Three New Cards - Supercollider, Flobbidinous Floop, Whizbang
Blizzard has revealed three new cards in a video with Peter Whalen.
Whizbang works as follows.
- When you add Whizbang to your deck, it replaces your hero, your deck, and renames it to "Whizbang is Wonderful".
- Each game you play, one random currently available deck recipe is chosen as your deck. There are 18 choices, 2 for each class.

I think it's the special deck. Only 18 variations. It will not be changed each expansion
Quoting Whalen: "he picks one of the 18 recent deck recipes for you at random" is about all the information we have on it. That doesn't say either way whether it changes with expansions or not, but I would expect it is easier (and less memory) to code it to pick from the deck recipe lists rather than store the 18 we will have specifically during Boomsday.
Awww! Warlock mathematicians sound awesome! I guess playing with souls is fine, but torturing souls with numbers sounds cooler. Wilfred looks like a nice way for newer players to experience some variety (after they accumulate 1600 dust).
Jesus Peter Whalen, brush your teeth. Anyway, to the cards:
Supercollider: This card will either be really insane and bring Control Warrior back from the dead, but most likely it'll just be another garbage Warrior weapon. It is better than Betrayal as you can swing 3 times, and it kills the target that betrays it's other minions as well. However, it's 5 mana, and also only hits kills two minions, and you're trading a lot of health. (It's not a problem for Warrior since they can get a lot of armor, but in practice, we'll have to see.) Its a really good idea though, and I hope it's a good card. Warrior really needs it.
Flobbidinous Floop: Taunt Druid just got a major buff. This card is already meta defining. Why? Because look at it's text: "This is a 3/4 copy of the last minion you played." Notice it doesn't say "this turn." It's the last minion you played PERIOD! That means expensive minions can be copied too. You can make it a second Lich King. A second Hadronox. Need another Primordial Drake played, play this. This card is completely bonkers, and what makes it even more bonkers is it can be used with other Druid decks as well. Like, seriously this is crazy.
Whizbang the Wonderful: Presenting this expansion's fun gimmick card that will never see play outside of Casual and a few fringe Legend matches. Whizbang is purely for people who wanna have fun, but is just a trash card. Why? Because your whole deck is randomized to be a random deck recipe deck. Here's the problem with that: ActiBlizz's deck recipes are....shit. Only a few are actually good, and let's be honest if we wanted to use the deck recipe decks, we would just use them and substitute the shitty cards for good ones. With Whizbang, you don't get that choice.
At least itll give you a chance to try the cards in the expansion
I agree with all of this (except for the teeth part. I'm English and appreciate that perfect teeth isn't the same as clean teeth), but you have missed something with Whizbang: Yes the deck recipes need refining to be competitive but often they are (broadly speaking) the decks people want to try out each expansion but not everyone has the means (money, gold or dust) to do so.
In 1 card people (especially F2P players) get the opportunity to try out 9 new decks in every future expansion. Sure you don't choose the deck but over time you see them all.
"Jesus Peter Whalen, brush your teeth", when you try to be edgy but just look like an ass
I think Whizbang is great for newcomers
Whizbang is for f2p players, only 1600 dust deck and a lot of fun (random). Imagine, you re just starting this game and you already can create descent deck, yes, if they are all bad it will be awful, but, i think. most of them will be better than just basic decks with shity vanila cards. Great card.
Ofc for all of us, who have a lot of cards - it s shit and craft it just for fun.
Golden Whizbang would be 18 times 30 golden cards!!
540 golden cards for 3200 dust is insane value xD
Right, haha!
It just won't show the edited version :O
Good luck playing your golden Freeze Shaman deck recipe, mate.
yep, The expansion comes with deck recipes for each class as well and Freeze shamman is from frozen throne, so the shamman recipes avaliable to whizbang would be the one we don't know from boomsday plus the one from kobolds and catacombs, and not freeze shamman.
So i guess we can note that scary fishmen don't have brains.
I can already see the nightmare brewing - Maly and taunt druid as far as the eye can see - Atleast the kind of decks I play have a fair chance against current taunt druid, but if Maly druid becomes a thing I fear my lategame deck days are over.
First random targets, then random effects, now, RANDOM DECKS!
Randomness by the millions!
coff coff Renounce Darkness coff coff already existed coff coff
i want to think the whizbang is for the new players but is still a legendary...
Jeez 2 insta-crafts and the reveal schedule hasn't even begun...
I am so screwed.
not sure why you would ever craft Whizbang tbh
It’s 18 decks at the low cost of one legendary! I’m gonna want it golden.. :D
