A Turtle Mount?

Remember the Warcraft trading card game that's being developed? The suggestion has always been that some of the cards you collect may convey bonuses within the game itself, though the Upper Deck website is vague on what sort of rewards they might be. Well, a recent addition to Thottbot gives us a hint - the spell "Create Upperdeck Turtle Mount," which seems to be part of the recent build on the test realms. A search of Thottbot provides other possible TCG rewards - tabards, pets, and trinkets. Somehow, the thought of my Gnome warlock riding around on a giant turtle appeals to me...

oh thats awesome! even though the turtle looks like a little kid drew it it would be fun. on many characters ive gained their rep with other cities early on in the starting zones so i can get the other mounts easier later on but i havent gotten more than 1 lvl 40 toon yet. oh well i cant wait for this!

I'm totally against the idea of spending money outside the game to give perks or advantages in the game. I'm already paying quite a lot every month, that ought to be enough for me to earn all the turtle mounts I could possibly carry.
If blizzard's going to ban ebaying of gold and items, it smacks somewhat of hypocricy if they will now start pawning off items themselves in the form of special (expensive, and possibly very rare) playing cards.
