Hearthstone All New Shaman Cards in Whizbang's Workshop Explained

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 Shaman 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.

Make sure to check out our in-depth explanation articles for each card class in Whizbang's Workshop! Now let's begin!

Pop-Up Book

Rarity: Common
Race: Animated Object, Orc, Tauren, Totem, Troll
Flavor text: What's up-book?
Flavor text explanation: The flavor text makes a clever joke about the book's popping-out segments by literally asking "What's up".

Incredible Value

Rarity: Common
Race: Dwarf, N'raqi
Flavor text: Now with expedited Overload!
Flavor text explanation: You might remember the card Faceless Behemoth for its bad reputation among fans of the game. The card had 4 mana 7/7 and 2 overload. The flavor text here teases Hearthstone players by saying that they EVEN removed the overload this time.

Sand Art Elemental

Rarity: Common
Race: Elemental
Flavor text: This art HURT ME!!!
Flavor text explanation: What would make sense here is that the flavor text jokingly suggests that, unlike any other sand figure, this one can actually hurt you.

Fairy Tale Forest

Rarity: Rare
Flavor text: Man, I wish fairy tales were real, Durg'tash the Sorcerer.
Flavor text explanation: The flavor text is a saying of a sorcerer who despite being a magician dreams of fairy tales being real which is ironic since his existence already means fairy tales exist.

Baking Soda Volcano

Rarity: Rare
Race: Orc
Flavor text: Science rules.
Flavor text explanation: The baking soda volcano is a very popular science project for children in school. The young orc in the art also seems to be testing the science rules.

Wish Upon a Star

Rarity: Rare
Race: Troll
Flavor text: "What are you going to wish for?"
"I wish I had just a liiiiiiiittle more Attack and Health!"
"...Really? You don't want, like, a million more?"
Flavor text explanation: When wishing upon a star you can ask for literally anything but the troll asks for a much more realistic and humble gift.

Once Upon a Time...

Rarity: Epic
Race: Elemental, Human
Flavor text: ...There was a humble little squirrel on a quest to defeat an evil dragon. With the help of its earthen friend, it saved the murloc princess from danger. The end.
Flavor text explanation: As you can see the name and the flavor text of the card are connected. The reader we see in the art reads a short story that actually summons all the minions just as shown in the card effect.

Shining Sentinel

Rarity: Epic
Race: Elemental
Flavor text: OMG, I FINALLY GOT A SHINING SENTINEL AFTER 3 PHASES AND 8192 RESETS!!!!!
Flavor text explanation: This seems to be a joke referring to all players in different games like Pokemon who try very hard to get special edition items which could take a lot of time and countless tries.

Hagatha the Fabled

Rarity: Legendary
Race: Orc, Dragon
Flavor text: Soup's on!
Flavor text explanation: Witches are known for their poisonous potions and elixirs. I mean just look at Hagatha's mixture. I doubt anyone would ever consider this a soup, let alone eat it.

Shudderblock

Rarity: Legendary
Race: Animated Object, Muckling
Flavor text: Beware the hinges that pinch, the scales that splinter!
Flavor text explanation: When summoning the original Shudderwock he says "My jaws that bite, my claws that catch". Now, turned into a wooden toy, Shudderwock talks about his hinges and scales.
