Hearthstone: 5 Reasons why you should craft Whizbang the Wonderful

Hearthstone's newest expansion Rise of Shadows just dropped a couple of days ago. There have been some really cool decks drafted by pros such as Kripparian, Dog, Trump and others. But ever since a couple of years ago, the number of Legendaries from each expansion has increased.

So it's hard to open every Legendary or Epic from the expansions. You will need to spend a lot of money and open a lot of packs to get those. Not only that, many Legendaries and Epics are quite niche. Legendaries like Bloodmage Thalnos are one of the few that are flexible.

But if you're an F2P player or questioning which Legendary you should spend that precious 1600 dust on, here are 5 reasons why you should craft Whizbang from The Boomsday Project expansion (in case you haven't already).


#5. Whizbang is the best legendary for F2P Players

Opened 50, 70, 100 packs and still missing cards? Whizbang allows you to choose from a huge list of deck recipes which include many Legendaries and Epics. Many decks are refined by the Legendaries you include from the many expansions Hearthstone has released.

Especially if you are a new player, Whizbang is truly a Wonderful craft for you to try the many decks he has to offer. But if you haven't reached Rank 25 yet, Whizbang cannot be crafted or used. If you make him Golden, you will get an all Golden deck as well as a Golden hero. Whizbang is the hero of Free-to-Play players.


#4. Whizbang decks are actually good in Brawliseum

Every once in a while, Tavern Brawl comes as the Brawliseum format. Most Brawliseums require you to make a Standard Deck and you will be locked in with that one deck only till you win or lose.

Whizbang decks are not like that. It switches decks every game and most of the decks you get from it are actually competitive decks which perform well.

#3. Whizbang will be around for one more year in Standard

If you're a F2P player like me, you gather your legendaries of the current expansion in the middle or towards the end. Whizbang was released in 2018's The Boomsday Project and is currently part of the sets allowed in Standard's Year of the Dragon. Including Rise of Shadows, there are 4 expansions you can still use Whizbang decks in.

It's really handy when you don't have the cards you need but still want to try some new meta decks that Blizzard has crafted for you. You can also use Whizbang in future Brawliseums!


#2. Whizbang is currently the best value from any Legendary

What makes a Legendary valuable? A Legendary can either fit in niche deck archetypes or they can be versatile in many different decks. That's how you decide the true value of a Legendary. For example, the Priest card Catrina Muerte is used specifically for Resurrection. She is strong, but not strong enough to use in so many decks.

Whizbang is different from all legendaries. He gives you access to so many legendaries from so many decks. It gives you the option to try different deck archetypes before crafting a Legendary.

#1. There are 18 different decks Whizbang can offer you

Whizbang's Wonderful Decks are 18 different deck recipes, 2 from each class. Every class has 3 deck recipes, one is a "Classic" and the other two are mixed variations of new deck archetypes from the current expansion or previous expansion. Most of the decks offered are actually not terrible, though some are arguably worse than the others.

With the Rise of Shadows release, the deck recipes have also changed quite a bit. Since there is a Standard Rotation and cards from Journey to Un'Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne and Kobolds & Catacombs are no longer available, Blizzard had to change the deck recipes and both deck recipes include cards from Rise of Shadows.

For example, Druid has two types of decks. One is a token minion based deck which focuses on summoning Treants, small minions and buffing the board. The other is a deck which focuses on the new "Heal" mechanic and includes cards like Crystal Stag and Lucentbark.

Metabomb has a pretty comprehensive list of decks to choose from. There will be 9 new decks to try from the next expansion and maybe Blizzard will tweak some of the existing ones and make it 18 decks. In conclusion, Whizbang is a Legendary with tons of value and offers a lot of fun, more than any Legendary that has been introduced in the game.
