As I have said elsewhere, the release date is hinging on the plastic trays arriving by boat.
Wild speculation: this suggests the plastic tray is somehow different from that used by other Dominion sets/expansions?
It's the Dark Ages tray. There is incentive not to make new ones.
Ooh so there's a 20 card pile to go in the Rats slot
Either that, or there was some incentive not to make a new tray. Hard to know if that's the case though.
Oh, I know this one. It actually
is the case because DXV said so just above there.
There is also possibly a reason to use the Dark Ages one specifically. It is also possible that this was a less-than-100%-serious prediction made for fun.
