Looking forward to building a deck with at least one of them. Make them useful!

Thank you for your support, kwest!
We are definitely seeking to fulfill your desire!
Don't get so defensive. I don't expect everything to be done all at once. releasing it slowly is actually better for game balancing since that will have to be something that will need doing fairly often. Also you say that if I don't think $10 is reasonable then I must move on ? Ok well I think $10 per card can add up to alot. the cards go up to $100 even you said yourself MTG black lotus is $30 and you want up to $100.
You have got that wrong: A Black Lotus card in MTG is not $30, it is $30.000.
So no as a TCG/CCG player I don't find $10 starting price reasonable especially since there still is no game. I don't know you all I have is your word. Maybe you are going to make a great game with a profitable and fun way to trade cards but I do not know that and all I was saying is that compared o most projects $10 is a high starting off place. I wanted you to justify it not tell me to move on.
Why are the cards that price ? The game is played with only a handful of cards ? at $10 that could cost alot and it is $10-$100

The reasons for the price are all mentioned in the OP of the thread:
Development Support, Scarcity, Usefulness.
All I am doing is weighing our risk to reward. It is not a personal attack on your project. I actually support it since I live TCG/CCG.
Oh and how much will a card pack cost ?
Another reason I say $10 is a lot is because I like to collect things and collecting 100 cards would cost me $1000 and that is a lot.

Pricing of card packs is a huge topic that requires lots of through-thinking. At this stage it is not possible to give exact numbers.
One way we think of it is offering 1.000.000.000 card packs at a converted rate of around a couple of U.S. Dollars, possibly containing five cards. Chances to obtain a Woodcoin's Guardian by purchasing a card pack then would be 0,00000245% - you see now how rare this card is?
If $10 per card is too expensive for you, simply wait for the card packs to be sold. You will be able to collect more cards for less money, but it will be way more difficult to obtain rare cards that we are handing out right now for direct purchase.
PS: all numbers are still not definite and only shall demonstrate the direction in which it will go.
