So, have you guys noticed that each year seems to have an underlying theme? It's really interesting when you think about it.

Last year was the Year of the Kraken, and the theme was corruption. It was obvious in WoTOG, but not many people noticed - Kharazan had been corrupted by Malchezaar's influence, and to an extent Gadgetezan had been corrupted by all the crime syndicates.

This year has been Year of the Mammoth, and the theme has been unearthing ancient things. Again, it was obvious with Un'goro, but KoTFT brought back The Lich King and death knights into the spotlight after all these years of them being forgotten, and with the new Kobolds and Catacombs expansion, we're unearthing ancient treasures.

Anyone else see the patterns?

That's pretty interesting. Maybe you're pushing it a little with the KoTFT "bringing the lich king back into the spotlight", but I guess there are enough undead being unearthed to support that line anyways. 

I guess I'll watch out for what the next standard year is called more closely next time :)

I like the theory, I would be interested if you would be able to support it further by looking at past expansions! :)
