WoW TCG

[mightbe]

Any of you slackers competitive WoW TCG players?

I'll be competing in Paris (http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/organizedplay/tournament/worlds/default.aspx) here in two weeks and I'm looking for folks to test with or talk metagame.

Testing on MWS (http://www.magicworkstation.com) of course.

Apparently, no one else plays, Rob.

I mean, I have a friend IRL that plays, but he doesn't frequent these forums. Heh. :D

I have I think the original and first two expansions (Fires and Legion, I think) and my buddy and I will occasionally play, but that's about it. No one around here plays at all and while I could probably hunt down a local comic shop that might be holding games, I'm not that keen on social interaction.

Fun game though and good luck in Paris!

Paris, eh? Nice! I've tried playing a few games with nnanji and it was fun. I do like buying the cards though because the artwork is phenom and, of course, I'm always hoping for an in-game item or two. ;)

If I knew anyone that played, I definitely would try it out, but I don't, so I haven't.

I own some starter sets and never opened them. Nothing against it just never had the chance yet.

I got the free starter with the BC xpac, but have never used it. Never really been into CCGs much. Tired Magic, and the D&D CCG, but neither hooked me.

The only TCG I ever played (and enjoyed) was Yu-Gi-Oh.
I kicked ass.
But I stopped because all my friends did. :(

A few friends and I played until shortly after Dark Portal stuff came out.

We had a tonne of fun playing it casually but just kinda stopped playing after a while.

One friend and I went and played in the regionals before Dark Portal came out and I couldn't believe the number of elitist wankers there which turned me off ever playing competitive TCGs again.

I hate any game where more money = better deck. Any TCG falls victim to this. In my opinion, these are very poorly designed games. I fear the WoW minis game is going to be the same thing. Great mechanics, but when the person with the most cash to spend on cards/minis will win nearly every time, you have failed as a game designer.

My worlds deck this year can be put together for about 35$ on ebay.

Just because a game is collectible doesn't mean you should be a moron and buy retail.

If you're going to buy retail packaging, at least buy in bulk, you'll save 40%+

Anyone who's actually interested in playing, you can play the card game online and for free.

Yup. You read that right.

Thank you for just getting me back into the game.

No problem! Check the tournament reports from the WoW TCG site (http://www.ude.com/wow) for the Top 8 deck lists from major tournaments.

I'm confused by the link though, so many different files to download, what do I need to just play right now?

[mightbe]

Err, sorry. Just the 4.0 Full version plus MWS will give you everything that's out currently.

Download MWS here (http://www.magicworkstation.com/downloads.php).
