The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, commonly called the TCG, was first announced on August 18, 2005, and later released in October 2006 under Upper Deck Entertainment. In March 2010, Cryptozoic Entertainment took over the license and continued until August 23, 2013. The game came to an end when the closed beta for Hearthstone started, even going so far as to use the same artwork and characters.

Usage for This Project
The canoncity of these cards is fairly neatly divided by who has the license. Anything by Upper Deck Entertainment sits neatly within the time period of better lore, while almost everything by Cryptozoic Entertainment is outside the time period. The artwork is generally useful across the board.
The TCG was treated as a valid source of information, even if it wasn't very detailed, but this was later contradicted by Jeremy Feasel in November 2016[1] and again by Alex Afrasiabi in January 2017.[2] This became even more awkward when decanonised character were added into the MMO.[3]
