Specific RSS feeds (hearthstone, runeterra) doesn't have images

I'm using RSS feeds to access the articles of outofcards. I'm using inoreader, but I suppose it is the same with other rss readers.
For the generic RSS for all the news on the site, each article has an image associated to it. (it's pretty convenient for cards for instance)
I'm more interested in news about hearthstone and runeterra, but when I select these specific feeds, I get the post, but not the image. Do you think you can resolve this issue? Or add this feature?
By the way, thanks for the content, you're doing a great job.

Hey choinul,
Sorry, this got missed in all the card reveal and expansion launch craze!
The individual game feeds appear to have the same formatting as the ones within the main feed. I signed up for Iinoreader to take a look at the app (been a while since I've used a dedicated feed manager, feelsgoodman) and I can confirm the issue. As I said though, these feeds are constructed the same way so this is an oddity that I suspect is on their end in some way.
It is possible their scraper was blocked from requesting the URLs to obtain that data. We've since relaxed restrictions a bit more to help legitimate uses of web scraping to work on the site, so maybe in time they'd appear.
I'm going to add a CDATA tag to the RSS feed which should hopefully give them, and other readers, that data. It'll go out on our next deploy.

Scratch that. CDATA didn't want to play well and I learned about the MediaRSS extension so our images can now have <image> and <media:thumbnail> tags.
I also contacted Inoreader to ask them about what they look for on feeds to make sure they're supported.
