    [Doubt] DecK Building

    Hi.


    I'm new here , and I'm new to in the WOW TCG.

    I have some doubts about the games rules....

    My fist question is : Can I put in my deck . cards from Raid Decks ?? ( Like Black Temple cards ?? ).....or I can only use boosters cards ??
    Why Onyxia's Lair ( Raid Deck ) cards habe the border yellow , and Black Temple not ?

    Can I build a Deck or two buying a Booster Box ?? ( Deck's just for playing with my friends )
    ( Or it's very hard ?? )

    Weel...that's all for now.

    See ya

    Kind of. Each raid deck comes with a treasure pack. The cards in the treasure packs can be used in normal decks. Black Temple comes with some cards that can be used in Traitor Hero decks. Traitor Heroes only appeared in the Servants of the Betrayer set. All other cards in raid decks cannot be used in a regular deck.
    Why Onyxia's Lair ( Raid Deck ) cards habe the border yellow , and Black Temple not ?
    I have no idea.
    Can I build a Deck or two buying a Booster Box ?? ( Deck's just for playing with my friends )

    Probably. They probably won't be great decks, but they should be serviceable for casual play.

    Remember: with great power comes great current squared times resistance.

    With a booster box you have more than enough to get playing - there is a type of way of playing called "Sealed Pack" and you should give that a try.  The only other thing you'll need is a copy of each hero from the set that you have a booster box of (if you open all the boosters in a box and take the heroes out, but keep the boosters intact apart from that, you should have most of the heroes you need).

    You and your friend then each get 6 boosters.  You both open those packs up and then make the best 30 card deck you can with those cards, and play against each other.  After a few games you may then find that the Alliance Paladin deck that you made with the cards first time out isn't as good as you expected, so using the same 6 packs you change around and make a Horde Mage deck instead... your friend may also decide to change his deck.  Or you could swap card pools (he gets the 6 boosters you opened, you get his) and start again to see if you'd make the same decks when given the same cards.

    Sealed pack is a great way to play (a lot of big tournaments use Sealed Pack) and it's a good introduction to the basics of the game like strategy and deckbuilding, and what the different classes do.  It's quite a bit different to making finely-honed 60-card constructed tournament decks, but its WAY more accessible when you're starting out and leads to some very close games that I think you'll enjoy.
