today i faced a Whizbang deck. How can i know it was? Because it's entire deck was totally a golden one (plus the Hero). The strangest thing that confirmed my supposition is that the Hearthtracker was recording the game, facts: All the cards were marked as "discovered" or just "obtained" and not in the deck itself.
Yeah I noticed I started running into all golden decks, those are all Whizbangs indeed. I feel like it's not that much different from normal netdecking. If I see baku go off on a rogue or paladin I know 95% of his deck
that is true. In the last years just knowing the archtype you know almost the entire deck, tech cards plus, tech cards less
Are you telling me that people might be able to tell what cards you have in a Whizbang deck??
No,
i'm telling that the Hearthtracker recognize the deck at first. IF a warrior plays the 1/3 mech you see that is "obtained" from the tracker and you know that is a whizbang deck, basically gaining a lot of advantage knowing perfectly the cards in it.
The logs probably shows only one card Whizbang. That's why all the others are marked as obtained. So basically you know always which deck are they using is they use Whizbang. So it's easily to counter in theory.
The believed reason why Wizbang isn't showing up as the hero skin is to hide the fact that you are playing a deck recipe. To the opponent, you appear as a regular deck, at least until they read enough of the cards you own to tell what deck you are (but by then they could do that with any deck).
(unless you have a golden Wiz but that's on you :P)
This works completely against that ideal.
Yes this isn't exactly worthy of deleting your account and declaring war on Blizzard and if it stays like it is then it really doesn't matter that much, but it IS a thing so the thread about it.

Hello everyone,
today i faced a Whizbang deck.
How can i know it was?
Because it's entire deck was totally a golden one (plus the Hero).
The strangest thing that confirmed my supposition is that the Hearthtracker was recording the game, facts:
All the cards were marked as "discovered" or just "obtained" and not in the deck itself.

If you see the replay, you can't see it's deck...
If you open a different replay you can see the deck:

So, Whizbang is a bit worse than i expected thanks to the fact that you know at 100% the deck list...
I just want to inform you all,
have a nice day!

Wow. That means that the logs are showing that the cards are created and not 'in the deck'. That's.. kind of ugly, and utterly fixable I think.

Oh no! This sure tanks the competitive tier 1 nature of Whizbang decks.
The logs probably shows only one card Whizbang. That's why all the others are marked as obtained. So basically you know always which deck are they using is they use Whizbang. So it's easily to counter in theory.
and your point is?
It runs against Blizzard's intention I believe.
The believed reason why Wizbang isn't showing up as the hero skin is to hide the fact that you are playing a deck recipe. To the opponent, you appear as a regular deck, at least until they read enough of the cards you own to tell what deck you are (but by then they could do that with any deck).
