I am not sure if I would go as far to say that it "needs" one but I would like to see some more really game changing stuff. What would you like to see? Here are what I think would be some cool examples!
Tournament Mode: An auto bracketing system with various tournament types would be pretty sweet.
New game types: like two headed giant or a non-arena draft mode. Personally I like arena a lot, but I do wish there was a mode I could play arena without the 150 gold entry fee, something I could do with friends. I understand that you can in a way do that now, but unless you have exactly the same cards someone will be at a disadvantage.
New Class: Who doesn't want to see Death Knights or Monks!? Well I am sure some don't lol.
New Card Type: Specifically something like Armor or trinkets. This one is difficult I feel. Honestly may not be worth the hassle.
These are just some examples, If you have your own ideas please share!
Given that the development team just finished the portables, they are now free to work on new modes. So.. yeah, let's have them.
Personally I say Tournament mode. A LOT of the complaints seem to be based on Ranked being the main non-random-draft mode in the game (encouraging faster decks, superhigh grind, little reward if you can't make top 16, ext, lack of variety) A Tournament mode would go a long way towards dealing with all of that.
Tournament Mode - Yes, definitely, would love to see this.
New game types - In the long term I would like to see this, but I wouldn't make them a priority at this point.
New Class - Not really needed I don't think, we have 9 already. Maybe a second hero for each class with a different hero power would be a more practical idea.
New card type - Sure, there is a lot of design space available here. I'm sure we will see this in the future.

I like the new hero power type a ton! Maybe hunter could be something other than face. I mean there is hybrid hunter, that likes to go face, there is also beast hunter which also likes to go face lol. I think this mainly due to the hero power which only goes face.
It is worth noting that Blizzard caught wind of the 2v2 idea and liked it. They were in the middle of some other developments though, so it probably is deep in their backlog of ideas somewhere.
I think they could release a new hero portrait for each class every couple years, complete with new emotes. Just make them cost about 5-10 bucks apiece and be purely cosmetic. New hero powers, while nice, would be impossible to balance.
Tournament mode would be great. I'm surprised we don't have something like this yet. Charge 150 gold for a tournament, the same as Arena. There can be draft tournaments (where you build a random deck like Arena) and constructed tournaments (where you bring a deck or multiple decks).
2v2 mode would require a lot of coding, but it'd be a lot of fun. They could do some cool things in adventures with a 2v2 mode. You would have to buddy up with a friend to take down a boss.
I think some sort of in game support for tournaments will probably be the next big feature. It doesn't seem easy (different formats to support, how to manage the tournaments, etc) but it seems like something that would definitely be big.
I'd love to see them do some sort of free or "Practice" arena even if it had no rewards. I'm starting to get into arena but I hate paying 150 gold and doing poorly and getting a pack, and some common card I DE for 5 dust =(. I know I'll get better with practice but it's hard to keep paying to practice when I still need so many packs for cards for my collection. I don't think they will do it because of the problems it creates. If you have a free arena it will most likely pull people away from the "pay" arena making it hard to match paying vs paying customers. If you mix the pay and free arena players you risk people abusing the free runs to give away arena wins. Maybe they just need to remove the normal common cards as a reward option. Gold commons at least de for more.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

The only cancer in Hearthstone is its community.

I would LOVE a free draft mode - super casual, with no entry fee or rewards. If that existed I would probably do a run once a day, just for fun.
...But there's zero reason for Blizzard to create such a thing, other than to make me happy. So I don't image we'll see that anytime soon :(
