Because original Whizbang wasn't insane enough, now we have Whizbang on crack! I do hope I end up opening it if just to fuck around with the decks. It's probably a 2-star card for competitive viability, but it'll absolutely be a 5-star card for fun factor.
It is slightly weakened by the fact that you can't play it on curve unlike most other tutor effects, but it's still a draw that gives you an extra copy so it's most likely going to be pretty good.
It's very slow and it seems inefficient compared to Grave Rune, although Warlock has different means of taking advantage of this than Priest and the fact that the minions always awaken on your turn means it's easier to set up specific combos with it.
On its own, it's very slow and probably not great. If it sees play, it's because you can cheat it out with Hagatha. It lives and dies by the viability of the slimes.
This is also the first mono-class Arcane spell in the game for Shaman. All their other Arcane spells are dual-class.
For Big Demons? This is absolutely insane and you definitely run it.
Unfortunately for Endgame, we don't have the Big Demons in Standard to support it. If such a deck were to exist in any other format though, you definitely run this.
I think it's weak. The Corpse cost is fairly steep and the payoff feels pretty lackluster. You'd need to land a lot of handbuffs on it to make it worthwhile.
If other card interactions are anything to go off of, even if you cast the spell for 1 mana, it'll still count as a 3-Cost card for the purposes of Orb.
I really hope that not all of the Signature cards for this expansion end up being mechanized versions of the original cards.
At the risk of sounding like a meme, I unironically think it's unnecessarily confusing for new players. It looks like a Mech, but it doesn't function like a Mech, and Signature cards of this year don't have the minion types printed on the cards themselves.
I'm going to assume you mean Miniaturize instead of Mini.
Judging by the way it's written on the expansion page, Miniaturized minions should need to be properly played from the hand to get the Mini copies. But if you cheat them out, you'll still get the full-size body on the board. You just won't get the Mini in your hand.

This is a hard one.

That's quite the throwback.
It's hard to say that it'll be super good, but it can be pretty good with Minis or even just small minions in general.

A little bit on the slow side to get going, but it definitely has potentially to become a nuisance.

Whoa, a Forge of Souls! Sweet pull!
I don't think Orb works that way.

I did get Super Mario Wonder for Christmas, and I haven't gotten all of the Wonder Seeds yet. Could go back for that.
Also really funny that you mention Star Wars games since I've also been playing Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.
What was your favorite thumbnail joke of this reveal season?
Did any of them have you dying of laughter?
Aura you excited for this new Paladin archetype?
Spyro 4, let's go!!!
I'm pretty sure this is the very first time a card reveal has occurred on February 29th.

Remember the Smelloscope from Futurama? It's here in the year 2024!

Why is the Mini version of Factory Assemblybot not a Mech?
Because Blizzard.
