UPDATE: Contest is closed. The post is locked to prevent further entry.
On June 12th,
Cryptozoic
is launching their latest WoW TCG expansion:
Tomb of the Forgotten

Spurious Sarcophagus
,
White Riding Camel
, and
Sand Scarab
.
Since we're huge fans of the WoW TCG and so are our users,

A Guide to Collecting TCG Vanity Items
TCG items have long been the highlight of many Wowhead contests, thanks to our friends at
Cryptozoic
, and I personally love collecting TCG mounts and giving pet codes to friends! Not all players know about them though, besides going 'cool mount' when they see someone in a major city, so here's everything you need to know about them.
Before I list all the TCG items, their details, and equivalent items, here's some basic facts:
As part of the Trading Card Game, there are three cards in every new set that have special codes which can be redeemed for loot! These loot cards vary in rarity--generally there will be a commonly-acquired pet card, a somewhat-rare novelty item, and an extremely-rare mount.
To get your item, first you will need to go to WoW's
Promotion Page
and enter in the 25-digit code. This will then give you an in-game code that can be redeemed by Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.
If you're uninterested in testing your luck with random packs of cards, there are alternate ways to get loot cards--for a price. Any TCG card or the exact code written on the card may be sold for real life money and not in-g

News Round Up: More Mists of Pandaria Interviews and New TCG Decks
MMORPG.com Interview with Rob Foote about Mists of Pandaria
During BlizzCon this year, we had the chance to sit down with Rob Foote, Senior Game Producer on World of Warcraft. Rob deals mostly with the art team, but as all producers can tell you, he knows quite a bit about the design as a whole surrounding Blizzard’s latest expansion: Mists of Pandaria. We set out a few difficult questions to Rob, but he was pretty apt to answer them, and we think you’ll like the outcome.
MMORPG.com: The very first thing we asked? Pandaria… Pandarens… why?
Rob Foote:
They’ve been something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, especially artistically. Ever since Warcraft III, people were drawn to them. We started on the model five years ago, and it just sat there in the archives. Cataclysm was over and we wanted something different, and Pandaria made a lot of sense because the Pandas are so “big” thematically that they overshadowed the “big bad”. And we really wanted to get into a sort of Asian-influenced theme.

Wowhead's 5th Anniversary WoW TCG Giveaway

Did you know that it's Wowhead's fifth birthday this weekend?
It's hard to believe, but we've spent five long years of being one of the biggest World of Warcraft resources and working our hardest to tell you what you need to know to bring your a-game to Azeroth. The site has come a long way from its talent calculator days and remains stronger than ever--thanks largely to its awesome userbase and determined staff. You guys have made it all possible and that alone is worth a celebration.
Luckily for you, like any good birthday bash, we're celebrating with presents all week. But instead of presents for the birthday site, they're for you guys. We've hooked up with

Get Ready for WoW's 7th Anniversary: A Guide to Collecting Tabards
With
WoW's 8th Anniversary
datamined on the PTR, it’s time to give tabards another look. If this goes live, it appears that for this year’s anniversary you can transform the appearance of your tabard, possibly into ones you’ve previously obtained. And even if this goes the way of the dance studio, it’s still a good time to brush up on available tabard options with the new achievement
Thirty Tabards
in patch 4.1.
This guide is organized by tabards that were introduced in each expansion as well as the means for obtaining them. When changing factions, many tabards will convert accordingly as we’ve noted below. Also, if you destroy some tabards (PvP, BC reputation, select achievement rewards), they can be obtained again from
Tabard Vendors
in major cities. Some rare tabards cannot be replaced and we’ve noted them as such. Other common tabards for Wrath/Cataclysm are cheap and you can simply buy them back for a few silver from their respective quartermasters.

Cryptozoic Shows Off New WoW TCG Loot Cards!
Log off of that alt and into the real world - we're talking World of Warcraft Trading Card Game here! Our friends over at Cryptozoic Entertainment have just given us the heads up on a spotlight of their latest expansion
War of the Elements
, which hits the shelves on April 26, 2011, and will be available in French, Italian, German, and English all on the same day! My favorite part? New

cards!
I'm sure many of you have purchased packs in the past and been disappointed to find that the super-rare items were indeed as super-rare as advertised. Well, unlike previous World of Warcraft TCG expansions, Cryptozoic's
War of the Elements
set contains a common quality loot item that is no longer a consumable (such as the
Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit
, though admittedly they were the best)! Instead, the common-quality loot item is now a
companion pet
! So even if trading card games aren't your thing (but they should be, really) you can still have a good chance at obtaining another companion for your collection!

Cryptozoic Takes Over World of Warcraft TCG
A month and a half ago Blizzard
announced
they were parting ways with Upper Deck, and they would in the near future announce some exciting changes coming to the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game.
That announcement has arrived! Blizzard, in partnership with
Cryptozoic Entertainment
will begin its (hopefully) long and fruitful relationship this May, with the release of the Wrathgate expansion set for the TCG.
“Having been fully involved with the development of the World of Warcraft TCG from day one, I've always been passionate about taking it into the future,” said Cory Jones, Cryptozoic’s President and Chief Creative Officer, and formerly Blizzard Entertainment's lead business and development liaison for the TCG. “I'm pleased to say that the players have a lot to look forward to as we continue developing and evolving the game to match the action and spirit of World of Warcraft.”
