The WoW TCG Servants of the Betrayer expansion pack is upon us, and you know what that means: New Loot cards! That means we should start seeing Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuits, Goblin Weather Machines, and X-51 Nether-Rockets (and Nether-Rockets EXTREME) popping up in game soon. The official TCG site has released video footage of all 3 items in action. From the footage of Nether-rocket above, it looks to me like this should the perfect mount for anyone who's wanted to create a WoW machinima recreation of Dr. Strangelove. Also, for the record, it looks like you will actually be able to buy both speeds of rocket from one code, so no need to get a second card if you want to buy the slow one now and the fast one later.
Check out videos of the other two items after the break.
Here we see the Goblin Weather Machine in action, which create your own little weather system to follow you around when you right click it. It's random, and features sun, snow, and two, count 'em, TWO types of rain. Probably worth a giggle or two if you come across it randomly, though I don't see these being so coveted as others. Still, If you've always wanted to roleplay Azeroth's version of the Weather Wizard, here's your chance, I suppose.
And finally, last but not least, we have the footage of Papa Hummel's Pet Biscuits. We did get a slight preview of them in the form of a pet growth bug on the 2.4 test server a while back, but now you can get the real thing. This loot card is a bit different from previous ones in that it's actually "super-common" loot, meaning there will likely be at least 2 in every booster box. This is a good thing, too, as each biscuit is consumed on use, and you only get 50 per a card. I have to admit, I'm a little bit disappointed by the limited amount from each card, and by the fact that you can't use it on Hunter or Warlock pets in-game. My Hunter was very much looking forward to sending her giant boar charging across Alterac Valley to see how many Horde she could send scattering in fright. Still, This card will still grow your Sleepy Willy, and that has a good chance of leading to fun times .

So if I read the TCG site correctly, we only get 50 pet biscuits if we get the loot card?
Thats it?

Yeah that is it. The thing about the biscuit card is that it is the common loot card. So the chances to getting atleast one per box is very very high. Also still can't decide what i want to do with my nether-rocket loot card. I want to use it but the investor in me says otherwises lol

I'd certainly use it. Rocket > money

For the Nether Rocket, it'll be like the Spectral Tiger was. . . you enter the code and get the ability to buy both the Normal and Epic version. You can buy multiple copies on the same character if you like, but they're BoP so it won't do you much good.
As far as the distribution of Papa Hummel's biscuits, I opened three copies in 36 packs, so they showed up about two per box for me.

I'd probably use the rocket like I used my Spectral Tiger, I'm a sucker for extra rare things lol.
I only bought 4 boosters of the new expansion and got the biscuit card, but I'm really dissapointed with it's "limited" nature.
I understand they made it that way since the card is easier to get and you most likely will get a bunch.
Still it kinda cheapens the whole loot thing to make it that way.
Imagine getting the Picnic basket but only be able to use it 10 times.......

I'll add this :
If at least the biscuit would work permanently or even for set period of time on the pet.
The way it works now sucks, you can pretty much only just like it in town.
If you die/fall in water, your non-combat pet dimisses and you lose the effect of the biscuit.

that weather machine would be fantastic. There are many many times I could see putting it to good use, and most likely annoying my guildies on runs :)

I got all 3 in a frame from a secret upper deck source, I think now I'm def going to have to scratch off that rocket card!!!! If I'm going to do that, might as well all 3 ;)
