World of Warcraft TCG doing good, outsold Magic: The Gathering |
Ó
And by the looks of things, WoW: TCG was doing quite well compared to Magic: The Gathering. Drago said, "It was very successful. From the end of last year to the end of this year, it outsold Magic: the Gathering. That is the first card game to ever do that."
And it not only outsold a legendary trading card brand, but also sold out in stock. "Product was sold out probably for the first four months. We reprinted more than once," said Drago, mentioning that the WoW: TCG launch was just as successful as Magic's launch back in 1993.
But they weren't aiming to beat Magic to consider themselves successful, but Drago admits it does give them a way to create a milestone for their product's performance. Drago added, "There's been a lot of trading card games that have come out and have had varied levels of success. But coming out and being able to step up into that Tier 1 rank was pretty important."
And surprisingly, according to Drago, WoW: TCG has done extremely well to offer something different for trading card gamers, especially Magic gamers. It's not that WoW: TCG offers anything new - in fact it really doesn't - but the card game has dropped the limitations of other card game rules to add more flexibility.
Organized Play is planning more TCG tournaments to occur worldwide and mentions that TCG aspirants should watch for them this summer.

First of all WoW TCG is a great game, I sell it and love it so don't get me wrong, I bear no grudges. I'm just not sure this statement is true: "From the end of last year to the end of this year, it outsold Magic: the Gathering. That is the first card game to ever do that." I'm not sure that is true, or maybe I don't understand what they're saying. Did he mean to till today? I'm sure if you slice it up right, there were periods of time that WoW out sold magic but I doubt it outsold it over any 1 year period of time. In any case, two great games but a confusing post.
