Idea!
Ive thought to give this card to new players or players who wasnt long time in a game for free, but after this thought about addint this card to core.
Why?
Its very good solution for new players to know different cards and mechanics.
It is awesome powerfull card, but it was so time ago that young players even dont know about this card.
And even if they know, playing it in wild - its a different game. And for new players may be kinda difficult. Thats why thought about core and standart game. Or just be able to play it in standart and so craft it?
So, express your opinion about this, mainly about idea of add this card to core.
Or whatever else you like about this direction to make Whizbang playeble to old and new players.
They give new players a free deck instead. I think that’s honestly probably better for new players than Whizbang is.
How is 1 free deck better than 30 decks? Sure you don’t have access to this cards, but only one, but if you are a new player it’s better for you to play different decks to get a feeling for the game complexity than just sticking to one.
I am still for it that they should add him to core set and put a gold version maybe diamond version for the shop for money.
The current idea from Blizzard isn’t really better for newer players, but for Blizzard themselves to generate more money, because also sell decks for money and it generates more money buying single decks than one Whizbang. That’s why they don’t add Whizbang to the coreset, because it makes the game less profitable.

Why 1 or the other?
Whizbang decks are, for the most part, unrefined at best. Completely useless in wild.
So why not make it evergreen/core?
You dont get to choose the deck he gives, its completely random with 22 options.
Youre not climbing into D5+ with Whizbang decks, but it does give you options to get a better play experience of the game than a single (poorly built) deck does.

Um yeah you probably could. You can climb to D5 with a 45.34% winrate. Climbing to D5 takes no skill. Climbing past D5, well on that point I’d agree with you.
Nah, do your research.
Climbing to D5 WAS possible with Whizz decks.
Climbing above that… Many tried, none made any significant progress.
We have way better ways to help new players today.
This is partly true. Whizbang decks are kinda refined standard decks and since newer sets are powercreeped that’s why Whizbang decks aren’t bad actually compared to older decks.
The main reason is for new players to engage in deckbuilding.

it should be at least a core card since the decks it gives are standard decks anyway.
i love that they kept it updated with the new decks at least.

Nonsense. To reach a 45% WR one may need skill, only its one that can be somewhat below average.
The problem with this is that you aren’t thinking systemically. Try to stop thinking in terms of yourself individually and think in terms of ten thousand dots representing ten thousand players, moving through the ranks.
In Diamond 4-1, “average” doesn’t really climb. It treads water, hanging out at or near rank floor of Diamond 5. So over time, there’s very little (essentially zero) change in the quality of opponents.
However, at Diamond 6 and below, “average” and a little bit of below average are constantly being pushed up the ranks. So if the average opponent is more skilled than you, all you have to do is wait. The old “average” players will be removed up to the higher ranks and and the new “average” will be one tier less competent.
Platinum ranks around the 20th of the month are full of players who are just as skilled as Silver ranks are on the 10th. All it takes is time and the opposition gets stupider.
All of this os correct and I know it. Still it makes no sense to say that to get to D6 you need no skill. If that were true there would not be really skilless ou low skill players perma stuck at lower ranks, all rsting climbs below D5 would be by chance.
“No skill” is slight hyperbole, I don’t mean literally zero. What I DO mean by it is that if someone cannot at least get to D5 then I’m not particularly interested in their opinions on game balance.
Ok, understood. At least we get a significant consensus here.
