You sure, I am pretty sure it will have more than that.
That's all they tested in UA. There were three Subclasses for the Giants release, but the Dino Druid and Rune Wizard got dropped. The only Subclass tested for the "Wonders of the Multiverse" UA was the Fate Clwric ,which was either meant for Planescape and dripped or meant for Deck of Many Things. Nothing else has been tested, so it doesn't exist. The only Feat that was Deck related was Cartomancy. There were several Deck of Many Thigns themed Spells, but not many. The description of the book doesn't speak to beign Xanathar or Tasha like at all.

This is what we know will be in the book, sounds more like Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel combined with Curse of Strahd than it does Tasha'sor Xanathar's Guides:

What does The Book of Many Things include?​

The Book of Many Things is a new collection for D&D 5e that contains a deck of 66 specialty cards and two new sourcebooks, as follows:

  • The Deck of Many Things: This an actual set of illustrated cards that are designed to represent the Deck of Many Things itself. It consists of consists of the 22 cards from the original Deck of Many Things artifact (as originally described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide) along with 44 new cards.
  • The Book of Many Things: This 192-page book provides more details on the history of the Deck of Many Things. It also includes advice on using the deck in an existing DnD 5e campaign, along with adventure hooks, new monsters, character options and magic items inspired by the legendary artifact.
  • Card Reference Guide: This 80-page guidebook shows Dungeon Masters how to use the cards in an existing DnD 5e campaign. Notably, it offers several different “modes” of use, including using the cards to randomly generate new adventure ideas.
D&D Senior Story Designer Chris Perkins has also revealed that The Book of Many Things will tie in to existing D&D materials. This is likely a reference to the of Unearthed Arcana playtest entitled the “Wonders of the Multiverse,” which was released in July 2022 and introduced a number of new spells inspired by the Deck of Many Things, including the introduction of the “Cartomancer” feat, which allows players to infuse cards with spells.

They may take the opportunity to update some of the older subclasses that could use a revision to be brought up to par with their current design paradigm and aren't necessarily in the lineup for the '24 PHB - most of the subclasses in SCAG, for example.

We'll have a better idea of what to expect once it's up for preorder and we start getting preview material.

If they were going to do thstz they would have put it through UA. Since they didn't, they won't. They have already touted that there will be character options, but they are also touting 7 Feats as a plethora in Planescape, soooo...

Not that I mind all that much, maps and adventure hooks are more helpful to me than PC options.
