It finally happened, I opened a booster package of the WoW TCG and found my very first loot card! For the first time I have a foil card in my grasp, one that cost me at least $100. I don't care that it's one of the most worthless cards of the Scourgewar series, a super common. The fact that its laying on my desk means I finally, finally got something back for my investment.
Not only is the card monetarily worthless, but Tiny (Alliance/Horde) is the last piece of loot from Scourgewar that I wanted. Being an avid pet collector I would have much preferred either the "pet" Kite or the Spectral Kitten. Both of which would raise my pet counter. Instead I am stuck with a meh horse. A mount, something I could not care less about. If the raptor was obtainable for me then maybe I'd give my tired Mechanostrider a break, but that isn't the case. So the card has remained unscratched.
In the spirit of Winter Veil I am leaning towards simply giving the card away. But to whom? A guildmate would be an obvious choice, or perhaps a bit of bribery to my guild master or raid leaders. I am new to the guild, so I could use all the help I could get, but I don't want to get known that way. Instead I've decided to give it to the person I've been playing WoW with the longest. Someone who I've meet in real life a few times, and can always count on having a good time with, even if it isn't productive. It just so happens that he's an avid mount collector, so this somewhat elusive and new mount may just make his holiday.
There is a chance, however slim, that he already has the uneventful horsie. Should that be the case, you definitely should pay attention to my Twitter account. If it comes down to it I will scratch off the card and post it there to award the reader with the fastest fingers.
One of these days I'll actually find someone to play the trading card game with...
