The long-awaited expansion of Hearthstone - Whizbang's Workshop was released a few days ago and delivered 145 new cards to the players. We met a lot of new faces but some cards are actually revisited versions of some well-known cards from previous years. In this article, we will look into the ten new Hunter cards and explain their flavor texts.
As you may know, every card in Hearthstone has its own "flavor" text which is a specific pun, reference, or joke related to the art or the name of the card. Some "serious" cards have a deeper flavor text that might reveal more about the lore or set the tone of the character. You can see this flavor text when you click on a card in your "My Collection" tab in the game.

Remote Control

- Flavor text: For some reason, my dog keeps trying to eat this.
