The Grand Tournament will introduce 132 new cards to the game along with a brand new minion power, dubbed Inspire. We caught up with WoW cataclysm Gold art director Ben Thompson to talk about the process behind creating artwork to accompany the brand new card and what players can anticipate when they play the new game.

"As as with all adventures and expansions the [The Grand Tournament] is coming with a brand new board that will enhance the experience that the tournament offers and make it more real beyond what the cards could," Thompson said.

"There's the latest clickables available on each corner. This includes the archery stand located in the lower-right corner. there's your food tent on the left side, because whenever you're in the tournament, you'll be in the food tent, that you need to visit to find your food. The crowd is to the right corner that can be a mix of reactions, and some involve gameplay. Then in the upper left corner is the knight's tent in which they can get ready ahead for their next event. There's a bit of snow, since it's Northrend. However, this is our version of Northrend where spring is here and there are flowers and everything associated with it.

"With the archery that's down there you'll be able to test your skill by achieving the bulls-eye. It's fun when you shoot a bulls-eye, or even better. Your target dummy is there also as the ability to make a dent at him. Sometimes, arrows get lost and could cause damage as well. The food tents don't only provide pies, but also additional food to be consumed. The crowd on the upper left corner is my favorite, simply because it's the first time, they're involved with games They commiserate with you when you're hit with a lot of damage. They also cheer you on when you take lots of damage.

If you are able to hit an amount that is a specific number on an individual, they begin making their point and then judging the player on how great your hit was. On the right side, there's the enjoyable weathervane... It is possible to start playing around with things like banners, flags and other stuff. From small to huge and everything clickable is available to interact with, such as the roasting ham on the lower left. "Be be careful not to allow it to burn!"

"This is an weapon card that you'll be able to gift an item to the hero. Every time we create weapon cards, we make sure to make it clear that the card needs to be a card that reads clearly to be a singular weapon that is not focusing on the person that holds it, or the magic that is associated with it. Instead, we need to know the distinction between daggers and axes, and other things. It is obvious which is poisoned. It's like a small dagger, which is probably similar to a rogue's use. Usually, items cards can be more difficult for artists due to the fact that they do not have the personality behind them, and the various armour and such.

"It's difficult to convince the artist to create an object in a manner that is interesting and compelling but still retains the WoW Cataclysm Classic feel. In this instance, I think they've done a fantastic job and it's imposing and still feels like WoW Cataclysm Classic, which is fun and has big tiny forms.

"Some of the weapons in this game are based on WoW Cataclysm Classic existing items If you take a look at Doomhammer it's an well-known weapon. We desire it to be exactly like it, but perhaps our own variant of it. Sometimes, we'll give the artist an assortment of references to different blades similar to this to help them gain an idea of the general feel."

"This can be a persona who has a connection to a character, not just on the screen in buy Cataclysm Classic Gold but WoW Cataclysm Classic too. If you are thinking of Lord Jaraxxus the character who is introduced in Warlock decks. Warlock decks, it replaces your hero with 15 points of health is added and it alters the power of your hero and everything else that goes with it.
