New TCG Loot cards announced for Blood of Gladiators expansion

Our friends over at WoWTCGLoot have posted what they believe are the next three loot cards coming out in the "Blood of Gladiators" expansion of the card game. - A Sandbox Tiger, we're told, will be a cooldown-based location toy like the D.I.S.C.O. ball, and will allow you to ride a spectral tiger in place, like a rocking horse.
- An Epic Purple Shirt will not only look epic, but should allow you to do a special emote (probably /flex) that will make you "the center of attention."
- And perhaps more exciting, a Foam Swords Rack will let players around you grab foam swords and swordfight to the finish, complete with a declared winner.

Sweet. Who doesn't love toys?
Jay Feb 24th 2009 6:04PM
Sounds awesome.

the purple shirt.. meh
but the foam swords and the sandbox tiger would be amazing!!! Can't wait to make the boyfriend by these packs of cards (currently he is buying the Drums of War packs; which I got the Party G.E.R.N.A.D.E.S. that I thought was the Disco Ball QQ)

Engineering was a nice profession once. Until this TCG came out stole all our toys and now they might as well change the profession name to gogglecraft.

No wonder engineering is so terrible!
All of the "toy" items are now TCG only. Whereas in vanilla wow Engineering was responsible for the toy items.
Glad I dropped Eng and picked up JC. There really is no reason to keep that godawful profession.

I dont understand why blizzard wouldnt give all this weird cool stuff through the game too.
There are achievements, proffesions, reputations, hard mode drops.
So many ways to give players a way they can work for this.
With all the time invested to design them its really a shame that it is just for an ebay card game.

I haven't done much in Engineering (my only toon with it is 19 still) but it does pain me to see all these cool toys go to the TCG. I WANT to give you engineers my gold for some silly toys. Much as I enjoy all the fighting stuff in the game, I also like collecting the toys & pets & all.
That foam-sword rack should be a prize or purchasable item for the Argent Tournament (if it's meant to be something similar to the medieval tournaments, it should have a Darkmoon Faire/ren-faire type bazaar area selling turkey legs & pennants and all sorts of things... and the nerf-swords would be perfect!)
I'd much rather have the goodies as in-game gold sinks (not on the high end of Tundra Mammoths and Kirin Tor rings, of course) than as real-life MONEY sinks via eBay or buying cases of cards and hoping you get something you want.

This card game shit is microtransactions in disguise.
Ew.
Ugkul Feb 26th 2009 8:44PM
Exact-a-mundo!

Idiot.
This has nothing to do with microtransactions.
The items from the loot cards are useless game play wise. While microtransactions will let you have mounts to ride (instead of "hiring"), weapons and full loot. This is NOTHING of the kind.
I think Blizzard handles this brilliantly.
Everything is good these day to shit on the most beautiful game we have had in YEARS.
I am fucked up by these useless trolls having ONE aim: to destroy WOW and the fun we have in that game in places like Wintergrasp.
Go play broken and unpolished games pls and STAY away.

This is kinda frustrating... Mostly because of Upper Deck's recent behavior as a company.
For those not aware, they've been indirectly distributing counterfeit cards for their own game (Yu-Gi-Oh!). Now we're seeing even more of the top items going exclusively to the Legendary cards - and only in large cities.
Blizzard, please try and provide better ways to get some of the cool items. :(

Not sure what you've been reading, but Upper Deck has never distributed counterfeit cards.

How would you know Obiah? Did Upper Deck tell you so?

I noticed in the youtube of the new items, the tiger disappeared from the orcs inventory after use. The tiger isn't reusable?
Furydeath Feb 28th 2009 4:24AM
The Sandbox tiger is a one time use item.
ZUR13L Mar 3rd 2009 6:44PM
That's one time too many, imho.

The foam swords seem fun though...

Already have the Spectral tiger toy. Havent scratched it. Do I have to wait for the expansion before I can redeem it?
