Well, pretty much every trading card game looks like a MTG ripoff (because they all are). 10 year olds is subjective, so that's up to you to decide if WoW itself is a game for 10 yr olds.
Some fun mechanics. No tapping.. your creatures can attack and defend in the same turn. No blocking.. instead they have many cards with taunt, forcing creatures to attack them first if they choose to attack. No land.. instead everything has a mana cost. Your mana starts at 1 turn one, and refills and adds 1 each turn. Your hero starts w/ 30 hp and can equip weapons to attack creatures or the enemy hero. Each class has a unique ability for 2 mana (e.g. Warlock has lifetap - lose 2 life, draw a card).
Similar FNM thing with arena - pay gold or $$ to draft a deck, draw three random cards and discard one. Potential access to any card for the chosen class. Enter arena and win games to get better prizes (maximum of 9 wins or 3 losses, whichever comes first). You don't keep the deck after leaving arena.
