Trivia

 * Whizbang went through some iteration during the development of The Boomsday Project. Very early on, his card text read: "When the game starts, replace your deck with one of Whizbang's wonderful decks". However, it took some iteration for Blizzard to figure out what they could reasonably do from a technical standpoint, as well as what was still fun and provided good gameplay in the long term. Peter Whalen cites the idea of a scrapped card from the League of Explorers set known as "Rafaam's mirror", whose text read: "When the game starts, your deck is replaced with your opponent's". Blizzard didn't really want to make that card, since promoting mirror matches in Ranked would have the downside of driving up the play-rate of the highest-played decks, and so the team wanted to find a cooler version of the idea. The team tried various different versions of having "a deck in a card", such as having an outright random deck or a copy of the last opponent's card. They eventually settled on having Whizbang give the player one of the Deck Recipes, which were designed to be fairly reasonable. The team then had to decide on whether the Deck Recipe would be chosen at random every day (so that, e.g., every player using Whizbang on one particular day would receive the same deck, a different deck the following day, and so on) or if it would be chosen at random every time the player played. The latter ended up being the slightly more fun option, and so it was the one the team settled on.
