another company has since bought the rights to do WOW

IS it fun to play, yes as you have the usual array of cards and rarity. Instead of colors like magic, you have class types such as shaman, paladin, warrior, druid and such. ( 9 or 10 classes you can play )

Another mechanic is that you your some cards require cards to be in your deck.

you could probably find sealed product online on ebay or at game shops/comic stores.

If your new and plannin to invest, try and buy the booster boxes or limited sized lots on ebay.

Thanks,

WeedIan: Jazaray is like MOTL's Mom.

I'd like to get into a game i can play casually and not feel i have to be competitive (which i'm stuck at with magic)

Also, raids are incredibly fun.

I'm a crytozoic (the company that now owns/makes the game) volunteer and judge and will gladly give you the rundown if you want.

It seemed like they tried to copy MTG in many ways.

Also, it seemed like the innovative aspects of the game that set it apart from MTG, WotC just basically copied them and "one-upped" them.

I recall that there were cards you would use that acted like an Avatar... and I'd say the Planeswalkers of MTG really stole their gusto there.

They had "loot" cards and a sort of mega-rare rarity, which MTG then started making "Mythics"

Even the whole raid thing that seemed kind of cool, it seemed like MTG came out with PlaceChase and ArchEnemy, and quite a few other things like that to sort of take the game off on other tangents besides the normal ways to play.

So, all in all, IIRC the prices/values of most cards/sets/sealed product just went spiraling downward.

Many CCG's (some really decent, others not so much) have come and gone and yet MTG remains king!

It seems like every few years some game tries to knock the king off of the mountain, so far, all have failed.

Pokemon, StarWars, WoW, YuGiOh, LordOfTheRings, etc, etc.

Rarity has always been based on the online game : White (common), Green (uncommon), Blue (rare), Purple (epic).

Every deck is based off of your Hero. All heroes (minus 4) are uncommons and thus worth very little. Your hero decides your life total (from like 25-32 depending on the class) and decides what kind of cards you can play in your deck. They are not like planeswalkers.
