Hearthstone: Heroes of WarCraft (By Blizzard Entertainement)

I love the fact they went ahead and gave tribute to MTG, then went and ripped it off completely. Magic the gathering cards game is still alive IMO with new expansions like dragon's maze and the upcoming theros spoilers, i think MTG will be just fine. Why not work with WoTC and create the ultimate MTGO system, because MTGO is lacking in service and blizzard is pretty damn good when it comes to make online games.

I can pretty much tell you everything about this game so just pm me if u dont feel like googling.

Guys don't dismiss or sleep on this. I'm a regular over at the official forum and the community is already digging deep into this game and goes into beta this summer. It's not just another card game, ive played tournament MTG as well as shadow era and this is gonna be one of the best. The style is the definition of simple to learn hard to master and it will be very Competetive. Blizzard is pretty much the biggest studio there is, this ain't rage of Buhamat lol!

The pricing model is free to play, and u get a starter deck. From there you buy boosters like every other card game. Boosters will be 5 cards for around a buck. You can also get boosters just from playing matches so you can get ur collection totally free if you spend the time. No trading between players wich is good because it won't turn into an auction house simulator with bots running around.

The best feature is the forge. It's like drafting in mtg, you pay 3 boosters to enter. Once inside u build a deck of 30 cards from random choices given to u 3 at a time. So u get presented w 3 cards, u pick one, then repeat til u have 30. Deckbuilding skills will be the key. U get bonus packs after the 5th win and u play til u lose 3 times, with pack bonuses at win intervals. It's going to be an amazing limited draft format, rivaling mtg.

There's just nothing not to love, plus with the blizzard name this will be incredibly popular and have a great Competetive scene.

Still reeling from the whole Diablo III fiasco.

I will get this and I imagine I'll buy some boosters as well (as long as they are priced reasonably). Must admit I am disappointed to hear there is no player market though.

Trading is like a whole new meta game. Look at Urban Rivals and to some extent Blood Brothers, shows that done right a player market can and does work.
