I read on The Games Journal that Reiner Knizia will be making a CCG... does anyone have any news on that? I tried Google and found an interesting interview by Steven Glenn (who's a member here, isn't he?) but it didn't really say anything about the upcoming CCG (if there really is one).

With Scarab Lords he made a non-collectible game that had the "sideboard" aspect of CCG tournament decks; i.e. you could swap in and out cards from a reserve stock in between rounds.
The decks are also balanced differently, with different styles- one slower, one faster etc.
I think he was playing with some of CCGs' innovative concepts in a non-collectible format. I haven't heard of him doing anything similar again, although he may well do, but I'd be very surprised if he actually had something that was a collectible card game per se in the works.
