Me and some friends went out and got some packs in hopes of getting codes for the MMO. We unfortunately didn't get any (they are pretty rare), but we sat down and tried the game out. Now, I am a dedicated magic player with years of experience and thousands of cards and frankly I had more fun with WoW then I ever did with Magic. The game play is much faster paced and far more exciting. Team play is easier to do as many cards take into account games where more then 2 people are playing. IMHO, Wizards of the Coast could be in serious trouble.

Pros:
-Fast gameplay
-Great team play
-Most Heroes are balanced, some need work (Feral Druids/Shadow Priests)
-Resources: MUCH better then Land
-Amazingly Fun
-Huge number of unimplemented features

Cons:
-Non-MMO players won't appreciate some of the cards as much
-Many restrictions on who can use cards
-Huge number of unimplemented features
-Only 300-400 cards so far

Overall this is a great alternative to Magic, and I highly recommend it.

The artwork on these things are amazing, I've never even played the game before, and I love this artwork, I can look at it for hours. This is some of the most amazing works I've seen in a long time.

As a huge magic AND a huge WoW fan, I looked all over for this game thinking it would be the best of both worlds...unfortunately, it's the worst of both.

Beware the HUGE imbalance of hero cards/decks in this game. It's obvious that the game was not properly put through its paces before it was run out the door. Upper Deck should be ashamed of the poor play-balancing.

Outside of that complaint (which makes the game itself useless), the art is so-so compared to other CCGs and the rule-book absolutely ABYSMAL.

Do yourself a favor and purchase a properly put-together CCG (I don't care which one you choose, just choose something other than Heroes of Azeroth).
