Darkmoon Cards
The Darkmoon Faire has historically featured epic deck trinkets that players have created by collecting an entire piece of decks. In the early days, these cards were simply world drops (dropped by any mob in the world) but from cataclysm onward, inscriptionists can make these BoE cards (they bind when equipped). Some of these decks, like 
Relic of Xuen, are considered very good.
You can deliver the complete decks of all the expansions to the Professor Thaddeus Paleo.
