HS_29p4_Patch_Notes_InBlog_GoldenMiniSet_SP_760x428_SW01Artboard%201.jpg

Dr. Boom’s tired of everyone calling Whizbang the world’s greatest inventor. So he kept tinkering away in the basement until he came up with something bombastic, something Gigantic, something... INCREDIBLE!

The Dr. Boom’s Incredible Inventions Mini-Set has 38 all-new cards. Get them in Whizbang’s Workshop packs or as a complete 72-card* Mini-Set. Get the normal version for $14.99 or 2000 Gold, or get the all-Golden version for $69.99 or 10,000 Gold. The all-Golden version comes with a bonus Diamond copy of the Puppetmaster Dorian Legendary minion! You can see all the cards from Dr. Boom’s Incredible Inventions Mini-Set in the of...

That's my assumption too. Look back some cards have the extra bit, some don't. I'm guessing blizzard add it whenever they can, and ignore it otherwise.

whenever we make multiple cards that generate tokens with pretty unique/long effects, we try to have at least 1 card whose focus is explaining the mechanic rather than doing something more complex/unique with it. in this case, Explodineer is a simpler design that explains the entire thing, letting us do a bit more with Safety Expert's design!

some other examples:

  • In Nathria, we made Volatile Skeleton a collectible card. because it's collectible (and common, so its more likely for players to own it), it's more likely for players to be able to search for it, and therefore know what they are in the context of cards like Cold Case!

  • Remember Tamsin's hero card from AV? neither she nor her hero power say what a "Rift" is... but Seeds of Destruction does! Tamsin and her Hero Power have a lot more going on than just shuffling rifts, but Seeds of Destruction's entire effect is JUST shuffling, leaving plenty of room to explain.

Dr. Boom’s been tinkering away in the basement of Whizbang’s Workshop, working on his own line of toys to prove that he is the greatest toymaker and inventor in Azeroth. He’s come up with something huge—gigantic, even—and he’s ready to share it with the world. Prepare to have your mind blown, these are Dr. Boom’s Incredible Inventions!

Dr. Boom’s Incredible Inventions, launching on May 14, consists of 38 new cards: 4 Legendary cards, 1 Epic card, 17 Rare cards, and 16 Common cards. Those cards can either be opened in Whizbang’s Workshop packs or purchased as a completed 72-card set.* Normal versions of the Mini-Set can be purchased for $14.99 or 2000 Gold. The all-Golden version of the Mini-Set can be purchased for $69.99 or 10,000 Gold, and includes a bonus Diamond Legendary card!

* Includes one copy of each Legendary card and two copies of each other card in the Mini-Set.

  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Utility Drone didn’t function properly.
