Latest Upper Deck loot cards revealed, including El Pollo Grande
Boubouille over at MMO Champion has once again been ferreting around in the patch files and he's discovered the next set of loot from Upper Deck's next TCG expansion Fields of Honor which is due out on 30th June.
There is a legend of El Pollo Grande, the scariest chicken in all of Azeroth, the black chicken of death. For years he has been the stuff of myth, summonable only by Niby the Almighty during a Felwood quest chain. Now, however, he has once again returned, this time as a mount. Yes, you heard me right, a giant chicken mount. This El Pollo Grande is not as dark or mean as his namesake, instead looking like a regular -- albeit giant -- chicken and will be an epic land mount. So if you've not yet reached level 60, then consider this your motivation.
Also in the cards (see what I did there?) are an ogre pinata (which I'm surmising will be a BoP item with no charges, like the Goblin Weather Machine). Finally, for those of you who walked the Path of Illidan, there's the Path of Cenarius which leaves flowers in your wake. Nice.

I'm assuming you also personally wet yourself at the Battle of Baden Hill?

Pretty cool stuff :) Sadly I don't play the TCG anymore, and am not going to pay a ton of money on ebay for a chicken mount.
MusedMoose May 5th 2009 2:44PM
I don't know what's cooler - this or the rocket mount. *grin* Normally I'd never pay money for an in-game item, but this kind of thing is almost worth watching eBay.

The card game is where WoW's Engineering profession went after it died on the live servers.

Wow there seem to be more and more of these coming out all the time. I wonder if this will involve into a micro-transaction system for WoW where you have to spend RL cash to get novelty items in game?
