More Mount info

From Pegasus Knight: (see link to report below):
There will be a DDM set that adds customizable mount rules; various figures can hop on mounts provided by that set. This is not new. What IS new is that Shoe answered a few questions on the side about it the next day, including this paraphrased info:

"Old creatures that would be suitable as mounts will not receive updated rules/cards for this purpose."

For example, the Deathknell Griffon, Angelfire Celestial Pegasus, and Blood War Arcadian Hippogriff will probably not receive updates for these rules, despite being considered suitable choices for mounts. Shoe's reasoning was that this would require a lot of development effort that could be better used going forward with other things, since Shoe said reworking old 'likely mounts' would require issuing entirely new cards for them. I happen to agree with that assessment; better to focus on the new since that would open up a huge can of worms.
