Hearthstone: Whizbang’s Workshop Expansion Announced As Blizzard Celebrates 10th Anniversary For Year Of The Pegasus

Hearthstone’s next year, the Year of the Pegasus is part of a big milestone for the game as it coincides with the game’s 10th anniversary. So with that, Blizzard has announced several things coming to the game such as birthday giveaways, in-game events, a Core Set update, and the reveal of the first of three expansions coming to the game, Whizbang’s Workshop.

In celebration of Hearthstone’s 10th anniversary, anyone who logs in once patch 28.6 goes live is getting 12 extra special card grants. These include one “Gift” card for each class, and Harth Stonebrew.

Players can also earn in-game anniversary rewards from February 27 – March 19. Players who complete the Event Rewards Track will earn Golden versions of all the “Gift” cards, plus a special birthday coin. On Hearthstone’s official anniversary, March 11, there will be a Legendary Quest that players can complete to get the 10-year Anniversary Card Back. Players can also celebrate the game’s anniversary with the Hearthstone: Music from The Tavern Album (Anniversary Picks) with over 30 Hearthstone in-game tracks. Two more Hearthstone: Music from the Tavern album releases will come later in the year including songs from the Anniversary Picks and more.

Throughout the month of March, players can take a trip down memory lane and play through Hearthstone’s entire history. Starting on March 1, only Legacy will be legal. On March 2, Hearthstone’s first infusion of cards, Curse of Naxxramas, will be added to the legal card pool. On March 3, Goblins Vs. Gnomes will be added. Each day will see the next infusion of cards all the way through the entire history of Hearthstone.

The Core Set update is designed to celebrate Hearthstone’s history and future with iconic old favorites and a few new friends not seen in Standard including Leeroy Jenkins, Fiery War Axe, Justicar Trueheart, Wrath of Air Totem, Gnomelia, S.A.F.E. Pilot, Warsong Pilot, Night Elf Huntress, and Footman.

A new keyword is coming to the Core Set update. Minions with the Elusive keywords can’t be targeted by spells or Hero powers. Other core updates include uprooting Druid’s ramping mechanic, reducing Rune requirements for several Death Knight cards, and upgrades to some old favorite cards for the modern game.

Hearthstone: Whizbang’s Workshop is set go live on March 19 with 145 new cards and sees the genius inventor and toymaker, Whizbang opening the doors to his magical workshop- with all of Azeroth invited.  This place is teeming with plushies, Miniatures, and more. With nonstop nostalgia and options galore, you’re bound to find a new favorite toy—or even build one yourself.

With the new Keyword, Miniaturize, some of Whizbang’s creations come with their own copy. Whenever a card with the Miniaturize keyword is played, a 1-mana 1/1 copy is added to the player’s hand. You can play the mini right away for tempo, or save it for a cheap, powerful effect when the time is right. Whizbang’s creations are inspired by Hearthstone’s 10 years and is full of familiar faces and new takes on mechanics from the game’s past.

Players will also have the opportunity to build their own card with the fully customizable Zilliax Deluxe 3000. Players can combine two Zillax modules to combine their costs, stats, and effects. Players who open their first Whizbang Workshop pack will be granted the Legendary minion, Colifero the Artist. This is one of a few talented Artist cards in Whizbang’s Workshop, all of which will have a special effect based on the card they draw. Colifero has a special talent for capturing your drawn card’s likeness and conveying it to your minions in play.

Every Whizbang Workshop pre-purchase bundle will come with 2 copies of Corridor Sleeper, an early access Epic Card from Whizbang’s Workshop. The Mega Bundle includes 80 Whizbang’s Workshop card packs, 10 Golden Whizbang’s Workshop card packs, 1 random Whizbang’s Workshop Signature Legendary card, 1 random Whizbang’s Workshop Golden Legendary card, the Patches the Pirate Rogue Hero Skin, the Patches the Pirate Card Back, and 2 Corridor Sleeper Early Access Epic cards. The Whizbang’s Workshop Bundle includes 60 Whizbang’s Workshop card packs, 2 random Whizbang’s Workshop Legendary cards, the Patches the Pirate Card Back, and 2 Corridor Sleeper Early Access Epic cards.
