Alright so the goal was reached! I will write this thing that I wanted to write a couple of days ago, but didn't think anyone would bother to read, maybe I chose an unwise way to go at it, but oh well, you live and you learn^^
I made you a promise and of course I will try to keep it :)
Disclaimer: This is no new information, this is just my detailed reasoning for why I believe this expansion will include Pirates, Demons and a new tribe, but of course, I have no proof or guarantees, it's all just speculation ;)
Psst, don't have photoshop so I half-assed these images heavily, sorry!
I believe that with the upcoming expansion for Hearthstone we are going to see a strong support for Pirates and Demons as well as a new tribe or at least a new type of minions (Similar to how we have goblins, ogres and troggs).
Why you ask?
Well with the removal of Hearthstone's first adventure Naxxramas, and it's first expansion Goblins vs Gnomes, from Standard format I believe Team 5 will put a great deal of effort into making sure the game still has a huge variety of deck archetypes you can play, as well as making the next expansion be a lot about having fun while also including some type of dark side to make up for the removal of maybe the two most thematically lop-sided Hearthstone releases we've ever had! GvG = Fun, wacky, RNG feeling Naxxramas = Dark, gloomy, undead feeling
I'm convinced they will do this by releasing more tribes or tribe-like minions that instantly make you want to create new decks that revolve around their synergies and make you forget about losing all those auto-includes when you build your deck, but rather enjoy their absence in the Standard meta.
Why am I talking so much about just Standard? Well I think it's quite obvious they will focus on improving the new game mode they are introducing as Wild will mostly be the same mode we're playing now, just missing a few things that some players miss, but most doesn't care about....what is important is if they keep it balanced or not, but that's for another discussion.
So by introducing a bunch of new minions that have positive synergy, both with existing cards and other cards within the release itself, they will still hopefully keep the game feeling fresh and their community as happy and active as they possibly can :)
So why exactly Pirates, Demons and a completely new tribe?
Well Pirates seems to be generally perceived as fun and whenevere a new pirate is introduced there will always be a whole lot of people trying to make their pirate decks work or invent completely new pirate decks, exactly what I assume they would want to see happen in Standard!
Also they have written a couple statements that strongly suggests a water-themed expansion, like: "..get ready to make some waves!" and "..the expansion will be really, reallycool!"
Some people have also mentioned that there was a pirate card planned for release with TGT that didn't make the final cut, it seemed to me that it was due to possibly being broken, it was the favorite card of one of the designers so should be pretty cool!
So that's some of the fun aspect I believe they will be pushing, but why Demons?
Well Demons are clearly more on the dark side and I just have a feeling that it will be a bit like dark side vs light side this next expansion...they haven't really gone there yet, but idk enough WoW lore to tell you if there is a fitting event to theme it after or not. It probably wont just be to encourage demon decks from Warlock, it might get some decent stuff to "replace" Mal'Ganis and Voidcaller which are both being removed from Standard, but I believe that we will be seeing a bunch of neutral demons as well that makes our card pool feel more diverse and...idk fun...tribes are usually fun! :) Also we got this horrible card, when will this ever become useful? :P Light's Champion
If the Kraken will be included somehow I believe it might be something like a Corrupted Sea Monster which have been manipulated by the Demon army...you know Sargeras' crew :P
Then to further enrich our card pool and make the theme not just be Pirates vs Demons I believe they'll be adding a new tribe, which very likely will be some fairie-like minions due to a couple hints we've already gotten for the next expansion, like these two images:
Before both the other expansions, and I believe also all the adventures, we've had hints like these pop up that has been thematically telling for the upcoming release, so why should this time be any different? I believe these pixies, fairies or whatever you wanna call them are trying to tell us something and that something is that they will be crawling all over the place once the new expansion hits!
The loss of GvG and most mechs + Demon synergy cards I feel would leave kind of a void that this expansion need to fill, and I think this type of new tribe would fit in with what I believe might be a Dark side vs Light side type of expansion where mostly Demons are on one side and these new creatures are on the other, with Pirates being a little bit on both sides, untrustly as they are known to be...I truly hope and believe this expansion could be the most fun we've had so far! :D
Okay that's it, hopefully you enjoyed the read and maybe you agree, maybe you don't, most of all I just hope all this didn't make me forever hated, I know I can be a bit too honest and cocky sometimes, but I'm really not such a bad guy! :P

What is Hearthstone to you? A fun and semi-competitive game with wacky effects and crazy RNG outcomes or just a card game you wanna grind as many wins you can get as fast as possible in?
lol thats ridiculos, if there was a way to dislike post i'd dislike this one! Stop like-begging, deliver a quality post and you'd get your likes, this is just a joke.

Don't up vote him, up vote someone else in the thread. There was this garbage deck with Kidnapper in it a while back and the putz claimed he won 50 games in a row with it and would tell how if he got 100 up votes. Then he admitted it was a scam. Don't fall for this garbage thread. If you must up vote someone, pick Sherman1986 and not the OP.

The asking for likes was more to measure interest actually, I had a good idea that something like this would happen, but didn't think it would be this one-sided....quite a forum this is^^

I fully admit that getting the achievement gave me an incentive to do this, however the main reason I asked for likes was to measure interest, trying to say anything else would be retarded of you, would be the same as me telling you that the reason you are a boy is because I wanted you to be, it makes no sense, because it is a lie.

Pirates also belong to the sea, same as the Kraken, which will be the Zodiac sign of Hearthstones first official calender year, and really they can't not have pirates in something Kraken related, that would just be silly :P

Trying to find a link to the interview where they explained that it was the favorite card of one of the designers but can't find it :(

A small contribution to the belief we will get Demons is also that Demons won a brawl thing we had recently, you can read about it here:
