I don't understand everything about the game yet, but I figured I'd ask this anyway.
Are there going to be additional heroes you can get in the future that can represent the class decks, others than the default 9? So instead of Malfurion, we could go Fandral Staghelm or something.
As far as I know, they intend to expand to more heroes in the future. It will probably be another way for them to generate revenue, either by allowing you to purchase special ones or maybe in the form of game expansions.
That said, I can't find the Blue post that responded to this question, but the reply could be summarised as a "probably."
As many already said, currently there is no statement on it, just that it's not "on the table".
However, it has been said that it is a "community driven" game, in the sense that they develop what they feel the community desires (within certain limits, I presume). This was when talking about multiplayer-battles though, 2v2, 3v3 etc. Probably applies to cosmetic additions as well!
League of Legends can testify to the income of pure cosmetic change additions.....^^
I would imagine that Monk and Death Knight are definitely going to be added eventually. The game obviously needs some progression, and adding new classes are a fresh way to do that. Arthas would be the obvious choice for the DK, although there are definitely others, and there a multitude of brewmasters and pandas to choose for the Monk. So I would bet that someday we will see these classes, just not quite yet.
I think I would rather see more cards implemented into the game for the current heroes then adding more heroes. If they have to put more heroes then every time they release a new set of cards it will take longer, because they would have to make cards for the extra heroes as well as balance it around their hero power.
Well new classes help open up the opportunity for new mechanics easily. Like the Choose One mechanic is currently only for druids, so you could have some new fancy mechanics for Death Knight and Monk, and they wouldn't have to be exclusive either, but they would be centered around those two classes. Maybe for Deathknight could have a Morbid type mechanic like from Magic, where if a card died this turn you get a fancy effect on the next card you play.

Unless they take the easy route and have new heroes be entirely cosmetic rather than actually changing a facet of the game.
Even if they introduced new heroes with a new hero power, unless they add a new class in, there would not be any issue with having to make extra cards for them because they can already use all the existing cards for their class.
Cosmetic Hero options are something I can certainly see being added to the store post release. They would not require any new cards and it is debatable whether they would even need a new power.
I would like them as an unlockable. Adds more flavor to the game and customization. Would also be nice to get a DK class and Monk but I dont see that happening anytime soon.

No, the 9 heros are the main/only hero for the deck
However with that said, the Warlock deck has another hero that is gained by playing a card. He replaces your hero

The only Warlock Hero replace i've seen was on a guy video who changed his hero with Jaraxxus.
Hopefully
wouldn't mind seeing a Chen stormstout monk class later on down the track that would be fun.

probably will be monks and dks, and maaaybe differnet class heroes
Maybe same classes, different characters and different hero ability?
I don't know if I was specific enough. I know there will probably be more class decks with heroes accompanying them.
But I was wondering if new heroes for the default decks will come in the future. That's what I wanted to say.
They've not indicated that they have plans for that. For now and the foreseeable future there's only going to be these heroes.
If you see a bad post on the forum use the report function under it, so I or someone else of the moderation team can take care of it!

why is there no Deathknight deck?

I think blizzard should forcus on adding more card to current heroes first.
to get like 350 card and then add new class after that

Maybe monk and dk. :D

I really like my Ogre shaman hero in the Wow TCG. I'd like to have that option someday.
