I'm a little curious if this is completely free to play as in, will you need to purchase another blizzard game in order to play, or can you create a free battle.net account when playing this game, also love the idea, and a pack of cards only being est. at 1$ per pack is amazing, along with other things, I can not wait.

Once the game launches, you will not need to purchase another Blizzard game to participate, but our other games are so awesome, I think you should buy them all! ;)

Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital strategy card game. You can purchase card packs or play the game and earn them.

Players will earn their first set of cards as soon as they start playing Hearthstone, and certain game modes and features will award additional cards through gameplay.Here are the different ways to get cards:

    • Practice Mode: Play against A.I. opponents representing different classes to unlock new heroes and basic cards.

    • Play Mode: By participating in traditional head-to-head matches, players have a chance to win card packs.

    • The Forge: Build a deck by selecting one card from each of a series of randomized card choices, and then play against other Forge participants. The cards you pick to build your deck are yours to keep—play well enough, and you could win even more. Note that you must trade in a certain number of card packs to participate in The Forge (further details to be announced later).

    • Crafting: Disenchant expert cards in your collection to receive arcane dust, and then use your collected dust to craft other cards of your choosing. Basic cards cannot be disenchanted.

    • Card Packs: Purchase card packs containing five random cards using your Battle.net Balance or a variety of supported payment methods. One of the cards will always be of “rare” rarity or greater; in some cases, you may find that one or more additional cards has also “upgraded” to a higher tier of rarity.

    • Achievements: Certain achievements in the game may grant additional cards.

Are there any plans of gettin rewars into the game or some "special" cards with rewards/loot for WoW like the normal TCG?

We don't have specific information on this, sorry!

On a more serious note, can you say exactly yet HOW our first set of cards will be earned?

You will have a starting deck for a specific class, then you can unlock the other classes and get a starting deck for each. Each starting deck is largely similar with a few special class cards.
