The dragons have finally landed, and our good friend Whizbang the Wonderful has been quick to recruit their help to tackle the meta with some new (and some old tricks). Below you will find all 18 decks that our wondrous gnome can give to you during what could be his swansong set before his still-impending rotation.
Druid - Trees and Dragons
Talk about new tricks: both archetypes are yet to reach more widespread popularity. Maybe this will be the breakthrough set for them.
Hunter - Quests and Secret Facehunting
The quest deck is one of the unchanged recipes, while Secret Hunter got some reinforcements to play with.
Mage - Highlanders and Dragonic Conjurers
Reno continues to hunt for the riches while Khadgar has recruited plenty of Dragons for his cause.
Paladin - Lightforged Highlanders
Sir Finley isn't giving up on Highlander strategy either. There's also a brand new and pure archetype to tinker with.
Priest - Resurrections and Galakronds
The resurrect Priest remains almost unchanged from last expansion. But I guess most of us would rather like to try out the Galakrond deck instead (despite the weird looking build, if I may say).
Rogue - Thieving for Galakrond
The bazaar has only couple of new items from the Dragon's Hoard to sell steal while Rogue's Galakrond certainly packs a punch for some insane tempo turns.
Shaman - Questing for Galakrond
The jaws are still biting and claws catching in the first deck...and actually in the Galakrond deck as well. Shudderwock is omnipresent.
Warlock - Big Boards and Big Hands
A blast from the past as the good old Zoolock and Handlock got the green light from Blizz. Although when you pick regular Zoolock over a potential Galakrond Zoolock, it doesn't speak highly of the archetype in question...
Warrior - Weapons and Pirates
Apparently Quest Warrior was already perfect as only one copy of Hoard Pillager made it to the list. I still somehow expect to see the Pirate archetype a lot more in the coming days.
Looking for more Descent of Dragons decks? Here you go! Don't forget to check out what our staff members are tinkering with today!
Comments
I just won against the Ysera's Dream Defenders deck using my Ents deck. It went into fatigue on both sides. My opponent dropped Ysera after emptying the deck but I did just enough face damage that they drew into death after drawing all 7 portals.
Blizzard has to make new deck recipes each expansion anyway, so having a card like Whizbang is a super easy way to get more mileage out of that effort. I expect either adding him to Classic or a new card that does something similar. (Perhaps a Choose One at game start to pick a deck?)
Whizbang has never been "good" on ladder but this time around I was just getting *demolished*.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one having this experience. I'm sure some of it was my unfamiliarity with each deck, but I used to break even with him on day one. This time I lost eight games in a row before jumping over to casual. Even there I went 2-4.
Edits: spelling
The Highlander Mage deck recipe is actually pretty good. Farms many slow decks and can survive faster decks as well.
Had this one this morning, it was a lot of fun!
Im adding him to my list of legends to craft just cause it's a bunch of decks condensed in one spot..
Between wild and standard I got no space left.. Gimme more deck spots Pepehands
I wouldn't craft whizbang. You think you will use him but you won't.
I also would like to point out that he is a terrible card if you like to win. Everything about his design challenges every aspect of playing competitively... also not getting the deck you want gets old really fast.
Just to point out that he will expire come the next rotation of cards in the spring. As he's very popular Blizzard might move him to standard permananlty, or they may just print a replacement.
They could just make new deck recipes tho i guess it would lose its point kinda.
To be honest i dont think they will move him to Standard permanently but at the same time i dont think its an impossible outcome.
