One of the features I would like to see in Shadow Era went it's ready is Drafting.

For Beta I completely understand the need to get the game engine down, and I'm excited to play constructed decks. But one of the coolest things about TCGs is the ability for a "limited" format and drafting.

With TCGs there is a rarity system in place, so when you buy a pack there will be 1 hero, 10 commons, 3 uncommons and 1 rare or epic.

My first blog will be about Engulfing flames. I'd really like to valuate the card but without having played the game that is a little difficult out of context, so I'll break down what we do know about the card and the game so far.

I have never played the WOW TCG or even Magic: The Gathering, or anything for that matter. I hope that I still will be useful in the upcoming beta.
