    It would be much more of a win, if the game would be implemented within wow as a minigame.

    Uninteresting, dull, uninventive.

    This isn't what Blizzard wants, this is what Activision wants. They see the Freemium market and they want in on it.

    When waiting to hear about announcements i normally A- Have already see spoilers for it B- i had to clue

    So ill be going with B atm and for someone like me who has a small passion for WoWtcg this looks to be a promising game.

    When it comes to haters, don't hate until you try it out. Otherwise you're just a hippocratic bashing a tablet game.

    This was the first news I read when I woke up today. My first thought was "It's not April 1st already is it?!" I then checked the date. Nope, it's not.

    I'm actually excited about, reminds me of the good old days back when I played Pokemon, Yugioh, and Magic. As for it being "overhyped" I agree with the previous posters, it's only overhyped if you took their press release as a "big" announcement. They said it would be small, and with a 15-man development team I'd say that fits the bill.

    you know what I think? I think this looks pretty amazing. I remember back in the days playing Yu-Gi-Oh with my friends. It was such a great time. Really can't wait to get my hands on this.

    Lot of enraged people. I wasn't really expecting anything that will change the fate of gaming or anything. So it's a card game big whoop. It will not hurt your guys egos.

    WTF is this?LOL, magic the gathering warcraft style ?Thats it??? Real?
  1. Hubbl3's Avatar
    Looks really great. I enjoyed some games of YuGiOH and Magic. So I will take a look.

    I hate these kind of games.
    it makes sense for Blizzard though to test the waters of F2P and casual tablet gaming.

    It certainly looks lilke it will be of typical high Blizzard quality.

    I understand that people feel it's a big disappointment, since people expected something big (as in Titan, or a new expansion). But honestly, this looks pretty awesome! The game they showed on the stream looked fun, so I'll be sure to try it.
    Also, to the people who didn't watch, it was said that it's completely Free to Play, but that people who spend money on it will get cards faster, that's it. No unfair advantages since in the end, it doesn't matter wether you spend money on it or not, you can still play on the same level as others (think LoL, it's pretty much the same F2P model).

    Great job, Blizzard. I'm looking forward to this.

    Pretty much this, so many ppl how isnt even playing a blizzard game anymore hanging around hating here it's beyond sad lol

    OT: I hope the game play turns out good and balanced after beta, I will be playing it.

    I was kinda expecting more info on allstars but this is cool aswell, don't get all the hate as it was clear it wouldn't be a big thing and I'll probably try it out as it's free to play and I like card games.
