Blizzard just posted a wonderful teaser for the next expansion, to be announced tomorrow. Come check out our speculation!
The Official Teaser
Our Speculation
As you can see in the teaser, it's a desk with tools and some papers and a toy wooden block with an M...but if you turn that M upside down, it becomes a W. Now what do we know about things in Hearthstone with toys and the letter W?
Well, our very own Imik had some ideas about that, he saw the Expansion teaser image in the New year post from earlier today and started to put 2 and 2 together, and made the following visual comparison:
The left part of that image is the expansion teaser, the image on the right is the card art for Whizbang the Wonderful. Well look at that, a W and a very strong connection to toys.
So that is our best guess, we will see the return of Whizbang the Wonderful tomorrow as part of the Expansion!
Wasn't sure if I should boo or laugh so I did both haha. You gotta be a dad for sure.
Mech vs Wizards
I hope they're bringing him back, the silliness is uncontainable (also I'm lazy and don't like deckbuilding lol)
This is why I run Renounce Darkness.
Silly Hearthstone. You've got it set to M for Mini, when it should be set to W for Wumbo!
I wonder if Hearthstone is thinking about making a 'fun' set. Kind of like Unhinged for Magic the Gathering.
Is the wonderful news you have finally decided to delete the Rogue class? Jokes aside it can very well be something with Whizbang and I really hope that Shadowstep is once and for all put out of Standard the only card in HS that has been allowed to be a staple for 10 years.
I'm not sure if Whizbang actually has any connection with toys, but you actually can see the gears (that are not the same, but close) the stars that are pretty much the same, and the rainbow reflection on the table.
Also the most evident clue is in the teaser itself "Wonderful things are coming soon to Hearthstone..." and the picture says "with a Bang" Whizbang is the Wonderful, and his name is Whiz-Bang, So everything seems to point to that.
The only problem is that sadly (
and I know most people don't care about this, but I do) Whizbang dosn't have any lore at all. The only thing you know is from his flavor text that says "from the prestiguious Westfall Wonderfuls" which is a place that dosn't exist on Warcraft, and one comment from one of the debs that said he was a scientist (which explains why was introduced in Boomsday)So my guess is that is going to be a set oriented in Westfall Wonderfuls, which is going to be some kind of parallel magic dimension, and is going to have a Fairy Tale theme. and I'll go all in with my BINGO and say that there's going to be at least 1 minion made of candy.
Westfall Wonderfuls sounds like a group of people more than a place. Like a magic act, or musical act that is from Westfall, a zone in WoW.
maybe the box is upside down
Or maybe the expansion is about Whizbang's long lost brother, who got bitten by a Worgen and got the curse, and now goes by Mizfang the Malicious. =P
EDIT: Mizfang still makes toys, but they are like Chuckie Dolls...
