A little while back, we heard from Upper Deck that there would be a new set of holiday cards coming out for the Feast of Winter Veil ingame holiday, and now reader Dave C has spotted a preview for the cards in the aptly named Previews magazine. If I recall correctly from my comic collecting days, Previews is a magazine for retailers published by a distributor so they can know what's coming in the next few months and how many of each product to order.At any rate, what's important is that they have a short preview of the upcoming holiday set, and while specifics are still unclear, we're told that each set will have ten exclusive game cards, two Pet mini-cards, three booster packs, and a special "Feast of Winter's Veil" box in it. Unfortunately for the MMO players, none of these cards will be ingame loot cards, but as we said when we first heard about this set, it might be a nice gift for someone who plays the card game itself.
Dave also says the Previews issue has a three page preview of the WoW comic book, and obviously WoW shows up on the cover as well. So expect a lot of WoW-related goodies hitting your local comic book store this holiday season.

Do you get good in-game stuff with those card sets? Is there like a free trinket in every pack or what? Does anyone get these? Would it be worth picking up packs?

I don't know how well things are going for the TCG as of right now... but I think they're going to really run the game into the ground if they keep the pace up of the expansions and addons and raid decks to something new to have to shell out a few hundred bucks on every 3-4 months.
Then again, that's what WotC does with MTG and it's been pretty successful I suppose. At the same time, the fact that WotC wanted to do that is what drove me away from the game as well...
I guess the only difference here, is they're also selling to MMO gamers who couldn't care less about the cards and just want the loot scratchers. I know it's worked for me, I've bought a few boxes and haven't played a single minute of the TCG...
