| I'm not planning to see very many. It seems to me that they want to stretch out the time between epics that we actually want, perhaps in an effort to keep us interested and waiting for them to come out. It's having the opposite effect for me. I just don't see anything good coming soon.
Ones that we should see before something like the Storm Archer:
Aspects of Bane, Orcus and Demogorgon, Centaur Hero, HEBI, Barbed Devil, Bone Devil....I could go on for a while, but I have to go to the movies. I'm sure someone will continue where I left off. | |

| Personally, I'd rather see more epic cards for stuff more currently available rather than epic cards for mini's that have been out of print for 2+ years. Having only started playing in March '06, epic cards for Lord Soth, Dritz and other way-old-and-expensive mini's is worthless for me and adds nothing to the current epic play environment for anybody who hasn't been around a long time. On the flip side, putting out an epic card for more current sets means that EVERYBODY that's currently playing the game can use it. A much better marketing strategy, imo...

| | Maybe they should put out two a month, one old and one new. It's understandable to cater to both crowds. I'd rather they didn't alternate, simply because we don't really need new pieces coming out and needing supplimental epic cards. It should be released as a complete product. | |

Perhaps releasing Epic cards for new minis in retailer kits keeps the overall production costs down (less total cards printed), therefore allowing a greater variety of Epics? Just a thought.
Just wait a month or two until Drizzt is released. There will be a lot of "why was this crappy, old, ridiculously expensive fanboy service given an epic card?"

Would probably look like this:
Epic Orc Champion
CE 157 points
Level 15
Speed 8
AC 24
HP 250
+23/+18/+13 (60 Magic +10 Fire)
Special Abilities
[][]Broken- Use this ability before you roll for initiative. If you lose initiative, destroy 1 enemy creature of your choice. If you win initiative, destroy all enemies whose cost is greater than 100 points. DC 35.
[][]Boost Value- Add $20 to this pieces resale value on ebay, $30 on other sites.
Ultra Mega Mega Cleave- Use the cleave ability against any enemy in line of sight.

| | If a popular figure thats out of print gets an epic card its value jumps up by $10-20 almost instantly. | |

You forgot one other special ability...
Supreme Ultra Mega Dire Highlander Cleave [][][] - Use this ability against any creature in the tournament. Destroyed creatures are removed from play for the current round and all following rounds. The removed mini's card is shredded and the removed miniature is placed in the oven @ 425 degrees for 2 hours.

Same reasons for the epic Drider Sorcerer, although I guess it is useful, you're just not allowed to use its usefulness. | |

Both those two sound great as Epic, but if it follows that standard pattern people will prefer to use the non epic version :| | |

| | An Epic Medusa sounds like a cool concept. Turn her gaze attack to range sight (bump its DC to somewhere like 19-21), get rid of the redundant ranged attack, bump up the HP, and cost her aggressively. | |
