Seems like Ascension, which isn't a bad thing

I'm guessing cards aren't free. What's the price model?

They said about $1 a pack but you can earn free packs by playing.

Obviously this seems like it was designed specifically with me in mind, so I'm excited for it but I can see where other people might not be

I'm not paying for cards, but if they're unlockable I might give it a try.

heavily inspired by the phenomenal WOWTCG from the video and gameplay seen, can't wait to get into the beta.

in all seriousness,i don't understand this,there is already a world of warcraft trading card game,

what's the point of having another one? might as well made an implementation of the current one

There's a lot about the WOWTCG card game (which I have played for years) that doesn't translate well into the kind of experience they are looking to deliver here. It's clear that they used the existing card game as a base for the ruleset and design (class-based decks, some of the keywords are the same, etc.) but being digital means they aren't slaved to questionable decisions that the card game makers might make in the future/have already made.

And believe me UDE/Crypto has had some card designs that would not have been made by Blizzard. Having independence from the physical product here is important.

is there a way for me to get some info about this that doesn't involve some random guy talking for 5 minute?

I didn't try Shadow Era, but yes they clearly took cues from WOWTCG.

As long as I don't have to read/post the nonsense on Hot Dog Bar, this place is more than a reasonable read.

I think it looks great, but like all these kinds of games it depends on how heavy the IAP is on whether I play it or not.

I've played more deckbuilder games than Collectibles, but just as a reference point for the lazy and uninitiated, this is more like Magic, right? Triumph's comment up above threw me off a little, as I'd rather play something like Ascension as opposed to Magic. That is particularly true if it's handled more like Magic the Gathering Online and less like Duel of the Planeswalkers, of which I prefer the latter.

I figured it would be a card game. I haven't actually played many of the vidya card games even though I tend to like the rpg forms of them.

EDIT: Battle.net says i already have an account even though i don't remember ever making one (although i guess this explain all those mail about my diablo 3 account getting stolen!!1!) what i'm supposed to do now?
