Ohhhhhh I see now.
This is what you do while waiting for the raid to start in World of Warcraft.
That said, I predicted tying in to WoW where you can get template cards (i.e. there would be 5 or so hero cards that are just "warlock" with different abilities) that you could then put your WoW character on and play as them. I still think some kind of tie-in like that would be really smart, but we'll see what happens.
Fuck mages.
I think that might be what I'm most butthurt about. I want to play a card game associated with the MMO I'm playing, and I'm not into WoW anymore. :P I really enjoyed the Everquest card game while playing everquest. God knows I have so many loot cards.
Huh. I was expecting them to take this opportunity to experiment with an auction house.

It also means your cards have no inherent value to anyone else besides you. So a gold farmer won't have incentive to hack your account DE all your cards and transfer the dust out to sell on some site or be able to fully build up a deck to sell to others without spending loads of cash.

Not playable in-game, but you can obviously alt-tab out, so close enough. Though figure out a way to implement it within WoW itself, and... yeah.
I gotta say, the more I learn about Fantasy Flight's LCG style, where a new pack comes out every month that includes all the cards in the set, it becomes a much more worthwhile setup for casual gamers. I hope this game follows that model; rather than random boosters, you buy expansion packs that include everything you need. I doubt it, though, because I don't know if that model is financially feasable for a FTP style game.
There's that, and also the fact that you'll get screwed by unlucky draws a lot less often. It's always a bummer in MtG matches when you or your opponent get stuck on 1 or 2 mana for the first five turns with perfectly legitimate decks, or the other way around and it's nothing but lands for the first five cards. The only real drawback is no interesting resource cards in themselves (I like that MTG lands can do some really cool stuff like turn into creatures), but I think the tradeoff is worth it for this game.
The whole time we were saying "man I wish we could play this online". Since all our friends are spread out as we get older and no one really wants to invest in and store tons of real-world cards.
I was so stoked when I saw the announcement. I got to actually play it (the line was moving fast) and it's a blast. High polish. They removed/simplified some things from the actual TCG but I had fun with it.

That TCG went away years ago.
No, it didn't. They just released the 2013 Class decks. I just bought the Worgen Warlock one.
Well, I'm wrong as shit.
I swore it got canceled.
I know they switched publishers from Upper Deck to Cryptowhosiwatsit. Maybe that's what you heard. Or maybe there was another one?
That's probably it. It probably went into limbo briefly as they switched publishers and I just assumed that meant it was dead.
I still see it at Walmart with the pokemon cards, but it's next to the Angry Birds erasers, so that never gives me a strong impression either way.
I'm actually realizing how sad I am that I got rid of my old WoW cards since I found my Molten Core raid deck last weekend while cleaning up and a bunch of old WoW buddies are coming over for International Tabletop Day
The raiding was their best idea, though I never did it.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they're focusing on 1v1 for this TCG, though. It really does seem to be something to do to kill the time while waiting on your real raid. :P
That is a story I want to read more about. But the only thing I've found so far is Upper Deck counterfeiting some other brand's cards.
Didn't Upper Deck also do The Spoils which also went south?
The WoW TCG Raid Deck also led to what is probably one of my favorite series of PA comics.
