Hearthstone Whizbang’s Workshop Card Reveal: Dr. Boom’s Explosive Return
Hearthstone is preparing to celebrate its 10-year anniversary with in-game events as well as a new expansion that pays homage to some of the most iconic moments from the game’s last decade. One of the most infamous cards during the early days of Hearthstone was Dr. Boom, a 7-mana juggernaut that became an absolute must-have. For the Whizbang’s Workshop expansion, the good doctor is bringing a whole series of Warrior mech cards with dangerously explosive synergy.
It centers around Testing Dummy, a 6-mana 4/8 Taunt minion that packs a walloping eight damage at random enemies when it gets destroyed. That by itself is dangerous enough, but then you have several more cards built around getting multiple uses out of your poor dummies.
First, Quality Assurance is a cheap 2-mana spell that will fetch your Testing Dummies, or any other taunt minions your deck happens to include. You can also use the 3-mana Wreck’em and Deck’em spell (where you can spot Dr. Boom himself) to make a copy of a your Testing Dummy that will attack a random enemy, and then self-destruct to trigger its deathrattle. Finally, you can use Dr. Boom’s trusty Boom Wrench to trigger the deathrattle of a friendly mech, like Testing Dummy. Plus your Boom Wrench has the new keyword Miniature, which creates a mini 1-durability copy of itself.
