Cryptozoic has set us some questions in an FAQ about the future of the World of Warcraft trading card game, and here are some of the ones I am interested in...
Q: When will the next set release? *UPDATED*
A: Wrathgate is scheduled to be on sale on May 25, 2010 in North America and Europe. Other regions will have their release dates confirmed soon.
Q: What will happen with UDE points from booster packs?
A: Current UDE points will not transition to Cryptozoic.
Q: Will Cryptozoic Entertainment continue the points system?
A: We don't plan on continuing the current system. We're considering some other options, but will not release anything unless we're confident it works.
Q: Will Raid Decks continue?
A: I believe so, but I don't currently have a timeframe for them. We're focused on getting the new sets back on schedule first, so it's likely products like raid decks will get pushed out.
Q: Will there be Wrathgate preview articles?
A: Yes.
Q: Will old cards still be valid? Will sleeves be required?
A: All WoW TCG cards will continue to be legal. We will be updating the back to remove any old logos, and when that happens opaque sleeves will be required.
Q: What is the status of the WoW Minis?
A: At this time, Cryptozoic Entertainment is focusing on launching and supporting the WoW TCG only. We do not have the license for the World of Warcraft Miniatures game. Like all companies, it is not appropriate for us to discuss or speculate on other properties.

I'm really disappointed that raid decks have no clear cut future. As to what "pushed out" means, I hope he means that they won't push raid decks out entirely. One has to keep in mind that CZE, (Cryptozoic Entertainment) is a startup company, and that they need to keep the game up and running first with the core booster sets (no pun intended), class decks, and organized play. When all of that is complete, there are options on the table (I believe) for raid decks. I am going to try and get more clarity on this issue.
