Talk:Wilfred Fizzlebang

Ongoing effect or triggered effect (or both)?
How does Wilfred Fizzlebang actually work? I have some possible explanations, but I can't tell which is the right one (I even do not own the card to test it myself, given that tests able to find it out exist): Elekim (talk) 05:59, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Wilfred Fizzlebang has an ongoing effect that modifies your Life Tap/Soul Tap only, changing them into something like "Draw a card: it costs (0)". The cost is set through an enchantment created when the card is drawn.
 * Wilfred Fizzlebang has a triggered effect that sounds like "Whenever you draw a card using your Hero Power, reduce its cost to (0)". The cost is set through an enchantment created when the card is drawn (in the Hero Power Phase).
 * Wilfred Fizzlebang has an Inspire Phase triggered effect that sounds like "When you use your Hero Power, reduce the cost of cards drawn with it to (0)". The cost is set through an enchantment created in the Inspire Phase (instead of the Hero Power Phase).


 * I don't own the card either. If someone does, my suggestion would be to activate Wilfred's effect with logging enabled ( https://github.com/jleclanche/fireplace/wiki/How-to-enable-logging ) and to post the log. You can't see mana cost related Enchantments in the log, but you could look for things like trigger blocks which would hint about how it works. --Patashu (talk) 23:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I have very low resources (both as cards and as playtesting friends ;-)), but I manage to get Wilfred with logging enabled! I played against the AI Warlock with a Rogue deck filled with cards that generate Warlock cards (Burgle, Undercity Huckster + Gang Up / Unearthed Raptor, plus a Faceless Manipulator, Chromaggus and 2 Thistle Tea for possibly even more copies) and cards to give me Life Tap (Sideshow Spelleater, Sir Finley + Gang Up/Shadowstep). After a few games, I get Wilfred from a Huckster; I have had to wait the Spelleater to have Life Tap, play Wilfred and use the Hero Power. I played also some Tournament Medic for Inspire, a couple of Thaurissan (duplicated by Thistle Tea), bounce Wilfred to my hand to play it with a different timestep, use Life Tap when with a full hand (the cards was shown to have a 0-mana cost before being incinerated). However, that was the first time I used logging: the log file is really really long, and I have no idea to where and how to look for information, nor how and if it's the case to post it somewhere.

 * You only care about the action of playing Life Tap with Wilfred Fizzlebang out. To this end, do the following: 1) open in Notepad++ 2) ctrl+f Life Tap and click 'Find All in Current Document' 3) find the instance that happened after Wilfred Fizzlebang was played (maybe do both searches and compare line numbers) 4) cut only that part of the log, and upload it to gist.github.com or pastebin.com --Patashu (talk) 13:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I cut&paste the log file on pastebin.com as "Hearthstone - Wilfred Fizzlebang log by Elekim". It's still rather long: as I explained, I used Life Tap for many turns while Wilfred was in play, and so I posted the entire log from when Wilfred came to play to the last time I used Life Tap (or at least that is what I guessed by reading those obscure log lines... :-)). Since it's my first time, I don't know if I used pastebin.com correctly: let me know if it works and if you get the needed information. Thank you.Elekim (talk) 04:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I can't find it knowing the name you gave it to me. You need to post the link you got when you uploaded it. --Patashu (talk) 11:32, 8 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I think there has been some technical time between when I submitted it and when it was published: I tried to search for it (searching "elekim") but I didn't get the desired result until few minutes ago. You should be able to find it now, simply by searching for "elekim". However, this is the link: http://pastebin.com/xPfkK6pD. Elekim (talk) 14:45, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
