Update 11:06 AM: Added note about Blackrock Mountain.
Hearthstone Patch 8036
A small patch has appeared on the Blizzard download servers which contains information about three upcoming card backs.
Blackrock Mountain - Possible New Hearthstone Adventure / Expansion
Speculation: We may be getting a Blackrock Mountain adventure / expansion. There is a string which points to a presale of it becoming available and buying it will reward you with a Molten Core card back. This may not be final, it could also be Blizzard just messing around with us. Keep that in mind!
If you are not familiar with Blackrock Mountain, it is a massive Mountain between Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge (Warcraft zones) which is home to Ragnaros, Elementals, the Dark Iron, and Nefarian. In World of Warcraft, it houses several instances and three raids, and the first Hearthstone adventure, Naxxramas, was based off a raid in World of Warcraft.

New Card Backs
Three new card backs have been datamined, but no images are present in the client at this time. It looks like Ragnaros will be an upcoming Seasonal card back, and the other two are related to achievements.
- Molten Core
- Reward From: License Detected
- Note: purchase brm presale
- Ragnaros
- Reward From: Ranked Season Play
- Golden Celebration
- Reward From: License Detected
- Note: golden celebration cardback
Historically speaking, Achievements / Rewards which trigger off a "license detection" are related to owning a game (Warlords of Draenor Collector's Edition) or ticket (BlizzCon) on your Battle.net account. We cannot say for certain how Molten Core or Golden Celebration will be obtained at this time, but Molten Core does currently point towards a content pre-sale.
I know there could be plenty of little commits with minor bug fixes or code improvements, I work in web development. I just thought it was strange that 201 builds later and the only changes we see are some new card backs. Admittedly, though, I don't know exactly how datamining works, and how you can get some of the patch information and not all of it.
At last new card backs!
I want to see that Ragnaros card back!
Me too SeraphicFire, me too. BY FIRE BE PURGED!
Molten Core next adventure confirmed?
Its a possibility!!!!!! I havent play WoW, but I think that Molten Core is relative to fire and Ragnaros too, and maybe the Golden One is for the players who has played 1 years this game
Come on Gaar 8/8 for 9 with a battle cry to summon 6 1/1 rock elementals...... hahahaha or corehound packs, battlecry summons 2 more corehounds, effect: resurrect at end of turn if you have another corehound in play.
Yeah, Molten Core is a lvl 60 raid. http://www.wowwiki.com/Molten_Core
So, reading that article, it make sense that the next adventure will be the Molten Core!
even better when it is the Whole Blackrock mountain.. there are already some cards from this place in Hearthstone (dark iron dwarf,geddon,ragnaros,Core Hound, The Beast) .. also i think this adventure will be bigger than naxx for sure
Neffarian hype ! (Pls let it be less than 7 attack)
I would like to actually see BWL as well. Nefarian would be a nice legend to add to the game, as well some dragon tribe to enhance some decks. m2c
