For Skylanders Battlecast, players can purchase physical card packs at retail, as well as digital card packs in-game. Players will experience a magic moment by scanning cards with their mobile devices and watching them come to life. Additionally, fans can scan two character cards to create animated duels in which players can physically interact with the characters.

finally!
tbat looks EXTRA lame. Even the actors in the vid looked underwhelmed.
This is gonna be the next Buddy Card Fight.
So basically this is gonna be the Kid Icarus Uprising aR Card battles, but with animated battles, card decks and team building. Huh.
Dont know if we can really say this solved the cards mistery.
Ok, these are collectable cards which can be used to play the new mobile game but... They don't automatically exclude the legacy ones which came along the figures.
A recent FGTV video seemed to hint at them still being inside characters' packs but I still can't consider it as a proper confirm either.
After all, if they thought heavily changing the bases, modifying the artworks' backgrounds and tweaking the logo would have been good ideas it isn't too unlikely they touched cards too...

The cards reminds me of Pokémon Trading Card Game!

Seriously, I genuinely feel like this entire franchise is only about making as much money from kids as possible. Yes, yes, I know that's what businesses are for but they're so shameless with it. Hate to be the "back in my day" guy, but don't you miss the days where once you bought a game, you owned 99% of what you needed in most cases?
Honestly? Yeah... I agree entirely.
This isn't part of the games,though, it's just a spinoff. And Starter Packs usually give you 100% of what you need to beat it, though not what you'll need to 100%, if it makes sense.
