    I love magic online and duels of the planeswalkers so ill give this a shot. And it's disappointing to see people that honestly seem to think that something shouldn't exist just because it doesn't interest them.

    I'm still waiting for the punchline, but I'm not sure it is actually coming...

    I would consider this an expansion on WoW if they include loot cards at all. Certainly seems like a sequel to the shitty real life TCG they have.


    But oh well, thats blizzard. Expect something decent and get shit on. I'm done posting here, Fatty out.
    This game can and probably will attract people that don't like RL Card Games. I don't like RL Card Games, but Hearthstone looks fun and interesting, so I'll probably give it a shot.

    Lawl, way to show the 7 year old playing it on the kiddie-tablet. Makes me really want to jump in.

    I expected something like these... but i feel dissapointed :S

    People who are dissapointed, well it's your own damn fault.

    It's PAX not blizzcon, they ain't revealing massive new game that blizzard has been working on, this is just a side game played for fun, nothing big.
    And if you expected something big, well then you will be dissapointed.

    In general it looks amazing, old WC style but also some WoW themed style.

    I love it!

    They keep using the word 'epic'. I don't know if they know what it means.

    Well ok, i expected it to be more like indie or fresh concept to be released when he talked about how they wanted to leave their Blockbuster Path with some smaller project. Its something that could work out since there is no real free to play, widely recognized Card game out there, but on the other hand, have a card in your hands and playing against friends is a bit different feeling and i dont know if it can be quite transfused into a online game. I will give it a shot though, since i really played a lot of MTG and this game is free to play if you want to, i kind of like the decisionif i spent money on a game or have the option to earn my progress for free.

    BUT

    I'm extremely excited it's not Blizzard Allstars!

    This game has me excited to play it and try it out. It's simple and humble and exactly what I need right now. Something you can play lightly, quickly and just go!

    Or, you can play in depth or heavily and just go at it.

    Being too busy for much of anything recently, games like this have become increasingly welcome.

    I find it interesting how they still have the Warcraft team labeled and active. I wonder how much/what they do?
    Can someone explain WTF Blizz-allstars is?

    It's funny how that's the only arguement you people can come up with against the mass of people who are against this kiddy game, Blizzard is a massive company and indie developers create better games.

    And ofc as usual they ignore Android.

    With how easy epics are to get in wow... I don't think so.

    I would like it more if it was a phone app game.

    Looks neato!
    I'm a big fan of fun casual little games like this, and I'm sure if anyone can make a top-notch one it's Blizzard.
