I haven't really seen any kind of thread for the kinds of card games people will be playing at PAX. This is my third year, so I already understand about the WotC buy-in games and some of the small stuff on the show floor. That's now what I want.
My buddy and I have been getting some WoW TCG cards recently, splitting booster boxes, and part of my appeal to start collecting for the game was RAID DECKS. A big part of my childhood was birthday parties with friends when we all played Magic, and we would do big games of 3v3 or that kind of thing. Now, being that it's just the two of us that play, we haven't been able to play with a group for a raid deck yet, and this makes me sad face.
That being said, in my previous PAXing, I didn't check out the board/card game building a whole lot. So for all I know, everyone is playing raid decks all the time during PAX, or maybe nobody plays and this will get some games going for us.
So, is there raid decking for us to enjoy? Do you have a raid deck that you'd like to run for a group to play with? My friend and I would like to raid your deck, so let's make a plan.

Is Cryptozoic a forumer? And I assume they have a WoW TCG booth on the floor somewhere, but they probably only do tutorial-type games to show people how to play?
There are brief details found on http://forums.wowtcg.com/showthread.php?t=271
Specifically, Cryptozoic Employee Ben Hameem posted on 8/13:
"We've been holding off [until] the release of the main PAX schedule so we could adjust ours if needed to make the timing perfect. If it doesn't get released by the beginning of the week we'll push out the Cryptozoic schedule.
We will have both a booth in the exhibit hall, and a big area in the gaming area. Tournaments will run from noon until midnight, with a big event at 7pm on Friday and Saturday. We'll also be running League and Landro's Wheel again. "
Well, now that the PAX schedule is out, I'd expect some sort of formal announcement to come from Cryptozoic about their WoWTCG activities in the coming days.
As far as other card games, e.g. Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, The Spoils, etc., to my knowledge there are no other structured, sanctioned card game tournaments. I would highly recommend using the Looking For Group methods to find non-sanctioned, pickup games:
1) We'll have a whiteboard in the Tabletop HQ, where you'll be able to write "LFG Pokemon TCG, im Room 302 - send text to 555-5555" or
2) via twitter, tweet a message like "LFG Pokemon TCG, in Room 302 #ttlfg"
3) Walk into any of the Tabletop Freeplay rooms and set up shop with your cards at a table! Strike up conversations with others, bring some extra decks, and invite them to play!
We'll have signs reminding people to search for the #ttlfg hashtag in Twitter to find open games, and we'll be encouraging people to utilize these methods to find like-minded players and get their game on.

Wow...thanks for all the great info Lackey!
This is why I ask questions, because there is always someone out there who knows way more about it than me. I guess I'll just be roaming tabletop a lot more this year and asking questions at the Crypto booth.
Little more than two weeks....
Also, I feel the table top rooms can be more fun than going to the "scheduled" events. Playing one or two games with people lets you get to know people better than just wandering the halls or sitting next to people at panels.
But then, I'm slightly biased, being a regular of the local board game group at Gamma Ray Games.

Just because we're arrogant, doesn't mean we're (completely) evil.

Pokemon....hrm, I need something a little more flavored than my current theme deck. *Will need to hit the card shop tonight.*
What makes you think you will get a break?

I'll have to actively seek you out for a round, game sounds pretty heavy.
Stop by TT HQ in room 213. We will do what we can to help you find an instructor.

O, mighty Taskmaster, I must have been mistaken! It was foolish for me to imply. I.. don't know what came over me-- Please! No! Not again! I beseech thee! The scars are only just now healing...

It's not the raid decking I'm interested in, but I may participate in a couple of those for some new cards a little tournament play.
"you can pick up a Class Starter Deck for $5 with the PAX coupon or combo out with a Class Starter Deck and Archives pack for $10. Considering the Class Starter is normally $10.99 and Archives packs are $5.99, that's massive savings and both products have the best Loot cards from the past three years."
What is this PAX coupon? How do I get it, or do I just get it for being part of pax? Could someone knowledged, fill me in please? Also saw that if you purchase a class starter deck, sign up for the league and pay 10 bucks you get a playing mat. Anyone able to touch on the league as well? Is that something I'd have to be at pax all day every day for? Spectral Tiger playmat. SQUEEEE!
Thank you Sarah! I am all over/looking forward to this. I assume this coupon will probably be in the annual grab-bag (usually stickers, buttons, t-shirt, junk, etc and everyone gets one). WE MUST FIND THE COUPONZ.
So looking forward to confusing some poor guy/girl in attempting to explain how to play to me. Mwahaha. Victory is mine!
Grab bags? Where do we get said annual bags? What am I... new?... One would think so. First time goin all three days though anyway. Booyeah!

Tango down, Kilo147 out.
Goodie bags are handed out in the line before the convention starts.
It's in the Hidden Level. Basically you get a free spin just for going, which gets you a tcg loot card, with a scratch-off code that's redeemable in-game for an item.
Some cards are trinkets like fireworks or pets, some are mounts, etc.
I also play wow, religiously. I pretty much eat sleep hit the gym and play wow until wash rinse repeat. lol. I thought I knew how to play but, there's a LOT of loopholes still, so yeah. time to fix that!
I will be runnin around in full color, and totin around my windrider plushie. Chances are i'll be alone or be stuck with two duders.
Didn't get any awesome loot cards, maybe the sandbox tiger was cool.
