So OK, those of you who know me, know I HATE W.o.W. the online game. A deadbeat roommate who won't go get a job and just plays that stupid game all day kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
So now Upper Deck comes out with a new game based on it. We get starters and boosters in at my work, so I pick up one. It uses sort of a Magic/Duelmaster/Vs. type system of play.
Pretty basic game. Definitely flaws. Like the fact your hero does NOT have any base strength so when he gets attacked, he just bends over and takes it up the ass. But what peeked my interest is the fact that there are something like 6 million W.o.W. players in the world. And there are super rare chase rares that you can use to get online content. So as I figured, some of these rares (there's 3 levels of rares) and online Ultra rares (which come with a scratch off box with a code underneath) are going for a LOT of money on ebay. I've seen a couple cards going for nearly $100.
So I was just wondering if anyone here has picked up some of the cards? Have cards for trade? 2 Cents on the way the game plays? What have you...

Well, I play WoW, Deffinately not nearly as much as a deadbeat room mate, But a few hours a week. I find the game to be the highest quality MMO out there, As I have played these types of games for a good amount of years.
I myself would love to get ahold of some of these cards (Unscratched) And would be willing to trade rawdeal cards for them. So, If anyone gets them, Keep me in mind.

2c on how WoW TCG plays huh? well, it's like M:TG with a little bit of Vs and a pinch of RD for good measure. Basically if you know how to play Magic, you'll pick up WoW easily. The gameplay's quite good, and unlike some games where if one player gets on a roll he can basically coast to victory, there is a lot more room for a comeback in WoW. Example, my first game was against a YuGiOh player with a pair of starters. He had a Warlock, and I had a Shaman. His guys were bigger than mine, and he kept my board pretty clear and forced me to basically tread water and keep my health as high as possible (Shamans have a couple of baasic heal abilities), but screwed up when he played a guy that needs a discard at the start of turn to retain control, and for some odd reason he played out all the cards in his hand. After that I basically steamrolled him with his own creature.

World of Warcraft, it's a online Mass Multiplayer online game, and now they have made it a Trading card game which is really fun.
