Yes, you get gold just by playing and all cards are obtainable just by playing.
In single-player:
- You get gold by playing a quick match (both winning and losing).
- You get no gold for the tutorial match.
- You get gold once for each trial you win. Repeated trials give nothing.
In multiplayer you also get gold both for winning and losing a match. For details you can check the wiki.
Shards can only be bought with real money and can be used to:
- Unlock the other starter decks.
- Buy the weekly face-up offers. These are six random scrolls (2 common, 2 uncommon and 2 rare) that refresh weekly just for you.
Shards can not buy anything that can't be bought with gold, and to buy random scrolls and scroll packs (which is the primary way to get new scrolls) you can only use gold.
Card rarity is indicated by the wear and tear on the scroll image itself, the more worn scrolls being more rare.
I've been looking about midway down the left side of a scroll as that seems to have the most distinct markings.
Here's a common:

Poison is used by a variety of scrolls in Decay and a few in Growth. All scrolls discussed are Decay unless otherwise stated.
Poison is an effect which can be applied to creatures (not structures). (An effect is a modifier attached to a unit which doesn't count as an enchantment.) It may be applied in several ways, but always has the same result. Quoting from the in-game description on a poisoned unit:
Units may become poisoned in several ways; directly by use of Ranger's Bane (Growth) or Brain Lice (note that Brain Lice applies poison and separately its own enchantment for the draw effect), or indirectly by the abilities of another unit (Vitriol Aura (Growth), Bitter Root, Blightbearer, Pest Dissimulator).
Poison damage is a type of non-combat damage. It is increased by Curse enchantments and ignores armor.
Blightbearer and Infectious Blight are scrolls which receive or deal poison damage but do not use the Poison effect itself; notably, Infectious Blight acts very much like poison but does not display the graphic for poisoned units.
Miasma Well is a structure which does damage to poisoned units only.
