After hearing about the collectible card game for months now, including even some artwork displayed on Penny Arcade, Blizzard has announced the launch of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game.
Now you may be thinking, “What exactly makes this different from all the other card games out there?” Well Blizzard, not wanting you to forget that the card game’s content is actually from a computer game, has integrated special items in the World of Warcraft MMO which are obtainable only by finding the particular card in real life. For example:
Finding in the real world gets you
in game.
Additionally, each booster pack comes with 100 UDE points, which may be used online at the World of Warcraft TCG website to unlock other unique in-game items not found on rare cards.
Since WoW was able to bring my wife even further into the seedy world of gaming, perhaps the WoW card game will also pique her interest in the world of CCG’s.
Anyone know the drop rate on these yet?
Kill O’Saurus
Night Elf Hunter
Kael’Thas Realm

From what I’ve seen, the drop rate is a bit more common than one in every 500 booster packs, closer to one in every 250 booster packs. For information on other in-game rewards, you can check out my blog here:
