Being an avid MTG fan, this one is top priority for me! Can't wait!
It appears to me that is almost a carbon copy of MtG apart from instead of land your mana goes up each turn. So effectively it is MtG when you draw a land AND a spell every turn.
The constant comparisons to MtG was weird too...
I also feel as though it is a money grab aimed at WoW players as every single one of my WoW friends was messaging me because they know I like TCG saying "It is going to be the best TCG etc", and rattling off the constant WoW references to me.
These are all just my opinions though and sorry for being a neggy nelly but I have played so many TCGs in my time and this one is certainly nothing to call home about.

I don't think this is aimed at WoW players at all. As Pardo said during the announcement, this is a genre/market they've left untouched, and feels they could easily achieve typical Blizzard dominance over it. Honestly, it's primarily aimed at the CCG players, just like how StarCraft is aimed at RTS players. But by wrapping it in the WarCraft franchise, it makes it tremendously accessible to newcomers. They'll attract a large portion of the Blizzard fanbase in general, not just WoW players. You have to keep in mind, WarCraft came long before StarCraft & WoW. If you're a fan of any Blizzard game, there's a good chance it originated with WarCraft.
I'm pretty happy about this, I don't think anyone was expecting a big game and they've been looking to push into the mobile market for a while.
I'm glad it's a card game, I just hope it's good and gameplay is not completely reliant on micro-transactions to have fun, although they will surely be a factor.

True, I have WoW TCG games and play a bit, the WoW TCG is unique in a way that I kinda hope this will be (Your hero is the main life total and you can equip him / her with items and have allies etc.)
