Hearthstone- WoW?

At first I was disappointed to hear that Blizzard's next game would be a Free to Play collectible card game called Hearthstone. But then I watched the announcement video and changed my tune. Take a look:

I'm a big fan of Magic and YuGiOh. The order I've only played on iPad and he latter is dead for all intents and purposes.

Hearthstone looks like it uses a lot fom Magic, but adds in some fun rules and class decks. I also really enjoyed the animations and voices.

I think this could be a fun, free game for alttabme. It will launch on PC and Mac and then iPad right after. I would love having tourneys and stuff.

As a side note, any of you play Duels of the Planeswalkers?

Sounds awesome

I've played Duels of the Planeswalkers but didn't care for it. My favorite part of Magic is deck building and Duels is extremely limiting (unless something changed, I haven't been following it).

Ugh. I was a little bummed when me and Oliver arrived a little late to PAX since the Blizzard announcement was first thing Friday Morning. Then I heard what it was..... More than 50% of people walked out on the panel. From what I've heard from people that played the demo and went to the panel, it's incredibly numbed down to what people expect from CCG's, and be sure to expect stupidly priced boosters on their online store.

/agree

The lack of deck building is the bad part of DotP. I spent HOURS pouring over my cards and refining my deck when I played YuGiOh. DotP scratches my itch, but it certainly isn't as fulfilling as it could be.
