Haven't played / tried it yet, but it seems like from a glance it's 
along the pokemon or Magic the gathering card games...Is this only for 
the PC at this point?

Bliz would be extremely wise to get this as a app for android / iphones 
if not in plans already, as I see this as something to do when away from 
the PC.  IMO, If my head is in warcraft mode and I'm at the PC, I'm 
going to play WoW.  If I'm at lunch or break at work, and away from the 
PC,  I may play this.

They also would be smart to make it F2P app to all, with better cards or 
features available to those who already have accounts with blizz.  Might 
be a way to draw in more ($$) for them from people who will play the 
card game who never touched WoW before....  Kinda a new market.

On a side note, right now I play Castle Clash on my android tablet as my 
relaxing game when away from the PC.  Anyone else try it?  Kind of 
reminds me a bit of the old warcraft 1-3, where you build town hall, 
bases, towers, walls, gold mines, mana mills, etc and can upgrade them 
the way you could in Warcraft.  You can raid other players, run dungeons 
in where it's strategy of placing your types of troops and hero class as 
you don't have direct control over them.   Quite addicting little game 
and recommend checking it out...   :)
