So the new Hearthstone year is predicted to be Year of the Griffin from the calender, so what do you think we'll get/will happen this year? Here's my predictions:
This year will go back to two expansions and one adventure. The Adventure releasing in the Summer. (EDIT: I KNOW EVERYONE IS LINKING ME THAT PCGAMER ARTICLE AND SAYING THEY ARE NEVER DOING ADVENTURES AGAIN! The thing is, this is ActiBlizz, they can do whatever the fuck they want, which is why we got things like Hero Cards. So how about we wait for the official announce before grilling me okay?! This is just what I want, so feel free to add to it or change it.)
We're gonna get new Hero cards this year, probably in the first or last expansion of the year.
Quests will not make a return. My theory is because they died out real fast after Un'goro ended, and they require so much put into them to make them work. Hero cards and Legendary weapons had a bigger impact then those did
We may possibly get a Alliance vs Horde expansion to tie in with the new WoW expansion. In the past they were thinking of implementing a faction mechanic, so we could see it happen.
With Patches and the other 2016 Pirates rotating out, we're gonna get some new pirates, so brace yourself.
I don't think we're gonna get a new minion tribe. I think Blizzard wants to add more Pirates and Elemental synergy first, then 2019 we'll get a new tribe. (Fingers crossed on Undead.)
Possible ideas for Adventures: Darkmoon Faire, Pirate themed with the Southseas, Time Traveling adventure with the Bronze Dragonflight, featuring Chromie.
We're gonna get two class legendaries again. My guess is first expansion Hero cards, then second one new Legendary weapons.
Predictions for Hall of Fame Rotation: Ice Block (It has become a staple for Mages used in over 55% of all decks and is just so broken. I call it Crutch Block for a reason.) Bloodmage Thalnos (Just an all around used Legendary in nearly every deck type. So good since it's cheap, gives spell damage and draws a card.)
And lastly, we're gonna get more new events, as seen with the introduction of Wildfest. If Darkmoon Faire doesn't come in the form of an Adventure, it'll probably come as an event. It'll give everyone some free gold, come with some special Arena exclusive cards, and come with a Tavern Brawl to go with it.
I agree that it will be Year of the Griffon or, at least, something that flies.
We have had: Water (Kraken), Land (Mammoth), so no we need Air.
I like the rest of OP's ideas/prediction. However, I think getting and Adventure is wishful thinking. I have the same wish, but I doubt it. Blizz *may* do something to help FTP, but I doubt it is putting an adventure back.
I hope that there will be more interaction cards with the enemys deck like Skulking Geist, Dirty Rat etc. this game needs more interaction between the players.
Solitaire decks like randuin etc and stuff are just unfun to play against if there is no counterspell/instant mechanic involved.

I'm pretty sure we'll get an adventure. Blizzard said the format would be 2 expansions and one adventure. The 3 expansion thing was a one time thing.

Blizzard didn't say that. They said that they will continue with the 3 expansions because it is more cards to change up gameplay and they liked how that turned out. here is the link to the article. PC Gamer article
Like I said in the other thread, why Bloodmage Thalnos now? Your reasons are no different now than last year, yet no HoF happened back then. I do admire your chutzpah in #3 where you demand a source after spouting a bullet list of conjecture - different rules for different people I guess...

Well that's news to me. Guess I'll be playing less and less. The one thing I always looked forward to was Adventures, and now that they're not doing them anymore in favor of these missions that only award a pack per wing completion is bullshit. I want more bosses, and guaranteed 45 cards, not two class legendaries per expansion.
HOFing Ice Block will forever lock in Mage as a tempo/aggeo class, no more combo nor control. Another anti-secret tech card or something dealing damage on opponent's turn is plenty.
It is a terrible idea guys, please stop talking about it. The FWA nerf has killed off Warrior as a class, nerfs can turn out horribly bad!

But what they said the year before is that they wanted to do 2 expansions, one at the start and one at the end, and 1 expansion in middle of each year, like they did in 2016. Then last year they announced it was now gonna be 3 expansions with some single player content starting from the second and third expansion.
So there is also a good chance they again say they want to do it differently this year, personally I'm hoping for an adventure again, as this many expansions with 2 class legendaries are just too much to keep up, I'm almost broke on dust for the first time in years.

I would love to see thalnos rotate, it's almost always the bestbsoell option for spelldamage and cycle, but at the same time so underwhelming as a legendary. Its time to go boy
Haven't got a source but im like 99% certain blizz said that theyre gonna pump out three expansions a year with no adventures, although with kft and kac i imagine theyll add some extra solo stuff with each expansion.

I wouldnt trust that clock as this is what the year of the kraken 1 looked like
I believe Ben Brode said last year that there won't be any more adventures, but with every expansion they will give us some [minor- my guess by latest expansions] single player content
So the new Hearthstone year is predicted to be Year of the Griffin from the calender, so what do you think we'll get/will happen this year? Here's my predictions:
PS: there won't be any more adventures, just regular expansions with 2 single player "campaigns" in the 2nd and 3rd set of the year
regardless, i just wanna see new keywords to fool around with, many more than regularly. that's pretty much it :)

OP,
Where did that PIC come from? (Not questioning its validity- I don't remember it)

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
