That would certainly be interesting. Double-move to base an opponent far away, then take all four of your attacks on the next activation. | |

| Well, from Talafenix's comment, I'd say is would be Ryld, but I'd really like to see an epic version of my all-time favourite (and kinda outdated) piece: the Purple Dragon Knight! Something like:
Commander 7
130 HP
26 AC
+23/+18/+13 (20 magic)
Fearless
Cone of Fear as a special ability
Morale Booster: warband gets morale save +2
Some other PDK prestige class related abilities could be cool, too. | |

Drizzt comes to mind, but so does Ryld. But, just from his comments, I don't think either will be in the April kit. I'm betting mayber the June kit, just in time for summer and the touney season.
Or he is just messing with everyoen's head.
I vote for the second choice. | |

Didn't know about that, sorry. But it seems pretty weird to release new stats for a just released set, when there is so much that can be improved from older sets (like Soth and Mord). | |

| It's always a thrill to start one of these crazy threads and then have Ian or Shoe post in it. And, I'm even more happy that it's another one of those cryptological posts.
For a while now I've been collecting Ryld figures, hoping that he gets an epic card.
Any speculation on an epic Ryld's stats?
(Epic) Ryld Argith
Cost: 244
Commander 4
Faction: CG/CE
Level: 15
Speed: 8
AC: 26
HP: 175
Melee Attack: +26/+21/+16 (30 magic)
Ranged Attack: None
Type: Humanoid (Drow, Elf)
Commander Effect: same as regular Ryld
Special Abilities: Improved Initiative, Keen Critical, Melee Sneak Attack +5, Spell Resistance, Evade Damage, Cleave, Blind-Fight

| I think that Ryld would be a nice addition. Also as a CG/CE piece he has mulitple uses so could be a likely condidate for an Epic boost.
I think that an Epic Sage is what we all need though | |

| | I'd love an Epic Aspect of Orcus or Demogorgon, but I'd guess Ryld will be next (so that there is another Epic for the good guys). It would be great to see an Epic card for Snurre at some point, but I wonder if we will since his original card already has an Epic point cost? | |

| Ryld Algith would be sweet, I just read his bio in Dragon Magazine 311 or 312...He is
actually a level or two higher than 15, but 15 seems good enough. He should have a
ranged attack, he has a magical bow, after all. The rest of the stats seem very nice Dave. [:)] | |

| First, just to get my contractually obligated response out of the way: Epic Celestial Pegasus!!
Okay, done. Really, I think Ryld's a likely candidate. And considering he's also playable in CG, I wouldn't mind it one bit. He's close to my ideal commander as is, a push to Epic would probably make me field him in that format more often. | |

| Better Ryld than Drizzt (hard to choose between two drow--Ryld is the lesser of the two fanboy evils)[:P]
I would certainly hope that even though there are plans to release more Underdark/War Drums epic cards they would wait a bit until after some older (highly desirable) epic cards are released. Just my two cents [:D] | |

I like Alusair and an epic version of her would be cool, but she's only level 10 on the RPG side of her card. A 3 level difference doesn't seem like it would warrant epic stats, but maybe I'm wrong.
I'm rather hoping for Ryld, he's one of my favorite minis. | |

Another idea might be to give Alusair Obarskyr an epic version with two PDK minions - now that would rock! | |

| | Or give her a special ability that would help out Purple Dragon Knights. Something like what the Deep Dragon has for Drow. It would be nice if they acquired 15-20 extra HP's at the start of the match if they set up next to her, or something along those lines. Or even something else. I'd love to see more use out of the Purple Dragon Knight..its a good unit. It just needs just a bit more, and it'd be great. | |

| Wow, nice to see I am not the only PDK fan still around these days... More on an unlikely matter: maybe Epic Alusair could have something like:
Devotion: allied PDKs that setup next to this character gain FEARLESS.
I'd still much rather see an epic PDK, though, since Alusair really is not an epic character. And should they make her one, please give her some really competitive stats. | |

I was sure that with all the talk, Obould would have been Epic instead of...say the Dragon Totem Hero since he is unique and quite well-known. | |
