Is the cards tradable is all I want to know.

US and A

Can't be sure of the possibility but it doesn't seem to have any option to trade cards. Seriously i have no other friends playing Hearthstone to confirm this.

It's a CCG (Collectible Card Game), not a TCG (Trading Card Game). So as far as I know, there's no trading possible.

no trading, you craft the cards you want...however, scrolls is a ccg too but can trade / sell cards with in game gold =D

if cards is tradable bliz will surely make auction house too. imagine all those rare cards selling for 250usd hehe

I so want to play this game after seeing so many videos online.....

so far sea regions got beta keys yet?

IINM, SEA region is eligible for the beta opt-in but not the Facebook sweepstake so I guess the answer should be yes.

To be honest, the term CCG & TCG doesn't hold much difference these days as they're more or less the same now. Since it's Blizzard that we're speaking of here, there's a big chance that they'll want to monetize the entire experience like what they've did to Diablo 3.

Pay $$$ new decks...

The decks currently are vanilla only.

Later expansion pack more $$$

i think d3 failed is due to jay wilson, after moving him away from d3 they admitted AH was a huge mistake on their part.

anyways paying for cards is quite normal imo, they need to earn some money to further develop the game esp when this is a f2p game?

I don't know about you guys but I think Blizz is putting themselves in a contradicting position.

On one hand, they're marketing Hearthstone as a quick-simple-to-grasp card game that leans away from all the complexity shared by their TCG/CCG brethren such as MtG.

On the other hand, it's very clear that the only logical path to have the game continuously developed & maintained is to charge consumers for newly released cards (unless they come up with some unique kind of subscription) which will inadvertently introduce new mechanics & meta into the game. This usually spell disaster for newcomers who picked up the game late as they'll have quite a lot of info to learn before they can confidently jump into the game.

They can always defer new mechanics to TBC expansions and above, and keep vanilla accessible to newcomers.

I remembers new generation of MtG cards have failsafes against legacy cards.

Erm... I know what you're trying to convey here but my point is, Blizz is marketing the game as a simple game but it's inevitable that it will get more & more complex down the road.

Oh well, maybe it's just me being too speculative, especially considering the fact that I've yet to even touch the game.
