If you look at some really old card concepts you will actually see some green gems there. So it seems like they did think about another rarity (like in WoW) but in the end decided against it.
Aokigahara for a Deathrattle Hunter, named after the Japanese forest where many people commit suicide and where you can always find some corpses dangling from the trees.
Just so you know, I'm gonna steal this one. That's an awesome idea.
I'll let you know if I happen to stumble upon some especially metal totems ;)
Another Old Gods expansion after an Old Gods expansion wouldn't make any sense.
Those voice files are probably for an upcoming Tavern Brawl.
Blizzard is stepping up their game with the Hearthstone lore since LoE, but WoG is the first expansion that really gives me a feeling of a huge, living world. It has an impact on minions from various previous expansions (I think Validated Doomsayer and Psych-o-Tron are some great examples) and even the fabric around the new board is ripped and slimy.
So the next adventure could either pretend nothing ever happened or give us the opportunity to fight back.
Also, thanks to everyone who mentioned Tavern Brawl. Haven't really looked into that by now, but that would explain a lot.
There are a few things that made me wonder whether the next expansion might also be somewhat Old Gods-related.
First of all, it's the "Year of the Kraken". The new loading screen tip states that every year has a theme.
Why only corrupt the Stormwind gameboard? Is Orgrimmar still to come?
C'Thun has a shitload of voice files, including "That was a mistake" and "Well met". Yet, we haven't seen a card in the new set that would allow us to replace our hero with an Old God.
As you have probably read on the front page, "two new card sets were added internally to Hearthstone for The Old Gods expansion. Each expansion has traditionally only had one set id.
Set ID 21 - OG
Set ID 22 - OG_RESERVE
No cards are currently flagged under set id 22."
What do you think? Possible, or am I over-interpreting?
Any other aces around find this thread disgusting?
Actually, I think it's hilarious. And just because I wouldn't want to sleep with any card doesn't mean I don't know an attractive/intriguing character when I see one. Like Nefarian or Varian Wrynn, Auchenai Soulpriest, Warsong Commander, Nightblade, Eydis Darkbane, Illidan Stormrage...
From the wording, it doesn't sound like it would exclusively heal your face like Antique Healbot. If Big Game Hunter is getting changed, you might want to heal your big minions. But yeah, it would still be a more flexible Holy Light.

Don't think they're going to nerf any classic cards anytime soon, so I'd go ahead and dust her.

As soon as I can afford a full stealing priest list it'll be called "Ceci n'est pas une (un?) deck".

I always pictured her rather as 'Grim Merkel'.
"Everyone! Get in here!"

Damn, all these commas in the new card's names are driving me insane x[
