Twas the night before Whizbang’s, and all through the store,

that wacky old gnome crafted trinkets galore!

His magical workshop was filled with delights:

Knick-knacks to take Hearthstone games to new heights!

 

He’d left the employ of that foul Dr. Boom,

allowing his creative passions to bloom!

His gizmos and gadgets and fun souvenirs

would bring celebrations for Hearthstone’s ten years!

 

Li’na kept books and Jepetto would tinker,

ensuring no card in the bunch was a stinker.

Colifero painted the module selection

for a new Zilliax to enforce his PERFECTION.

 

Resplendent contraptions lined each shelf and wall,

with Minis abound to be shared amongst all.

The wind-ups and callbacks and sleek origami

Would bring joy in waves like a cheerful tsunami!

 

The playroom saw Druids playtesting the dolls,

bringing spell damage buffs to help out in their brawls!

They’ll look to the sky as Aviana ascends,

inviting along all her ten closest friends!

 

The Hunters joined in, with remote controlled hounds,

and toy dinosaurs also making the rounds!

But Hemet’s new strategy seems kinda scuffed:

There’s no honor in hunting what’s already stuffed!

 

In search of unicorns, Priests found a way

to make spells and minions from paper and clay!

Raza returned, as if sealed up like new,

while Zarimi turned one single turn into two!

Raza returned, as if sealed up like new,

while Zarimi turned… hey, wait a sec, déjà vu…

 

Khadgar led Mages up in the library.

The puzzles to solve made those nerds feel quite merry!

Elementals helped them all stretch their brains yonder,

and provided a cool, new, bespoke Orb to ponder.

 

Hagatha’s fairy tales brought awe and laughter:

Could Shudderblock’s might bring a Happy E’er After?

That volcano’s new element? Shamans are calling it:

“Heed my call, storm, earth, and sodium bicarbonate!”

 

The game room was crowded with jock Illidari:

Mess with these athletes, and you would be sorry!

Magtheridon dished out raw damage aplenty,

and Ci’Cigi threw back to April 2020!

 

Paladins brought many a vintage collectible:

Buffing their tigers seemed plenty respectable!

Pipsi adorned all the doodads with glamor.

Want to join in? Use a big paintbrush hammer!

 

Rogues brought in pirates to raid Whizbang’s pool

while Goldbeard shoplifted. (Hey, man, that’s not cool!)

One-drops were copied through Sonya’s sly tricks -

Let her snowball and you’ll soon ride the Styx.

 

Warlocks stepped up to spin Wheels of DEATH!!!

(That card looks real cool, but I won’t hold my breath.)

And all Hearthstone players will reach a new zen

when they get to kill Nemsy… again… and again…

 

Down in the basement, the Warriors toiled:

Dr. Boom made sure their Mechs were well-oiled!

Could bots and Taunt minions help them crack the code?

Time will tell. WARNING: Poem may explode.

 

Deep in the cellar, Stitchensew sewed,

mending those toys that just weren’t up to code.

The Headless Horseman helped Death Knights on their climbs -

I respect him much more after writing these rhymes.

 

The shop would soon open - excitement abounded!

Whizbang’s wild wonders would leave all astounded!

From the orcs to the dwarves to the trolls to the elves,

the toys from his workshop would fly off the shelves!

 

Whizbang let folks in; his toys, they would own,

all excited to laud a decade of Hearthstone!

And I heard him exclaim to his shop full of cheers,

“Happy Hearthstone to all, and a happy ten years!”

"There's no honor in hunting what's already stuffed" is such a fire line. Incredibly well done. This is my favorite one yet.
