Haven't seen anyone talk about this so I'm not sure when this may have happened. To celebrate the new expansion, I decided to play a bit of Wild using my Whizbang the Wonderful. Up until now, Whizbang would assign you a random deck consisting of any of the random prebuilt decks you see in Standard while deckbuilding.
However, today I noticed it gave me a Priest deck with Awaken the Makers. At first I thought they changed the deck pool to old Wild decks, but after my second game giving me Spell Hunter I realized the pool must be from when The Boomsday Project was released.
They did mention this in the announcement, but I'd assumed it was going to happen way later. Guess not. I THINK they said it was temporary though? I hope.
EDIT: "Starting in Patch 28.6, Whizbang the Wonderful will temporarily function in the same way he did at launch (decklists from The Boomsday Project). He’ll be reverted in a major patch after the Fast Forward Twist season ends."

Based on that I’d say he was changed to prevent newer cards from being used in the Twist Fast Forward event. That way they guarantee he doesn’t give you decks like 3x Unholy DK when no one is supposed to have access to the class, and so on.
That’s actually good to see they thought about that ahead of time!

TLDR; Whizbang the Wonderful deckpool changed from Standard decks to Boomsday decks.
They nerfed the old Whizbang to make sure you're gonna buy packs for the new one.

Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense tbh. Just weird they changed him already lol.
