Cryptozoic Entertainment has announced an April release date for the next World of Warcraft Trading Card Game expansion. Worldbreaker: War of the Elements is the second set in the “Worldbreaker Block” and will be available in booster packs or as a deluxe “Epic Collection.” Themed Deathwing Card Sleeves will also be released at around the same time.
 
War of the Elements focuses on the aftermath of the “Cataclysm” that has changed the face of the world of Azeroth. Players can join forces with the Elemental Lords in their mission to restore or rebuild Azeroth. New loot cards will also be included in the card set.
 
Each booster pack will have a suggested retail price of $3.99, available in a countertop display of 24 boosters.
 
The War of the Elements Epic Collection is packaged in a deluxe card storage box that features card dividers, a deck box, and a playmat, as well as a pocket guide to the game and complete card list for the expansion. The collection includes six Booster Packs from the War of the Elements set and a guaranteed Loot card. The suggested retail price will be $34.99.
 
The chief villain of the Cataclysm decorates the back of these card sleeves. Made from high-end materials, these sleeves are packaged 80 to a pack, so each pack will include enough sleeves to cover an entire standard deck. Suggested retail price $8.99.
 






Also, the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game will again offer Class Starter Decks in 2011. Scheduled to release in May, these decks will provide new players with a complete ready-to-play deck themed to a particular class and allegiance.
 
There will be 10 different starters, including one deck for each class. Both the Horde and the Alliance will have five decks each. The new Goblin and Worgen races and the Death Knight class will all be included in this year’s assortment.
 
Each Class Starter Deck will have a suggested retail price of $10.99. They will be packaged 10 decks per countertop display. This starter format was introduced in 2010 (see “‘World of Warcraft Class Starter Decks’”).
