Today I picked up a Dark Portal starter of the World of Warcraft card game. I’ve seen it in action for some time and it looks quite interesting. I’m usually a sucker for a fun CCG and after picking up some new Magic cards I thought I’d give WoW a shot.
I’m one of the few people in the world who has never played WoW but that’s a topic for another time. The card game gives me a chance to play WoW…in a way. Thumbing through the rulebook has the rules reading like most CCGs these days. With a one on one demo from a nice person at Battleground I’m sure to catch on quickly.
For the rest of the world below is my starting deck along with the 2 boosters included in my starter box. I’m sure there will be many opinions on how good my starting, pre-constructed, deck is. I’m eager to hear them all. I’m especially interested in what sets people like best and will work best with what I have so far.
