Deck Play Style

[Capreories]

I'm new to WoW TCG, and after looking over the Deck list i noticed the different play styles like control and rush, etc. What advice do you have for someone that is building their first deck when it comes to play style. Also I have bought cards from HoA up to Scourgewar and was wondering if I make a deck combined of cards from all sets will I be able to play at Official events with that deck or are there set/card restrictions?

Hi Capreories, welcome to WoW TCG Vault

As for play style, it's not really what is easiest, it's down to how you want to play. I mean some people don't like long games, so go rush - others like to control the flow of the game, while others like to deal massive amounts of damage in one fell swoop. Different people enjoy different play styles - maybe it's worth building a few different decks and try them out

As for the sets - it depends on the tournament. There are three styles of tourney (typically)

Constructed - Pretty much all cards are legal
Block - Only cards from the specified set are legal
Draft - You create your deck on the day from boosters/sets

Here is a snippet from the official rules:

Each tournament format supported by UDE is either a Constructed or a Limited format. Players can also participate in events as part of a team.

In Constructed formats, players bring their own decks. UDE supports two variants:

• Constructed—All cards are legal.
• Block Constructed—Only cards from a specified block are legal (see Section C-8).

In Limited formats, players build decks from a limited card pool at the tournament using sealed product. UDE supports two variants:

• Sealed Deck (including Team Sealed)—Players open several WoW booster packs and build decks from the opened cards. For Team Sealed, players share the boosters they open.

• Booster Draft (including Team Draft)—Players open several WoW booster packs and pass them around the table, picking cards to add to their decks. For Team Draft, players do not share the drafted cards.

In Constructed formats, players construct their own decks using their own card pools prior to the tournament. A Constructed deck must adhere to the following rules:

• A deck must include at least 60 cards, not counting the hero.
• A deck can’t include more than four copies of a single card unless that card has “unlimited” in its type line. You may include any number of unlimited cards in your deck.
