Volevo farvi vedere cosa ci aspetta nei prossimi mesi... a Novembre come credo sappiate già tutti ormai, uscirà l'espansione "Assalto del Gladiatore (GLAS)", ma l'espansione che la seguirà, la
PHANTOM DARKNESS (PTDN), si preannuncia già ora di essere sgravissima... la data di uscita stimata per l'occidente è fine febbraio 2008, e al momento si conoscono solo gli effetti di alcune carte, grazie alle riviste giapponesi... le rarità indicate sono le loro, da noi la UDE le stravolgerà tutte o quasi... ma non cambia il fatto che stanno per uscire delle carte che stravolgeranno il gioco... eccovele in anteprima:
