Given what you have, I would definitely recommend the Waveform City as your first Wiard oscillator, but you might want to defer your decision on the second one until you have put some time in with the WC.
The WC offers the same oscillator core as the Classic VCO, plus the 8-bit waveshaper. It has the same sweet sine, triangle, and sawtooth waves; it offers linear FM (though without the dedicated attenuator); and you can get a form of PWM using certain wavetables, so in many ways it's the Classic VCO and much more.
That said, the Classic VCO has some unique features of its own like the random output (especially useful in LFO mode and/or patched back into the CVCO mod inputs) and it is my favorite Pulse/PWM wave of any synth I use. I own four Serge VCO's (1 NTO) and my partner owns a Eurorack system including a couple of Plan B Model 15s, and while I do enjoy the unique character of
those I can tell you the Classic VCO blows them all away.
I think the most flexible combination is one of each, but others' mileage may vary.

Not owning a Waveform City I have been listening to the Nord synths
and wondered if the Waveform City sounded like that...or what can you
compare its sound to?
Owning a Serge VC0s and a Plan B VCO I am thinking about maybe
skipping the Classic VCO to get 2 Waveform Cities, or is the Classic
VCO really worth getting
