Greetings From Gadgetzan - Upcoming Content Hints?
A new picture was posted on the PlayHearthstone Twitter this afternoon. This is likely hinting at some new content!

Anyone know how many magic cards are released per year? I know hearthstone isn't magic, but I think they could use more content than one adventure, and two expansions.
MtG releases twice a year. Each consisting about 130 cards. Blizzard does the same. Except MtG only allows cards released within the last year.
MTG also re-releases a lot of cards and reuses a lot of abilities....hell every year they release a core set which is LITERALLY re-releases of cards..
A million times this.
Well, at least it's not Booty Bay.
though maybe a pirate or two will show up.
and 2 or 3 murlocs too, unfortuately
I forsee many Mechs in our future.
i forsen
Now the question is adventure or expansion?
If they release it in 2017 I agree but i doubt that and to me feels to weird to start a new year with an adventure . I mean the goal is to shake the meta wouldnt be better if we get an adventure again now and an expansion to mark the start of the new year. 50 cards may change the meta but takes way less time to figure things out but if they release an expansion then the meta will truly be shaken. What most players want are some tools to help priest and ways to counter or weaken the shaman class. I dont think it can be solved by one adventure nor a expansion but to add more 100+ cards on an already highly favored shaman class I dont think its the best move. After all we then need to wait until the next release to old cards to be out of standard. So yeah not so obvious that will be an expansion IMO
They specifically said two expansions and one adventure a year, so this is an expansion.
I was trying to find blizzard post about that but if I remember correctly they didnt promise that . They said they were in the middle of process of figuring things out and that is what they would like to do but this new year started really late because of the formats so they were not sure
No, they explicitly said it when explaining how Standard will work and what the rate of card rotation will be.
OK , i went back to see the post announcing the formats and couldnt find it. Its cool as long its new content works for me
dude just admit you're wrong. jeezus
Link?

"...Rather than continuing a cadence of expansion-adventure-expansion-adventure, Blizzard lays out a timeline with two expansions per year — one at the start, one near the end — and a single adventure between them."

"...However, with Standard format in mind, the developers now plan to have a new expansion at both the start and end of each year, with an adventure somewhere in between."
It will be released this year just weeks after Blizzcon. It will be an expansion, not an adventure.
thx for the links , so we can assume we will have 2 new expansions before the next adventure that will definitely change the meta. I guess I was wrong my bad
