HE'S BACK! Four years after his rotation to wild, Whizbang the Wonderful is back and better than ever, with his very own expansion, titled Whizbang's Wokshop. Let's get into all the new stuff coming in the new expansion, including new cards, mechanics, free stuff, and more!

Miniaturize

The new keyword for the expansion is Miniaturize, which add a 1/1 copy of a card to your hand, with the keyword replaces simply with "Mini". This new version also has it's own art. Four cards with this mechanic were revealed, including a new version of Sunkeeper Tarim

 

 

Wind-Up

Some cards will get stronger by "winding them up", A.K.A. Trading them to improve their effects. Only one card was shown for this section, Wind-Up Musician.

Returning Mechanics from the Past

Some cards will feature returning mechanics from the game's history, even for the classes that weren't around at the time. One example is the Death Knight's new Spinel Spellstone, which harkens back from the Spellstones from Kobolds and Catacombs. It's likely Demon Hunter will get one as well. 

The teams seems to be leaning in strong with the memes recently. We already got Ogrefist Boulder last set, and now Shaman is getting a card of Incredible Value, which lets you discover a 4-mana minion and set it's stats to 7/7. What, no Overload?

We're also getting Common Neutral mini-Rattlegore with the 4-mana 4/3 Nesting Golem. Not such a legendary effect, it seems.

Returning Characters

Whizbang isn't the only character to make a return. We've already seen a new version of Tarim, and we're also getting a new version of good ol' Dr. 7, going by the name Inventor Boom.

Of course, the good Doctor couldn't come back without his greatest invention, Mecha'Th Mecha Jara Zilliax, who goes modular in his Deluxe 3000 version. You pick two modules and a piece of art, and you're good to go!

Freebies and Pre-Order Bonuses

You can log in right now to claim Colifero the Artist as the free Legendary for the set. By pre-purchasing the expansion with either bundle, you'll also get Corridor Sleeper. You'll be able to play with either one right away.
