The on-going storyline of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game continues with two new planned expansion releases:  Icecrown and Worldbreaker.  Icecrown is the conclusion of The Wrath of the Lich King block of cards, and will release in September.  Worldbreaker begins the next block, and is scheduled for a late November release.  The new expansions follow on the heels of this week’s release of the hobby exclusive Archives card set (see “WoW Archives”).

 

The Icecrown expansion features a new master hero, the Lich King himself, and new evils to tempt players.  Players can remain loyal to the light, or embrace the darkness.  Three new Loot cards are included in the expansion for use with the on-line game:  “Paint Bomb,” “Ethereal Portal,” and the rare “Wooly Rhino” mount.  There are 220 unique cards in the set.  Each booster includes 19 game cards and one crafting card.  Display holds 24 booster packs.  The suggested retail price is $3.99 per pack.

 

The Worldbreaker expansion coincides with the upcoming changes to the on-line game and the new Cataclysm expansion.  The world of Azeroth is fractured by the arrival of a new, terrible evil and new factions appear to join the Alliance and the Horde.  Worldbreaker will feature Goblin and Worgen heroes and allies as well as new race and class combos.  There will be three new Loot cards in this 270-card set.  Each booster contains 19 game cards and one crafting card.  Display holds 24 booster pack.  Suggested retail price is $3.99 per pack.
