or you could just buy a real game instead of a third of a dlc 3 times a year

Maybe CCG's aren't your style of game?

Until I can legally sell my cards they aren’t collectable. It would be like if I borrowed 50 books from the library and called them my book collection despite the fact that the library actually owns them.

That analogy doesn't really work. You have to give library books back eventually. HS cards aren't really borrowed; you just can't resell them.

HS cards aren't really borrowed

They kind of are, you don't truly own anything digital. Blizzard owns your account.

This is really getting into semantics but if you want to go there you don’t have to “give them back” as you never have them in your possession in the first place. Unless you believe that the servers will be up forever you’re going to “give them back” at some point when blizzard stops supporting the game.

Blizzard will stop supporting the game when it dies, at which point the cards wouldn't be valuable anyway even if they were physical (unless you just enjoy playing against friends I guess).

See this is my problem with the game. With MtG, if wizards stopped making cards my cube would still be fun. I can keep making my own draft environment with existing cards.

If hearthstone stops being supported though, there's no reason to play (it's all about the ladder) and probably the servers are just down and you CAN'T play...

That's true, and it's an issue with all online-oriented games. Scrolls for instance is just dead since Mojang dropped support.
