This card is probably my favorite of all the holiday cards. It has pie on it!

Anything else WotC sent with that card in the holiday package to the retailers? One year they've sent an Elspeth mousepad as well.

We got one of the mousepads as a prize from our LGS - I'll ask and see if the owner knows anything.

Like everyone said, that guy is really from Diabolic Tutor

But while the Nice one is comboriffic, the Naughty one is a bit too strong, isn't it? Or maybe not if you're not playing 5 colors. Nice card

I love this and want one bad. This is my favorite holiday promo card, but it ironically feels the least holiday-esque.

Probably not too strong as they basically already printed it as Praetor's Grasp

Anyhow nice card, fun art gag, and I reaaaaaally hope that the L3 Christmas packet has one of these this year

If anything, Naughty is weak. Even if you do have the correct mana to play what you get, you have no control over what's in your opponent's deck. The best Naughty can get you is probably going to be your opponent's most efficient creature or something. Not especially gamebreaking.

Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't mind taking a Maze of Ith, or a Nev's Disk, or a Masticore, or ...

Naughty seems a little obvious. So what are the uses for Nice? The Johnny in me wants to think of as many as possible:
Diplomacy (Boooring)
Putting a pact in their hand and Mindslavering/Sorin'ing them
2HG/Team Combos (Eg. They have 3 Painter Servants and 3 Grindstones in their deck. You have 1 of each and 4 naughty//nice)
Casting huge cards out of their hand with Reversal of Fortune or Mindclaw Shaman.
Effects based on the number of cards in their hand? Seems a little small when bilateral card draw does so much better.
Ignite Memories after putting Emrakul or something similarly obnoxious into their hand?

All I got.

Doesn't this card break one of Magic's fundamental rules? That at no point should a player's card end up in the hand of their opponent
