The theme, or at least the background, of the first two expansions was easily guesses. For that third one though, I admit that I don't have any idea of what it could correspond to. To my knowledge, no WoW zone looks like this...
However, we may find hidden hints for it, as it was the case for the two previous expansions:
From K&C, Elven Minstrel's entry phrase was "There once was a man from Gilneas". The Witchwood is part of Gilneas.
It is therefore very likely that Boomsday has a card that secretly gives away the theme of the next expansion. However, I didn't find any that could correspond...
I think it's most likely a water theme. Maybe it will have something to do with Azhara and the nagas.
[edit] The third picture looks like a seaweed on a shipwreck to me. And since Battle for Azeroth will include a raid with Azhara, maybe the next expansion will be around Nazjatar?
[edit 2] We might as well continue in the original thread:
What about a Deadmines expansion? Don't know to much about WOW to say wether the red ore (around the blue crystal) would fit into that. But we do have the vanCardback...
Who cares? It all feels disconnected and without purpose. You know for all praise HS gets for it's WoW based lore. I don't really get any of that. No expansions really feel connected as if we are making our way through a story. It's all just random, much like Hearthstone itself. With that said. They should do a Troll/Zombie theme. Just rip off Dead Island, take your sandy beaches and ocean waves mixed with zombies.
It has to be water. Probably a lot of murlocs and maybe some nagas or pirates. I'm waiting an underwater expansion for so long, would be nice to have it now ! If this is the case, there is a lot of possibilities for new ocean mechanics. Plus water animations are cool.
My hope is some island with murlocs, pirates and new tribe - plants with main focus of the expansion. I don't want fancy new mechanics. I want meaningful tribes.
et I think it will be trolls and deck manipulation themed expansion
I don't know, themes lately have been so bad that I don't even care anymore.
There's so much good Warcraft lore yet they go with all these joke themes... The best, most popular expansions have always been those with a serious theme.
Part of the reason I even started playing Hearthstone was the warcraft fantasy. It's also why I'm not looking for other card games.
Been playing since Beta and very close to quitting for the first time , after 4 years it's still the same shit over and over again pretty much every major streamer has left the game already. Never has the Meta been this polarized or in other words Rock , Paper , Scizzor. I don't think there capable enough to change things otherwise they would have done so already. Time for something new I gues. Been legend many times now i'm just pissed of even if I win a game of all the stupid shit that is happening.
The orb in the center reminds me of nagas/murlocs/maelstrom, but the background with the tribal painting (looks like teeth to me) seems to indicate trolls.
I haven't played WoW in a really long time, the only place I can think of that has those three tribes would be Zangarmarsh (and I can't really remember if there were actually murlocs there).
That being said though, I agree with people above suggesting that it will be some kind of troll island. I wonder if they're going to add some kind of funny twist to it or leave it as a more "serious" expansion.
Judging by the relations between the teaser images and the actual expansions, this one might as well be about the 13916 children of Hemet Nesingwary and Therazane.

Your guesss.
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
murlocs? please?
An expansion with a new Druid Hero with a the Hero Power: Chose 1: 2 mana Spreading Plague, or 2 mana Savage Roar
126 cards that don't change the meta whatsoever.
New keyword: Rehash. It's an existing thing but repackaged as a new mechanic because it's in a keyword now.

Well doubling imp says " suck a ding ding" so i wonder what expansion will be Kappa
Maelstrom based, possibly involving Murloc, Troll, Naga and Kul Tiras.
If that is the case, it could even contain some new class faction stuff, Gadgetzan style.
ive looked all the battlecries of boomsday cards and found nothing. didnt looked for flavour text tho.
The artwork looks troll themed
ever heard this place
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Dragon_Isles
there's 4 possibilities
1) the next expansion set place in Dragon Isles
2) the next expansion set place in Nazjatar with Queen Azshara getting involved
3) the next expansion set place in Zandalar
4) maybe it is involving troll and naga
Blizz, can i play class other than paladin?

It reminds me a Moonwell: https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/wowpedia/thumb/8/88/Val'sharah_moonwell.jpg/300px-Val'sharah_moonwell.jpg?version=d576dc1d76dd93d0287f4c8f010b2a3b
But I hope it will be a Troll themed expansion.

Love the tribes.

The real question should be: which class they will buff with a hero card? Paladin or Priest? both classes sucks rn
