I'm just glad there's no hero attached. I'm a collector, but I try to limit my spending to pre-orders. So I got Mecha Jaraxxus, Lazul and Elise, but skipped the Thunder King. But I want them all. I'm happy to skip this bundle as it has nothing I need.
Is there a way to close a thread? I started this one over 2 months ago, and I'm very pleased with the discussion it generated. At this point, people are just repeating what others have already said, sometimes several times over. I think folks ought to read through the whole thread before posting, but in this case, can we just shut it down? There won't be anything new to say until Blizzard announces any change to Whizbang, if they ever do.
Very interesting to see how different the stats are to an individual's experience. I've won a lot with quest druid, priest and rogue. Haven't seen many warriors. This is ranks 14-10, by the way.
I just looked over the list of Basic and Classic 2-drops (every minion Zephrys might offer with 2 mana left). The apprentice is one of the biggest threats to leave unanswered on the board. Knife Juggler looks like a close second.
Great article! For those who were playing back when these cards came out, it's fun to see how things have changed. Forget about all those crazy double/triple,etc Thaddius plays, just getting an 11/11 down was pretty strong. Compare that to what mages can do on turn 5 now!
Also, has anyone else noticed how often Feugen or Stalagg get offered to you in the tavern on a Dalaran Heist? WTF, they're TERRIBLE on their own.
I love this type of deck. I'll try to make it work, unsuccessfully, for probably half an hour or so, then it will work ONCE. Then I'll delete the deck and move on to something else. And I'll be happy.
Trolden's latest collection has a hilarious bit at the end of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFfQtXAxt5k Dude stacks up over a billion armor (check my math, not my strong suit). And then loses!
Tournaments so soon after a new expansion are interesting to me. I'll be watching to see which decks stand out, as they will likely make up a large part of the meta in the weeks to come. Good to know what to counter, and how!
I would love something like this for casual use. I've hosted a number of Fireside Gatherings, and a couple times we attempted a small tourney. It's really hard to create and run a simple bracket efficiently.
Crafted Whizbang and had a great game with the big warrior. Also threw together quest rogue. Had a couple good games, 1-1, but we're still short some cards. She liked the deck, so maybe we'll craft a second Blink Fox and some other stuff.

My reason might be totally selfish then. Since I'm the one who started the thread, I get notifications every time someone posts to it.

Congrats dude! I hit this same milestone pretty recently, so I know that good feeling. Now you can play whatever you want!

Dag yo, I just saw Griffior's version: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/6599-double-quest-priest and he says Amara doesn't Activate the Obelisk. Right, because she doesn't "restore" health. Ok, might need to tweak this.
I meant in the four random "enemy" minions Bartender Bob offers you. I often see one of them, never both.

Great point, I hadn't thought about double shuffling with the elekk. I love that combo too.

The 2 wild decks are almost singleton decks. Why not throw in Reno and Kazakus?

This looks sweet. I'll give it a spin. How is it working for you so far?

Ah, egg-lock. One of my earliest and most fun decks. It has continued to evolve with new cards being offered. Time to take it for a spin again.
Fun reading. I played all 3 Warcraft games, but never WOW, so I don't know a lot of this stuff.
