For all those who had heard earlier about the introduction of an Upper Deck World of Warcaft card game, there has been a lot of new information posted! Take a look right here to see what Cory Jones Director of Brand and New Product Development for Upper Deck has to say about the excitinf new game!

The game system itself has various options of play one of which Jones went into specific detail on; Raids. A player will be able to purchase a 60 card, preconstructed Raid deck which they would then use to "host" a Raid for a group of friends. Players would build their character decks with the realization they'll be going into a Raid and the need to work together as a team, much like Raids in the online version of World of Warcraft. The Raid deck player would play say...Onyxia, an example given by Jones. At the end, if the players win against Onyxia they get to open the special gold treasure chest pack (part of the Raid deck kit) containing their loot cards. Aside from the interesting aspects of roleplaying this type of game play brings, some cards will be unique to the Raid decks making players more interested in trying them. Raid decks are treated as a variant type of play and will also be used for special organized tournaments. This type of play really lends itself to organized-play; expect special organized-play tournaments wherein Upper Deck officials will play Raid decks against players in a tournament format. This is not to say that there won't be other standard versions of organized play where players go one on one.
