Card List
As the name suggests, this set is set after the reopening of the dark portal. As such, many new Draenei heroes and allies are found amongst the Alliance, and new Blood elf heroes and allies are found amongst the Horde. Quests and items from Outland are also first featured in this set. However, there is no strict focus on the Burning Crusade-era, and the vast majority of allies, quests and items are still from Azeroth.
