I have just noticed that judging from the release dates of all previous expansion trailers, we should get the cinematic trailer for the next one in maximum 2 weeks. It has always been in the first half of march, except 2017 when Journey to Un'Goro's trailer came out on 27th February. Last year's Rise of Shadows' cinematic was published on 16th March, and the first expansion of 2018, The Witchwood's came out on 12th March. Judging from this tendency I expect the announcment of our next expansion somewhere between 10th and 20th March. What do you think?
What do we think the chances are of new cards being added via adventure becoming the norm? Even though the GA cards were largely unimpactful they were a welcome booster shot between the long dreary wait between expansions. Is there any talk about keeping that going?

No talk so far, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't become the norm moving forward.
I assume that a whole lot more players bought Galakrond's Awakening than the Dalaran and Uldum adventures, just because new cards are a stronger incentive than a mere single player adventure. So, on the one hand, it's in Blizzard's best interest to push players into buying additional things.
And on the other hand, I'm sure the feedback for seeing new cards coming out between expansions was very positive, and the developers probably also like the idea of shaking up the meta with more than just nerfs. It's something that people get excited about, something that keeps the meta "fresh", and something that gives the developers more control.
If something makes sense both economically and gameplay-wise AND is welcomed by the majority of the player base, it's a good idea to continue doing it.

For a f2p player, 4800 gold between expansions is a huge deal. If they keep releasing these bonus adventures with cards locked up behind them i think many will struggle to keep up without paying.

...when I gathered enough Gold.
No official date, but Blizzard has said there will be an announcement coming mid-March. My guess would be the week 3/9 or 3/16.
