5.0 out of 5 stars
It's a Wonderful Start, January 14, 2007
I've played Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and a few lesser TCG's, and I must admit that this game may be the best planned one I have seen. At first glance, everything seems generic with really simple rules, but once you begin to look deeper you'll see genious strategies galore.
Albeit, much of the combat is based on direct damage from allies there are ways of combining attacks or completely devasting the opponent. Similar to Magic, every class has the bonuses and negatives. Similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, players may choose their targets or (different) go straight for the hero. With many allies possessing unique spells, there are countless strategies; however, the game usually ends up relying on the theory "who can get the most creatures into play first?"
As future expansions are released, more strategies will be introduced. Though the series at this point may not be as complex as Magic the Gathering, it is a warm welcome to any new coming gamer as the first series is less likely to possess strategies that can devastate players within the first 5 turns.
Players will find cards that relate directly to the game including quests, heroes, and even some pop culture references like Leeroy Jenkins. Each card has unique artwork with a broad range of styles. Though some of the styles do not fit in with the overall scope of the series, the differences add character to an otherwise beautiful base set.

Dont buy simply for the loot cards, August 16, 2008
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
I purchased this for the chance at finding a rare loot card for the World of Warcraft online game. Only later did I find out there is only a 1 in 480 chance of receiving one, meaning I need to purchase 10 boxes.
If you are after the loot cards, purchase the older versions. At least they gave pet biscuits.
For the card game, the product is great. Wonderful graphics, packaged well, diverse set of cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars
My fellow CCG Players, February 11, 2009
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
I have played. Magic the Gathering,Pokemon and other C.C.G.'S. Back since warcraft 2 the computer game. I looked at a friend of mine and said to him (wouldn't it be nice if this was a card game) and bam I got it. The U.S. isn't so hot right now money wise, and warcraft compared to Magic The Gathering is 10 times cheaper. Also my counterpoint to the customer who gave a 1 star to this set Magic has 10 times the amount of unbalance than Warcraft does. Power nine anyone? Restricted and banned list continue forever and a day In Magic. Plus this was the first set in the game. So some mistakes will be made before they can be corrected. Warcraft has replaced Magic in my mind plus it offers variety of choices your not just a wizard like you are in Magic. You can be a warrior, shaman, or a warlock choice is important something for everyone type of playing style.
Thanks Orcgrunt
