World of Warcraft TCG
World of Warcraft Trading Card Game is a collectible card game based on Blizzard Entertainment's online game World of Warcraft. Upper Deck Entertainment introduced it with Heroes of Azeroth on 25 October 2006. Mike Hummel, Brian Kibler, and Danny Mandel are credited with designing its game engine.[1][2]
Gameplay
Players build around an Alliance or Horde hero, using allies, abilities, and equipment to defeat the opposing hero. Quests serve as resources and can be completed for rewards.[1]

Cryptozoic Entertainment acquired the license in March 2010 and continued publishing the game. In August 2013, Blizzard announced that the line's 21st set, Timewalkers: Reign of Fire, would be its last and that official tournaments would end.[3][4]
