It's no secret that Blizzard loves to reveal Cardbacks 3 at a time. Recently they revealed to us the Shadowmoon, Zul'Drak and Halfhill cardbacks for the months of May, June and July respectively. As players awaited their beautiful Halfhill card back however, something interesting happened.

The Halfhill Cardback was replaced as the July Cardback and now new card back is actually the Tinyfin Cardback according to a new Blizzard article. Players that go beyond Rank 20 in July will receive the following cardback instead of the Halfhill one.

So, what does this mean? Well, Halfhill is a place in Pandaria. If we were to consider that the Old God's Travel Agency leaflet was a sort of indication of the upcoming Adventure to be released in August, we'll notice that the Vale of Eternal Blossoms was open in the leaflet, another place in Pandaria. All of this leads to the conclusion that the new adventure of Hearthstone will be set in Pandaria.
Blizzard could have postponed the Halfhill Cardback so that it is released alongside the adventure. Sounds plausible to me. One way or the other, Hype Season is upon us!
Pandaria is certainly an option when looked at it, especially with the delayed cardback, but it could just as easily be a coincedence. I kind of want to believe it though. :D

Any evidence to back up your claim? Because I have enough to back mine.
I'm not native english speaker but i'm pretty sure there is no "evidence" in everything you said.
And no I don't have any evidence. I don't need it. By the way, Icecrown Citadel is on the Old Gods Travel Agency, while Halfhill isn't, so if you call this an evidence, I have more evidence than you do, because there are a ton of reason that could explain why they changed the July card back. But again, that's no evidence.
Remember that Brawl video devs made with all the tribes and the Demon won the brawl ? You would say that's an evidence that demons are coming, and yet there was no demon in wotog.
You're right about the "evidence" part. :P Assumptions is a better word... but Halfhill is a part of Pandaria...and that was the only open leaflet in the Old Gods Travel Agency.
I have the theory that the next Adventure will be something along the lines of "The Challenge of the August Celestials". Each wing will be a temple and the legendary at the end will be the corresponding celestial (white tiger, black ox, etc.). Release date: August obviously.

My guess would have been the Celestials too (if it will in fact be a Pandaria-adventure). Lei Shen would be pretty cool though...maybe as a final boss like Rafaam? My guess for release date? Last week of July.
Truth is i thought exactly the opposite: the new card back has sand on it, and fossilized fishes, and murlocs, it all fits well in the year of the kraken.
My guess is that the new adventure may be out last week of July, and it will have a relation with the kraken (see, lovely murlocs). So the card back.
It was very suspicious when Halfhill card back was lined up perfectly with Vale of Eternal Blossoms from the Travel Agency artwork, as Blizzard love to put themed card backs prior to content releases, so I liked the theory back then. However, it has been confirmed by Blizzard that it had nothing to do with the upcoming Adventure and was not a teaser of any sort.
But now that the card back has been taken off (for what possible reason?) - it's all a little weird. Yet I'm still not quite believing in the whole Pandaria adventure anymore after their words. One thing that keeps me away from the whole Travel Agency speculation is the fact that Blizzard wouldn't tease that much content that soon (since it'd be logical to assume other places would be implemented in game if Vale of Eternal Blossoms was).
But, we got just a month to wait till they start dropping some information.
i would pick ICC over pandaria i don't know i kinda was waiting for Titan adventure to go along with the wotog
My guess would be that the next EXPANSION after this adventure will be titans. There are more than four titans so it doesn't fit for adventure, at least that's my opinion. A titan expansion in November/December would wrap up the year nicely: first the old gods ruled and then came titans to end their regime.

Or that the adventure will be released in final july and is a maritime theme. frogs...sorry murlocks vs pirates!!!
I stopped caring about cardbacks when I got the cupcake one. Now its cupcakes or bust for me!
On-topic: great find! Wonder what Blizzard will do with it :)
i have to agree, it seems to be a pretty likely idea. there is no reason to change the cardback, unless the adventure is in Pandaria.
that means we will possible see:
THRONE OF THUNDER:
with 4 parts of the raid it seems a possibility in pandaria. we might also see lei-shen!!!! the Thunder king
OR
SIEGE OF ORGRIMMAR!
that would be possbile! and links to the old gods.....maybe? XD
all i can say, i am ever more interested to see what the next adventure is
Siege of Ogrimmar? Bring back Iron Juggernaut!
u wot.
Should probably link to the actual news post about the Old God's Travel Agency: http://www.hearthpwn.com/news/1482-the-old-gods-travel-agency-icecrown-dark-portal

But it was just my idea :)
Enjoy the weekend!
Greatness, at any cost.
i would pick ICC over pandaria i don't know i kinda was waiting for Titan adventure to go along with the wotog
but then again not everything you wish for happens, so hoping for ICC
Chill guys, Blizzard just wanna show us that everything in this game is just based on RNG.
You don't always get what you're promised -RNG
