Well, personally I find it does encourage me to play games... But at the same time, the frustration caused by the randomness and the inability to actually do almost anything to complete a set encourages leaving games running and doing something else at the same time, and I generally despise such action.
Personally I think the trading card system just encourages spending money. People will spend money on cards, people will find it easier to spend money on games as well. People who get money by selling their cards will spend the money on games. Valve wins, publishers win, developers win, because they get more money. But it doesn't encourage playing games a lot, 4-5 hours isn't very much for a game. I suppose it does encourage trying out more games, though.
