :P Plus, the deck is still insanely fun to play.
