In limited, you buy packs of cards and end up making a deck out of the cards you open at the table. In constructed, you come to the table with a deck you've made out of cards from your own collection.  Both are popular.The limited formats drive card sales directly. You have to buy brand new cards every time you play in a limited event. The constructed formats drive card sales indirectly; people want the powerful rare cards for their constructed decks, so there will be some packs opened in the hope of getting those cards.I'm guessing Wizards of the Coast is hoping for the same revenue stream here. Some players might buy a pack or two to play with during an event that requires it, while others might want to build powerful decks by collecting cards (perhaps more for home games). They're probably just testing the waters now, but if the cards are popular I can see WotC wanting to have both limited and constructed D&D events in the future.My own personal opinion of the cards is that I'm not interested in them, but the above paragraphs are my take on what WotC WANTS to happen.</blockquote>
