(1/2) March of the Lich King will be the last set before the Deathrattle Rogue cards from Year of the Gryphon rotate out of Standard, and we wanted to give them one last boost. #BehindTheCards https://t.co/QJQBeGmbZr

      (2/2) Additionally, we made several cards in Nathria that were thematic remakes of past Hearthstone card characters; the same is true for Scourge Illusionist, and there are a few more like that coming as well.

        @Celestalon Talking of past characters, am I right in thinking this is rattlegore? https://t.co/el93fl96JZ

          @DanielJohnRowe It's the same type of creature, but not Rattlegore specifically.

      @Celestalon This thematic decision seems recurrent in every end of year set. Is it premeditated, or is it part of end of year sets purposes to bring life to archetypes that didn't take off during their time in standard?

        @yggdreigon_hs Yep, very much intended. Can't hit everything that didn't see much play, but we look for opportunities where it would be most effective and beneficial.
