The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game was released in October of 2006 by Upper Deck Entertainment.

Unlike most card games, Upper Deck Entertainment is working with Blizzard to have some facets of the card game influence cosmetic aspects of the MMORPG by having cards with special codes that alter an online character's look in some way.

Unlike most TCGs, the game focuses quite a bit on multiplayer. Upperdeck has already released their first two raid decks featuring Onyxia, the black dragon, and Ragnaros, the Firelord. Raid decks are meant to be tackled by three to five players.

Loot Cards

The TCG currently offers "legendary" loot cards. These cards are special versions of the normal card, however, they have a scratch off bar which contains a long hexadecimal code. These cards are entered on the Blizzard web site which converts them to a similar code that is specific to the realm of your choice. You then use the code with Landro Longshot, a vendor in Booty Bay, to obtain the item. The codes are single-use, so you get one item on one character on one server for each loot card code you get. You do not get the item on all your characters, unlike the collector's edition pets. If you are having trouble with your loot cards, check out the loot card walk-through.

These loot cards are divided into three categories:

  • Common - Common loot card, which is now usually a consumable item.
  • Rare - A rare loot card.
  • Very rare - A very rare loot card.

For more Information: See Loot Cards.

UDE Points

When you have collected a certain amount of points you will be able to use them to "buy" in-game items.

In addition to these items, sometimes you can get DC action figures, play mats, discounts, etc.
